IGHWAYS OF COUNTY HAVE'WH BEEN GREATLY IMPROVED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS I v i T ) ( Lexington, March 1.?During the; ' ist few months the roads of Lexing- ant| an county have b^en greatly impro- ^uni ed. Both roads leading from the ' ourt house to Columbia have been in ^ layed, with the exception of abo ut mile and a half, and this will be ' nished in the near future, it is said. arn The Augusta road has ocen clayed ver ight miles beyond town and is as a-or ne a piece of road as there !s in the mai ountry. The better condition of '"!t tese roads has been brought about j v the cooperation of the people j TE ving in the neignborhood, who assist y hauling and otherwise aiding in te work. The county has furnished j\ great deal of assistance and in this ay no one seems to be out a great acts cal of cash.

Mar. 1.?With the sine die adjournment of the legislature early Sunday morning 11:59 by the house and senate clocks, but a trifle after 0 by all others?came to a close a most unusual session of the legislature. The net result of it all was conclusively to prove what had been confidently asserted before, that the house was prohibition and the senate local option. True, the majorities in both cases were great enough to ioin issue with the senate ; and consented to the compromise bill. The compromise bill fathered by Senator Christensen was passed by the senate Thursday night after thiee hours discussion. The bill is in effec, sorely a measure to compel elections throughout t;.e Stute--or rather in the "wet" counties?on the question of liquor sale. The bill provides that on August 3 ali county dispensaries shall be closed ami state-wide prohibition shall be inaugurated. On the 17th, however, elections on the sale of whiskev are to be held in counties now wet. If liquor is voted in the counties are to continue to run their county dispensaries under the CareyCothran act, at at present. The test vote on the Christensen compromise in the senate resulted: For the bill ! 28; against 9. When the senate passed the comppromise measure, which purpoted to be an amendment to the State-wide prohibition bill, though it was in reality a local option measure, it was freely predicted that the house would not accept the amended bill, hut such speculations proved unfounded. the house consenting to the compromise Saturday. Thus tor one more year the statewide prohibition movement is laid on the table. It is claimed by Senator Otts that at least 15 counties will go dry at the election in August but this estimate is believed by most to be too high. The general opinion seems to be that from five to seven counties will vote themselves dry. besides the liquor bill the most important act of the legislature at jims session a-as the repeal of the Hen law, which came earlier in the session, before the determined fight on prohibition was well begun. Other Important Action. Other important notes by the legislature were: The passage of the bill requiring statements of conditions by all corporations. The killing of the railroad rate law making the legal rate in this State 2 1-2 cents a miie. The railroads are now giving a 2 1-2 cent rate, so the bill would have made no immediate difference. The increase in the appropriation for common schools. I'he enlargement of Commissioner Watson,s duties, extending his jnrisdiction to industries and providing for a factory inspector. Passage of the Brice ten hour act for textile establishments. Increase of facilities at Winthrop and the University of South Carolina Passage of anti-discrimination bill forbidding underselling in certain lines of business. In addition to these a number of local acts were passed. The legislature took no action on compulsory edi at ion or tax reform and both may be expected to come up again at the next session. C!i;i?. M. < alloway. gone to the State Capitol to have the requisition papers countersigned. He had not reported at the sheriff's [office up to the time the sheriff's office closed to-night, and Gen. G. Duncan Bellinger who is Garlngions counsel had not icon his ilient this afternco\ and arrangements had not been made as to whether he would give bond for his appearance at the regular term of the Criminal Court or whether he would insist upon a preliminary hearing at this time.
