LEGISLATURE HAS ADJOURNED. Special to thc Intelligencer. COLUMBIA, S. C., Feb. 22-10 a. ni. The Legislature adjourned sine die last night. The principal building of the Globe Fertilizer Company was bumed to the ground between 2 and 4 o'clock this morning. Loss about $150,000. In sured. L. E. NORRYCE. If there is anything in a good crop year followiug a cold winter the pros pect is unusually bright for a line crop in 1899._ Things aro warming up more and more in the camp of monopoly. A tire brick trust is the latest addition to the trust forces. The papers throughout the country are berating lobbyists. If there were no dishonest legislators there would be DO lobbyists. There is one good sign that the coun try has touched bottom. Less property is now being sold under legal process than at this season for 3rears. Cotton statisticians are moderating their high estimates of the crop of 1898. Theyjare generally agreed that it will jnot exceed ten and a half million bales when all the returns arc in. The conditions in Cuba and Porto Eico are rapidly improving under the government of this country, and those islands are entering on a season of prosperity such as they have never known. Let the farmer first plant an abun dance of food crops for man and beast, and then go ahead and raise all the cotton he pleases; but let there be no mistake about there being a sufficient acreage in food crops. A number of soldiers who were in Santiago in July', says a New York paper, have secured jobs up the Hud son cutting ice. And decayed Europe talks of whipping men who thus spend their summers and winters. European newspapers predict a long war, costly in expenditure of life and money, before the United States shall finally subjugate, the Filipinos. They know from the experiences of their own governments the difficulties of carry ing on foreign wars. The worst commissar}- supplies the government furnished the volunteer army were the cooks. What those cooks could not spoil the elements would not waste their energies on. We trust the government will in future protect the army from bad cooks. The appropriation of looney from the United States Treasury for the main tenance of sectarian schools among the Indians has become offensive to the people of this country. Since the year 1S94 the amount appropriated for such purposes has-been steadily decreased till now, in tho present appropriation bill, there is no provision for thc pay ment of any money to sectarian schools.. Revised statistics of Government revenue and expenditure for the last fiscal year are given in the annual re port of the Treasurer of the United States submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, lt appears from the lig ures given that the net ordinary reve nues amounted to $405,321,335, an in crease of $57,597,030 over those of thc preceding year, while the net ordinary expenditures amounted to $443,3G8,5$2, an increase of S77,?U4,42:;. The deficit for the year amounted to .>'?.'S/M7,247, which was over $18,000,000 in excess ot that for the year preceding. Did you ever sell a person an article, or several articles, on credit, and, af ter having waited six mouths or a year for your money, try to collect the bill and find that the person imagined the debt paid "long ago?" Did you ever "run up against" the man who "paid you the money on the street and you must have forgotten to mark it off the hook.'" Did you ever credit apersou fora long period of time and notice when lu; finally did let you have your money, that he did so grudgingly and with the air ot' a man who was confer ring a great favor.' Do people as a rule consider that you do them a favor when you sell them goods and wait tor several months for your money t I >oes thc credit system pay.' - M ? mt The Baltimore Sun gives the com-j plexionof the Senate for the fifty-sixth Congress, which shows that ?d' the thirty new members only eight are Democrats. There will he one sil veri tc and twenty-one Republicans. Adding these to tin- hold-over Senators th<- lie publicans will have fifty-four ami the Democrats twenty seven, jusl hal fas many, the Populists four, silver Repub licans two and (me Independent. <>? the twenty seven Democrats twenty three are from Southern States and the Vest from the Rocky .Mountains. There will liol be one D?mocratie Senator from either the New England or Middle States or the great States of the Middle West-not ?nie Senator From north of rhe Potomac.

