G. Siggers, 918 I. meer. N. W.. wa\hiniitoa, D. C. The legislation on the dispensary question amounts to very little. A bill has been passed doing away with the board of control, consisting of five members, and creating a board of directors, to consist of three, one to be elected by the Seuate and two )y the House. There is very little difference between "board of control" and "board of directors." About all it ineans is turning out the old crowd a01d putting in a new one. Cuncle sa'u !,as added cand to the regnlar anv ration, and o1e New York tirm has shipped more than fiftv tons during the past year to troops in the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico, all of a high grade that would retail from thirty to fo'rtv cents a poand. The Qeen of England sent live hundred thousand pounds of chocolate as a Christmas gift to her s Aliers in Africa. What do our old Johunie Rebs think of that? If thev had only got enough beef, bread and coffee, somebody would have been whipped, and if they had had candv and chocolate they would have lieked somebody or been fighting yet. Some of the newspapers are hav ing quite a time trying to decide who is the real author of the wide tire bill, and many of them claim the sup posed honor for their various Sena tors and representatives. As a mat ter of fact the first time that this bill was ever introduced into the General~ Assembly was two years ago, when the original plan was introduced oin he Senate by SenatLr Gaines,of E Ige rield Courty. and who also repre sented the County of Greenwood a short while until some little senatorial differences as to representation were settled. But we cannot see whv peo ple should want the honor of being the father of such a bill. It strikes us had we ever fathered such a meas ure we would want it to be forgotten as soon as possible. The Columbia State chos the fol lowing and credits it to the Sumter Herald: "'Wide tires make good roads by not cut ting up the roads a~s narrow tires are bound to do. Anvoue who would think of it for a monwant would see that this was so; but a treat manny people lacki the thinking We would like to know how wide tires are going to make roads. If the roads are tirst made then there may be some little argument in say ing that wide tires wvill not cut them up) as badly as narrow tires. But the strongest argument against this bill is the unnecessary inconvenience and expense it will cause to people in having to provide vehicles with wide tires, and when we see so many legis latolrs and newspapers arguing that this conjectural measure will be such a great thing we ere forced to ag'ree with The llerald that "a great many people lack the thinking facuity." Representative 3IcCullough of Greenville has introduced in the House of Representatives a series o resolutions expressing sympathy with the Boars, and also expressing the ho4pe that the United States will e: tend its good ofiices towards stop ping the cruel and unjust war which England is waging against the Trans vaal Republic and Orange Free State. In the light of the memories of Wash ington, Jefferson and Patrick llenry, of Mloultrie, Thomas Sumter and Francis M1arion, the South Carolina Legislature should pass these resolu tions. It will cost nothing except for the time of their reading and the printing, and in expressing the sym pathies of our State they will b ut be consistent with the motives of patri otism which inspired our forefathers one hundred and twenty year-s ago when they rose up and purchased for us with many lives the liberty which we enjoy today. If anything the cause of the Boers is even more just. than ever ours was. Ve fought to free ourselves from a bond of slaverv' in which we were* born, wvhile the Boers ate fighting to keep a tremuend-I ous government, tilled with the greed for money, from putting the yoke of' slavery upon their necks. The M1anufacturers' Record of l~timiore has published a lengthy and interesting interview with Senator .ohn L. 31eLaurin, regarding the treaty between France and the United States, in which Senator 31c Laurin exhibits his complete famili arity with many international ques t ions involving more practicuarly the commercial interests of the South. In opening the interview the MIanu facturers Itecord pays Senator 31c Laurin the following compliment: - JLbu Lownjes McLaiurmt senator in <'tges'fom' S.uth Carolina, stands be to~ the countrv as a type of the yong. aerssv outh--rrner wnou thi:nks for him I, Le~ves :o progr-s. and who "lives, moe and~ Las :.is L.':n not it reminis Chaos is the word to describe the condition which has prevailed in Kentucky for the past ten days. That State has always been known to be a place where land feuds arose, which oiten resulted in desperate shootings, and handed down bad blood from generation to generation. Daniel BocLe met with rough ex perience when as the first white ex plorer be rambled through her forests, and the occurences of the past month have done much to merit for her the title given her by the Indians of "Dark and Bloody Ground." The fearful tradgedy of three weeks ago, when in a hotel lobby at Frankfort an altercation between Cl. Colson and Lieut. Scott resulted in the kill ing of three men, two of them in nocent parties to tie affair, was fresh in the minds of newspaper readers, when the news of the foul assassina tion of Cuot Goebel, Democratic con testant for Governor, came as the State's crowning climax of shame. The public are familiar with the poli tical conditions that have existed in Kentucky since last fall's elections, and remember that Col. Goebel, Democrat, was contesting the Gov ernor's seat, which had been gotten possession of by William Taylor, Re publican, and who was occupying the same, as claimed by the Democrats, without warrant of election. The board of election commis.sioners were to have decided who should be Gov ernor one day last week, and it being enerally known that they would award the seat to Goebel, he was foully assassinated while walking ecross the public square, by some villainous cowards who were secreted in the third story of the building in which were Taylor and his crowd. From this third story window some coward fired the fatal rifle ball that ended the life of one of the bravest men that was ever bred in old Ken tucky. While on a dying bed Goebel was sworn into office, aud issued sev eral proclamations, and at his death the Democratic contestant for Lieu tenant Governor was sworn ia, so that for ten days Kentucky has had two Governors. But an appeal by Taylor to the President to seLd troops and uphold him has been de clined, and