In the Senate?Mr. Love got a favorable report on a bill to raise the commutation road tax iu York county from $1 to $2. The concurrent resolution to fix the day for the election of penitentiary officers was amended hy the insertiou of Friday, January 26, and returned to the house. A number of other bills, which will be explained as they appear to develop in importance, were introduced. SATURDAY. JANUARY 16. In the House?Among the more important new bills introduced were the following: By Mr. deLoach : To change the bouudaries of Broad River township. The object of this bill is to keep that portion of Cherokee township which does not desire to become a part of the new couuty of Cherokee, in York county. Mr. Caughmau iutroduced the aunual hill to require railroads to provide separate cars for white and colored passengers. Mr. Toole introduced a bill providing that the qualified voters of each school district may elect their own school trustees, the voting to take place at precincts designated by the county superintendent of education. Arrangements were perfected for the inauguration of the new governor and lieuteuant governor to take place on Monday. In the Senate?This body was uot in session during the day. monday, january 18. In joint assembly?The two houses spent most of the day in joint assembly on account of the iuauguration ceremonies, and but little other business of public importance was transacted. tuesday, january 19. This being a legal holiday in commemoration of the birth of Robert E. Lee, neither house was in sessiou. GOVERNOR W. H. ELLERBE. 'He Took the Kelnti of Office on La?t Monday. The inauguration of Governor Ellerbe took place in the state capitol on last Mouday with the usual ceremonies, in the presence of the largest crowd that has assembled on a similar occasion since 1876, the only exceptions being the inauguration of Wade Hampton and B. R. Tillman. Aftt-r nrnver hv Rev. Dr. Evans of t" " - %f Columbia, Chief Justice Mclver administered the oath of office, and Governor Ellerbe delivered his inaugural address, laying down the policy he proposes to pursue as governor. At the outset, he said that he was untrameled by pledges inconsistent with the welfare of the people, aud it would be his highest ambition to dis charge the dutiesof his office faithfully and impartially. He promised to do all he can by all worthy ineaus, to.lighten the burdens of taxatiou ; to develop the resources of the state; to protect the industries of her citizens ; to encourage immigration of the right sort; to foster our institutions of learning; to increase the facilities for educatiou, and to sustain penal, charitable aud other proper institutions. Referring to the dispensary, he said that he was at first opposed to that institution. He had been convinced, however, that it was the best method that had ever been devised for the control of the liquor traffic, and was far better than any license system. He was for prohibition, if such a thing were possible; but it is impossible, and, therefore, not to be thought of. There are weak places in the dispensary system, but they can be strengthened ; and as for the profit feature, that is qnly a secondary consideration. The balance of the address was devoted to the public school question, and there the new governor clearly announced it as his policy to do all that may lay in his power for the development of all the interests of education, whether under the auspices of Church or State. In conclusion, lie said : "Fellow Citizens: The political campaign of 18U6 is over. You have honored me as few men iu South Carolina have ever been honored, and far more richly than I deserve. You gave me, I say it iu no spirit of vain glory or of boasting, but in profound appreciation of the honor bestowed, you gave me, in the Democratic primary, the largest majority ever given a candidate for governor. Both factions of the Democratic party, as the vote cast indicates, gave me warm and enthusiastic support, necessarily such as could not have been given to auy factional candidate. "My constant anxiety shall he, not to prove unworthy of your confidence. "I am your governor, the governor of the whole people. Our interests are mutual. It will he base and treacherous and ungrateful on my part, and uuwise and unpatriotic on your part, longer to fan the fires of partisan hatred. On questious of public policy we cannot all agree ; but when issues are settled at the ballot box, we cau and ought to submit to the will of the majority honestly expressed. "I beseech you to resolve, on this occasion, to bury all factional feelings, and to join bauds and hearts in your efforts to develop the resources of out beloved state, to build up her institutions, to promote her every interest. In assuming my official duties, I pledge you my best services. With all my strength of head and heart, I shall labor for the common weal, and, in my official capacity, shall treat both friend and foe with equal consideration. I rid myself of all sectional and partisan feelings and hail you ull as Carolinians. I love my native state. I love her people. "I am prpud of her grand and iu- . spiring history ; of the names of her Wf illustrious sons; of the thousands of her honored