CherAw, Jan. 12.?Mr. Hal Dick, >; of Columbia, representing the Roym ster Guano company, was driving ? - from Chesterfield to Cheraw this afternoon. Soon after leaving Chesterfield a negro man shot at him Kb with a small rifle. The bullet went through the back of the buggy and the top, which was down, and lodged y in Mr. Dick's back, inflicting a very slight flesh wound. Mr. Dick drove back to Chesterfield and reported to Sheriff Douglass, who put his bloodi hounds on the trail and captured the T negro. No one can account for the negro's conduct, as he did not know Mr. Dick or the negro driver and o' neither had spoken to him. Affairs at Blackville. Blackville, Jan. 10.?Mr. Sidney S.

Variable Indian Voter. i "No party can safely count on the * vote of the Indian. The smallest 1 thing can change his view," said ( John N. Florer, of Bartlesville, I. T., J one of the oldest Indian traders in k the Territory. ( "Some time ago the Osage Indians ( were called into council. The Demo- k crats prepared a feast for them. * They barbecued beef and fed the < / Indians well. And the Indians were \ 'for' the Democrats. Then the Re- t publicans invited them to a barbecue and they were 'for' the Republicans. ( After it was all over the Indians met. 1 One of them addressed the meeting-, t " 'Democrat, good, feed Indian,' s he said. Republican, good, feed i Indian full.' "Then he concluded: 'Both good, 1 Indian go home.' c "And they went. They don't care t for any political party. You can't ? tell whether their votes will tend to r make the State Democratic or Re- ? publican." ? s An exchange tells of a Kansas man who is a doctor, a minister, an un- f dertaker and a tombstone dealer all c combined. f And nobody has ever t hinted at his being a combination in restraint of trade. s V-V , v ; . ' SOME LEGISLATIVE DOINGS WHAT THE LAW-iTAKERS ARE DOING AND MAY DO. A Resume of Last Week's Session of the General Assembly?Important Legislation Expected. Special to The Herald. Columbia, January 14.?The convening of the the General Assembly of the state has already begun to reopen most of the questions which were threshed out in the compaign last summer. The opening of the present session last Tuesday marked possibly the most interesting and aggressive fight for the speakership of the House which has been seen at the state house in a number of years. There were three candidates for this k ^vAonlf nf fiiA Illgll I1UI1UX , (X11U U1U UJU itowiu vx uiv election was in doubt until the last man, practically, had voted. Mr. R. S. Whaley, of Charleston, D. D. McColl, of Bennettsville, and J. W. Nash, of Spartanburg, were the men who announced their candidacy, and all day Monday there was a spirited canvass for votes for the respective aspirants. It was conceded that Mr. Whaley had the best chances for election, as the result of the election verified, for he was elected on the second ballot by a vote of 64 to 55, Mr. Nash withdrawing. Mr. Whaley makes an admirable presiding officer, exercising dispatch and judgment. His opponent for the honor, Mr. McColl?who, by the way, made a most excellent showing for it?is put down as a conservative dispensary man since his entrance into the House. There are some who say that the dis pensary was not an issue in the election of the speaker, while others maintain that it was dragged into it at the last minute. But a view of the vote shows that some strong opponents of the dispensary voted for Mr. McColl, while some advocates of the state rum mill voted 'for Mr. Whaley. Hon. Frank B. Gary, of -Abbeville, was elected chairman of the convention of representatives elect, and presided during the election of speaker. Mr. Whaley at once devoted himself to getting the House into good working trim, and the business of appointing the several committees was postponed until the day following. Hon. Tom C. Hamer was elected clerk, with Jno. S. Withers reading clerk, and R. N. Pratt chapIain, none of these old officers having opposition. Jno. S. Wilson was elected sergeant at arms. The message of Governor Heyward, who went out of office Tuesday, has been read in both branches of the General Assembly, while the first message of Governor Ansel is awaited with interest. It is expected that he will recommend a local option bill fashioned after the Morgan bill of last year, together with several other of the measures he advocated on the stump, rhe inauguration took place Tuesday, when both houses will convene in the House of Representatives, to listen to the ex-augural and inaugural addresses of Heyward and Ansel. Several bills have already been introduced in the House. In the Senate Governor Sloan presided at the opening, and the work of election of a president pro tern was immediately taken up after the new senators had been sworn in. rhe caucus of the hold over senators lad the night before nominated Cole L. Blease for the honor, and he was lominated?several senators, however, doing something without a precedent in the senate, namely, not noting at all when Blease's name was called. Subsequent developnents showed that there is a hitch somewhere as eight of the senators n the caucus say they voted for jrov. Mauldin?and there were >nly eight other votes to be cast. Somewhat of a mild sensation devolved when it began to be talked >n the evidence of this vote that Senator Blease must have voted :or himself in the caucus. He lenies it?and says things which vould "pie" a printer's form to ? ?? ^ U/\tTTA,TAM in y-V VMIAfll JilXIL XL. XXUWCVCI, I1C 13 L11C pi coxlent pro tern, and that is all there is ;o it. The complexion of the senate ;his year shows a very undecided status on the dispensary question, >oth sides claiming a small majority. vote alone will tell. . On the first lay of the session Senator Blease in;roduced a resolution endorsing the resident's action in the Brownsville iffair, calling upon our United States senators to back him up in it. By some this is regarded as a slap at fillman, but the senate passed'it by 11 to 16. The house later refused jo pass it by two to one. Many questions will come up this session?and the hard working part will not be reached until towards the last. The dispensary, of course, will be the one real great question, and will take up the time. The ten hour law, bucket shop bills?nine already introduced in the House?compulsory education, franchise law amendments, pure food law?and the lien law will again come up for repeal. Then the railroads will have their part of the attention. Already a two and a half cent fare bill has been introduced, and another matter of great importance to readers of the Herald will be the tax problem. Comptroller Jones recommended that the property be assessed on a basis of one hundred per cent, instead of sixty as now being done. He advanced the argument that it would lessen the taxes by increasing the net returns, making practically the same amount of money coming to thp ctfltp at. the same time eaualiz ing taxes. Dr. J. B. Black is chairman of the committee on medical affairs, and a member of mints and mining, commerce and manufactures, and of the dispensary. Mr. Garris has been appointed on the committees on incorporation, legislative library, and hospital for the insane. Mr. Miley is on internal improvements and engrossed bills. The Ayer house resolution calling for a test vote on the Dispensary question was postponed until next session, the motion being made byC. W. Garris, of Bamberg. J. R.