like I lampton redeemed South Carolina twenty-three yeais ago Kentucky will yet be redeemed from the Republicans, who are now weakening. All is excitement and trouble in the old "Blue Grass" State, and if she passes through the next ten days and settles the ques tion of who shall be Governor with out a fearful clash between soldiers and civilians, she will have done well. Let us hope that she will. The foul murder of Col. Goebel to keep him from taking the Governor's seat is a bloody stain that the Repub lican party in Kentucky will never be able to efface. lie was a strong minded man and as fearless and brave as a lion. Knowinr this they feared him and wanted him out of the way. The hands of John Wilkes Booth or f Guiteau were never engagedl in a more cowardly deed, or slewv a braver man. It is asserted by the Republi ans that his murder is the result of evenge for the killing of Sanford by 30ebel, but this is far-fetched, as that illing occurred something like two ears ago, and an assasin for such a ause could have long since gratified his revenge. The killing of Sanford by Gioebel laims no place in the minds of rea sonable men in this affair. Ie and nford had an altercation concern ng the publication of a newspaper rticle and Sanford started to draw his pistol, but Goebel was the quick est, and upon the principle that self reservation is the first law of nature e defended himself and was cleared y a jury of his countrymen. All America~ can but deplore the eath of such a man. While lie ight have lived a better life from a :eligious point of view, yet it is not ithin the province of man to judge im along t bis line. At his request mluisters were with him constantly just before he (died, and among his last utterances was a statement that e wanted it understood he had not ived in open defiance of God. i~e eraps by this tiuue knows his re ard. Our province is to condermn the foul method by which lie was forced to meet it. The situation in Kentucky was uiet up to last night, and the lie publicans show signs of weakening. overnor Taylor has agreed to cer tain measures decidedly favorable to the Democrats. .1. C. WN. Beckbamn, the Lieutenant Governor with soe bel, has been sworn into office to suc eed his (lead chief, and will stand the contest to a finish, ie is a yong man only thirty years old, and is strong intellectually and at fine arator. e is said to be equal to the emerg ncies and will not only be the Gov ernor, but will make a model one.

The General Assembly within the past week has done a great deal of work. Both brancies seem anxious to get through within the forty days allowed by the constitution: and, al though the Calendars are heavily laden. the probability is an adjourn muent will be reached before the forty days are out. The legislation on the liquor con trol is not settled. The Senate by a vote of 25 to 12 declared against loeal option. Some voting that way de elare their desire to have the ques tion discussed in the coming cain paign. This class believe in the prin eiples of local option, but voted against it because they thought such a revolutionary change should not he made until the people have been consulted first. I wast not at all dis appointed when my bill was snowed under: and, although it was defeated by a two to one vote, the priiciples set out in the hill are not hurt, and will become a leading issue. The dispensary bill as passed in the Sen ate is virtually a measure to turn out the present State Board of Control to put in a new set of men. If the new set conduct the affairs of the in stitution without scandal then local option will not be brought forward again next year, but there is a grow ing sentiment favoring county con trol of the liquor question. Dr. Woods was called home on ac count of sickness in his family. His bill to exempt St. Marks, Brewing ton and Mt. Zion townships from the operations of the stock law during certain months has not yet been act ed upon. Mr. Jones' bill to exempt Claren don from the seed cotton license was killed. Mr. Richardson's bill defining the duties of sheriffs with regard to es caped convicts has passed the House and is now in the Senate. If this bill becomes a law sheriffs will have to arrest escaped convicts with or with out a warrant. The Senate bill putting the Clerk's office on a salary has been passed: so also has the bill to require the sheriff to act as constable for Ohe magistrate at the county seat. Both go into effect in 1i1ol. In the Senate a joint resolution was passed to a third reading au thorizing the Supervisor to draw his warrant on the Treasurer for 52i for Mrs. Kate Tobias. widow of the late S. T. Tobias, who was killed in the honorable discharge of duty. The broad tire bill had a rough time in the House: it was killed at first, afterwards resurrected and amended so as to make it almost in operative. If the amendments are agreed to the people will have a right to vote on the question. The friends of the bill are not pleased and may not agree to the amendments. The question of completing the State House will be thoroughly dis cussed. I have tacked on an amend ment to the bill providing that the appropriation shall not eause an in crease in the tax levy. This does not meet with the wishes of those who cry out for the completion of the building regardless of expense. I find it easy enough for men who have no taxes of consequonce to pay to ad vocate the spending of people's money, but those who have to pay taxes are not wanting the burden to press any heavier than it is. I should like to see a magnificent State House, but if the State cannot have the work done with its present 5 mill evy in my judgment we have miore important things needing money: the free schools need mnore money, and if the $130.000 wanted for the State House would be scattered among the country schools it would do the State more good than the beautifying of the capitol building. If, however, we can complete the structure without adding an addi tional burden upon the taxpayers I will vote for it. If' this cannot be done, in the language of Citizen Josh Ashley, "I am agin it." The prohibition bill was killed in the House by a vote of 763 to 26. An effort was made to cast suspi cion on Governor McSweeney by re p)orting that he had held a caucus in his offiee to push the dispensary measure, with himself on the board. It was a political stroke and p~roved a boomerang. There w'as a confer ence in the Governor's office to de vise means whereby ni e c e s s a r v amendments might be made to the dispensary law and sav~e the people money by shortening the session. L.
