CURE IT OR KILL IT! , Each hour it becomes more evident that this legislntnre will be forced, for the mke ofTls own record if for no high er purpose, to take decisive action re garding the dispensary. The duty of the general assembly stands out clearly; It must act; that is the popular demand.. And theje are but two courses for aation—the dispensary must be cored Of its rottenness, or the dispensary mast be killed. What will the Legislature Hi * A do ? Are there ten honest men in that body who can sine.rely attest their be lief that any remedial measure {tossible to pass the body will be s> sustained and enforced that it will enre the evils existing, not in Colombia alone, but throughout South Carolina ? Is there one man in the legislature who, with regard for popular sentiment and the right of the msjority, can refuse to recognize popular condemnation in the vote by which sixteen out of eighteen counties have spurned 'he whiskey bribe-money and invited extra taxation in order to cast the dirty dispensary from their borders ? , An attempt to patch the dispensary will be but an evasion of responsibility; it will be but an attempt to deceive the people by holding out a promise of re form in which the promisers cannot sincerely have belief. The people de mand action, positive action, and to shirk striking the blow at the vitals of this monster of corruption, antagonism and nnrest will be moral cowardice and dereliction of dnty. r* '«■ In heaven’s name, has not the repn- tstion of this State been sufficiently bedraggled at home and abroad by this "moral institution I" What is its record if not that of debauchery 1 Left to it self and its influences not sternly com bated, to what depths would it not have carried public morals! And even with the efforts to counteract the evils follow ing in the train of such an iniquitous business conducted by a State, look *t the record of a dozen years. There have been more whiskey murders, more drunkenness, more crime; and' when except while poor South Carolina was under the£heel of the alien leading the ignerant negro, has there been one-tenth as much dishonesty iu public office! Pause, gentlemen of the legislature, and exAffliae the record. Th£ canse of the crookedness may be qtfestioued, but the crookedness is there and nothing inore need be expected in a State which seizes the monopoly of the whiskey business and debases the people by acting bar ’ The dispensary cannot be cured; it should be killed, and at once.—Colum bia State. house’s action ibst be inadvertently voted against bis own bi 1 but he quickly corrected himself as the house laugued good naturedly. The bouse passed Mr Laney’s bill declaring from December 23, to January 4 a Christmas holiday iu ad State col leges. The bill comet to tbj rescue of Wimbtop whose board refused to give a holiday this season. Mr 11 a^ es’ hill reenacting the game laws, which expired Usi February, was passed amended to as to move the closed season of two weeks to March 1. The bouse dispensary committee sub mitted ao even'y divi ded teport on the Morgan high license bi 1. The commit teemen favoring the bdl were Fisbhurue, Massey, Gainc« and Bass, and those against were Green, Dukes, Richards and Gaston. The house postponed the resolution, which includes a new dispen sary directorate in tomorrow’s elections. Both houses have indicated an indisposi tion to go into these elections yet. Ashley introduced s resolution re stricting immigration to this Bute to those who can speak Euglia 1 and re quiring a $6 per capita tax from them. WORK or THE SENATE. By a vote of 26 to >1 the Senate to day passed the Brooks bill eMsblidiing an iuflrmary at the hospital for the in sane for old soTdiers, each county t o be entitled to one inmate. Mr Mauldin’s bill to make Calhoun’s birthday a school holiday was killed by a rrsjority of one vote. Mr Brooks’ resolution asking Con gress to acquire and preserve the old Ninety-Six revolutionary fort was passed. - The Senate passe 1 a bill increasing the court stenographers’ pay over the State bv $400. —-r-r W F Hill Mr Stnkler was so pleased at tbe^ J Givheus fupt pf Be Sore to Use Only Cream of Tartar Baking Powder Food made with alum baking powder carries alum to the Stomach unchanged.

It then passed a bill allowing Aiken to vote on the qneition of a county court. It also phased the Confederate Home bfll giving that inst itution $2,000.
