SIX MUX TO DECIDE ISSUE. Dultant Bill Goes to Tree Conference. Senate Rejects House Clianges. Columbia, Feb. IS.?The senate last night refused to accept the house amendments to the DuRant liquor bill and the question of determining the disposition of liquor in South Carolina during the next 12 months will be determined by six men in free conference. The bill was returned from the house during the afternoon and was immediately sent back with notice of refusal to concur. Early in the night session a determined effort was made on motion by Senator Purdy to reconsider the vote of nonconcurrence and the ablest debating of the session ensued. The Purdy motion was finally laid on the table, 27 to 6. Those voting to reconsider were Senators Beamguard. j Epps, R. D., Friday, Griffith, Nickles, and Purdy. Conferees Named. The senate adjourned without appointing a free conference committee on this issue, but the president of the senate had already designated Senators DuRant, of Clarendon, Nicholson, of Edgefield, and Evans, of Marlboro, to serve in this capacity and the committee will be formally appointed Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Representatives Boyd, of Spartanburg, Neuffer, of Abbeville, and Mauldin, of Greenville, compose the house committee. In making the appointments, Speaker Hoyt explained that it was customary to appoint tne author of the bill, but Representative Richey, of Laurens, the original author of the "bone dry" bill in the house, had made special request to be relieved. During the discussion of the prohibition measures in the house yesterday, Representative Evans, of Newberry, suggested that the liquor question be submitted to the people ' next August, with three proposed dispositions of the issue: "bone dry" prohibition, qualified prohibition, or high license. Late in the afternoon session, Representative Mauldin moved to recommit the DuRant bill, as amended by the Boyd substitute. This was followed by a motion of Representative Boyd to lay the Mauldin motion on the table. The house sustained Mr. Boyd and sent the bill to the senate, thus applying the parliamentary clincher. The appropriation bill is also in free conference. Representing the senate are Senators Christensen, of Beaufort, Johnstone, of Newberry, and McCown, of Florence. The senate also appointed its apportionment of frimmittoomon on tho oonntv fiiin ply bill last night. These are Sherard, of Anderson, Epps, R. D., of Sumter, and Buck, of Florence. Several Bills Continued. i Several bills in the senate were yesterday continued until next session. One of these was the insurance measure to license fire insurance agents, this being one of the "seven sisters" bills to effect a readjustment of the insurance demoralization in this State. Another was to purchase 1,000 copies of Murray's criminal law, a reference book and manual, to be distributed among the magistrates of the State. The purchase would have caused an expenditure of $4,500, for which no provision had been made in the appropriotinn Kill A bill to be passed at the morning session yesterday was that which would require preferential enrollment of South Carolinians in State institutions before granting admissions to applicants from other States. Provisions do not apply to present enrollments. To restrict legislative action next week to urgent measures, a resolution was introduced last night, confining attention to pending liquor legislation, local and uncontested measures, the appropriation bill, the uniform textbook bill and free conference reports. The resolution can be reversed by majority vote. The free conference report on the Brice-Sinkler highway commission bill was adopted last night in the senate. Splinter Wounded Her Dignity.

Columbia, Feb. 19.?Claude N. Sapp, of Lancaster, at present assistant attorney general of South Carolina, will make the second race with W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, for the seat in congress made vacant by the death recently of Representative David E. Finley, of the Fifth South Carolina district. Complete returns from the district show Mr. Sapp to be about fifty votes ahead of T. B. Butler, of Gaffney, whom earlier returns indicated would be Mr. Stevenson's opponent in the second contest. This race is for the full term, beginning March 4. When the primary was ordered it was agreed that instead of holding a second primary the two candidates receiving the highest votes should go into the general election, the result of which would settle the contest. This election will be held Wednesday, February 21. Paul G. McCorkle, of Chester, re tains his large majority over two opponents for the short term and will go into the election Wednesday unopposed, by a Democrat, at least. STOLEN GEMS IN GARDEN. Workman's Spade Unearths Watches* Rings, Bracelets and Broaches. As one of the gardeners employed at the Canbury Riverside Promenade, Kingston on Thames, was turning up the earth in one of the flower beds he discovered several watches and bracelets among the soil. Sinking his spade deeper, he brought to light more jewelry, until he had accumulated enough to fill his apron. The articles, which were of gold, consisted of watches, rings (some set with precious stones), bracelets, bangles, broaches, shirt studs, sleeve links, etc., the whole, which is of considerable value, being buried only a few inches beneath the surface, and quite close to the public footpath. One of the gardeners informed the police, and two detectives carefully sifted the earth, in the flower bed, an operation which revealed the presence of some smaller articles of jewelry. The find was removed to the Kingston police station, where later the' property was identified as forming part of the proceeds of a daring burglary that was committed at a local jeweler's shop last fall, when thieves carried off about $1,500 worth of booty.?London Telegraph.

Ordinary candles may be used and, to prepare the wax, it is only needful to cut up the candles into chunks, taking away the wicks. The wax is then melted in a saucepan over a flame and, when the whole is liquid, the flowers may be treated. Each bloom should be quite dry on the surface, that is, there should be no rain or dewdrops on the petals. Take the blossoms separately and dip them for a moment or so into the liquid wax, constantly,moving them about. Immerse the blossom completely and also an inch or so of the stem. Then take them out and wave about in the air to dry. I Your Auto Safe?
