The South Carolina Leoij-l.-ituie j will convene in Columbia next Tuesday, the time fixed by tlx; present State Constitution, and will, peihaps, ( be one of the most important session held since the Reformers have had control of the State government. Two of the most important jjuestions that will come up for consideration in the eaily stages of the session are the dispensary system of eontroliug the sale of whisky aud a measure to increase the revenues of the State Tue first of those two measures will have t) ruu the gauntlet of the com bined forces of the whisky ok went and the blue stocking Prohibitionists, bit it is thought that the friends of the s}steui is sufficiently strong to successfully repel all efforts to have it repealed and high license or proLi tion substituted, either of which Would be woise than the first because the first would be placing the sale of whiskey into the hands of irresponsible persous and the latter is simply impracticable, illogical and would be the veiy law for persons who desire to stll liquor without l>ave or license to do so under. That the dispensary law will be materially amended and its weak points greatly strengthened theie can be no doubt, but in what way and how* is a matter as yet to be developed. As to the matter of increasing the revenues of the State there are already several biils in the course of preparation having this object in view and no doubt something will be done along this line out of which will evolve practical benefits to the (i,0 sUutn Tn this con JJtUJ'iC Ul 11". > nection we respectfully submit th.it a semi annual collection of taxes would obviate the necessity of the State and counties borrowing money or overdrawing their bank accounts ftud at the same time save consider able money, which is now levied to pay the interest on boriowcd money. There is widespread complaint about the euiubersoineness and ex travagance of our present system of county gover nment, and an effort will doubtless be made to relieve it of its costly features, or to repeal the law iu its entinty and a simpler and less expensive system adopted. The necessity of a law requiring the friends of a proposed newcouuty to deposit with the State Treasurer a sum sufficient to cover all expenses for holding such an election before the Governor shall issue his proclamation ordering such. As the law now is it makes it compulsory upon the Governor to order an election whenever lie is convinced that all of the provisions of the law have been fully complied with, but makes no provision for the payment of the expenses incurred in holding the election. I The stockholders of the Prosperity * Advertiser have sold their stock in that paper to Mr. Thornwell Haynes, who will continue its publication. Mr. Dave H. Witherspoon,the fonner Editor and publisher will have charge of the mechanical department of the paper. Gen. Johnson Hagood died at his home in Barnwell yesterday afternoon.

After a short illness, on Dec. 22, 1807, Mrs. Sarah Aun Bailey, the widow of Kev. J. H. Bailey. of the j Kv. Lutli. .Synod of S. 0, peacefully j passed from the Church on artli to the Church above. Her pilgrimage on earth was 71 years, 1 month and (> days. She was given to the Lord iu infancy by the holy rite of baptism and at an tally age ratified her baptismal to'cnant by connecting herself with Nazareth Kv. Luthern church. Lexington county. S. C.. and remained a consistent member of the same up to the day of her death. During her sickness not a murmur was heard to pass from her pure lips. Her hope and confidence was in the Lord. On March o. 1S4(>, she was marlied to Kev. J. H. Bailey, and during this happy uuiou they were blessed with six children, five sons and ore daughter. All of whom suivive her. She also leaves two brothers, ot.e sister and a large concourse of rela tives and friends to mourn her departure. She was a devoted com pauion, a loving mother and a kind neighbor. To know her, was to love her. Her place in the home and in the church can never be tilled: but what wf li:iv<> lost in her dcnait.me is her gain.

('apt Kooli h is the chain ?^:ii g stiii at woi k raising the causeway ; t i Keunciley's bruise above high water j maik and will be there about a month j longer. This place has for sometime j been a dread to the people of that J neighborhood, whose business j made it necessary for them to j cross the creek at that point. ! especially so in times of freshets 1 when the back water oveiHowed the j road. At 110 time under the old ! system of woi king the roads has j this place been put in a passable eon- i diiion during a full creek, nor could , it have been except at an enormous j cost to the road hands. Under Unchain gang system the road at this point will be protected from over j Hows, put in a permanent good con- i ditioii at little or no cost to the tax j payers of the county. The present condition of this road , clearly and practically demonstrates j the superiority of the chain gang system of working the public loads over the old system aud is an evidence of the wisdom of the present County Board of Cmunihsionors in retaining J the system. Death cf Mrs Decia Drafts. Silently the- dark wings of the [ death angel overshadowed the peace- j fill and hyppy home of our fellow j oilmen, Mr. S I\ Drafts, at Lewie j dale; lust Wednesday, and bore til*1 j gentle spirit of Mrs. Deeia Draf . j from earthly tabanucle to that tab- j nacle. not made with bands, eteruul j in the heavens. Although a sufferer J from heart trouble a long number of ! years, her death was unexpected and ' the blow fell upon the stricken family so suddenly that it could hardly be realized that the spirit of the loving j wife and affectionate mother had ceas- j I Cil to exist on earth ami hail entered ! the peaily gales of the city of jasper j where sorrow ami sickness are mi- j known. In her home ciicle Mrs. Drafts was | the idol of husband and children: in her Christian duties she was energetic j ami faithful adorning the doctrine of j the meek and lowly Xazirene by her ! implicit faith in Lis promises of a life j and immortality beyoud the narrow ; confines of the grave, in the perform- | ance of good works that she might | win that crown of lightcousness that > awaited her upon the shore of . eternity. As a neighbor and fiiend she was steadfast and firm and true i to those who trusted in her. The immediate cause of her death ' was ihcumatism of the heart, but for her the sting of death had no pair, ! in a few moments all mortal suf- 1 C ' ' firings were over. Her funeral services were held in the Lutheran chuich at Summit ; Tlinrsiltiv liv tlmltpv Iv Tj Lvhraild. and the earthly remains of a noble. pure and good woman, were laid away to await that time when the Master is to come to make up bis i jewels. A large number of sorrowing relatives and friends witnessed the interment. Eoard cf Commissioners. The County hoard of Commissioners was in session for two days this week. On Monday only routine business was transacted such as approving claims and issuing cheeks and looking after the count \*s buri ntss in general.