dead who sleep upon an( every great battlefield of their conntry. I rejoice in the hope our future j inspires, in the patriotism of our ? young manhood and in the self-sacrificing devotion of our young wornaubood." At the conclusion of his remarks, , Governor Etlerbe was greeted with lgg long aud hearty applause. NO N1GUEK IN THE WOODPILE. j Dr. Hlack Explains Tliut Tlic Enquirer 1h a')' Unnecessarily Alarmed. r Editor Enquirer : I fear that in your . editorial in your last issue on the subject E;11 of theproposed new county of Cherokee, *r you seem to be in a state of mind utterly * unwarranted by the facts. As I was chairman of the committee | which was appointed to draft this bill, n k I desire to make an explanation of one or two points which you make. gt} In reference to transferring pending litigation, the bill provides that all litigation pending shall be transferred upon 1 < demand of the clerk of the court of the g ^ now county. The bill provides that this officer shall not be elected until the sec- . ond Saturday in August next, and it will be the fall term before any transfer is 1 made. How can this "be loaded ?" Rc In regard to section 12, relating to townships, which you seem to think lias dyna mite in it, is as innocent as it appears to be. The object, and only object, in providing against a change of boundaries in gT Cherokee township in York county, and Gowdeysvilleand Draytonville townships . 1 in Union county, was to preserve these j* j townships as corporate bodies intact on Qfi account of bonded indebtedness due by tin them for railroad purposes. A careful HI reading of the bill shows that this prohi- pv< bition extends only to the board of connty commissioners of Cherokee county. ?; How can this interfere in any way with mj the legislature giving relief to our friends D. of Southern Cherokee who may wish to be left in York county? No dynamite js here. ?. In regard to salaries, they are fixed in Hi the bill as a majority of the people in con- am v en tion assembled wished, and are based st?! upon salaries paid in Saluda county. It appears to me, Mr. Editor, that you are unnecessarily alarmed. We do not wish to do the old county any harm, and we could not if we would. I love the old ? county, and only agreed to leave it when I became satisfied that it would, sooner or j later, be divided. This is a new era in the history of our the state. New things are taking place, and ow the staid, sober old Exquirkr must get nnmistnmed to the new order of things wo and not see a "nigger in the woodpile" pat every time something new is about to be started up. Your advice to York county's repre- jjjs sentatives to "keep their eyes skinned" is good advice at all times; but we of ton Cherokee were of the opinion that they mj were as yet our representatives, too, and as much bound to look after our interests do too. Think the matter over again, and you will feel better about it. Let us part kindly and give us your blessing. mo J. G. Black. pri( Blacksburg, January 18,1897.

[F you have taken out a life insurance policy in an Old Line high price "level iremium" company with the idea that rou would at sometime in the future, fhileyou yet drew the breath of life, reeive substantial cash returns or "big ividends," we are here to tell you that on will be disappointed. Your policy r-ill prove a snare and a delusion. It is 11 right for protection for your wife and hildren, as they will receive the face of be nolicy in case of your death, as they ronld also in a company that charges ou half as much. A life insurance poliy is a fraud as an investment for a living lan, and is the greatest blessing of which re or anybody else has any knowledge s a means of protecting the widow and rpbans, after the breadwinner has been emoved by death. If You Will Lay Aside Your Prejudice lND COME to us with a desire to earn why it is not to your interest- to arry high priced insurance, and how we an furnish you just as safe insurance ir at least 40 per cent, a year less than the ther costs, we are sure we can show you i your satisfaction that the MUTUAL LESERVE FUND LIFE ASSOCIATON of New York does business on a lan that is absolutely safe, and will pro ?ct your loved ones even better^ than ley now are, at even a greater cost to > yon. Of course if yon are too prejuiced to investigate and imagine that the igh price you are now paying makes our insurance better or safer, or better ban it would be at less cost, we can't do nything for yon ; but will be forced to it you go on until time, the crucial later, convinces you, against your will, aat you have been deceived. If You Have No Insurance, md think you should have, we would be leased to explain the Mutual Reserve ystem to you. The Mutual Reserve is be largest and strongest natural premim company in the world, and the fourth irgest of ANY KIND. It has paid bout $o50,000 to the widows and orphans f deceased policy-holders in South Carna alone, miring the past twelve years, nd if all the insurance now carried in Ul line comnaniesin the state was in the lutual Reserve, not less than 8400,000, 'hich now annually goes into the coffers f the former, would be left in the state ) help relieve the hard times about which e hear so much.
