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.

would be dangerous for three men to
pledge the credit of each connty, and to
have absolute control of the liqnor busi
ness without any limitation whatever.
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-
â–  *
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.

eliminate this tendency of corn to
overgrowth at the expense of yield,
in the Southern climate;
By this method I have made my
corn crop more profitable than my
cotton crop, and my neighbors and
friends who have adopted it, have
without exception, derived great
benefit therefrom.
Plant your own seed. I would not
advise a change of seed and method
the same year, as you will not then
know from which ycu have derived
the benefit. I have used three varie
ties, add all have done well. I have
never used this method for late; plant

planting of coin, unless it be neces
sary for cold lowlands.
The increased cost of labor and the
high price of all material and land,
are rapidly making farming unprofit
able, except to those who are getting
from one acre, what they formerly got
from two. A e must make Our lauds
richer by plowing deep, planting
peas and other legumes, manuring
them with acid phosphate and pot
ash, which are relatively cheap, and
returning to the soil resultant vege
table matter rich in humus and ex
pensive nitrogen. The needs of our
soil are such that the South can
never reap the full measure of pros
perity that should be hers, until this
is done,
I give this method as a farmer to
the tanners of the South, trusting
that thereby they may be benefitted
as 1 have been. E. Melver Williams.
