It is -i straight thing however that practically nothing of conse quence to the people at large, lias as yet been enacted into law ky that magnificeut body of men comprising the General Assem bly of South Carolina. For in stance, what is called thefight on tiie State Dispensary system started in the Senate on Tues day night. Why should it be called a fight? Why should it not be a calm dispassiouate dis cussion of a question vital to the future peace and prosperity of the people of the State? The answer is easy, h consists in the fact that some members are so hide-bound in theft- opposition to a slight chauge in existing conditions that they will de liberately sacrifice the interest of their constituents, and of the whole people in the inane effori 10 prove that their action in the premises is actuated by the truest spirit of patriotism. Then .we have the lien law. The House of Representatives I expressed itself m no uncertain tonos as to its position on the matter of repeal, but the Senate turned it down by a majority of three. ' J Then there has been a lot of guffgotteu off on a number of the following proposed measures very few of which have been en acted int? law: Bucket Shops, a humbug measure that will do no good on earth if passed; Child Labor, ? a righteous bill that should pass; Marriages and Births, License for the first und proper record of the second, bure this bill should pass, but wo don't believe it will. Ten HourLubor law. A good bill but its fate is doubtful. The bill to make 2 1-2 cents Kail road fares sounds good, bui strikes us as hardly fair. Three cents per mile for travel ap pears to us to be a reasonable rale, but as there are a number of people in the State, the most of them being in the Legislature who know more than we do, we will not express a decided opin ion. 1 Thero are a number of other matters that ought to hold the attention of our law makers, primarily the Biennial Sessiou question, but this we have not heard whispered. Maybe it was only campaign thuuder. ANNUAL It K PORT OF PENI TENTIARY 1HRECTOKS. We are the least bit impressed by the report of the Board of Directors of the Slate Peniten tiary, which was published on Monday. From this report wo gather that out of 232 commit tals to the penitentiary for crime during 1900, only one was penued for murder and carrying concealed weapons, one for carrying unlawful weapons, and seven only for violation of the Dispensary luw. A brilliant record, truly. Com mon sense tells the citizon of even ordinary mind that these offenses against statute law sim ply foreshadow offenses of a graver nature against society, and the exercise of even a modi cum of that common sense will cause the average citizen to as If the question 4,Qio Vadls. " If there hus been but one com mittal to prison (the Htate Peni tentiary) during the year 1906 for tne crime of murder and carry ing concealed weapons, one only for carrying unlawful weapons, and the mystic number of tcven for violation of the Dispensary law, then wo have indisputable evidence that publicopinion does not uphold the laws regulating jiud noting to these crimes, op that through the taking of ad vantage of tochnnMtiee by attorneys for defendant* 3a suite of the nature mentioned, justice has been cheated of her reward, and the people of a whole Stale are practically at the mercy of a lawless element of its popula tion. We, as a citizen, incline U> the former proposition, and earn estly urge upon our legislators the stern necessity of making soch changes in existing law as will insure to the law abiding citizen full protection in life, property, and the pursuit of happiuess. ? ?

Will the controversy aroused by the President's discbarge in dishonor of the three companies of colored troops connected with the Brownsville disturban c e have any political influence over the masses of negro voters of the country? This is a question of sotno importance for the Re publican party. It is assumed that nearly all the negroes who vote at all cast their ballots for Republican candidates. In many Northern and middle Western States the negroes holds the balance of power in ordinary elections. In 1900 this was the number of male negroes of voting age in these Republican States: Conneticutt 4,576 Delaware 8,274 Illinois 20,762 Indiana 18,186 New Jersey 21,474 Ohio 31,285 Pennsylvania 51,668 West Virginia 14,786 The swing of this mass of ne gro voters to the Democratic side in these States, which have all been carried by the Republicans in recent times, might turn the scale in all of them. Even in the tidal wave year of 1904, when the Republican had by far the most popular candidate they ever nominated for President, and when the Democrats had one of the weakest men who ever headed . their ticket, the trans fer of all these negro votes for the Democratic side would have given the electoral vote of Dela ware. Under any candidate, aside from Roosevelt himself, whom the Republicans can nominate their margin in all the States named in this table will be far smaller in 1908 than it was iu 1904. A considerable deflection in tne negro vote next year might give to the Democrats several States which the Repub licans have been winning in re cent contests. Mr. Hughes nar row margin for Governor of New York in 1906, and the Democra tic victories for one or more State offices in such stalwart Republican Commonwealths as Pennsylvania; Ohio, Minnesota and other States, in the past two or three years, show that inde pendent voting is becoming more and more common, and that the Republicans can no longer rely on their sweeping supremacy of 1904, when Roosevelt was their standard bearer, and when black as well as white Republicans were solid for him. Although the country may not have for gotten this fact in the recent hightide of Republican success, the negro is au important factor in politics, and this will hardly be overlooked when the Repub lican national convention meets next year to select its candi dates. ?
