The senate has passed an amendment
to the gallon-a-month law, mak?
ing it lawful for a person to order
either two quarts of whiskey per
month or sixty bottles ^of beer. The
measure has also passed the second
reading in the house. Why allow
any whiskey or beer at all to
come into the State? By cutting it
all out, the officers will have a chance
to run down the blind tigers.

\ Hon. JL. D. Jennings, the live wire
who made the primary so interesting
duHng the last campaign, says that
he has never had, and does not now
have any intention of becoming a
candidate for governor Jthis summer.
This sets at rest various rumors that
; have been published in several papers
to the effect that the former
Sumter mayor expected to chuck his
hat into the gubernatorial ring
against Governor Manning.
Some legislator has introduced a
resolution which requires an investigation
to be made to'ascertain if ''any
of those claiming to be representa*
tives of the press and enjoying the
\
privileges of the press table . * * are
members of the directorates of cor-}
porations, and therefore, more inter-,
ested in obstructing legislation than
in giving correct news of the proceedings
of this body to the public."
Horns of Panurge! Whoever heard
of a "representative of the press" being
a director in a corporation? It
may be possible in far-away Arcadia,
but in South Carolina? It is unbe Mm
lievable.
By all means let's investigate.
"One hundred years ago, 1816, according
to the records there was no
summer in this country," says the
Greenwood Index. "January of that
year was so mild there was no need
of fires even in New England. Snows
and sleet began in March and continued
for months. There waw ?.
blizzard in June and plenty of frost
in July. The weather resumed its
normal condition in September."
Perhaps history, or rather the
weather, is repeating itself. There
were only two or three winter days
in January, and Monday was the first
day in February fires were needed.
It is to be hoped that the centennial
* celebration of that memorable year
is not to take the same form this
summer. s
No Rural Credits.
Columbia, Feb. 15.?In spite of
earnest efforts from Senator Sherard
to get his rural credits bill through,
the senate tonight adopted an amendment,
proposed by Senator D. Reece
Williams, providing for a commission
to be created to study the question
of rural credits and to report
their findings to the general assembly
in 1917. This means that there
will be no rural credits legislation at
this session, a majority of the senate
thinking that it would be better to
get all the information possible before
enacting this legislation. Senators
Sherard and Banks thought that
~ the rural credits legislation ought to
be enacted immediately.
He Didn't Worry.
Mrs. McCauther?Here is a note
saying that if the bill is not paid, the
gas will be shut off.
Mr. McCauther?Let 'em shut it
off. Who cares?
"But what will we do?"
"Put in electric lights.
"But in time bills for them win
come in."
"Oh, well, probably something else
will be invented by that time."?
