The bill was sent to t the House uot to be voted on, but as f W'Ated above for conaurrence, as the t bill was rearlly a house measure. This itatus was obtained by atlixing to the t title of the Morgan bill which has ali iady passed the house, the body of 1$ he Raysor-Manning bill, whioh orlg> Dated in the senate, and had never ijf >een sent across the State house. Shortly after the senate was called toorder on Wednesday morning Senator Blease of Newberry annuunced bat he would not continue to hold he llcor, as he had been advised that be dispensary bills were not in any anger of becoming law and he thought ,he issue would ba in the campaign, iter all, during the Hummer. Senator fiflrd, who made an unsuccessful mciion shortly before to limit all speecb>8 during the remainder of thesesslou to 15 minutes, offered two minor imendments to the Raysor-Manning till.

Senator Hardin was in f&'or of local option, but now that the iorgan bill had been killed, he heaved the Itaysor-Mannlng would reave the present conditions, which a could not consent to continuing as icy are. Senators Mclver, Bates and olidry shared this view. Senator pugh" thought the bill worse than 'esent conditions, while Senators albert, and Brooks, were against the Bpensary and lis being patched up. m&tor Mauldln did not think the .11 would help conditions but Sena .or Black thought It would. A large number of senators, lncludng dispensary advocates, declared hemsehes against beer dispensaries md hotel privileges. The next bill aken up was Senator Mauidin's to abolish these forms of the dispensary (law. A direct vote wa^ taken on the bill's passage and every senator in the chamber voted for it except Senators ,J. L. Blease, Dennis, Douglass, lay, Hudson, W. K.

The senator was of a mind to get < through with all dispensary business possible, and Senator Warren's bill to have a general State eleotion and abide by the results for 5 years was killed by a vote of 31 to 9 Senator Blease withdrew his bill, which was to rest the opening of dispensaries | upon the decision of the mayor and county supervisor and board of directors. .

On WeoiHStav in the House Mr. Rueker calhd up his straight county on pei.f-aiy bill. He old tnls, he ex plain* d, because the senate had killed . the Mcigan till and he warned to give I the senate the chance of holding the bag. Let the Benate have the burden Of keeping that bouquet on the Congaree river. He would never see the dispensary in Anderson if the State dispensary was ai lowed to live. He wauted the senate again and a#alu held responsible for the dispensary on the Congaree. Mr. L-iney thought this a pure waste of time and wauted the bill killed. The Ruoker bill simply provides for the abolition of the State dispensary and the option between prhlbltlon and oounty dispensaries. Unaer this bill counties that have voted out th*> disspensary have kthe ohanoe of another election in May, 1906. Tne house, by a vote of 47 to 45 refused to indefinitely postpone the bill.

In the Senate on Wednesday evening the Jamestown exposition bill was called up. Senator Brown spoke for the bill, saying the relations between South Carolina and Virginia mad* this a peculiar call. It would be an affront to Virginia to decline to respond and a disgrace not to appropriate em ugh to make a creditable display. Senator Purlfoy had nosympa thy with the cry of poor mouth and wanted his great State creditably represented, ccmmenth g that South Carolina was not r? piesented at St. Louis In 1004 lie made a spirited plea for the bill. Senator Bates said that though opposed to ? xpendltures when not necessary, this was onetime wh*n he did consider it worth while. Senator Carpenter, too, sp ke for the bill and cit ed the advantage of exploiting the State. A vote was tbeu taken and the bill read a second time by a vote of 30 to 8. Senators E. S Blease, Earle, Etird, Hood, W. E Johnson, W. J. Johnson, R&ysor, Talbert voting aga nst It. Senator Brown then spoke for the change from the $10 000 stipulation of the house to $30,000 as originally appropriated undt.r the bill. Senator Hood spoke against it and Senator C. L. Blease for It. It was adopted, Senators Blaok, E. S. Blease, Eirle, Hood, W. E. Johnson, W. J. Johnson, McGowan, McL od, Raygor, Talbert, Warren, Weils voting against It. The bill was then read the second time and passed. During the discussion Chief David Harris of the Catawba Indians came int^ the chamber and was asked by President Sloan to,occupy a chair on the stand.

