At the meeting of the special quar antine committee of the board of heath of Charleston on Friday it was decided to order off all excursions, the week end excursions as well as the special excursions, and hereafter travelers will be brought to Charleston only on the regular trains, when provided with the prescribed certificates, in accordance with the proclamation af v, ayor Rhett. The board of health called off the At lanta, Macon and Greenville excursions a week ago on account of the lax pro visions regarding the travel of refugees from the infected points and the mat ter of the excursions from other points was deferred for future consideration. The health authorities have now exam ined into the situation, and the inves tigation has shown a loose way of issu ing certificates, and the quarantine committee decided that the same rule apply generally, as to the particular excursion,and the order was accord- ingly prepared and dispatched to the railroads.

The Atlantic States Warehouse Com pany has been organized in Augusta, Ga., and is now constructing three warehouse, each having 16 compart ments and each compartment of di mensions to hold 1,000 bales of cotton on end, making storage for 48,000 bales. These warehouses will be rented to the cotton factors or to the mills to store goods Inman & Co. have al ready engaged 22 sections. At Montgomery, Ala., Messrs Marks it Gall have put up some warehouses of all concrete walls, floors and roofs. This is the ferro-concrete construction A Rather Compromising Proposition In the course of his speech at Edge- field on the 5th inst., Senator Tillman said : ’‘It is a much greater question for the people of South Carolina to settle how they shall wisely and best govern the sale of liquor t han whether I or some one else represents them in the senate.” Is this really and truly the Senator’s highest conception of the people’s needs? For all the seeming innocence with which his estimate of the people of this State is set forth we feel obliged to differ with him. In Aiken, for instance, we have heard on good au thority that seven-eighths of the liquor sold by the dispensary is sold to negroes. It may not be far wrong to say it is equally true in most places.
