Separate Coaches for the Whites and!
Blacks—The Cigarette Kvil is Belt
With and a Tax Imposed.
Mr. Gage’s bill to prohibit the mana-
facture and ealo of cigarettes was taken
up and passed over to permit Mr.
Epps' bill on the same subject to be
considered first.
Mr. Sinkler said that the United
States court of appeals had recently
decided exactly similar bills uncon
stitutional.
Mr. Ashley moved to strike out the
enacting words of the bill. Both
bills had been unfavorably reported.
, Mr. Epps thought that it was time
to put a stop to the iojurr that was
being done to the youth of the State by
the sale of cigarettes. He thought
their lives were being endangered.
Mr. Hinkler said, if any one could
satisfy him that this law was constitu
tional be would vote for the bill. The
circuit court of appeals bad decided
adversely to such a bill.
Mr. Wtuktwr knew of no more dam-
nabie habit to the youth of tbit coun
try than that of »n> ok lag cigarettes

members of the geaeral ssembiy

TUE JIM GROW OAR BILL.
When Mr. Caughman’s Jim Crow car
bill, which had been unfavorably re
ported, was called up Mr. Meares
moved to strike out the enacting words.
Mr. Caughman defended his bill. He
thought it was their duty to legislate
for the benefit of the Caucasian race
in the future. He was fully aware
that this bill had been fought over
every two years since *76. He feared
that as the years rolled by Intermar-
maridage of the races might come. He
argued that the railroads would not
suffer. He urged the fact that most of
the other Southern States had such
laws. •
Mr. Reynolds said that the unfavor
able report of the committee was of
ooarae of weight in this r alter He
•aid there had been a growing feeling
that this legislation was unnecessary
The course of such bills In 30 years
showed that. The desire foe the bill
grew out of the race problem. It was
tbs idea of lha thing mo*e than lbs
reality which made some peopla want

tbit radical change

to make it effective on November 1,
As a substitute for this, Mr. Sturkie
offered to amend so as to provide for
nurses, vestlbuled' trains, etc., and to
mak* tba aot efieoii ve July 1.
Mr. Meares insisted oa the date he
bad suggested. The House refused to
let it stand until November.
Mr. Sturkie’s amendment was then
agreed to.
Mr; Gadsden then offered an amend-
menTto do away vrlth the second-class
fares, la order to pat this State , on a.
footing with the other Southern States.
Mr. Townsend moved to table this,
and it was done.
Mr. McLaurin offered to amend so ss
to make the road, carry separate sec
ond-class as welt as first-class coaches.
Mr. Sturkie opposed this, saying it
would work a hardship on all roads.
The amendment was thsmadoptecl.
Mr. Owen offered an amendment
looking to the elimination of all ref
erence to slavery from the bill, but
the House tabled it.
The bill was then ordered to a third
reading la this shape:
Sec. 1 That all railroads or railroad
companies engaged ia this State as
common carriers of passengers for hire
shall furnish separate apartments in

THE HISTORY OF IHE DISPENSARY LAW.
HOW IT WAR BROUGHT ABOUT.
This bread was made from flour that
was ground from Dakota wheat. This
salt came from the Indian reservation
in New York State. This Worcester
sauce came from London. These can
ned peaches came from California.
The" spices that are in this‘cake, the
cinnamon and mace and nutmeg came
from tfaeHoluccas or Spice islands in
the Indian Archipelago. And the
cloves that you use came from over
there. Cloves, you must know, are
the little short black hobnails that the
cobblers drive in the heels of peasants’
shoes and the spice resembles them so
much that it took their name. Cloves
are not the fruit nor the seed of the
tree, but is the bloom plucked and dried
before it has quite opened. A great
naturalist says that the clove tree Is
the most beautiful, the most elegant
and the moel precious of all kaown
trees. It ia about forty feet high and
lives to be 100 years old. Wouldn't
yon like to have oae in the front yard '

For six years the city of Athens, Ga.,
had tried total prohibition, and the
experiment was a farce. During the
last year of prohibition there were
over a hundred bar-rooms la the place,
many of them licensed by the U. S.
government, and run almost openly.
Some of the drug stores also sold whis
key, and being operated by physicians,
the law oontd not reach them. Whan
arraigned before court, they claimed
that the liquor had be*a proscribed

and the tlouor men hare never darea

The above is the true history of
the dispensary experiment, and to
Col. T. W. Riicker, now a cltixen of
Atlanta, Ga., and CapL John W.
Brumby, are due whatever praise or
t CBnrore it merits. —
Now to the introduction of this law
Into South Carolina. The Am* l*giklb*
ture that convened after the senior
editor of this paper moved to Columbia
was elected on the prohibition issue.
A separate box had been set aside for
the voters to express their desires, and
as the liquor men took but little part
in the contest they were overwhelm
ingly defeated, and r large majority of
the members were committed by their
constituents to prohibition. 1’artlaan
feeling then ran very high, aad Gov.
Tillman bad announced his Intention
to sign may bill the General Assembly
should pass regulating the liquor traf
fic. We believe that a majority of the
members fait that prohibit.on was Im
practicable, aad would prove a failure,
but they pledged their people to obey
Iheik commands as recorded at the
ballpt-box, aad the voters had decided
on prohitottaa.