Hawthorne Pictures Senator Tillman Discussing the RAILROAD RATE BILL In the Senate, and Describes the Wonderful Transformation from Lodge and]the Isles of the Blest to the Storms and the Buccaneers. Julian n&wthomo draws on amusing picture of Senator Tlllmau addressing the Uuited States Senate l*><t week on the railroad rate bill. With the scholarly Senator from Massachuseets, says Hawthorne, we had been sailing long and smoothly on Summer saas. lie seemed to bo enacting the parts both of Youth at the Prow and of Pleasure at the Helm. The rise and lapse of his mellitluous a< cents, as he read his speech, and. at stated iutervals, lifted the leaf from the pile of law books on his left and laid it gently and accurately on the slowly augmenting pile on his right, seemed like the softly swelling and subsiding waves of the blue ocean over whloh we voyaged. The Senatorial audience sat entranced, with eyes half closed in dream comfortableness. The galleries, graced with muoh that was feminine and beautiful, sailed on serenely with tht rest of us. Mr. Knox, keeping his eyes resolute ly ajar beneath his level and slightly gathered brows, gave his most oourte ous attention. Other great railroad repreBental ives ? Foraker, Aldridge, Elkins, Gallinger?attempted not to oonce&l the plentltude of their satisfaotlou In the argument of the spokesman of the White House. The desks of the opposition were less well filled, but several of their oc oupants confessed to the spell of the orator. Mr. Tillman read pamphlets, hut he was to speak after Massacuu setts had finished. Tne Isle of the Blest seemed near. All was well alow and aloft. The nation, under the aegis ( f tte Executive, was safe. The rate bill was an important measure, but Mr. Lodge had given the subject of railway rates his earnest attention during several months, and he knew, he might venture toubeliebe something aoout it. He had even gone so far as to unload his modest holdings of railway stock before beginning his examination, lest any shadow of self-interest might creep into his point of view. He was explicit, after all this study, in announcing that personal rebates were really and truly wrong, and must be stopped. But ah! gen tlimen, what a mighty and prosper ous nation was ours; and ah! a^ain, hi n *v> " ~ M * TTuoku a. liiiKniy eiKiuuuioi oenencence were our railroads! Railroads are the property m t of a few haughty millionaires, but of mil lions of irusting and deserving stockholders, for wiiose benefit they are conducted. To injure railroads, then, is to aim a blow at the common peo pie. "Is any here so base that does not love the common people? If any, speak, for him have I off nd! And, do not railways d pend upon the pros perlty of the oountry for their living? How, then, can they bi suspected of working against its interests. "it is preposterous," ezolaimed the Senator, almost raising his voice, "that they should be suspected of be lug shortsightedly avaricious." Aud so, at last, he laid down the last leaf upon the four square pile and turned to receive the congratulations of Messrs. Aldrioh, Foraker and the rest of oho men against whose Inter* sts the II* pburn bill is understood to be almtd. It was beautiful; it was like the lotus eater*; and we were just falling into the sweetest slumber when all at once an awful tning happened. In the Senate Mr. Tillman is almost the only event that ever does nappeu. Up he came from the darksome hold of our Snip of State, savage and threatening, a freebooter, armed and tieroe-eyeu; a buccaneer, with a knife between his teeth and a pjstol in either hand. The Summer seas parsed away like a dream. Toe isles of the Blest sank oeueath the bor.zm. The olouda blackened the sky and the storm wind shrieked in the silken cordage of the rigging. Tillman had ripped the entire bot torn out of our craft, and we were sinking. Toe ?eab rose In fury; we were plunged headlong Into them, swimmil gly suddenly for our lives. There was no peace, no prosperity, no economic beneficence of natural laws. Sharks bit cIT our legs, swordttsh lm paled us?water swallowed us whole. The nation was once more sirug gling In the grasp of tne octopus. They weie starving, they were wroi ged, they weie victims of an out rageuus and destructive t> rauuy. And what a hideous farce it ah wa>! Here wan our President, who had tins meai-ure f ir the rtlief of the pecple so closely at heart, on whohe c talis we were admonished blindly lo hang, in wno&c courage and wiodoui _ r\ we were invited to trust, wbo feared no foea?least of all railroads?here he was with his hill, and whom had he oalled Into oounael with him to manufacture it? He had called in?shouted the buccaneer, stalking forth upon the deck and menacing the Rcpublloans with uplifted arms?two men who more than any others were devoted body and soul to railway* 1 He had ealled in Mr. Root and Mr. Knot: he had oontlded the drafting of the measure to their wisdom; to their tender mercies had he entrusted the salvation of the people. Truly, Mr. President, this is a funny world! Infinite is the ridiculousness of human nature 1 These are the i advisers whom cur brave and independ ent Kxecut've summons to aid him in dtfoiirjing the m&s-es against the rapacity of the classet! Hut Mr. Til man would feel a little safer in tasting the meat?lest It have poison iu It?bai It not been submitted to the cookery of suoh oooks. Something ev'dantly had to be done; and Mr. Knox, clambering upon a 1 piece of wreckage, was beard to deolare, in a bold, hardy voice, that pever, either directly or indirectly, he acted as counsel for the Penusyl- 1 vanla Railway. "Well, I'm glad to hear you say It 1" roared Tillman. "I'm glad there's a man I can respeot as not having been bought by a cjrporatlou before coming to tbe Senate to frame a bill against it. But I don't think it will be denied that Mr. Root has boeu very olose to railway lnte> ests. "And I say it Is false to say that the railways alwtys desire the prosperity of eaoh region. 1 see too much evidence that all this pretended z;al for tbe people Is apparent but not real. 1 see two hundred thousand miles of railways in this country, and they are under only live different ownerships, and those owners are so bound together and Interrelated that you can't tell them apart. "I am a plain, blunt man, and 1 say they are robbing the people. "Here's the Pennsylvania has such faith in the innocuous character of these thunderlDgs from the White House that they advertise in a New I York newspaper a direct proof that they are acting in restraint of trade 1 They say, like the late eminent iinaucler, "Tue public be damned!' They are striving tooth and nail to get the President to put in a proviso tnat the courts may be appealed to and the decision of the commission be suspended till the appeal is decided. They wont let him tly the coop if they kno v it I" At this point Foraker got his head above water. "Should there not be a proper provision for appealing?" lie inquired. "What is a proper provision?" retorted the freebooter. "A Just one," was the r* j ilndei?" "And does not this bill oecure justice?" "I say it's a farctl" roared Tillman, "and 1 ask you are you satisfied with it yourself?" UI don't have to be," replied Mr. Foraker, sidestepping qilckly. "Then I ask you wither you are going to vote for it?" his antagonist persisted. "I am not," the forlorn-hope champion was obliged to confess; and South Carolina held the deck alone and triumphant.
