For the Columbia Record to read the dispensary commission, Mr. Lyon or anybody else a lecture on ethics is like the devil quoting Scripture. ? # It might be interesting to know why the senate changed its vote on . the repeal of the lien law. But we can't explain it. " - Attorney General Lyon told Editor Koester that he was an "infamous liar," and Mr. Koester says Mr. Lyon took a drink with him. When gentlemen meet compliments pass. It begins to look like some persons |, . are going to be convicted or at least put to a whole lot of trouble to explain their connection with the State ?|y. dispensary. Let the good work go S&v nn ? Attorney General Lyon called Edl y'-. itor Koester a "dirty and infamous liar." Editor K6ester says he does ! not care to kill such "vermin.", Anft other instant of the retort courte\ ous. ' The claim of the Carolina Glass Company, of Columbia, against the | . State dispensary commission is $23,0: > 000. It has been shown that this concern overcharged the State. Now, let the commission make good. If it fe will pursue the same policy in regard m to this Columbia concern that it has fcr with the liquor houses out of the *fc': State we shall have no reason to doubt its good faith. Treat all alike, f r - no matter whether-the "grafters" jjgf are from Ohio or South Carolina. Severe Storms Over the South. Elx: Memphis, TeTw., Feb. 14.?Severe wind and rain storms visited the ^ - South and Southwest today, causing |v loss of life and much damage to property. In Smith county, Texas, sev.eral people were killed by a tornado, including C. A. Francis and wife; p ,' Mrs. W. Francis and her child, and a ? negro name Mose Lee. Much damage was wrought by the storm, small j|| /buildings and outhouses especially suffering. |fi Many points in Mississippi report damage by heavy winds and an un?* ? usual downpour of rain. At Mossville, near Laurel, several lives are reported lost. At Jackson, the heaviest rain exf perienced in years fell. It was acpg. 9ompanied by teriffic wind and lightpN v ning. ? N At Memphis, the downfall of rain iHv which has continued for three days, ceasecl at 4 o'clock' this afternoon, and the weather is growing colder.; Wire communication with Hot fi- Springs, Shreveport, La., and Texas 'V' points is completely prostrated. Hot Repty from Blease. Columbia, February 14.?Senator |rv; > Blease arose to a question of person al privilege in the Senate to-day and : > replied to the testimony by Lewis W. Parker before the dispensary commission yesterday to the effect that Samuel J. Lanahan told him that g Blease represented William Lanahan & & Sons before the dispensary board. sk , Blease alleged a conspiracy between Gov. Ansel, Mr. Patton, of the commission, Mr. Parker and a newspaper fr correspondent from Greenville to injure him politically. He read affidavits from the Lanahans and others ;< contradicting Mr. Parker. Mr. Blease said: "Why did Parker wait until Lanahan was dead? I do not say that Parker is a liar, bu^an' ahan says Parker is a liar. If*Lananan said that I was his agent he lied, and if Parker says that I was Lanahan's ae-Gnt. he is a liar. The man that will come to my face and tell me that I was Lanahan's agent the world -will find out whether he and I are both brave men or not. "This summer Gov. Ansel will answer to the people for the conspiracy between him and his Greenville allies and newspaper correspondents. He will not only answer politically, but he will answer to me as a man, face to face, be he governor, or ^e he what he may." m Jim Crow Law in Oklahoma. Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 16.? The Jim Crow law went into effect today on street cars and railroads alike. The street cars are equipped with movable signs onl^l that being all the provisions intended on the part of the companies. There is no law to prevent whites and blacks riding together on the rear platform of Hie cars and the conductors will not attempt to separate them there. All railroads have arranged their depots and cars to comply with the law. No trouble is anticipated on account of the law. LEGISLATIVE DOINGS. What the General Assembly Has Done and is Uke'.y to Do. The senate killed Mr. Miley's bill to regulate the use of slot machines. The senate killed the bill providing for the repeal of the income tax law. Important amendments to the county dispensary law have been adopted by the house. The Senate has passed a bill increasing the pay of members of the general assembly to $200 a year. The senate has passed a bill increasing salaries of all State officers. The governor is to get $4,000 a year. Tuesday night the house passed a bill abolishing the immigration department, but the matter will come up again. The cAnntp killed without ceremony the bill introduced by JVIr. Rogers, of Marlboro, to abolish the immigration department. ? The senate has passed to a third reading the bill reducing passenger fares on railroads. Senator Black voted for the bill. On Monday the house passed the senate bill creating two new judicial circuits, so we now have twelve circuits instead of ten. i The house has passed to a third 1 reading Mr. Garris's bill to prevent ( the introduction of the Mexican boll weevil into this State. The senate killed the rate bill of Senator Toole, providing for a re- ' duction in passenger fares. Senator 1 Black voted for the bill. I The house has passed a bill creat- ( ing the office of insurance commissioner for this State, to be appointed by the governor at a salary of $1,900 a year. The house has