Congress is doing much talkee, talkee on the question of ratifying the treaty. The Gonzales-Ellerbe fuss has about died out, and judging from the various comments in the newspapers Editor Gonzales has come out of the affair with the glory of a man who has turned State's evidence. Even the papers that condemn Ellerbe are severe on Gonzales. M1r. Featherstone has thrown away his religious principles to make a dicker with the liquor forces to defeat the dispensary. When he runs for governor again he should carry a Sunday school tract in one hand and a corkscrew in the other and prove to the masses how easy it would be for Prohibitionists and liquor dealers to divy the political spoils; and when he makes an appeal again to the women and preachers he should not fail to include the liquor men. Featherstone in his ambition to be governor, has simply stepped upon the Columbia State's banana peel, and slipped up. The Prohibitionists will have to look elsewhere for a leader, for they can not pose as being sincere in their fight for a religious priiaciple, and at the same time compromias with those who want to sell liquor under license, high or low. The two propositions are diametrically opposed to each other. The News and Cou rier's explana tion, in issue of the 21st uit., "A Procrustean bid for the Press," is certainly a very learned effort and makes its meaning as clear as very thick,black mud. The bill sought. to be struck by the News and Courier's headline artist is to regulate the charges for legal advertising. The present law is unsatisfactory to the newspapers and thbe party having the charge to pay. Last year, thbis same question came upl before the legisla ture and the Senate without a hitch passed the bill asked for, but when it struck the house in the rush of the last days it struck a sung and went down. A member from Lexington who did not understand the merits of the bili offered some opposition on ac count of it being a measure from the State Press Association and he man aged to get the bill killed and whzy, he does not know.The bill is up again; this time it comes from a lawyer from Orangeburg who has an exten sive practice and who knows by ex perience that the law regulating le gal advertising as it now exists is not only an injustice to the printer, but it fails to help officer, lawyer, or client and is calculated to confuse, and it also leaves room for advant ages to be taken. Mr. Moss seeks to remedy this condition by going back to the printer's rule of measurement, fixing a standard type and requiring legal advertisements to be set solid; under the Moss bill no advantage can be taken and anybody can calcu late t-he cost of an advertisement and it is fair to all concerned. Washington Letter. (From or~r Regular Correspondet ) Washington, Jan. 27, 1899. A sensational speech against the Hull bill for the increase of the reg ular army, which will be voted upon next. Tuesday,was made in the House by Representative Johnson, of Ind., a repubican. He said of Mr. Mc Kiniey: "It- William McKinley ever changes his policy regarding the Philippines he will bend to the weight of popular opinion, to which he bows, right or wrong." Indenti ca s same sentiment, in slightly different words, had been expressed the day before by Jerry Simpson. Being interrupted by applause from the democratic side, Mr. Johnson asked that it be not repeated until he had finished, when Representative Henderson of Iowva, sneeringly re marked: "You ought to be able to stand democratic applause." Quick as a flash Mr. Johnson retorted: "I am ready to stand the applause of broadminded,honest men everywhere, just as I am read)y to stand the crit icismn of narrowminded republicans." Speaking of the treaty of peace, Mr. Johnson said: "If I were in the Sen ate, I would rot in my seat before IJ ..-u.d cnent to that traty. " The most carefully preprare speeeb ainst t:e Hull bill was made by liepresentativc Hay, of Va., the raLnking democratie member of the Military Committee, who said that the bill provided for too small an army to carry out an imperial pol icy aud too lage a one if we are not to have an imperial policy. The absurdity of the churge that the anti-imperialists are holding up the treaty of peac6 became fully ap parent in the debate on the treaty, this week. Senator Gorman told the supporters of the treaty that its op ponents were ready to join them in disposnug of the treaty at any time, and twitted them by doubting their earnestncss about taking a vote o the treaty. Senator Vest spoke even plainer. lie said: "\Ve want it un derstood distinctly that we are not boldizng the treaty up at all. Name the day. We will agree to any date that will suit Nou. If you have the votes you can ratify the treaty; if not, it will be defeated; the question will be disposed of, and the Senate can proceed with other business." Under these taunts Senator Davis asked that the treaty be voted on February 6, and it was agreed to. Senator Clay, of Georgia., who fa vors ratification of the treaty but op poses expansion, did some common sense talking this week, in the Sen ate. For instance, he said of the failure of the administration fo an nounce a policy toward the Philip pines: "If it be wise and statesman like to outline our policy as to Cuba before the adoption of the peace treaty, what reason or logic can the friends of expansion give for silence as to the policy of our government in dealing with our other territorial aequisitions," and of retention of the Philippines: "In my judgment, the acquisition and retention of the Phil ippines means an army of 150,000. It means that the annual expenses of the army will increase from $20,000, 00P to $200,000,000. And a large standing army means that the pen sion list will increase from $5,000, 000 to $10,000,000 ainnually." That there is something rotten about the War Department is every day becoming more apparent, in spite of the efforts made to keep down the truth. The War Investigating Com mission seems especially determined to save the contractors who furnished the bad beef, both refrigerated and canned, to our soldiers, insisting that the beef was good, in the face of positve evidence to the contrary. Another proof of the rottenness of the War Department methods is fur nished by the assertions made by Gen. Eagan's friends, that he is will ing to accept a nominal punishment as a result of his court-martail for blackguarding Gen. Miles, and .keep his mouth shut, but that if Mr. Mc Einlev fails to set aside enough of te finding f the court-martial to make his punishment nominal, he will raise such a scandal as Washing ton has not had for many years. by telling everything he knows about war contracts and thes~e wbo profited thereby. Eagan's plea before the court-martial, of not guilty, although acknowledging the use of the dirty and disgusting languag~e towards FGen. Miles, and bis claim for pro tection under Mr. McKinley's prom ise, is believed to be the r esult of an understanding, and the belief is strenghened by his confident and nonhalent bearing digring the trial. A sportingl~y inclined army offcer offered to bet ten to one that a ver dict of guilty would not result in E g.n's dismissal from the army. Senator Lodge, in a speech in fa vor of the ratification of the treaty, did not go quite as far as Tim Camp bell, who is said to have once re marked to Mr. Cleveland, "What's the Constitution between friends," but he must have felt abiut the same as Tim did when the Constitution tood in his way, when he said; "Con stutions do not make a people; peo ple make constitutions." Like many other epigrams, that of Mr. Lodge is not strictly true. He does not read history aright who does not recognize the powerful party played by the Constitution in making the people of the United States what they are to $100 REWARD $100. The readers of this paper will bei pleased toeiern that there is at least one ureade-d disease that science has bet n able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrb.

