Following the address the annual banquet of the association was held at the Colonia hotel, when a number of toasts were responded tc by a number. ( Several addresses were delivered at the session of tnc Bar Association aM-.....iftopiiA in 'I'lin fV?ntiirr? of X li U J OUUJ ?1 tv 1 livy Vili * "W ? the session was the election of ofli- ; cers and the discussion of a number , of matters of importance to tlie mem- ; bers. ; An able address was delivered by , Chief Justice Eugene 13. Gary of the , South Carolina supreme court. He | discussed in a most clear and con- } vincing manner "Legal Ethics." He ^ was received with applause. An able t paper on "Reforms in Taxation" was . read by T. P. Cothran of Greenville. ( A paper by Knox Livingston on the organization and compositi of the ( court of last resort was not read at x the session but will be published in ( the minutes. Mr. Livingston asked j that he be excused from reading his . paper because of the length of it. ^ Following the address of Chief j Justice Gary, Judge Parker was , asked to give his \iews on "Legal ( Ethics." He paid a high compliment x to the speech of Chief Justice Gary and as a supplement to the address said he would tell of an experiment that was being made in tlie State of j New York. Judge Parker said that he was president of the New York County Association of Attorneys, which has a membership of over 3,000. The association, ho said, had 1 appointed a committee of able attor- 1 neys to investigate all questions as to ( legal ethics presented. * The committee in turn presents the 1 questions to the board of directors of ; the association. Opinions are thus officially given by a competent board 1 as to whether an action by an attorney is within the bounds of legal ? ethics. These opinions are printed ? and, he said, are of \ast benefit to the 1 members of the association. Ho said * that the association employed com- 1 petent attorneys to prosecute and investigate all violations. * He declared the system was a mere 1 experiment in the United States, as 1 had been in vogue in England for many years where results have been ' secured. Speaking of professional ethics, Judge Parker said that ho 1 was a member of the committee of 1 the American Bar Association that 1 framed the code of ethics. He then < called attention to the fact that one I code is not sufficient to meet the demands made by constant changes from year to year. ITe said that the American people had overdone statute making because of the inability 1 tc foresee the future. 1 The committee on nominations ' made the following report, which was adopted by the association.

Tht NtW BOI'Z; LAW WOULD LIMIT NUMBER OF COUNTY BOOZ10 SHOPS. rhc New Monsuro Ih Deslgnnted to Make It Harder to Get Whiskey In Dry Territory. The bill of Senator TCppg of Williamsburg county limiting the number of dispensaries !*i certain counties of the Stat? was the most Interesting J matter brought up In the senate Monday night. This I.ill provides that there shall not bo created In any county of the State after the passage of the act, more than one dispensary, but counties that contain cities of more than 15,000 Inhabitants are exempted. This bill was r< ported favorably from the committee on police regulation with an amendment. Mr. Epps, the anther of the bill, explained the object of its Introduction. The bill is to prevent flooding of the "dry" counties of the State by liquor from the "wet" counties, in that it will prohibit dispensaries other than those that aro now established, from being placed in close pioxiwity to county lines. The bill caused an extended debate. The question of the legislative regulation of the liquor question has been before the lawmakers of the State for a decade, asserted some of Llie senators. The right of certain I "niiTiflpa to soil lln inr within t.heif borders lias been decided by ballot, and the legislature should not abrogate to itself the regulation of it in :he face of the people's ballots, was another argument advanced against dio bill. Senator Christensen' of Beaufort jouuty strenuously opposed the enac:ion of this bill into law, saying that he people of his county had voted n favor of whiskey being sold. There ire remote sections of his county that . vould be overrun by "blind tigers" , f the dispensary was not there. Senitor Christensen did not think that he senate or the house should dis'egard the wishes of the people. WILLING TO TAKE STAND. Jut Will Publish No Book Against Governor Blease. A special dispatch to The State lays Col. Thomas B. Felder was in Vugusta Monday. "Will you go to . Columbia and testify against Gov. ', ^ole L. Blease if you are summoned oy the investigating committee?" vas asked him directly. "Yes, if the investigating commit:ee sees fit to summon me." "What about that book on Blease ;o much talked about? Have you ^ >rinted such a book as you are credted with, shewing all the dealings of ho present governor of South Caroina?" "No book has been printed, but I lave material that would make a nost interesting book if it should be )Ui)iisnca." Asked what ho thought of tho j I31ease situation now, he replied: "lie's going to get all that's comng to him, good and plenty?before long." constitution provides that the meeting of the association shall bo held in Columbia during tho month of January.
