K Dispensary Bill. Measuro (lives Kiglit to Yoto Out Dispensary in any County by Majority Vote. Special to Greenville New.". Columbia, Feb. 4. ? In tho House this morning Mr. Tatum offered a substitute dispensary bill, prepared by tho committee to take tho place of tho ono first offered. It provides for the election of a Stato board of control and to furthsr regulate the sale, use and disposition ofaclohol10 liquors and t:> provide further penalties. Stripped of all legislative verbiage, tho bill means that if any county shall voto for pro hibition it must pay a special tax for the enforcement of the law, which is siuiply another way of forcing all sections to patronize the dispensary. Following is the full text of the substitute bill: Ho it enacted by the General Assembly of South Carolina: Section. 1. That section 7 of an act entitled an act to provide for the election of a State board I of control, and to further regulate the sale, use and consumption, transportation and disposition of intoxicating and alcoholic liquors or liquids in the State and pre scribes further penalties for violations of tho dispensary laws, and to police tho same," be stricken out and tho following be inserted in lieu thereof, t? bo known as section 7. Sectiou 7. There may bo one or more count}' dispensers appointed for each county, the place of business of each cf whom shall be designated by the county board of control, but tho State hoard of control must give consent before more than one dispenser can bo appointed in any county and when the county board designates a locality for a dispensary, 20days' public notice of which shall he given, it shall bo competeni for a majority of the qualified voters of the township in which such dispensury is to ho located to prevent its location in such township by signing s petition or petitions addressed to the county bourd ro questing that no dispensary ho established in that township. Any ceunty may uocure the establishment of all dispensaries or removal of a dispensary or dispensaries within its limits in the following mannor: Upon the petition of one-fourth of the qualified voter, of each county for an election upon either the question of the estahHshmsnt or the removal of dispensaries thsrein being filed with the county supervisor of each county, he shall order the election submitting the question ofi 'dispensary or 1 'no dispensary" to the qualified voters of such county, which election shall ho conducted as other special elections, and if a majority of the : ballots cast be found and declared 1 to be for a dispensary, thon a dis ponsary may bo established in said | county,but if a majority ofthebal- J lota cast be found and declared to | bo against the dispensary, then no ,J dispensary shall bo established J therein, and all dispensaries aires- |' dy established shall be closed. Elee j tions under this section can be held 1 not oftenerthan once in two years. No dispensary shull bo established in any county, town or city j wherein tho sulo of alcoholic liquors was prohibited prior to duly j, i&im, except as her.") in permitted: Provided, That whero dispensaries have been cs tablisbed in such county, town or city, they shall remain close I us permitted in this act. Provided a tax of one-half mill is hereby levied upon every dollar of value of all taxable property in all connties having no dispensary and in all counties voting to remove or <?' >so the dispensaries us above provided f*?r the purpose of <le l'rayiti^ the expenses of tho enforce" out of tlio dispensary law in said county under and by the direction of the governor, said tax to be collected as other county taxes and forwarded to tho State treasurer to ho expended, or so Ill IIL11 UlUlt'UI Ub UJ?V UU UVCl*3iaijr, as now provided by law for such purpose. Any balance remain ing unexpended at the end of the yeut* to be returned by the Stnto treasurer to the county treasurer of such county for general county purposes and that the value of all contraband goods seized in such count}', as determined by the State board of directors, shall be credited to the fuud raised Intend levy for tho enforcement of the law as above provided. And j any amount expended in said county for tho enforcement of the dispensary law shall bo refunded to the Stale treasury upon the collodion of the tax above levied. Section 2.

Excitement Over the Horrible Shields Case Heads to Action. Hoauoke, Ya , Feb. G.?Taylor Fields, a negro who was charged with talsing about the Shields assault case in a way cal culated to iucito the blacks, was taken from his homo at Salem last midnight by a mob of several hundred men and with a rope around his neck, carried to the main atrott of thj town, whore ho was stripped to tbo waist, bound to a telephone pole and unmercifully whipped with pieces of electric light wire and sticks.'

South Carolina cannot expect to oucourago now coi porations when it demands an extra *ax of three per cant of the gross income, and the iaw may force some of tho business and industrial establishments already here to loavo. It is claiiiifd that the franchise tax plan is copied uf'er the Ohio and tho New York luw?. Those States, however, are richer than S >*.it!i Carolina. They can afford to do things that would be ruinous here, yet the Legislature is not disposed to look at the question in that light. If wo would be fair we should tax every business, but is not right to select the establishments that are ^incorporated and permit others to escape tho cxtrs penalty. Except for tho tax now being puid by the corporutions this State would bo unable to pay the salary of those mon who arc making tho laws.?

Savs lie is Asked About it Everywhere He Goes. Washington, D. C., Feb. 5.? Senator Tillman is red hot about the newspaper stories published in and sent out from South Carolina about the murdors in thut state He seems to think that the editors of tho Carolina papers l it . - l * mid ino corn-sponnenis or papers outside the stuto are doing their homo a great harm. In talking about tie matter today he said: "1 have been very much mortified by the unseomlv and outrageous plunders that have been put forth almost without exception by the newspapers of South Carolina and outside again-t our own stute. Everywhere I g.; here 1 meet such remarks as these: 'Tillman, I see you have hud 220 murdeis in South Carolina this last year, more than any other state in tho union.' Of course 1 have seen the report of the attorney gener ul, the basis for this statement, and tho comments of our own editors on it. Every person killed in the Htute was 'murdered,' according to these writers. What ii tbfx I'Atililll Wn nro II<1 - ? ? - ~ ~ ?? vertised ns semi-barbarians without any regard for law, and that 'red handed murder' stalks abroad without punishment. "Some of our newspapers are clamoring for means to immU grouts to South Carolina. What is the use of organizing a bureau wf coimnerco and immigration at Columbia and sending literature praising our climato and soil and urging people to come among us, when thono who should know hotter and should do better are exercising ingenuity to cause strangers to shun tho state as they would leprosy? We need irumi grants if wg can gel loose of a certain sort, and we need a better enforcement of tho law, but we are not better and no worse than our neighbors of the southern s ates, and wo are just ns good as any of our fellow citizens of the north, and I am disgusted to see tha stuto's reputation thus dragged in tho mire. One thing is very certain, that lawlessness has not been driven from the land, hut the state's good name has been befouled by its own citizens." W. W. P. stop ir A neglected cough or cold may lead to serious bronchial or lung troubles. Don't take chances when Foley's Honey and Tar atorda perfect security from scrfious effect of a cold. In his communication to The State, printed Thursday, Mr. G. j Marshall Moore emphasizes two of the most important needs f^r the betterment of our educational system; namoly, more adequate provision for agricultural education and the urgent necessity of compulsory schoel attendance. He points in the farst instance to the inability of Clemson to roach the poorer farmer boys who arc debarred from attendance upon college by the necessity of daily labor, and ho argues for a system that will roach the boy in the field as the only efficacious method of accomplishing any general good. Likewise, tho younger boy, who is keDt from attending school bv , r r? 'j ignorant and telfUh parents, mmt ho cared for and protected t?y a law which will compel his attendance. These are two problems in the wise solution ef which lies the future welfares of the State's white citizenship.?The State. <Pus*. oyi:zSJ. . Dears tho s?
