The general assembly got to gether last Tuesday and its mem bers settled down to work at once There are a great many bills lef1 over from last year, many o which will tind a grave and prop erly so, because the statutes ar( already loaded with laws whic are not nor can they be enforced in my opinion the best work thi - legislature can do is to pass tn appropriation bills and adjourn bui it is not possible to hope fo this, because there are a numbe of aspirants who want to reacl the ear of the masses and the, are going to make speeches an< thereby prolong tWe session. A usual the first week very little o consequence is done, except ski mishing around getting ting together for next week when th work will set in earnestly, be then there wil be one interrul -tion Lee's birthcay which is nes Wednesday, the general assen bly bas acceted an mvitation l Wintop College to I by President Johnsz he can use more of ti money, and then there ir jnket for Clemsoi .,xmber institution needing moi of the StaWs cash. The frst question propouud' to me on arriving in Columb was -how will you vote on i liquor question," bang this peSI thing, but as I always do I an wered that 1 voted last year submit the liquor question to t1 people of the wet counties, a in joy at I promised them to I saisied with their action. the have acted and six counties sa they wanted to retain the dispe sary, therefore so far as this se sion is concerned I feel mloral bound to stand by my act of la ya.If this is not so,then whe was the sense in putting the people to the trouble and expez ~of holding an election, and tb Heresa your moi $25.00 Si 20.00 Su 16.50 St $8.50 Knickerbo $7.50 Knickerbo * $6.00 Knickerbc $5.00 Knickerbe $4.00 Knickerb( $3.50 Knickerb< 50c.

The Prohibitionists are in the U majority in the senate now and t if they wish to disregard their t implied agreement they can pass 1 a State wide prohibition law at! this session, and I would not be I at all surprised if they did it. The c only thing thac will prevent a I State wide act at this session 1. - there are some very sincere Pro hibitionists who feel morally bound to stand by the principle of local option that lhas worked so well for the prohibition cause the past few years. If these men stand firm. then it will be up to the people next summer if they want aState-wide prohibition law to require their representatives to vote for such a measure. I have no hesitency in saying now: I that inasmuch as the people of Clarendon have given an expres- p sion on this question, were it not I for what I regard a tacit agree ment made last year to let the people in the wet counties for themselves say whether or not they wanted to retain the whis key traffic I would feel morally bound to vote for State-wide pro-. hibition, under the circumstanceS however I cannot do so any more than I should allow the legisla ture to put the sale of liquor back r in Clarendon without a vote of a r majority of her people. I regard the adopting of a State-wide pro hibition bill by this legislature as much bad faith as I would regrd s the putting the sale of liquor f back on the ifteen counties that - ivoted it out under the same act, s I if the supporters of the dispen e sary were in the majority if such Lt a thing was attempted I would )- work with all the forces I could -t command to prevent it, and I am - the same now that the other s% o are in the saddle. e On last Friday I opposed a bill n looking to gis ing more power in e I liquor cases, that is to bring is down the power of injunction in :, a most tyrannical form under this e bill all the Attorney General has to do is on suspicion go before a d judge in any part.of the State, a apply for sn injunction with ex e parte testimony, put a citizen to :y a whole lot of expense, and the s. man may be innocent-if taken to before a jury he would establish e his innocense yet this bill seeks id to deprive him of the right of e !trial by jury. I am opposed to it 3y Iand all kindred measures looking id to harass citizens and cause them ato be mulct in heavy axpense, s If our laws are not sufficient t10 ly pnishthe ve 'ators of the liquor st lws ten strengthen them, but re aowth dpiemen of rights they se have from the beginnimg of this se goverment-the right of trial en by jury.

Then too, this q1i goes farther and proposes to njoin the owner of the build nr, the property under suspic >n of being a place where hquor . sold. the owner of the property av have rented the building for residence, or a dv goods store, Lid has not the least knowledge )f anything unlawful going on in he house rented, yet. forsooth -ome enemy whispers that liquor being sold in that property.

I am opos "d to any such dainnabie oppres sion, and if the same was at tempted with anything else than liquor the people would not sub mit, for it i.; tyrannical fanatic. ism and it runs mad. I want th liquor laws enforced, and I be lieve the same legal nachineri that it takes to enforce the lav against theft and murder is suffi cient for the punishment of liqu or law violations. There is abso lutely no reason to rob people, b: indirection of their constitutiona rights as is attempted by thi bill. If enacted into law it wil be an engine of oppression an< black mail. 1 have introduced a bill to au thorize the payment of the bal ance due the whiskey houses b; Clarendon, the amount is some thing over $500 and I am sur every honest man in the count will approve of the payment c this balance. The county ha protited by the money it got froi Iliquor, and it will not object t pay the debts remaining. I hav also introduced a bill to give at thority to the local trustees of ou graded school to enforce a cot tingent fee, they have not thi power now, and there are som who are taking advantage of th situation and refuse to pay. Th school must have the money ari the trustees may have to rats the amount to more than 25 cent of course they will not until it is forced upon them. but wh( that condition arises they wai the law so they can enforce the rules and regulations.

