WBDNUSDAY JAN. aj' ipetf. ■ "■ 11 t WHAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS DONE AND EXPECTS TO DO. Columbia, Jan. 21.—Special: Jnst about two weeks of the legislative ses sion have gone by. In that time there has been considerable work done. The eeesion thus far has been one of the very busiest in recent years. It has not tieen so much that bills have been adopted and new laws have fonnd their way to the governor’s office, but many measures have been started in that di rection, bnt, what is best of all, most of the propositions after being discussed, have been defeated, and the statute book has been left without further com plications. 0 There has been the utmost good feel ing on the part of members. There is mo sign of factional feeling, the fact of the matter is there has not been for years, and those who have thought of unfurling such a flag have noted the •end experience of some of their prede cessors and have undertaken to find new methods of achieving prominence. During the entire two weeks there has not been a harsh or ugly speech on the floor of either house, and from the present tone there is not likely to be. Tomorrow's session promises to he brief. The sessions bigin at noon and at 9 o'clock the members hear the din ner call At present the committees are hard at work, and it would be use less to undertake to hold afternoon or night sessions. The elections for the present session, except those connected with the State dispensary, hate been scheduled for Tuesday, and there is naturally a great deal of interest in the results. Both the house and senate have de clined to hold any dispensary elections for the present and the present outlook is thnt should there he any dispensary elections they will be in the very last days of the session, when it will have been determined beyond cavil what, if any, dispensary legislation will be enacted at this session. The prospects are that the elections in this connection will not amount to anything much, ex cept in the event of entire failure to obtain any legislation whatever. The dispensary folks are working with zeal and Intelligence for the bill offered by the dispensary committee, and which will represent the concerted effort of the friends of the system. This bill provides fpr the same machinery and conduct of the business as if half of the State had not already gotten ‘•from under” the dispensary system. Objection has been made to the Mor gan local option bill on the ground that . it may involve the counties that have already voted the dispensary out in new elections. If such he the case and this is not desired, it can readily be amend ed. It is also suggested that the oon stitutional provision as to the granting of licenses is somewhat different to the provisions of the Morgan hill, bnt if licenses should be permitted, it is sag geeted that there would hardly be any counties that would take this option as against county dispensaries, such as are in operation in Georgia. There has not yet been any Legisla tion on taxation. The disposition is to await the Anal report and suggestions of Comptroller General Jones, who is held In high eeteem by the members. It is likely that tiie appropriations will be ramie by the assembly, hot that the State levy will he left' for future con sideration. The general assembly will have adjourned before it is poetible to aseertain the result of the new assess ment of property in the State, and it it the opinion of Mr Jones that beat thing is to indicate, in the appropria tion Mil, what money is to be expended, aad^hea leave it to the-Comptroller General, and perhaps others, to fix the of the ma; M uii*’.' Winthrop < ’o ooocer»»Ad rp: v requiring the !».» holiday. Meml* s • the bill now is, . < urging the d -fe i ‘ » to b» much „ l.riT’CT’s bill x Christina* »' the senate, where received letters of the bill on the va ground th<it it will injure discipline, and making the further statement that it is intended to further coaeolt the wishes of the parents, and asking that in the meanwhile that there be no each legislation. This is not the first time that such legislation has been suggested. Several years ago an Act was passed abolishing fraternities at all institutions receiving aid or money from the State. This bill was offered by Mr Garris and adopted with very little opposition. The bill of the dispensary investigat ing committee giving it farther aathor ity, will go through the legislative mill in a few days. The senate amended the house bill, and the house is now expect ed adopted new amendment to agree to the by the senate to the house bill. The only material amendment is that the senate struck out the amendment of Mr LaPitte requiring the committee to wind up its work before the end of the session. The objection to this was that the committee is expected to have all accounts due audited, which will take considerable time, and the suggestion is made that witnesses might leave the State for twenty days and if they remained out of the State until after the end of the session of the Assembly that the committee would be powerlesi to get hold of the witnesses. WHAT THE SENATE DID. The senate had only three real work ing day* last week, Thursday being chiefly devoted to memorial exercises in honoc of the late Altamont Moses, Fri day being Lee's birthday, and a State holiday, and Saturday being taken as a day off. The dispensary investigating commit tee bill was finally passed, practically as it came from the Reuse, there being some minor amendments, one of im portance being that the treasurer must pay no claims unless approved by the committee. There has been no real op position to the bill, bat parliamentary prooeednre and other slight circum stances have caused two weeks to be taken up in the passage of the bill. usage of With it through it is expected that the committee will get back to work, thongh there ii a feeling that it will not complete its work before the end of the present session, as much as it is desired that it might. The intimation was made in the discussion that it was possible the committee would have to go out of the State, or at any rate, might have to secure witnesses from other States, which would prolong the investigation. Other dispensary matters coming up in the Senate were: The un favorable report pf Senator Talbert’s bill to abolish the dispensary, the bill going on the Calendar; Senator Oole L. Blease's bill to repeal the Brice law and the dispensary committee’s bill as a substitute to the Raysor bill. As to industrial legislation nothing final was accomplished. Senator John son’s strike and