The Colnmbia hotel and boarding house keepers had better look sharp. Next thing some statesman -will be introducing a bill requiring them to feed and lodge legislators free. .* \ -k Of all the fool bills offered in the legislature that of Mr. Rogers to require the railroads to transport office holders free of charge, is the worst It wa9 promptly killed. * * * Some people are making themselves rather ridiculous in regard to the English-Boer war in South Africa. Its a good thing to mind your own business. * * Mr. F. V. CaDers. of the Newberrv Veice of the People, has accepted a ffev position in the government printing office in Washington, aud his brother, Mr. W. R. Capers, formerly of Bamfe. berg, has taken charge of the Voice. IFp Success to him. The Johnston Monitor, has been pV enlarged to an eight-page paper, and r: has been really much improved. If | Lv Bro. Terrell will get a clear print hereafter, he will have a first-class weekly newspaper?the news feature is all right now. , The industrial edition of the Greenville Daily News, published by Kgft. Gibson Catlett, is one of the best things of its kind ever published in ibe State. The mechanical work is one hundred per cent better than on a similar edition of the Spaitanburg |fe Herald. ?' If the people want to dance, we | certainly have no objection, but we |P";" are entirely in accord with Representative Crurn's efforts to stop dancing in the State House. It seems to us that the South Carolina ipfClub is wealthy enough to have a hall of its own, and we hope the legislature will adopt Mr. Crurn's pj resolution. "nr. x i__x o_j. ;_ rt?i see the State farms sold and the convicts employed in giving the people . * better highways. Ir. support of the good roads doctrine he warmly advocated the passage of the wide tire bill. z The Orangeburg Times and Democrat talks silly when it speaks of Senator John L. McLanrin being L j ^ # "a traitor to his people." We would be glad for our contemporary to show us one act of Senator McLaurin's wherein he proved himself a traitor. That paper adds in the , same article: ^McLaurin wants to succeed Judge Simouton when he retires, and as Hanna and President McKinley have the appointment in their hands, McLauriu will do anything they want done." This is a groundless charge, and we must think that Brother Sims knows betv ter. Give us the proof that "McLafurin will do anything they want done." Bfeffe Pwe Bpeui last ottturuay iu vuiuujbia, and heard a variety of political [ suggestions, and among the many .candidates mentioned for State, offices was Senator S. G. Mayfiefd. He is being strongly talked of by his friends as.gubernatorial timber, but the Senator himself will giye no intimation of what course his political ambition will take. \ Senator R I. Manning, of Sumter county, has introduced a bill in the legislature, providing for the sale of the Stake farms. We hope to see * the State retire from farming, and ! , thus open np a way for convicts to 'A be employed on the public roads. No doubt this was Senator Manning's idea, as be is an enthusiastic worker for better highways, and introduced a wide bill last year. We publish in another column the dispensary act as passed by the Senate, and which is likely to be,come law. This bill is called by the Columbia State the amended Mayfield bill, and embraces all the changes for which ocr Senator couv tended. The changes in the method of buying liquors .and of electing the State board of control are the most important and, we believe, will < be of much benefit. ^Senator Mayfield takes a prominent part in the work of the legislafe tive branch of which he is a mem|ber, and his ideas are always along v the line of common 6ense and good judgment, He is an enthusiastic H worker for good roads, and hopes to Senator May field is working to ei change the present system of dis- 01 tributing the dispensary school fund P to the various counties, and we hope gj he will be successful. The distri- y butiou now is unjust and unequal, tc some counties who have no dispell- s' sarits getting the lion's share of the ^ ? o: profits. Horry has no dispensary, v yet that county gets a large part of oi this fund, and Mr. Mavfield wants n * r the dispensary profits to go into the 11 county funds instead of the State 11 ai treasury. Ham berg county received ? last year about $600, when the si omAiinf wo nrp insf-lv entitled to W MUIVUUU 't v m* v . v . v.. V v would have been about $4,000. The 0 only fair method is to give each ^ cotiniy all the profits its disnensa- v ries make, and leave out those noun- C) ties which have no (Jispensary. j, The Dispensary Bill. 11 Below we publish the full text of t| the dispensary law as adopted by the <1 Senate. The measure has not yet d passed the House, but it is likely to P be made a law with few changes. ^ The bill, although introduced by Si Senator Graydon, is practically n Senator S. G. MavfiehFs work, for e' there is nothing left of the Graydon 11 o bill except the name, it having been amended b}r our Senator in so many c, important particulars. S Section 1. That section 2 of an- P act entitled "An Act to provide for ai the election of the State Board of ^ Control, and to further regulate the e< sale, use consumption, transportatain, and disposition of intoxicating 11 and alcoholic liquois or liquids in P the State, and prescribe penalties for l) f ' 1 11 violation or dispensary jaws, lopo- iice the same, approved March 6, fcl 1896," as amended by the act ap- ^ proved 5th of March, 1897, bestrick ^ en out, and insert in lien thereof P the following, to be and to be known as section 2: P Sec.- 2.
