The Legislature Adjourns. 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.

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.

Mr. James Blakeney, one of the
most prosperous farmer# pf the
Providence section, and who is
well known here, suffered the lose
by flre Friday night of his handsome
residence and several outbuildings.
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. Mendenhall
died yesterday afternoon nt the
Riverside Infirmary of typhoii
fever, which she contracted in the
nursing of patients suffering with
tiie disease. Miss Mendenhall had
been engaged steadily for some
weeks in the treatment of typhoid
fever patients and the demand was
so great for her services that she
did not secure scure sufficient rest,
which taxed her constitution too
severely and she succumbed to the
affection. She died a martyr to
the cause.?Charleston Post, 13th.