If resonable care is sed, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will he avoided. Among the tens of thousands wo have used this remedy for la grippe we hae yet to learn of a single ease resulting in pneumonia which shows conclusively that this remedy is a certain preventivo of that dangerous disease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other treat, met. It is pleasant and safe to take. For Cap'ial correspondence.

Turbeville, Seloc, and three from each township on the Board of Egalization. -Hon. Gieo. R. Jones was compelled to return home on account of being sick, and Hon. I. M. Woods had an attack of grippe. A bill introduced by Doctor Woods to exempt certain portions of the county from the operations of the stock law passed the House and is now in the Senate. Mr. Wood's bill relative to the stock law in Clarendon County was called up by Mr. Richardson and or dered to its third reading. The bill had gone through when members thought it best to hear from Mr. Woods, who is sick. Objec tion was then again withdrawn and the bill ordered-to its third reading. The bill with so many ups and downs provides: "Section 1. That on and after the approval of this Act there shall be ex empted from the operation of Chap ter 27, Title X, Part 1, of the General Statutes, known as the general stock law and fencing stock, all that cer tain territory in Clarendon County known as North Black River, being Black River and Black River Swamp, extending from the line of Sumter County to the line of Williamsburg County: Provided, the said exempt ed territory be completely surround ed by a lawful fence, with gates and cattle guards, as hereinafter pro vided. Section 2. That all of the territory in Clarendon County covered by the Townships of Plowden's Mill, Har mony, Midway. New Zion, Douglass and Sandy Grove shall,from the 15th day of November to the 1st day of the following March,be annually ex empted from the operation of the general stock law, as cited in the 1st section of this act. The other sections are relative to the enforcement of the Act." An amendment to the Hawkers and Peddlers law, requiring horse drovers to pay a county license, pass ed the Senate and is now over in the house. Hon. H. B. Richardson has beea kept busy with committee work and is regarded one of the working mem bers of the House. At a delegation meeting it was de cided to be for the best interests of the County to raise the county levy three-fourths of a waill; this will bring a sufficient sum to pay off all debts against the county and the running expenses for this year. The Supervisor has borrowed from the Sinking Fund Commission $3,500, at 5 per cent. interest, and if he will use that money with good business judgment he will save to the county not less than 35 per cent. In the preperation of the supply bill, it was carefully worded and it stipulates how the borrowed money shall be expended. It is only to be used for roads and bridges, for dieting pris oners and paupers, and for paying jurors, witnesses and bailiffs. All other demands upon the county will have to wait until the taxes are col lected. Now if the Supervisor has a bridge to rebuild, the party doing the work will be paid the cash as soon as he complies with his contract and therefore can afford to do the work cheaper;there need be no shay ing of bridge claims this year. The food supplies to be purchased for the poor house and chaingang will be bought for cash and there is no good reason why a considerable save cannot be had from this source. With the cutting off of the extra week of court in the fall our court expenses will be less this year than heretofore,and the county is mna fair prospect to shake off her debt and et where she ougbt to be. Judge of Probate Windham's Com mission was sent to him last Satur day and he is now in full charge of the office. The County Court bill passed the Senate and although its author laimed it would save the tax payers more money, Clarendon's Senator could not see it in that light, as the bill required a salary of one thous ands dollars for a county judge, thre~e hundred dollars for a county solici tor and three hundred mo e for a~n official stenograper; the jurisdictin of the court does not extend to the trial of causes where the title of land was involved, so when the bill was about to pass Clarendon's Senator had this county exempted upon the ground that we did not care at this time to indulge in such a luxury, and we were not disposed to pension some lawyer who wanted a judge ship. There is a bill now before the Senate to encourage the erection of factories in this State, and to do so the factories are to be exempted from taxation for a period of five years. Clarendon's Senator will oppose the measure upon the ground, that it will fail of its purpose, besides it is unjust to other taxpayers, and if the bill goes to a second reading he will amend the title of the act and bill, by an encouragement to tobacco planters, that they be also exempt. Our tobacco culture is still in its ex perimental stage, and we need some thing in this country to take the place of cotton; if the friends of the big syndicates can ask for tax ex emptions we will not be too modest to ask for exemptions for the encour agement of those who are nearer to us than the factory people are. The redistricting bill is now in the Senate, but we believe we will be able to prevent its passage. It is a useless measure and in our judgment it was conceived to help an aspirant get to Congress where he could make $5000 a year. There is no de mand on the part of the people for such a measure, certain it is that the people of this county do not want it; we are satistied to remain where we are and where we have been for lo these many years and ir a man can not get to Congress as the districts are now arranged let h~m stay at home. There were many expressions of regret when the news of Mr. Moses Levi's death reached here.
