J When the House met the report of

actor and purpose, impartiality, docis
ion, di?patch-o? buji??ss^and affability,
and congrat^likes itself' upon havtug
such a presiding officer. The resolu

It will bo of interest to note that
Mr. Frank Mellett had his reasons lor
voting against the dispensary law
spread upon the Journal, ?ni said:
"I opposed to bill No. 351 for
the following reasons: .First, because
it is repngnant to the Constitution^ of
the United States and the Stat* of
South Carolina; seoond, iWufringes
upon the right* of an American citizen;
third, if enuoted into law it will be one
of the mose gigantic frauds ever per
petrated upon a free people."
It was somewhat noteworthy that the
House concurred itt^jthe four important
amendments to the election bill pro
