It is no wonder that biennial sessions are growing in demand, when it is considered how some legislators employ their time. Instead of studying out legisa tion which is for the pie's in ter a a som lawmakers ly have in view something which may suit their individual callings, or something which might prevent or aid some par ticular scheme in which the leg islator, or a personal friend is interested in, and which is abso lutely of no benefit to the public generally. We find a bill introduced to require railroads to give free transportation to State and county officers, and this measure will have support we have no doubt. The sitting of the legis lature costs about $1000 per day and this money comes out of the pkets of the taxpayers gener ally, how is a bill to give a spe cial class of individuals the lux ury of free transportation to ben efit the taxpayers? Our view of this, is that should the bill be come a law, it will be unconsti tutional, as much so as would an Act confiscating the receipts from passenger traffic, and aside from that, it is an unjust and an un reasonable requirement; had the bill provided for free transporta tion for the' public, we might have attributed it to zeal, but as it only undertakes to save money for office holding politicians we must think it is an effort to "stand in" with the vote getters, uild for the future at the ex pense railroads. It is just as reasonable to require the railroads to provide food and clothing for State and county officials, as it is to require them to furnish free transportation. Suppose the railroads did give free transpor'tation, as they did before the free pass act was passed, how, many State and county officials would refuse to collect and pocket mileage when traveling on official business? Before the free pass act, the railroads made it a practice to send passes to -members of the legislature, and to sheriff's, and these officers used them, but when tif~y traveled on official - -isines, and made out their ac counts, mileage was one of the miain features-not railroad mile age at three cents per mile, but statutory mileage at ten cents per mile, when the fact is they did not pay out one cent. Was anything saved to the taxpayers, by these officers having free transportation? Then if there is nothing to be saved to the tax payers, why take up the time of the legislature, especially when there is a cry for an increase of taxation. The State and county officers solicit the positions and very frequently spend money to get them, there must be some thing in them worth the seeking, they know the salaries attached, and there is no law compelling the acceptance, therefore we see no reason for the legislature to oppress railroads for the bene fit of a number of stall-fed offi cers. ~ Instead of a bill to give transportation to officers, a bill to compel the roads to provide better schedules, and indiscrimi nate freight rates would have some good in it for the general public. We hope the Florence Senatcr's bill will be defeated, because we are opposed to our * legislature resorting to a "hold up" policy. There should be a law enacted and enforced which will protect the public from being cheated in weights. If the penalty for cheating in weights and meas ures were to be confiscation of property, we would not hear so many complaints as we do these days, we certainly would not hear of any incidents which would result in a man getting 2100 pounds for 1700 pounds be cause he required the parties to weigh what he purchased on the same scales that he sold his *product on. Whether there is any just ground for the many complaints of short weights or not, the complaints are current, and it is proper that steps be taken to give the people protec tion; we sincerely hope that our legislators will at this very ses sion, have enacted a law, with a confiscation penalty to teach those who will not know, that it takes 2000 ~pounds to make a short ton, and 2240 pounds to make a long ton. We have been told by a party who stands high in the county, that should it be come necessary, he will make affidavit to the effect, that he is out of pocket about $90 on short weights this season; if the law confiscated the property of an other who is caught giving short weights, such a complaint would hardly be, unless by some acci dent scales get out of fix, but ~when found out, those who were sufferers, restitution ivould be made to them voluntarily and immediately. We hope the newspapers of the State will not continue their discussions of the Gonzales trag edy, and let the law take its course without creating senti- I ment for or against the unfortu nate man who must anvswer for his deed in the courts.

