The general opinion is, that the dispensary law will not be handled much at the present session; a large number of the representatives are disposed to let the quebtion alone, as under its present management the law is working satisfactorily. A few amendments may be made, and the recommendation of the State board to abolish what is known as "Hotel privileges" will no doubt receive serious attention,.but the main feat will remain as they are. The ee~tisionl of the United States Sapreme~ court has given the opposi tion to the law, but a small morsel of consolation, althou~gh when the announcement was first made, they appeared much gratified. The Co lumbia State realized at once the effects of decision and immediately advised its readers to ,give the dis -pensaryte "boycott" and thereby starve it out. The opponents of the dispensary law seem to think they *are the people who make or unmake the affairs of this State and with all of the experience of the past they still think so. The class who will be advised by the State, are the ones who made it necessary for the em ployment of State constables. They either run blind tigers, or patronize them; they are a class that never did patronize the dispensary and the liquor they bought was smuggled from abroad. Now that they can have it brought in for "personal use," the constables will have to keep their weather eyes open to ascertain -what *is meant by "personal use." If it is supposed that the United States courts will piotect a man who gets liquor from abroad to violate the laws of this State, it is a mistake, because *in the decision of Judge Simonton it is clearly intimated that liquor shipped in must be for personal use and not for sale; that when it is shown to be other than for personal use, it is a violation of the State lawv and an offender will be punished ac -cordingly. PATTON'S PLAN REVEALED. When the motion was made in the legislature last week to appoint a committee to draught a bill for the -re-districting the State in accordance with Mr. Patton's idea, and the same received such a cold reception, we ad hope the thing was dead beyond ressurection, but we find ourselves mistaken. The author of the bill is wedded to his idea and with all the persistance of his nature he will push the measure to a finish. WVhen we opposed the plan of re-districting, in our last issue we did not know what Mr. Patton's scheme was, but on general principles we opposed :ghe tinkering with the Congressional dis triets until the United States Su preme court settles for all time the validity of our registration and elec tion laws; we cannot understand the reason for a change of congressional lines at a time when nearly every Congressman from tbis State has a contest on his hands for an over whelming Republican majority to de cide. Mr. Patton has at last pre sented his pet measure, and now that we know his scheme, we are farther from favoring it than we were before the plan was revealed. The sixth congressional district, conisin of Chesterfild, Marlboro, Clarendon and part of Williamsburg has given us a Democratic represen tatives for years and as it stands we believe we have a safe white majority, notwithstanding the few white rene gades which bobbed up in Darling ton at the last election. Then why chop Clarendon off from a safe white district and add her to a district which is very questiobably close, with a number of white Republicans to lead their forces? We do not want to go, and we urge our representa tives to fight the Patton bill with all of their energy. The proposed plan is as follows: 1. Pee Dee District -Chasterfild, Marl boro, Darlington, Florence, Marion, Hor ry. 2. Santee District-Georgetown, Wil liansburg, Charleston, Berkeley and Dor chester. 3 Edisto District-Orangeburg,Barnwell. Colleton, Hampton and Beaufort. 4 Wateree District-Fairfield, Kershaw, Richland, Sumter and Clarendon. 5. Saluda District-Laurens, Greenwood, Newberry, Saluda, Lexington, Aiken. 6. - Northern Districts-Spartauburg, Cherokee, Union, York, Chester and Lan caster. 7. Peidmont District-Abbeville, Ander son, Greenvill3 an - Oconee. The communica, n of Mr. A. Plumer Burgess, in another. column is a defense of Col. H. R. Thomas' po sition, in the matter of fertilizer rates and it takes issue with our editorial of last week. It was not our purpose to array the people against Mr. Thom as as our correspondent seems to think; we regard M Thomerf competat-, eca. owever we think he has made a great mistake in running to the news papers with charges of improper motives against his collegues because theyl saw fit to vote for a reduction of the fertilizer rates. Had Mr. Thomas voted against the reduction and thus placed himself on record, the people would have given him credit for sincerity, but when he undertook to condemn his collegues in the newspapers we be lieve it fell upon unsympathizing ears. The people do not want the railroads to be unjustly treated, at the same time they fell, that as all ag ricultural products have fallen in vale the freight rates should be -lowered acco:dingly, and when Mr. Thomas undertakes to prevent the I people from getting this benefit he will be looked upon as a creature of the railroads instead of the people who placed him in his present posi tion. Mr. Thomas may be right in oppos ing the freight reduction but the majority of the commission have the same facilities for gathering informa tion that he hus, and they are sup posed to be fully as competant to judge; they claim the reduced rate is not unjust and they cite the rates of North Carolina and Georgia to sus tain their action. We would like to answer Mr. Burgess fully and devote more