The Columbia State with its :baracteristic unfairness under akes to mislead the public by saying that the editor of THE TiMr.S had ample opportunity to know the stock holders of the Columbia Glass Company as their names have been printed in The State and other daily newspapers. We assure the reading public that THE TIMES editor has never seen in any newspaper. The State or any other, the names of these stock holders,. and we have asked several times for The State to publish them. After asking more than once without results. in our last issue we put it straight up to William Elliot Gonzales. editor of The State. to say who they arE and whether there is anything ir the report that persons connectec with The State or related to iL editor are interested in The Co lumbia Glass Company. Th< State does not yet give the nam es of the stock holders, but the editor denies for himself and hi: kin any owtiership in- this con cern. This part of his editoria is gratifying to us and we gladll inform our readers Mr. Gonzale says that neither he nor any o his family or any one intereste in The State has any interest i the glass company. The State misrepresents TH TIMES when it endeavors t create the impression that Tii TIMES championed James S. Fai num. It did no such thing, but did defend the jury that acquit ed Farnum from the bitter a tacks of The State. It defende the jury because it kept up wil the testimony and the judge cbarge as published: the edit< of THE TIMES agreed with tI jury initsconclusion. and we ha' no hesitency in saying that h we been a juror on that case t] judge's charge would have fore a verdict of "Not Guilty" fro 5 us, and, since the rendition ' this verdict we have discussi I the matter with a number of proi inent men who are as anxious bring the parties that robbed t State to justice, as is The Stal and they agree wiTh us that will not do for a jury to disrega e the charge of a judge to satis F a popular demand, or the polit f al advantage of any set of met s The State says that B. R. Ti ( man in a speech at Chester > 1906 made the same charge, ti e is, that parties interested in T - State are interested in the Coln r bia Glass Company, and that - j '-denounced the slanderer as s malicious and infamous liar." T: e TimS editor has no recoilecti e of this incident whatever. and *e has never read where Tillman d any time or at any pl~rce intim ejed that anyone in anyway c< ,nected with The State. is. or e' is was interested in this compai nor has THE TIMES editor el tread in The State any denunc ir tion of Tillman in this conn tion. therefore, he cannot po0 I E OR y saving mv ie bottom is 1y $17.50 y ~14.0O lyti ti 11.00 $8.00 Men's 1 S7.00) Men's 1 $6.00 Men's 1 S5.00 Men's 1 $4.00 Men's 1 $3.00 Men's1 $2.50 Men's $2.00 Men's1 $1.50 Men's 1 . 40c. . 40c. t-Prices. Ou LDLBE bly fall heir to The Stat Is tirade of abuse of Tillman. We have read in The State denunciations of Tillman about other matters and it was as effective as the rain that drops on a duck's back, but with regard to The State's con nection with the glass company. never. There has been a rumor throughout the State that the Gonzales or persons interested im their newspaper are stock holders in the company and we have on more than one occasion through THE TImES asked The State C ipublish the names of the stock holders of this company in ordei to ascertain whether or not theri is any foundation for the rumor The State either overiooked th< request or it did not see tit t4 comply. and that is the reason wi I put the question up to its edito again, and in a personal way I Since The State denies the con nection we heartily accefpt th .1denial. But there is something strang about this company. The windin up commission alleges that thi company robbed the State out c thousands of dollars. and th f gentlemen composing the cont I mission are reputable citizen. yet The State says it recogniz in that list of stock holders me who command the respect of a who know them, and whose i tegrity none dare assail excel in the covert, cowardly. contem] t tible manner of the charact< I assassin." The commission hos ever did assail the company r gardless of the character of the: h Stock holders and in no covei I cowardly and contemptible ma s ner, but in a straight torwa r manly way alleges that this col I panv did over charae the Sta and are guilty of conspiring wi its officials to defraud the Stu . of South Carolina, what the co mission will be able to prove 1T of court of law remains to be se( 'd but the point is, they are direc1 - charged by men who enjoy t people's respect, and it mattA e not the bitter language employ by The State. it cannot rub < t the existing fact, that these m d whom our contemporary lat stand before the people of t c. State accused, just as are the I uor houses and their agents. We do not know the men acc in ed by the commission, but so at as they having the respect those who know them is conce ed it has nothing to do with o it ditions as they exist; some. a perhaps all of the men char, with graft, enjoyed the good or on ion of those who knew them he fore they went into this whisi at business, but has their later c -t- duct continued to them this g opinion.

So the swellirg up of the editor of The State and using abusive language amounts to about as much as did the drunken boast of the fellow who stalked into a bar and looking around those present strangers. belched forth. -I can lick the fellow who said that I robbed a bank at home." nobody had said anything about the chap, and therefore r there was no one to take offense at what he said. The State says it called Tillman a liar for mak ing a charge against its editor im 1900 and that THE TIMES editor e could not escape reading it, there fore THE TIMES automatically s falls heir to the abuse it heaped upon Tillman. If the editor of e The St:.te does not exhibit the cloven hoof in this, as well hi: ostrich proclivities when corner ed, then we are not able to judge n but all of this does not yet sa: 11 who are the stock holders of th4 Columbia Glass Company; all tha we have, is a clean bill of nealt] from a partisan newspaper-Th State, but to conteract this, ther -,is the public charge of dishones e. ty made by a commission of me e who are regarded as among th t. best in South Carolina.