Teller has been re elected United States Senator from Colorado after a hotly con tested race. in which he received the support of the Democrats. The Republicans refuse to accept his.election and there is likely to be a.contest on the floor of the Senate. Teller has been a Re publican all of his life, but on account of his silver views broke with his party and acted with the Democrats on the money question and the policy of the government in the Philippines. ------------ A Liberal Offer. The undersigned will give a free sample of Chamberlain's Stomach and Li'ver Tablets to any one want ing a reliable remedy for disorders of the stomach, biliousness or constipa tion. Ttiis is a new remedy and a good one. The R. B. Loryca Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. Governor McSweeney has now retired to private life, and after two terms as Governor of South Carolina he left that exalted po sition with honor to himself, and glory to the State. His admin istration was a success from every standpoint, and we sin cerely believe he was one of the best governors the State has had, and in our opinion, the best since 1880. We hope the gov ernor will not remain in private life, because the State needs the services of just such men as Miles B. McSweeney. Finds Way to Live Long. The startling aanouncement of a Discovery that will surely lengthen life is made by editor 0. H. Downey of Cburobusco, Ind. "I wish to state," he writes, "that Dr. King's Yew Discovery for Consumption is the most infallible remedy that I have ever known for coughs, colds atd grip. It's invaluable to people with weak lungs. Having this won derful medicine no one need dread pneumonia or consumption. Its re lief is instant and cure certain." The R. B. Loryea Drug Store guarantees every 50e and .$1 bottle, and give trial bottles free. We salute our new governor D. C. Heyward, and from the tone of his inaugural address we believe his administration will be thoroughly business, and not sensational. Governor Heyward enters upon the discharge of his duties at a time when the whole State is at peace, there are no warring factions, and the old Ship of State is sailing upon a calr1 sea, we have every confi dence in the helmsman, that he will keep her pointing forward and onward we have not the slightest doubt; the more we see: of the man the better are we pleased with him. His address* when he took oath of office, con vinced us that he is a man who stands for something. He is not a figure on dress parade, but a man of practical ideas, just, and fearless. Dislocated Her Shoulder. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus Falls, Minn., feil and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bot tle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep wich she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaae M. Loryea, Prop. We agree with Mr. Lesesne in his opposition to a bill providing for ten year convicts to serve sentences on public works. The limit for chaingang now is five vears. Mr. Lesesne thinks five years is enough for a man to serve on the chaingang, and so do we. Whether five years are enough or not, our opposition is based upon the ground, that it opens up soft places for convicts of manslaughter-gentlemen con victs, who if they are white men, instead of picking rock in the penitentiary, they would go on their home chaingang's and vir tually be employees instead of convicts. We also agree with Mr. Lesesne in the suggestion that the chaingangs should come under legislative regulations, which will afford some protection from cruelty for the helpless un fortunates who are serving sen tence, for possibly, some mis demeanor, or breach of contract with a man who would not pay him for his labor, or forced him by bad treatment to break the contract when the time was near ly out, to avoid payment. Unconscious From Croup. During a sudden and terrible at ack of croup our little girl was un cnscious from strangulation, says A. L. Spafford, postmaster, Chester, Mib., and a dose of One Minute Cough Cure was administered and repeated often. It reduced the swel lng and inflammation, cut the mu us and shortly the child was resting easy and speedily recovered. It ures coughs, colds, ha grippe, and all throat and lung troubles. One Minute Cough Cure lingers in the throat and chest and enables the lungs to contribute pure, health-gi v ing oxygen to the biood. The R. B. Somc of the newspapers are going into hysterics because, at a recent State reception given by President Roosecvelt, negroes at tended. Negroes have been at tending the president's pubEc r, receptions ever since the days when Grant was president. We remember during Cleveland's administration Fred Douglas with his white wife were con- F suicuous attendants at these functions, and we see no reason. at this late day to make so much ado over such things. The negroes at the prsi dent's recent reception wer. , ofticials of thc government, and their wives, a custom that his been in vogue. A public recep- a ton is in no wise a social affair- s merely a prefunctory custom Y' which all of the president's have j, given at the IVhitc House. Those ti who do not wish to attend them o need not do so, and those that sl do, are not compelled to recog- a nize on a social plane the people n they see there. At a public re (eption given by the president 1 all manner and conditions of peo- a le go, to hear the music and to oi see the elaborate display of gor- P gous costumes, the same as if d they went to attend the "grand opening" of a large department store in a fashionable city, or the launching of a battle ship. Croup. The peculiar cough which indi cates croup, is usually well known to the mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment U of it, and for this purpose no medi- I cine has received moi-e universal ap- o: proval than Chamberlain's Cough a: Remedy. Do not waste valuable ci time in experimentlng with untried remedies, no matter how highy they n may be recommended, but give this a medicine as directed and all symp- 1N toms of croup will quickly disappear. a For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug P Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. t t t1 Senator Stanland of Dorches- ti ter has introduced a bill which should become a law by all d means. and it would be com mendable indeed if the bill could go through both houses without a dissenting vote. The bill seeks to amend the law relating to pri mary elections, so as to permit watchers at the primaries. and to prohibit men from having E their names on more than one poll list, and also to require y every voter to vote in the district I in which he resides. The last g primary election brought about a condition which makes it nec essarv to demand such legisla- n tion. It is an outrage for men ~ to have their names on several clubs, and as the result of the pri- t< mary it has been proven beyond d a question of doubt that in some,t at least in one county, more votest were polled than there are qual- b ified white voters, notwithstand ing the known fact that not less d than 250 voters remained away from the polls in the second pri mary. We account for the fraud - in the loose manner of having the names of voters on a number1 of clubs, the initials of the voter being different at each club for the purpose of repeating, and which was done to the extent, that v by such fraud a majority of the legally qualified voters who did participate in the election were :efeated of their choice. A law L : the statute books making it a iisdemeanor for the name of a A voter to be on more than one poll ist, with the further require nent that no man can vote out- L side of the township in which heL Lesides, will put a stop to a prac-A ice which is calculated to smash ny party, and to invite into high places the venal and corrupt. We heartily approve of the Stan Land bill, and we believe it wille ippeal to the good sense and donesty of the General Assem-di bly.
