THE WORK OF
■' THE LEGISLATURE
N# ACTION TAKEN ON THE DIS
PENSARY YET.
Bills of Interest Now Before Both
Houses Are the Lien Law and Com
pulsory Education.
Columbia Jan. 24.—It does not se-mi
likely that the decisive battle over
the dispensary will be begun until
next week. Both sides are waiting on
the report of the new dispensary In-
▼entigating committee. This it is
now expected will he ready by Friday,
according to a statement today a mem
ber of the committee made to the cor-
renpond'mt of The Ledger. The prin
cipal bil’s of each sble, that of the
dinpensarv people seeking a purifica
tion scheme along the lines of the
TlUman-Raysor-Mannlng hi 1 of last
year, and the Can\v Cothran local op
tica county dispensary bill, have both
been printed and are ready to be call
ed up on a moment’s notice. But Sat-
urdav will be an off day, both houses
haling selected this day to visit Clem-
hob College, and as the committee re
port will not be in before Friday,
there will be no time for action this
week. -.v
A subject of special interest To the
readers of The Ledger Is the probable
nation of the legislature this year on
She Hen law. It is Impossible at this
aSmbs of the game to Foretell what
WfU he done. BiFe to -repeal the law
eaftlrely and bills to make Important
amendments are pending In both
houses, each branch haring gone up
oa the subject to back away again la
the form of motions to adjourn de
bate. It is evident that there wi’l be
the usual warm contest in both
houses. The factions seem equally
confident of victory.
The fate of the bucket-shop nuis
ance may b° dec'ded in the senate
week. Judging from the number
ci bills urged on the subject it seems
that some sort of change will be
made.
fiompu’sory education will not he
reached in Hther house till next week.
Some bill alon" ibis line will likely
get c'oser to ratifioTtinn than any have
yet done, hut it do«s not seem likely
that, comnu’sory education will be en
acted into law at this session.
Perhaps* tbp most important nega
tive legislation of the session so far 1
has been th n-itHurr 1o death of the :

a force of surveyors in the city sur

Wllklnsvllle, Jan. 22.—Mr. Bob
Blackwood Is our rat catcher and kill
er. When we remonstrated with him
and told him if he kept o> he wou'd
destroy the whole rat family, he said
he wished there wasn't a rat this
side of Red river. We wanted to
know why he wished the people over
there so much harm as to send them
such a nuisance, he said he wanted
to get them over there among the
Indians—“they would e’ean ’em up.”
Farmers are preparing to sow a
large crop of oats. Much of the land
will be id’e this year if it Isn’t sown
down. Hired labor and irresponsible
tenants are a great drawback to the
fanning interests. It’s not so much
the price paid for labor as the kind
of labor we get is what Mr. C. W.
Whisonant thinks about it. and he la
about right, too.

Last Tuesday the Wllklnsvllle Oil
Mill Company lost a lot of oil by a
bad p’ace In the road which made a

fifteen gal'ons of oil wasted before
It could be stonoed. We have fre-
nuently called the attention of the
road authorities to these p’aeno that

Miss Rugie Caroline Moss, of Hope-

died at her home last Sabbath morn (

Sa’em yesterday. Rev. J. Le? Oates,
of the A. R. Presbyterian church, con
ducted the funeral exercises. She
was an examplory member of the
Salem Presbyterian church and an
excellent lady. She was sixty seven
years of age. She will be greatly
missed In her church and the com
munity In which she lived.
A nob’e womafi has gone to her re
ward
Earth has one spirit less.
Heaven one Inmate more.
She was a kind friend to the poor)
and ne^dy. a wise and safe counseller
in the home and would never speak
evil of her neighbors. She joined the
church In h°r youth and was. when
her health permitted, a regular atten
dant upon its services.
After a long and painful illness she
died in the hone of a blessed immor
talitv beyond the grave.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is yacant In rer home
That never can be fllled.
Blessed are the dead which die In

the spirit that they may rest from
their labors and their works do fol
low them.

what he says in this address. He
will be governor of all the people and

18 MR. TILLMAN AN ACTORf
Senior Senator from South Carolina
as Man and Publicist.
New York Sun.
Here is a man occupying a seat la
a Southern Hailwav train. His head
reefs low In the window corner and
his fecg, nrojerted over the tack of
tbe seat In front of him. His attitude,
his whole air, his demeanor, betray
’’n elaborate and aggressive brutal-
itv. He attracts the attention of
everv one in the car. and one would
sa / that he onjpved It.
In an amrtment two men are
seated. One of them is a visitor and
Ms haoi< jq ^tu^oed toward an onen
door through which the air and th«
lo-Mno nenetrate. The two talk
! freelv and amlrahlv about a matter
of nubile moment and they reach con

resumes his manner of before and
say s to the visitor, whose dlscom-
oosur" Is only to" apparent “Oh,
never mind that: there were two of
those damned ‘Wool Hats’ listening
at the door, and if they’d heard me
ta’klng like that to a railroad lawyer
I’d never get another vote in the
county!’’
The late Senator Hoar fonnd Sen
ator Tillman a most interesting and
agreeable man. He has excellent
blood in his veins, as good as ever
enriched the colony of Virginia. He
is a man who has read both widely
and well. Even a very brief inter
course reveals him as a person of
cultivation and of broad Intellectual
resource. He not only makes an ex
es'lent impression to begin with, but
reveals himself upon acquaintance
as an attractive character, a man
from whom one parts with reluctance
and a nian of whose latent force It 1b
not possib’e that one should remain
unconscious.
Considerab'e men, men tremselveB

naradoxical problem which the South
Garol'na Senator presents, and have
sought its solution. They have done

The fact that many people right
in Gaffney cough .and hawk and
snut’ie for days and weeks alter they
’rent a cold with the usual stomach
dosing, shows how valueless are the
ordinary cough and co d cures.
The right way to cure a cold In
the head or a cough and Irritation
in the throat and lungs, is by breath
ing Hyomei’s medicated air. Put a
few drops of Hyomel in the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit and breathe this healing air
for a few times and immediate re
lief will be noted. The medication
goes right to the spot where the.dip-
ease germs are located and renders
them harmless in the future.
At the same time the soothing and
healing effects of Hyomel on the Ir
ritated mucous membrane give quick
relief, and the cough or cold is bro
ken up. •
The best evidence of the great
value of Hyomel In curing cougba,
colds and all bronchial troubles is
the fact that Gaffney Drug Co. give
an absolute guarantee with every
outfit they sell, that If it does not
give satisfaction, the money will be
refunded.
A complete outfit, consisting of a
bott’e of Hyomel. the Inhaler and •
medicine dropper, costs but tl. while
extra bottles of Hyomel. If