passed the bill raising the State tax levy to 5\ mills. This was made necessary by the increased appropriations of the generol oecamVilw Ui CW^VAUVAJ Senator J. B. Black voted againstthe proposition to increase the pay of members of the general assembly to $200 a year, but the Senate passed it by a vote of 21 to 9, Last Saturday was slaughter day in the senate, and that body killed fifty bills. THe pet measures of many senators and members of the house were disposed of in short order. The house has passed Mr. Miley's bill, which requires mutual insurance companies to deposit a bond for $10,000 with the State treasurer for the protection of their policy holders. On Wednesday the Senate passed the bill repealing the lien law, and on Thursday that body completely reversed itself and . killed the bill. So the lien law stands for this year anyway. The senate has passed a bill providing for twelve judicial circuits instead of ten as at present. If this bill finally becomes law it will necessitate the election of two additional judges and solicitors. The bill of Senator.Otts to submit the question of prohibition or dispensaries to the people of the State in a special election was killed by the Senate. Senator Black voted for the bill. The senate has passecNi bill relieving the State treasurers from liability on their bonds for the thefts of bonds by clerks in the office. . The bill will affect Messrs. Timmerman, Bates, and Jennings. Mr. Jennings has already paid the amount charged against him. The senate passed a resolution that the general assembly adjourn the second of March, which would make the members work several days without pay, but the house killed it, the members of the lower body evidently tVifl iHao ftf onVincr t.Vipir 11UV 1010111115 U1V 1UVM Wi &. 0 ? valuable services to the State for even a few days for nothing. The senate has passed the appropriation of $15,000 asked for by the attorney general to prosecute those charged with dispensary graft. Senator Black voted for the appropriation. Senator Blease had an amendment put in which prohibits any member of the general assembly being employed as attorney in these cases. The house has passed a bill providing that dispensaries shall be closed at once in case an election is held in any county and the vote is against the dispensary. It also provides that no dispensary funds can be used in the election, which will prevent the county boards from employing attorneys to defeat the will of the people as was done in Kershaw. Mr. Garris at first opposed the bill, but when an amendment was made allowing the county boards six months to close out their stock on hand, he withdrew his objection. Mr. Miley, however, opposed the bill all the way through. Liquor Question in Senate. Washington, Feb. 13.?The liquor question was injected into the consideration of the criminal code bill in the senate today when Senator Clay of Georgia attacked a provision of the bill which he declared changed the existing law to the extent of permitting the mailing of liquor into prohibition States or counties. This was brought about by leaving the prohibition of that practice out of the law as revised by the code. ' 'Liquor houses,'' said Senator Clay, "are relying upon this change to enhance their business." After considerable debate, on motion, the old law was substituted for the revised sections with a penalty added. jf DID YOU jj | KNOW!

In which the effects of mediaeval superstition and suggestion are curiously mingled, has come under the notice of the doctors of the Rudolf hospital, in Vienna. A Hungarian tradesman named Weiss was recently admitted to the hospital suffering from an illusion which caused him continually to lament the loss of his salvation. It appears that some weeks before Weiss was sitting with some friends in a coffeehouse in Pressburg when the conversation turned on religion and a future life. , Weiss declared that there was no such thing as a future life or salvation and add*d, "I would sell my chance of salvation for $2." A Jew named Krauss accepted the offer on condition that the transaction was pat in writing. A regular deed of sale conveying Weiss' salvation in the next world to Krauss was thereupon drawn up, executed by Weiss and duly witnessed. Krauss took the deed and handed over the $2 to Weiss, who boasted that it had been easily earned. A fortnight later Weiss lost his wife, who was killed in a carriage accident He regarded this accident as a sign of the divine anger at his impious bargain, and the idea so preyed on his mind that his reason gave way, and he was taken to the hospital. Professpr Obermayer, who had charge of the case, on hearing this story from the man's relatives, decid*?" affoiifa rtf /innntof RI177PS CU IV UJ WUG vuuvw v* tlon and advised Weiss' relatives to recover the deed of sale. Krauss, however, declared that since he had bought the other man's salvation his own business had prospered exceedingly, and he refused to give up under $200. Weiss was unable to pay this, but finally the chief rabbi of Pressburg, to whom the matter had been reported, Induced Krauss to hand the deed back to the sick man on receipt of $100. The effect was most marked. Weiss, reassured as to the fate of his soul, immediately improved. A neW deed was drawn up, in which Krauss solemnly reconveyed the other man's salvation to him. This was witnessed by two doctors, and Weiss has now been discharged as cured. Made a Record. in vo' sermon. Brother Dickey, dat Jonah wuz eat np by de whale?" "I sho' did."