Special Correspondence of Intelligencer. COLUMBIA, S. C., Feh. 20, 1890. The General Assembly is rounding up its work for adjournment, which can take place to-morrow night, but which will probably not toke place be fore Friday or Saturday. It depends very largely upon the condition of the Governor, who is still confined to his room, and may not be well enough to examine and approve the large number of bills now ready for his signature. Should adjournment take place before these Acts are approved, and, from any cause, they arc neither vetoed nor ap proved, they would not have the force of law until the next General Assembly meets and has been in session three days. If, however, the General Assem bly now being held continues in ses sion beyond three days after bills have been ratified by the Senate and House they become laws without the Govern or's signature, if not vetoed by him. Besides there are several important measures, engineered by some of the newly initiated members, which should pass, and, as an act of courtesy, the older members, though through with their Work, will not insist upon imme diate adjournment. The greater part ol* last week was taken up in both houses by discussions on the liquor question, and there was a great surprise in store for those who had planned and hoped to see the State dispensary carved up and divided be tween the various counties. It soon developed, particularly in the House, that agitation does not always mean dissatisfaction of the majority. As soon as a vote was reached, which came first on the Prince prohibition bill, it was seen that the State Dispensary had an overwhelming majority, and the twelve or more measures making in roads upon this great institution, were killed just as fast as they came up, or were indefinitely postponed. The only thing left is the Archer Senate bill, which is now locked up in the House, and will probably never be heard of again. It is true that a bill passed the House last Thursday by a decisive vote of 74 to 24 denying the State Board the right to grant hotel and beer privi leges, and the Jackson bill prohibiting the further desecration of the palmetto tree, the emblem of the State, by hav a facsimile blown into bottles or used on labels, also passed, but this Legis lature is loyal, and very decidedly so, to the State Dispensary. If the voters of the State desire to see a change in the State Dispensary system, they will be forced to make it an issue in thc next campaign. Governor Sheppard, in his able address in the Senate on the subject of submitting the question to the x)eople. among other things said : "I believe that the more it is let alone the more plainly it will demonstrate that in its continued existence in this State, failure will crown its efforts and disaster will overtake those who dabble in it." He refened to agitation in the Legislature; he believes the people should be allowed to express theil wishes through their ballots. There was no session of the Legisla ture Monday. Both the Senate and House met, but remained in session only a short time. The Senate ad journed because of the intense cold ?md the inability of the State House engi neer to heat the building, owing to frozen water pipes, and the House ad journed as :i mark of respect tn the deceased assistant clerk, .Mr. Cason. Tile Senate reconvened at '?> o'clock, but finding the building liad not been heated, adjourned. The House reas sembled nt 8 o'clock but could not stand the cold and adjourned also. (?nile an interesting question was raised in the House touching the proper construction of Section UL Anide io. page -I*, ol tin- Constitution, ll is claimed thal according to the above provision the General Assembly has nothing whatever to do with the levy of tuxes foi- County purposes, but that the County Commissioners ure required to make the levy. It might be well for our Commissioners to look into this matter. The General Assembly has gone ahead making the levy, bur with the understanding that it does not in terfer?' with the rights of the Commis sioners to make the levy if they really have that right. The Legislature does not, by making the levy, mean to con- J Strue the meaning of the Constitution. They aie giving the Commissioners a guide only, and the commissioners should ratify the actions of the Legis lature in order to offset any claim of exemption on the ground of illegal levy. A Sunday law luis buen passed to prohibit corporations working their employees in machine shops on Sun day. The compulsory vaccination bill has also'passed. The rumors charging irregularities in the" management ami condition of the State penitentiary have resulted in the introduction by .Mr. Stephenson, of Chesterfield, ol' a tesolution providing foran investigation, by a joint com mittee of both Houses, ol' the rumors ami charges, and the r?solution lias passed both the Senate ami House. Thc join! committee will probably be named to-day. The friends of thc .Su perintendent were very positive in theil demands for the adoption of thc reso lution. Thc Senate undertook lo limit the expense .-ii' investigation to $200, bm this was voted down and I he-mut ter Of expense left open. The ? louse had ! he clerks in t he en j grossing* department trembling one day last week.

No. 1113, United Confederare Veterans, on Saturday, March nth, at 2 o'clock p. m. 1). J. SHERARD, Commander. Trinity Doings. The cold wave seems to have passed, and as we sit in the beautiful sunshine this beautiful morning our thoughts run back to the pleasures of Spring, and we are made to long for the sweet breeze of the May morn, when the birds will be singing and the plow-boy whistling, and when everybody seems to be happy and content. The farmers are getting behind with their work, and it looks as though the ones who have their oats to sow will have to wait until next Fall, for it is getting rather late. A few of our young people enjoyed themselves at a sociable at the resi dence o? Mr. John McDaniel last Sat urday night. It was rather late when youl" correspondent arrived, but it seemed that all were enjoying them selves line. Some of the boys got a kiss, while others got "stuck up" with mo lasses. Be careful next time, boys, and don't be so anxious to get the tin plate. Mr. .lohn McClellan has just com pleted a nice and useful cotton-house and granary for Mr. P. H. Brown, .lohn is a good workman, and it seems Mr. Brown is thinking of the future. Miss Carrie Duckworth, one of our most attractive young ladies, accompa nied by Mr. Foster Martin, one of our "bashful"' boys, spent Sunday near Belton. They reported a muddy road but a pleasant drive. Mr. Claude Harris, who had the mis fortune to get shot some time/ago, is getting along tine, and it will soon be a thing of the past. We are requested to say that there will he prayer-meeting at the church on Sunday night, beginning at half past seven o'clock. Let everybody at tend. Why can't there be a meeting there as there used to be ? As the school-bell is ringing and wc don't, know our Algebra we will say good-bye for this time. SCHOOL BOV. - mm m> mm Denver Notes.

PAUL E. STEPKENS. THE WINDS BLOW ! The Rains descend, the Times and the Weather hang heavy, like a mill-stone, about the neck of Competition. . ... With the last days of the ever-to-be-remembered 181)8 many a weary heart dropped out of the race for fortune through mercantile channels, and many more will drag through the length of 1800 with heavy heart and weary limb. Many have been the restless nights spent rolling and tossing on their pillows, grief-stricken because success shines not upon their pathway, but While time and tide are sweeping aside Many who struggle for name, There's one still rides rough-shod o'er the tides, And grasps both fortune and fame. \ es, we propose now to begin the work of stamping our name in match less splendor on the spotless page of 1899.
