V GOES TO SENATE. "Bone Dry" Bill is Made Extra Dry. Out 1 aws I'ossessiou. Columbia. Feb. 9.?The house "passed the buck" to the senate yesterday, when it sent over the Richey bill in all its bone dryness. 64 to 4 9. The bill seesawed in sentiment and wandered hither and thither about the house with its destination more than once uncertain. It created a spirited debate on second reading, but went through slick as a whistle, 82 to 21. The majority then was such that there seemed a likelihood of overriding a possible veto. It lay calmly until third reading, when the house sprung a surprise, reversing itself, and recommitting the bill. This was thought to be an indefinite delay but tne committee on police regulations got busy, and meeting while the house was in session, returned it in its original form, thus eliminating the amendments applied last Friday, which made the bill water proof, air tight and bone dry, including a provision which made it unlawful to have even one drop in possession, except for medicinal, sacramental or scientific purposes. There was a filibuster Wednesday night. Yesterday morning the house refused to recommit the bill to the judiciary committee, and refused to allow the bill to remain in its original form, thus indorsing the bill as it passed its second reading. In this form it was sent to the upper house. \ ? Vote on Passage. A - ?

FOLK, Committee. Germany's New Cattle. "Cattle have increased since the beginning of 1916 more than 400,000. These figures indicate that Germany is entitled to count with certainty upon an increase in supplies of milk and fats," says an Overseas News Agency dispatch.

I Two Most "Sympathetic" Capitals in the World. I "While I am well-rooted in my French and Latin soil," writes Jules | Bois, in the Century, "I have travel-1 ed far through the world, and one! I may believe me when I say that I have found no city that more resembles Paris in its ways and the characteristics of its inhabitants than New York. Even London, admirable as it is, is more apart. This is not to say that New York is not profoundly original, but that between it and Paris there are parallel originalities. The gaiety of the streets; alreadv certain aspects of picturesque antiquity; the atmosphere of welcoming; the vivacious spirit, cordial hospitality, and disinterested enthusiasm for talent, merit, or novelty; a certain quickness to adopt and to discard ideas, art movements, and people; a restlessness at times too feverish; a love of pleasure, elegance, and luxury; a tendency to respond instantly and as one man to any great and international event? all this is what makes of Paris and New York, each in its own particular way, with its little faults, and grand qualities, the two most sympathetic, the most 'electric' capitals of the civilized world." Sweet Potato Profitable Crop. Clemson College, Feb. 7.?The sweet potato can be grown successfully for home consumption and local market in every section of South Carolina, and is a crop that should receive more attention. The sweet potato, being a non-perishable crop, makes a most desirable food crop for both man and stpck. Of the many standard varieties, the Nancy Hall is probably one of the best for table use.

Turning land (three times), $6. j Ten tons of manure, $20.. One ton of cottonseed meal, $30. Distributing (two days), $5. Ten thousand plants at $1, $10. Setting plants (three hands one day), $2.25.

Greenville, Feb. 17.?The Charleston & Western Carolina railway train from Charleston was forced to stop near Mauldins this afternoon because of an obstinate white pig standing defiantly between the tracks and refusing to budge until shooed off by the engineer with a stick, according to the report of a passenger tonight. When the train came to a stop it was discovered that the porter, Will Boyd, was missing, aEd inquiry at the next telegraph station revealed that the negro had fallen off a coach near Laurens and bad broken his jaw. He Dropped the Subject. "Ten thousand dollars for a dog!" he exclaimed, as he looked up from his newspaper. "Do you believe anyone ever paid.any such a price, Maria?" "I'm sure I don't know, James," she returned, without stopping her needlework even for a moment. "Does the paper say that much was paid?" "Yes, there's an article on valuable dogs and it speaks of one of them that sold for $10,000. I don't believe it." "It may be true, James," she said quietly. "Some of those blooded animals bring fancy prices, and there is no reason why the paper should lie about it." ? i- - a ? ?-?i?x ^ j. "i Know tnat .Maria, uui just uiinn. of it, just try to grasp the magnitude of that sum in your weak feminine mind. You don't seem to realize it. Ten thousand dollars for a dog!

She went on calmly with her sewing, while he fumed and sputtered for a moment and then dropped the subject, especially the "weak feminine" part of it.?Brooklyn Eagle.
