That te a email eoal that ha tee to eee hie neighbor proeper. eee Walterboro hat good echoole, good cbarchee, good people, good wafer, and is a good town to lire in. ' P J « If yen are going to lire in Walterboro, why not do some thing to promote ite ad ranee men t ? Gire just a little cf your time to the public service. Speak a few words in favor of the town where your life work is, where your wife and children live and where your property is located. • • * W. J. Myrick. W. J. Harter, Joseph Halford, MiUldge Lee, Wade Sanders, C W Hogg aad Tom Higginge of Barn well county have been arrested for lynching Joe and Frank DeLoach. Har ter and Lee were constables whose duty 9 it was to protect the prisooere. They will have a hard time before they ee- oape from the vigorous prosecution of -Solicitor Davis. • e * The dispensary is the great question before the people now. Ton hear it asked 00 every hand: “What will the legislature do with tbe dispensury?” And nobody knows. Every member has hie own net ion as to what ooght to be done; so it is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty what will V n p be the outcome. One thing is agreed,* however, and that is: Something ooght lobe done either purify or abolish the institution. • • 0. We desire to commend the ladies of Walterboro for their interest in the movement to secure an up-to-date, well-furnished infirmary for Walter boro. There is no doubt about the need of such an institution, and there j " « is no part of our population better qualified to push it to a successful end than the ladies. Tbe ladies of Columbia have only recently built and equipped n hospital in that city, and we are cure th» ladies of Walterboro will accom plish ee much for our town. Bat the led lee ought not to be left to do it nil themselves. Every cidxen in town ooght to come to their aesietenos and contribute whatever is nn noses it to puch forward to a successful and eaily completion this worthy and much needed institution. Let everybody help. It i» gratifying to aU good dtiaeas to note the increasing regard for law and order within this State within the past jmw. The pnlpit, the pcem and many organisations have dona good work and touch credit. Bat there is yet to be done.

They will be put on trial for their lives, will be forced to employ counsel and spend a lot of money and time. We do not *• know anything of tbe facte in the case, but one thing it certain, the trial of these people, whether they ere convict ed or not, will prove e powerful preven tive of lynching in that neighborhood hereafter. We egaie congratulate Gov ernor Heyward for his bold and deter mined stand against lynchers and lyninginga. There will be mighty few lynching! in South Carolina when the members of the mob know for a certain- 1 ty that they will be tried for murder every time the life of e human bet^g is thus taken. THE LEGISLATURE. Almost the entire week in the lower house was spent in discussing the dis- denaary question. There , were many strong speeches for and against it. The speakers had good audiences for tbe people of the city tamed out and filled the galleries and the spaces around the railing. The discussion centered on the bill introduced by Col B. A. Morgen of Greenville, the principal feature of which is to allow the counties to vote whether th^y will have dispensary, high license or prohibition. It proposes to abolish the State dispensary, and permits each county that wants a dis pensary to run ite own liquor business Tbe county boards of control ere to buy the whiskey and have complete charge of the business without any interference from a State baud or any body else. It propose* * to have a purchasing board in each county instead of ooe for the whole State as now constituted. The high license feature was stricken out by amendment. When the vote was taken, the hones refused to strike out the en acting words by a vote of 68 to 47. So it seems that the house will pass the bill ai amended, but it remains to be seen what the senate will do with it. The house killed the compulsory education bill by a majority of only two votes. — There were a great many local bills taken up and disposed of. Monday being aalesday, both houses adjourned until Tuesday 18 o’clock end » practically nil the members went home. •action between the Aabepoo River and the O. 4k 8. R. R. under tbe general stock law hqs passed both houses and will beocme law. Senator Peurifoy was appoiated a member of the committee on the part of the senate to go to Charleston and as certain tbe needs of the Citadel as to more space, the advisability of purchas ing the guard house, and what conces sions the dty council of Charleston will make. 1 be members of this committee from the house are Messrs T. T. Maul din and P E. Hutto. Mr Fishburue’s bill to pay the probate judge a salary of 6800 has passed both houses. This bill was amended so as to pay the master $100 additional. OUTLOOK IN THE SENATE. Biggest Pert of Its Work Yet to be MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST. The delegation from Colleton has re duced the tax levy for the present year by one mill, so if there are no changes, the levy will be five mills for ordinary county and ooe mill far past indebted ness. If Auditor Murray can eooceedin getting ell the property on the tax books, the levy could be' still further reduced. It is ’ understood that the one mill lor peel indebtedness will pret* vide enough funds to wipe oat the county’s old debt, so next year the levy can he affMn reduced. There are no debts brought over from lest year, and Colleton can soon rejoice in tyeiag so* nmiy onli of dsbt. The bill aathorijriaf the supervisor to with which to pay cash. Columbia, February 4.—Special: The heaviest part of tbe Senate’s work is Yet to come, but this doss not ■m>m« that tbe pest four weeks have been without results. While there has been little extended discussions. Senators have been paying the closest attention to the work on the Calendar, which is shown by the frequent questioning ot the advisability of passing or the con stitutionality of strictly local meas ures. Ills rather unusual for these matters to be looked into at all except by the Senator particularly interested, but this session it has been noticed that feu bills have been allowed to go by default, aa it were. AU this shows that even if only comparatively brief reports of proceedings have been necessary the Senate has nevertheless not been idle or neglecting to give careful consider- ation to every biU on the Calendar. UtruSAL TO nXPKAL SPECIAL COURT ACT. Amongst measures finally disposed of so far as the Senate is concerned one of chief importance was the defeat of tbe bill to abolish the statute providing for extra or special terms of court. Few Senators spoke in favor of the custom or system of haring these courts, but it was held that they are necessary, but whether they are or not, the Constitution rsvuires that the courts be provided for. This settles it, though had it not been for that the Senate would have voted fa vorably cn tbe bill. In the couree of the debate Senator Hudson did some plain talking in reference to the way judges indulged lawyers in the long- winded speeches and in dilatory prac tices generaUy. SALARIES OP SOLICITORS. Another bill of much importance was that to increase the salaries of solicit ors. The bill fUnUy pa seed, hot up to the very last amendments were offered with the object of defeating thy purpose of the bUL As passed, how ever, the bill will not go into effect un til 1907. If it becomes law it wiU reduce and not increase the ■daries of two solicitors, those of the let and 9th cir cuits. THE REFORMATORY »ttj discussed at acme length, but no vote has been rue chad. There is A greet deal of opposition to too bill as it stands thonghto the general purposes of it thereie. perhaps, little objection.
