The hotiee of representatives adjt>uine<! sine die Saturday nis?lif "ntTl.57 o'-iook, nfler a bu?y aes aiou of forty day*. During (lie W pant ten <1 itvh both branches of the house have held day and night J sessions, and tho members were k glad when by limitation the ses sion had enued. A large number of hills of minor importance were introduced, and many passed, but in the three rao.-t important mutters with which I he law-iiuikoru were expected to deal ? taxation, biennial sessions and the dispensary? practically nothing was done, although about onetill) of the session was deyoted to the latter subject. The only taction taken in any of these matters, and this whs only of a reformatory nature, was tlie election of a new {State board of control for th.e disyensary. This election resulted as follows: W. O. Tatnm, commissioner; J. M. Rawlinson, of Richland county, chairman. In the . si-lection of two other members of the board, Messrs. Jos B. Wylie, of Chester county, and Major J no. Black were elected. Mr. Wylie is a farmer, and Major Black is from Colleton county, and is prominent ^ in military affairs. W The Dispensary Situation. I *?\)e Cobuubi# Record, which I has all along given the people of the H'.alc the true facts in the nf f fairs of the dispensary, sums up the present status of the institution as follows: The dispensary remains as it was with llie exception that the Mate board of directors is entirely changed in its personnel. Without making personal reference to any of liie meu. we confidently nssert that that wns not what the people wa .ted. They wanted reform of the purchasing power in the first place nnd stricter regulations geti generally as to the conduot of the business. This they have pot gotten, because.' the house was bo determined on abolishing the Htate dispensary that it vfcwld listen to nothing else nor consent to any reformatory plan even being med Both sides thought the othPV obstinate, no doubt, but since ^ it was evident that it was impossiH ble to destroy the general princ.iH pie, it does seem that theie might H have been some agreement as to V an earnest ^endeavor to reform I along well understood lints. r**s iwever, since that was not done \ directly, curiously enough it has been indirectiy. By giving the investigating committee enlarged j owet the legislature practically !>ut the purchasiug power in its lands. It has the power, and has exercised it, of suspending payis meat of bills until approved by committee. This gives it vir^^^uaV''.control of the purchases, and itv.k Itn iru in untiiu liuirrun ( lui u u niA i W r~ l|M ?c ill nwniv vaw^t vv safeguard that wan provided by I he Ray sor-Manning bill. We have no doubt thet the new board will welcome this division of responsibility, and we feel certain the people will. [ The fact, however, is that the temptations and opportunities for graft remain and if we would argue L in the absurd and unreasonable way the anti-dispensnryites are accustomed to we would say, unrier the circunistances that the committee is in danger, for we have been told times without numbar that any man or men, no inatgHA ter how hottest they might be. BHa'ouhl touch the liquor business, M^Lppvcinlly the purcliasing, without H^Heind contaminated. We have H|Hcver takon any stock in such stutf ^^Btnd we are as cert am as that the will risu tomorrow that the inmittee will disprove the "arguand confound the makers. I For a Printlnr School.

The school house at Cotton was destroyed by tiro last Saturday night aud there is reason to believe that it was the deliberate work of an iucendiarinry. The information is that people living in the neighborhood saw a man riding in Die direction of the school on a mule, and it can be proven that the mule was hitched near by a short while before the flames were seen. The understanding is that an arrest will be made shortly.

Tt.e old man hud been au inmate of tiie Mecklenburg county lu?me for some time. He left there January 27, and is supposed to have come direct from that place to where hie dead b )dy was found.

The flames originated from a defective flue tlmt led from the dining room through the kitchet-. When the blaze was flrst diseo\ ered it had gained considerable headway. Desperate efforts were made to extinguish the tire but to no avail. As qnicklv as possible the members of the household began taking out tlie furniture, but the heat was so intense that they were forced to abandon iheir efforts and only a small portion of the furniture in the living rooms was saved and nothing in the dining room or kitohen. The smoke-house, which stood near the dwelling, caught tire and was soou reduced to ashes* The most of the contents of this building, however, were saved. Mr. Blakeiiey's triends throughout this section sympathise with him in his misfortune. He carritd no insurance, and the loss, therefore, is a total one. A Tribute to Miss Mendenhall Miss Margaret B.