space to his article as there are several thing tnat deserves :.com ment from us but on account of sick ness on our force we can not do so. THE STATE KICKS. Just think of it, the representatives of Richland county have recommend ed to Governor Ellerbe certain names for appointment to the office of mnag istrate for Columbia, and their recom mendation is meeting with the dis approval, and censure of the Colum bia State. Now, these gentlemen were only elected by the people of Richland, and why they should take the bits in their mouths and recom mend magistrates without consulting the distinguished editor of the State, we cannot understand. He is per fetly right in giving the delegation a piece of his mind and hehas not hes itated to do so. Of course, the dele gatio~n imagine they have the right to use their best judgement for Co lumbia's interests, but when the State as finished with them, Sloan,Patton, Reynolds and others will have to sneak out of the city when the elec tric lights are out of fix, and dark ness has taken possession of the "head centre of devilment." The State has also put its foot down on a repetiion of such conduct and has given notice to take away from the delegation the privilege of mak.ing recommendations by putting the mat ter in a primary. If the primary elects men to the liking of the State, the thing must ste~nd, because the participants will be bound in honor; but should the nominees be unfortu nate enough to have the dislike of the State, then what? BLOCKADE CHARLESTON. The secretary of the navy has or dered a part of the naal fleet to Charleston for the purpose of instruc tion. They propose about the early part of next month to blockade Char leston and go through the practice of blockade warfare. It will be an in teresting sight and we hope the rail roads will catch the spirit of the oc cassion by, giving cheap excursion rates to draw large crowds to see a sight that- perhaps they will never have an opportunity of seeing again. The Young Men's Business League should take this matter in hand and see to it that every facility and in ducement is offered to draw the crowds and for their entertainment. In our opinion, the blockading of the city will draw fully .as well as gala week if inducing rail road rates can be procured. The recent dispensary decision affecting the importation of liquor into the State has brought forth Sen ator Tillman with the introduction of a bill in the United States Senate, which if it is passes will reverse the decision recently made, and will knock the "personal use" obstacle in to smithereens. The only way any State can get prohibition is through Congress, and the bill proposed by our Senior senator is the iniative step. Should his measure become a law and we do not see why it should not because, in a republican form of gov ernment like ours, every State ought to have an exclusive right to man age its own affairs, then, with the out side obstacles removed a prohibitory law can be enforced. The dispensary law will be restricted more and more until the people are educated up to, and are ready to have prohibition. Senator Tillman's bill provides: "That all fermented, distilled or other in toxicating liquors or liquids transported into any State or Territory, or remaining therein for use, consumption, sale or stor age therein shall upon ainval within the limits of said State or Territory be subject to the operation and effect of the laws of such State or Territory enacted for the con trol and policing of the liquor truc, ab solutely, to the same extent and in the same manner as though such liquors or liquids had been produced in such State or Ter ritory, and shall not be exe i pt therefrom by reason of being introduced therein in original packages for private use or other wise, and such States shall have absolute control of such liquois or liquids within their borders. Zjy whomsoever produced and for - e nniported: Provided, tnothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting the internal revenue laws." The General Assembly in re-elect ing Col. W. A. Neal superintendent of the State peniteitiary without op position, not only showed their ap preciation of hi; efficiency as a pub lic servant, but they added strong testimony to his character qs a man. They also by their unanimous vote approved the finding of the commit tee who were called upon to investi gate the management of the peniten tiary, and doubly exonerated him from the malignant charges made against him. Col. Neal has made a good officer and we hope that his coming term will be a still greater success than was his past. As yet we have been unable to see the good accomplished by the Legis lature. The members assemble at ten o'clock in the morning, t. few bills are introduced, there is scme speech-making, and then comes te adjournment for the day. At the rate they are working now, the final adjournment may take place in time for the members to get home to cele brate the signing of the indepen dence declaration. 41 i Judges Ernest Gary and D. A. Townsend were re-elected without opposition. There never was any prospect for opposition. to Judge Gary, but in the case of Judge Towvn send, the name of Senator Mower, of Newberry, was frequently m entionedi. Many merchants are well aware that their customers are their best friends and take pleasure in supplying them with the best goods obtainable. As an instance we men tion Perry & Cameron, prominent drug gists of Flushing, Michigan. They say: "We have no hesitation in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to our cus tomers, as it is the best cough medicine we have ever sold1, and always gives satis faction."

