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.

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. A few in sirs s|
egroee, John and Frank Deloach,

several other arrests will be made. 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.

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. A
number, of amendments have been oflbr-
ed to once defects, bnt the bill from the
