The Senile and II it aeoma
could not agree on any dlspenaary leg
islation, and so the session baa endid
with the dispensary right where it
was when the Leglaiature first met lo
January. The Senate. Wedneedt#
morning read, tor the second time,
the Raysot-Manning bill, and on
Thursday passed It and sent it to the
Hpodh for concurrence, which the
House refuted. The bill was sent to
the House not to be voted on, but as
Hated above for consurrende, as the
hill was rearlly a house m»a*u'e.‘Thli
status was obtained by affiilng to the
title of the. Morgan bill which has a>
~ ready passed the house, the body of
the Rsyeor Manning btH, which orig

the issue would bs in the campaign,

Eflrd, who made an untuco*esful mc-
tion shortly before to limit all speech

. mDendosents to the Rsysoi-M nnlng
T) mil. These were adopted but smeu -
of keeping that bouquet on the Con-
garea river. Ha would haver see the
dlspenaary in Anderson If the State
dispensary was allowed to live. He
wanted the senate again and again
bald responsible for the dispensary on
the Oonsarea.
Mr. Laney thought this a pure
waste of time and wanted the bill kill
ed. The Booker bill simply provides
for the abolition of the State dlsper *■
sery and tbs option between prhibi-
rton and county dispensaries.

of the embarkation of Amerlean sol

The chief cause of anxiety, socoi-
