LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED. 1 he legislature of South Carolina for the year 1906 adjourned sine die Satur day night. This session has distingnsh* *d itstlf more on account of the number .of bills killed rather than upon the comber that it has passed. The cry has been for a long time that the statute books are now crowded with useless laws and the present legislature evident* ly intended not to crowd it further this winter. There were a great many special acts referring to the issuance cf bonds for new school houses, railroad charters and measures of local applica lion. There was more time consumed lathe discussion of the* litjuor question than upon any other measure In fact this wasjthe principle theme of the en tire session. Day after day and night after night long winded speeches (most ly for the benefit of the galleries) were made, and many hoars of valuable time were taken np. And yet it is extremely tioubtfnl if a single vote was influenced • one way or the ether by this extended si>e«ch making, for most probably every man had his mind made up before he went there.. ' Neither house wanted prohibition and ~> He issue was clear cut between two liquor bills. The choice was between what is known as the Morgan Kill and ihe Uaysor-Manuing, or ‘•Purification” Bill. The Morgan Bill provided for connty dispensaries under the county control, giving each county board absolute and unlimited control ever the liquor business. The connty board was to buy and seilliqnor | fixing whatever price it saw fit and to pledge the credit of the county to pay the bills. The enforcement of the law was to be in the hands of the sheriff, magistrates and their constables. Each county could decide by ballot whether or not they wonld have a dispensary or prohibition. The principle feature of the Uaysor* Manning bill was that it kept the pres* eat law. in tact except it took away from the State board the purchasing power and placed it in the hands of three citixens to be appointed by the governor for that purpose. L’quor should only be bonght from snch liquor concerns as have United States* bonded warehouses, and no bid could be con sidered except from snch responsible louse. All bids were to be sent by ex press to the State tupasurer, which were to be approved at certain times by kirres persons appointed by the gov- «ernor. The contract was to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. After tho awarding of the contract the term of office of these three men expired and the same ones could not be appointed . again. It was thought by many mem- hen of both bodies that the insertion of . Jr . ' • •* they provisions would remove suspi- tdonol graft on the part of the State Beard and would render it practically impoariblofor any stealage to goon. -sThe majority of the house insisted on abolishing the Slate dispensary and bald that under the eonnty government that It woald be nearer to the neoole.

That instead of having one central pur chasing body, which it is alleged is the source of corruption, there would be 25 centres of corruption and that the con tamination they claimed would per- miate every coanty office, and that the general effect woo'd make matters worse instesd of better. Another ob jection to this measure was that there was no efficient method of enforcing the law, for it is generally conceded that if left to the sheriff, tbemagis- ■ * trates and there constables,'-that noth ing wonld be done, and that as a result conditions in each connty woald become intolerable. The opponents of the Mor gan bill farther argued that there is no o necessity for the bill for the establish ing of local option, for under the law as it is now, (the Brice law) each county has a right to say whether it will have dispensary or prohibition. When the senate rejected the Morgan bill the house then rushed through what was known as the Ricker bill, which was the same as the Morgan bill with a few minor changes. The 'senate struck out all of this bill aud substituted for it the Raysor-Manning bill with the ex-u ceptiou that it provided for the aboM* tiou of the State board of coutrol and devolved its duties upon the State com missioner. The house refused to accept these amendments alsq and the matter went to a committee of conference. This oommittee failed to agree, and a committee of free conference was ap pointed. This committee also failed to agree, so the dispensary law stands now jnst as it did before the general assem bly met. t [On account of lack of space will finish this in next week’s issne.] in mis, has organized a Sunday school i id every Sabbath afternoon.she will be found at her post of duty.