He said this cigarette law wueid not
•toad the test of the cowrie The
youeg w*r* already protected If the*
would pae* II ae a rereeae measure,
then It was saiaet aad dlsoriwlaattag.
Mr tULuech replied, saying Ibal!
the smokiog of cigarette* was act to be
compared with the smoking of pipes.
He srgned that the dispensary law de
creases the drinking of liquor. Mr.
deLoach was a reformed cigarette
smoker himself.
Mr. deLosch’s amendment to make
the privilege tax 10 cents instead of
25 cents was then killed, after being
considered again, there being some
doubt as to its having been voted upon
at the morning session.
Mr. Ashley offered to amend by
adding the following words: “Nor
shall any cigar be sold without comply
ing with* the terms of this act, or pipe
be sold without a cane-root pipe stem f
nor shall any pipe be used more than
three days without being cleaned ; and
further that no man shall chew to
bacco more than once.” This c.'eated
loud laughter. Of course nothing eras
done with the amendment. The bill
was then ordered to a third reading in
this shape:
1 Section 1. That no package of
cigarettes sold or offered for sale shall
contain more than five cigarettes, nor
shall any package of cigarette paper
■old or offered for sale contain more
than 100 leaves of length and width
now used.
Sec. 2. That every such package of
cigarettes or cigarette paper shall
have therqon a privileged tax stamp
aa hereinafter provided for, which
•hall be famished to dealers in cigar-
treasurers of the counties of this fltate
at a cost of 25 cent* each, aad the pro

The previous queetion was then call

Nothing flatters aa old man's vaaity
more than to be appealed to for Infor
mation concerning such things. He is
proud to have the young people look
up to him aa a philosopher, a historian,
a scholar.
-Solomon says: u Get wisdom; get
understanding.” Lord Bacon says:
“ Knowledge is power,” and Shake
speare says : “Knowledge is the wing
with which we fly to .heaven.” Most
of us get our knowledge from books—
from the brain of other people who
have gone before; but that obtained
from thoughtful observation and expe
rience is the better kind. Long, long
ago I knew an old man who had no
books and could hardly write his name,
J et his knowledge of things around
1m—of the changes of the moon and
the forebodings of the weather; the
growth of plants; the habits t)f fowls
and fishes, and the-structure of ani
mals was remarkable. I was glad to
be a pupil under such a master.
The other day I thought to show off
a little of my learning at the dinner
table. It was not an extraordinary
dinner, and I asked what did it cost.
They Agured it out to be about 75 cents.
Then I remarked that the capital in
vested in procuring this unpretending
meal was not lees than five hundred
the* effered to amead so ml I lines af dollar* stadgasai
meat to five million men. for
many ships aad many railroads.

and smifo, “ Here, take my chair, sir.’’
Gen. Grant looked at him, and replied:
“ Ah, you need that chair much more
than I; keep your seat. I see you are
badly hurt.” The officer answered
good naturedly: “ If you folks let me

said, “I will see that one of our sur

and then stepped out of the room.. He
told one of the surgeons who was
dressing the wounds of our own men
to do what he oould for the Confeder

him afterward. He probably never
knew that he had been talking to the
f eneral in chief of the Yankee armies,

tioa was devised by Mr. Racker before
he had beard of the Gothenburg sys
tem. aad It te entirely original with
that gentleman.
The campaign was at oaoe started
on aew line*, and the prohibition
speakers all began to talk dispensary.
Of course it met with bitter opposition
from the advocates of barrooms. Hon.
Pope Barrow, ex-Unlted States Sena
tor, and now one of the leading law
yers of Savannah, denounced the
proposition from the stamp, and said
he would risk his legal reputation that
such a law would not stand the test of
-the Supreme Court. Capt. W. B.
Burnett, and other brilliant lawyers,
fought the proposition from every
stump in the county. But "the Idea
took with the people, and many
changes were made. The election
came off, and both sides were at the
polls. The vote was close and hotly
contested. Mr. Will Dorsey took off
his coat against the dispensary, and
had he been supported strongly woflld
have carried the day. But when the
vote was counted it was found that the
liquor men were defeated by only
seven majority.
In accordance with their promise a
committee of Athenians went to At
lanta to get their dispensary bill
through. Here again they met with
opposition, but ae the members were
assured’ that it was a compromise
measure, and the will wf th* people, It

act quickly, but as a rale It te best to
depend on the daily use of fruit juices.
The use of fruit is increasing yearly;
only n little ar ument is needed to
urge a more liberal use of it in sick
ness and in health. Nothing Is more
grateful to the convalescent than de
licious fruit juices, which have often
proved a specific in various diseases.
If our bilious friends would leave
their liver pills and study nature in
her most smiling and bounteous mood
and would allow her to tempt them as
Eve tempted Adam, they would take
to fruit and try pleasant, natural and
healthful methods. The best food te
the purest, the most nourishing and
that which requires the least outlay of
time and money in preparing and serv
ing. Nothing answers to this descrip
tion more perfectly than fruit. The
more dependence on fruit and the less
on meat and other stimulating food
the better for the health. If our diet
Is largely of fruit we require very little
additional liquid, and that contained
in feffit te the purest sort. The apple