For a pain in the chest a piece of flan nel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain alm and bound on over the seat of the pain, and another on the back betwecn the shoulders, will afford prompt relief.

Mr. Pritchard's Success May Unseat Judge Black. - Pritchard's victory in North Caro lina, says the Washington correspon dent of the Atlanta Constitution, may bring sensational developments in Tom Watson's case. There is strong evidence to indicate that Watson is to benefit by the Republican victory, and if the plans of the Republican leaders can be put througb, Major Black will be unseated. One of it first men in Washing ton to rece:' . the news of Pritchard's victory was General W. W. Dudley, he of "block of five" fame. General Dudley is the most prom inent attorney in the United States in these contest cases before Con gress, and is one of Watson's counsel. As soon as he heard of the North Carolina result he made the declara tion "That will fix our man Watson all right." Dudley usually knows what he is talking about. He is in reality an at torney for the Republican party be fore Congress and he enjoys the full confidence of the Republican leaders. It has been charged that he wvas tak ing an active interest in Pritchard's election and that through him the Watson and other Populist influences have been pulled to Pritchard's sup port. Howv far this may be true I do not know, but I do know that he ex pressed supr-eme entidence in a I a vorable report for Watson as one of the results of the North Carolina Re publican victory. Further than this, it is a fact that the Watson case was postponed until the 26th by the elections committee at the instance of Linney of North Carolina. Linney is a Repuplican and a member of the committee. He, too has been working for Pritch ard, and he made the declaration that it would be to Watson's interest to have Pritchard elected. Another circumstance bearing out the idea of collusion between Popu lists and Republicans as asserted con cerning thle Watson case, is a confer ence which Colonel Bill Glenn had to-day with Dudley. Dudlev and Glenn are associated in the Watson case. They met to day in the Senate restaurant. Dud lev told Glenn of the Pritchard vic tory, adding: "That fixes our maii all right." Afterwards Glenn had a conference with Dudley and while the Atlanta man would not tell what passed, it was very plain that he was much elated. He, too, made the declara tion "That will, I believe, fix Watson all right." So it looks as if the cards might be coming Tom's way, so far as the elections committee is concerned. Should the report be favorable to im it will precipitate one of the prettiest fights of the session. Wat son s case is a very weak one and it is difficult to believe that honest Re publicans will vote to uuseat a fellow member on such testimony. COL. H. R. THOMAS DEFENDED. Summerton, S. C., Jan. 25, 1897. Editor MIanning Times, Dear Sir:-You and I had a little falling out some time ago, and you said to me on a visit here since, that if you had had a little more time vou wonld have "roasted" me a little. However, all that may be, I will ask yog to allowma a little space to an swer your editorial in the last issue of the Times. "Tell your troubles to the polic." In it you take sides in the railroad rate war, ugainst Com missioner H. R. Thomas. Now I Lave not read all the different com munications and explanations given out by the commissioners, and could not understand them if .1 were to do it, but the gist of the matier seems to be that the commissicn with the ex ception of M1r. Thomas seems de termined to reduce freight rates on fertilizers, below what Mr. Thomas thinks is justifiable, in order to give the railroads a fair showing. Now in regard to Mr. Thomas you say: "It matters not whether he is right or wrong, the fact that he com plains of hisbrother commissioners lowering the rates on fertilizers is suf ficient to turn the people who are to be benefitted against him." Then you go on to say that "the people do not care whether the railroads fnake money or not." Now is this fair either to Mr. Thomas, the railroads, or the people? You are plainly en deavoring to array the people against Mr. Thomas, and hardly any public man has had more adverse criticism than he. You make it appear thit promises to the people are a necessity for saccessful canvas for office. It would seem that the balance of the commission were catering for votes and Mr. Thomas was not. I admire the independence of the man, and hope he will be put back when his time is out. Now Mr. Editor, I am no great friend of corporations, and in fact I incurred the ill will of our railroad people over here some months ago, when Ijoined with others to try and get the C. S. & N people to do what they promised to do when they ob tained their charter, you will remem ber that you spoke rather slightingly of the effort and of those who werd in terested in it. We did not ask them, to do anything but what