The bill was finally killed. This has been the only measure in reference to gen eral tax return which has so far been discussed. Senator Manning’s bill relative to boards of assessors, which purposes to amend the present law in varions par ticulars, has not been touched and there are so many special orders ahead that it cannot be said when it will be reached. rfcx 4, g. o. university” namk. Senator Marshall's bill changing the name of the South Carolina College to the South Oarolioa University, passed with little opposition. What there was of it was based on the idea that it meant an increased appropriation. It was said that no such increase was. contemplated, but were it asked it is by no means certain that the Senate would refuse it. EDUCATIONAL hatters. Outside of local education bills, some of which some Senators hold are un constitutional, hut which, however, passed, and the Christinas holiday bill, the great question of education has re ceived little attention so far. There is one Senate bill on the subject of great importance, that of Senator Brice, to provide for public high school. The proposition has not been discussed so far. ASTLcX FOR DRUNKARDS. The Senate has voted favorably on the bill to create an inebriate asylum in connection with the Hospital for the isane. Inebriates are now treated at that institution, but facilities are Inad equate for the purpose. Favorable ac tion was also taken on the bill to create a hoardlof pardons, although this bill has not been finally disposed of. ALL DISPENSARY BILLS have been made special orders for Wed nesday, and as it is getting late in the session it is presumed the fight will he- gin on that day. The situation seems to change every day and it is a wise man, indeed, who can guess with any confidence as to the remit THE UNFINISHED BUSINF8S. With this and hills like the bucket shop hill, oil inspection bill, high school bill, ooca cola hill, patent medicine bills, medical bills, fertiliser hills, the Senate has confronting it for the remaining two weeks much important work and day and night sessions will be the, order frpm now on. Amongst other hills of special inter est to Charleston two passed—one in reference to the municipal government of the town of Monltrieville and the other appointing a commission to inves tigate into the proposition to buy the Charleston police station for the Citadel Aondehiy.

OLD FOLKS TESTIFY •9P All Old People in Walterboro and Their Children Take Notice. A time comet to every one when the life forces begin to fail. We begin to feel that we ore going down hill and perhaps that the end pf active ■enr' e, if not of life, it near. Thete extract! from tome letteri re cently received from old people thoald be Intereeting rending: Mr A. J. Baker of Evantville, Ind., rayt, ”1 believe there it no otber med icine equal to Yinol for old people. I would not take $1000 for the good it haa done me.” " Mrt Sarah J. Windrom, cousin of the late United Statet president, Zachary Taylor, tayt, “Vinol is a God tend to old people. I am teventy-aix yean old, hot owing to the strength-creating qualities of Yinol, I feel yonng, active and well today.” ' Mr Jot. Bankton of Deottnr, III., seventy-eight yean of age, mys, “Yinol hat made me strong, active and well.’' Mr John M. Klein tayt, “Yinol owes its virtue to the fact that it contains in a. highly concentrated from all the ac tive, curative strengthening and body building properties of cod liver oil. It makes rich, red Mood, healthy body material and sound, steady nerves. In this way it repain worn tisenea, obeoas the natural decline of the aged and re places weakness with, strength. Every aged person in WalMrboro should try Yinol on onr guarantee to refund the money if It fails to give satisfaction.” John M. Klein; druggist VMe MaS s«aa« la th« Gold Room mm Tkat Pa total Occaoloa. In the middle of the gold room was a small fountain. Around this the day's proceedings began, writes T. Hendrick in the American Magazine. Jay Gould’s own brokers, pale, haggard, half dis trustful and half ashamed of their work, started the blda. Gold had closed the day previously at 144. Now a Gould broker offered 145 for $100,000 gold. His only response were the curses and fist shakings of a bedraggled, pel* Spiring crowd. “One hundred and forty-six for $100,- 000 gold.’’ Still mere was no response. “One hundred and forty-seven.’* Each advancing point meant millions in profits to Gould and likewise mil lions In losses to the community. At every advance the crowds, losing aQ restraint, alternately roared and wept “One hundred and forty-eight** “One hundred and forty-nine.’* Above the pandemonium the monot onous voices of the Gould brokers could be heard, quietly, remorselessly putting up the price. “One hundred and fiftv.’* “One hundred and fifty-one.’* At this point the baying began. Hith erto the crowd had been held magical- L spellbound. The audacity of 1 the lid brokers had paralysed all Board brokers were particularly dated. In face of the clique’s demonstrated pow er no one seemed able to bid, even to make the feeblest attempt to check the terrible rise. A few uptown merchants now, how ever, started to purchase. Soon the bidding degenerated Into panic. Ev ery one scrambled to get his gold now while the price, judged by what had already happened and the unques tioned power of the gang, seemed low. All purchases, however, meant enor mous losses. Fortunes accumulated through years of self sacrificing toll- were swept away In a moment la their craze men ran aimlessly about the room, moaning; screaming, vainly appealing for help. Outside, where the crojvds breathlessly waited announcements, the same scenes were repeated. Ruined men, unable to get into the building Itself, pushed, cursed and fought At each rise in the price the rage against Gould Increased. When the hid reached 150, there were cries of “Lynch! Lynch!” And meanwhile what was the plotter .of all this mischief doing? He was selling gold. To whom waa he selling? To Fisk and all his own associates. He was the only man who really under stood the situation—who knew, that Is; upon what a flimsy basis his “corner’* rested. Hs sent Fisk, Belden and Speyer into the gold room to advance the price ostensibly for the benefit of the clique, and when it had reached a certain point unloaded on hla own ac count He had sold largely, unknown to his confederates, the day before.