lockout bill, which has been before the Senate for three years, had what might be called a test vote, the Senate refusing to strike out the enacting words by 98 to 18. This, how ever, by no means indicates that the bill will flnallv pass the Senate through it has done so before. There appears to be renewed and stronger opposition to it this session, and thongh Senator Johnson has made unceasing efforts to have the Senate take a final vote he has not succeeded. The bill is scheduled for farther discussion Wednesday. The Senate committee has not yet re ported on the proposed ten-hoar labor law for cotton mills yt on that relative i”—*' » to educational and other qualifications for children working in cotton mills. Each of these questions have been threshed over several times before, and there is little special interest taken in them. The bills Appear to have been the products of those who have theories on these subjects, bat as the hearing on them showed there was no general de mand for them, but on the other hand ranch opposition to tliem, and as each has'been decided at previous sessions advnrselg^ the lack of special concern is, perhaps, explained, i Well's bill providing for the adjustment of claims few freight, though debated at length, was finally with drawn- This would have taken off the Calendar of the Senate all railroad leg islation, hot Senator Johnson has in troduced another providing that sleep ing cars, refrigerating lines and street railways be placed under the jarisdie* tioaof tiie railroad commission. This hill has not yet been reported by the Mauldin’s bill to make Caiboua’s birthday a spe cial day for teaching Sooth Owolina history in the public schools. The bill killed one day, but the next that vote was reconsidered, and the bill having been off acd on the Calendar several times, again adorns iu Senator Brooks’ bill to require school trustees of each district to list all dogs in it for taxation was passed, bnt his other bill to devote such tax to school purposes in the district when collected, was defeat ed. Senator Brice introduced a bill to pro vide for public high schools, and Sena tor Raysor introduced a memorial in favor of compulsory education, bat there to no bill before the Senate on that subject unless the Rouse bill to throe compulsory education as to cotton mills reaches it Senators listened with e great deal of interest to the arguments for or against the bill to revoke the charter of Monl- trieville. As said in the arguments, conditions there are peculiar to it, and this canted the discussions to be clovely listened to. The Senate committee has not made a report on the bill. Amongst other matters affecting Sullivan's Island is a bill, introduced by Senator Von Kolnitz, giving the United State’s juris diction over certain portions of it Senator's Brooks’ bill to establish s Confederate Rome was passed. Au thorities of the Hospital for the Insane are to provide for it on grounds under their jorisdiotion, the expenses to be paid from unclaimed pensions, thongh this will hardly be enough in itself to make the horns a great success. Senator Brice introduced a bill to re- qnire theHospUal for the Insane to es tablish departments for epileptics and inebriates, providing for their especial accommodation. One or both of three daseee of unfortunates are heavy drains on the reeources of the Hospital Monday to usually more or lesson “off day” and Tuesday to election day; so there willbe only four dare of real work for this week but as foundations have been pretty well kid, there is no reason to expect anything bnt the strictest at tention to genuine legislation daring these four days and from then on.— News and Courier. £ c - - BESTFITTlSfi.

To the People of Walterboro. The articles appearing in some of our leading publications hare created a good deal of discussion in Walterboro in regard to advertised medicines, their reliability and power to cure, and as a local druggist, I, J. O. Brady, want to say to the people of Walterboro that I believe one of the most reliable medicines that we have known in our drug experience, extending over a long period, is Vinol, the cod liver prepara tion, made without oil Vinol is not a patent medicine; every thing in it to printed on the beck label •of every bottle, and it actually does contain in g highly concentrated form ail of the medicinal, curative elements of cod liver oil taken from fresh cod's lifers, and without a drop of of the sys tem clogging oil to upset the stomach and retard its work, and this to why it to fast superseding old-fashioned ood liver oil and emultions. Inasmuch aa Vinol il therefore the latest scientific improvement of an old and standard remedy it to the greatest strength creator in the world for old •people, weak, sickly women and child ren, nursing mothers and after a severe It J ohfonio eolds and aff pahnonaiy troub les.

If this is not convenient, you can do so yourself by observing the following directions: If it runs fast, move the regulator to wards the letter S; if slow, toward the F. All watches even of the same make, are not affected alike by the regulator, but the following is an ap» proximation: The distance from one mhrk to the next on the index will alter the time about one minute per day. In the higher grades, having the micrometer regulator turn the screw to the left to make them ran slower, and to the right to make them run faster. To get the best time from your watch, have a regular time for wind ing, and keep ii as near as practicable, in the same position. It can be hung up at night; or if worn in a vest pock et, the garment can be hung up. It is not a good plan to put yonr watch under your pillow. Should your watch stop, do not shake it violently, and never attempt to force the wheels forward. Serioni injury is liable to result from either of these practices. Take it to a watch maker without trying to start it It will be an assistance to him' in ascer* taining the canse of stoppage to see it in that condition. Should you notice the balance wheel become sluggish in its mortion, it is a certain indication that some thing is wrong. It should be seen to at once. * @ARE GP A WATCH: Always carry your watch with the face next the penon; this lessens the danger of breaking the crystal. A guard or chain should always be worn with a watch, that it may not slip and fall to the ground. Never expose the, movement where it to damp. In winding hold the watcli steanilv in one hand and wind with the other. Always have you watch maker much dust, oftener. You save noth ing by allowing a watch to run longei without overhauling.