they prom ised. We held that if they could not do that then let them sell out to those who would. You can shut down The Manning Times wvhen you please, you are un der obligations to nobody. Suppose your subscribers say that 75c. is enough for its subscription price. You say you cant do it for that and quit, and no one can say anything. Now it'I understand the law correct ly, railroads in getting charters must make promises to run trains to ac commodate the public and provide for its convenience in such and such manner. To do this they establish rates of freight, In order that the rates shall be just, the state provides a commission to either approve these rates, or make just ones. Every man must make a profit on his investment, railroads must make theirs. As a matter of fact the rail roads are not making much money. If they are cut dlown to bare expen ses, then they are running at a loss they have no profits from which to repair unhooked for accidents, and the investment is a dead loss. Yet they are forc'ed by the state to keep their trains running. A feature of the case wve should not overlook, and one that makes it very ditferent from a private enter prise run without patronage fromn the State. I want cheap rates too, just as cheap as they can be made, but I would not ask the railroads to haul for me at a loss. When we are not, willing for them to make a profit then we should haul as our fore fathers did. You as good as tell the people to vot~for the men wvho promise the most, and "don't care whether the railroads make any money or not." I believe you misrepresent the peo pe, when you make this assertion. It is bad politics, to put these ideas into the peoples heads. and you ought not to array themagainst a pub li oficial in the manner you do. As a matter of fact the Tillman adminis tration went into power on the strength of its promises, promises among which was the one to reduce taxes. They found that the taxes could not be materially reduced and 'the expenses of existing and proposed institutions met. Mr. Ellerbe says that if we wvant to enjoy the highest civilization we must be willing to be .taxed in order to get it. So if we want the benefits of a railroad ser vice we must pay for it. Do not teach the people to vote for the promising candidate, but for the one who is capable of performing the duties of the office, and who is not a friend to have an opinion and to ex press it, though he be in the minority. The News and Courier while not afraid of Mr. Thomas has said that "however wrong he may be he attends strictly to his business as a railroad Commissioner." I do not remember it saing so much for the others. "Le and let live" is a good motto. Yours very truly, PACKSVILLE NEWS. Packsville, S. C., Jan. 22:--Death has visited our town once more. Dur hearts were made sad Thursday morning on learning of the death of Mrs. Maria J. Bradham, the beloved wife of Mr. E. Manly Bradham.

The Auditor's office will be open rrom the first day of January. 1897, to the twenth day of February, 1897, to receive returns of personal prop erty for taxation in Clarendon county for the year 1897 and for the conven ience of tax-payers will have deputies at each of the places named below to receive returns for the said year: .

Taxpayers return what they own on the first day of January, 1897. All personal property, must be re turned this year. Assessors and taxpayers will -enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the property is in, and where the tax payers owns realty, to insert the post office as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property, to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the tax payer as well as the county treasurer in making the collections and pre venting errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and sixty years on the first day of January, 1897, ex cept those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed tax able polls. This does not apply to Confederate soldiers over fifty years af age. All the returns-that are made afte the twentieth day of February -wi ] have a penalty of 50 per cent, add~ thereto, unless out of the eounty during the time of listing.. N~ o knowing the time of listing is no ex euse. The assessing and colleeting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the hor ses, cattle, mules, &c., and their vr.lue that there is in the county, and b ave same on file in the Comptroller eden eral's office by the thirtieth da-y 'o1 June each year. And from that time to the first day of Oetober each year the auditor's and treasarer's dupieate has to be completed and an abstract of the work in the Cc-mp troller's office by that time, which will show at a glance that the a udi tor has no time to take in ret-urns or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. Therefore I hope that all taxpayers will do me the favor of making their returns in time. J. E LBER T DAVIS, Auditor Clarendon County. NEW BEEF MARKET I Edwin Scott, Butcher.
