THE LIST OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY MADE
HISTORY.
In Addition to the Abolition of the
Dispensary Important Measures
Are Passed.
Columbia. Fob. 18.—The general
assembly ad/journed Saturday night)
or rather about daylight Sunday
morning, though the legislative clerk
was not permitted to reach the hour
of midnight One by one the mem
bers had strolled off as the hours
passed and the awaiting on the en
grossing department to catch up with
it« work was enlivened by the sing-
ine of songs and the telling of jokes
while tii" two houses were at. recess.
This general assembly has made
history. The State dispensary sys
tem of controlling the liquor traffic
has been abolish d and a system of
local option instituted in its stead
4 majority of both houses had been
elected for the purpose of doing that
work and it was doin'; the majority
kept its purpose always in view and
never wavered, not even when a pro
hibition diversion was offered. The
Carey Cothran bill was finally agreed
upon the adoption of the free confer
ence report on Saturday, the vote in
the house being fig to 28 and in the
senate 23 to 8. The dispensary sup
porters had long ago given up the
tight. At 2 o’clock Sunday morning
Gov. Ansel signed the Carey-Cothran
bill, in tiie presence of Mr T. P. Co
thran, one of the authors, and sieves
a.1. newspapor men. the one of whom
he presented the pen with which it
was signed. H« then signe] the bill
to wind up the affair of the state dis-
liensary. B'' the operation of the two
laws, which are now in effect, the dis
pensaries will be closed as soon as
the governor serves an order on each
dispensary. As soon as possble he
will appoint the conn tv boards under
the new law. as prescribed by the
Carey- Cothran bill, the method of
the various counties, and these new’
county boards can then buy out the
old dispensaries or not as they may
choose. Every dispensary employee in
the state is legislated out of office,
from director and commissioner to
clerk in county dispensary. For the
commission to wind up the stale dis
pensary the governor will select six
business men in whom he and the
people have confidence.
In addition to the dispensary legis
lation the general assembly has pass
ed several important measures. Among
these may be mentioned this pure
food law. which seeks to make the
state statutes conform to the federal
law recently enactled by congress;
the bucket shops bill which is an ex
act copy of the string nt Georgia law
r ceutly put in force: the ten hour
labor law. affecting cotton mills and
other factories, which prescribes that
the hours of labor in thi“se factories
shall be reduced to fin hours per week
on July l, 1007. and to fiO hours on
January 1. 1908, the hours now being
04 per week; tlv- high school bill,
providing an appropriation of $30,000
for the encouragement and erection
of high sehoo's throughout tip* State;
the bill to provide for a commission
to impoiove the State bouse grounds,
at cost of $15,000; the bill increasing
the annropration for "elisions from
$225,000 to $250,000, of which $5,000
is for "artificial IL.ibs for Confoderat;-
veterans.
A’though the appropriations are
liberal to a : l State institutions tb<‘ tax
levy has been reduced from fiv<‘
mills to four and onc-ha’f mills.
This is possib’e by reason of the in
crease in taxable property.
The it,•'’st things that tin* leigslature
bar done may he the tilings it has
declined to do. and many hills of
various sorts go over to next, session,
■not having consideration at this s s-
sio’- and many others will n' ver* lie
heard o’ again, having been put to
sleep by the will of the majority.
It is the verdict of its observers
that this L gis’ature is above the
average in intelligence and ability
and that it is a bod.’ of m n credit

that he went to bis shack and start

down across the bod with his feet

struck the stove and turned it over
thus setting fire to the shack and

Wilkinsville. Feb. 22.—Last Wed
nesday Mrs. Ethel Blackwell starch
ed and ironed her dress and hung it
on a chair before the fire. By some
means the chair was tipped over and
the dress caught, fire and the cuffs,
one sleeve and part of thig skirt was
ourned. In less than three hours she
had the dress worked over and made
as good as new. She is an ingenious
smart woman—but she takes it all
after her mother, as Col. Sam Jef
feries said or sonic of her kin folks
who died long ago.

Those who anticipated the closing
of the dispensaries by order of Gov.
Ansel and procured a supply of "bug-
juice” to bridge over the chasm of
temporary prohibition, will, like Loss
Gore, have plenty of friends while It

they? Friends and liquor will all go
out together.
Sam J. Strain, who has been on the

Several of our lower Cherokee peo-
p’e are patronizing the Hickory
Grove market. They sav thev can

their good freely and thoroughly.
Dr. Hood has sold out his drug

Leech who will continue the bust

Since the bad weather and a bad
cold has been keeping us in-doors,
we have been reading or rather re
viewing some old war history—con
spicuous among which is the writ
ings of Belle Boyd, the Confederate
spy, entitled “Belle Boyd. In camp
and prison.” Referring to her con
finement in the old capitol prison in
Wlashington. she speaks very kindly
of Mr. Wood, the superintendent of
the Prison who treated her with all
the respect due her sex though the
charges against her were of a serious
nature—that of being a Rebel spy.
He gave her a servant to wait upon
her and told her ne would not. lock
her cell door as long as she behaved
herself.
The loom in which she was con
fined had former y been the eommit-
te. —'om of the old congress, and
had been repeatedly rinuated by Clay,
Webster. Calhoun, and other stah; s-
men of their age and mark.
When the hour lor divine service
came on Sabbath morning Mr. Wood,
the prison superintendent, would
walk down the passag,> into which
her room opened, proc’iming (she
says) in the tunes and with the
gerterv's of a town crier: "All you
who want to hear the word of God
nreached according to Jeff Davis, go
down into the yard, and all you who
want to hear it preached according
to Abe Lincoln go into No. 10.” This
was the way he separated the sheep
from the goats. But she don't say
which is which. J. L. S.

Tenor of Welt Known Gaffney Man’s
Lecture is Toward Self-Elevation
for the Race.
The Bristol, .'enn., Herald-Courier,
of the 18th. contained the following
account of a recent lecture by Rev.
Amos Clary, a Cherokee county boy.
in whom Eilmost every reader of The
Ledger is interested:
Rev Amos C ary, pastor of the
West Bristol Baptist church, deliver
od a lecture on "The Conn,: rstone of
Race Development” to the negroes
"f Bristol, under th,; auspices of the
Negro Business League, at the Bris
tol Normal Institution on McDowell
-treet ast night.
He stid in part:
It affords me i> miliar pleasure to
address you tonight. You are a part
of lhe bent of your race. You rep
resent a race Uiat is struggling up
war*' in the seal of lift*. Yours is
a worthy ambition. My best wish
for you is that you may find the
"golden fleece” of racial devolop-
Mfciit for which you se'k. It is a
quest that requires unyielding faith
on your part, both in God arid your
race. It is a quest that will cost you
a long, fierce struggle. But ihy* prize
is worth the effort.
The Race Problem.
The juxto posit ion of yours and the
white race in the south has created
a complex situation, but not onu
which should perplex us. How’ to
adjust the relation of the two races
so that each race will hav free scope
to develop itself along the lines
adapted t;> its own peculiar life, and
that. too. witnout the conflict or re
striction of one race upon the other,
that is the real race issue in the
south, that is the pro hi m which you
and I must solve. All this talk about
the colonization of the negroes is
fanciful and impracticable. Ii is
simply the grandstand talk of the
professional politician. He talks it
for effect. You, as a race, have be
come too closelv allied with the in
dustrial interests of our county. i()
B ar up now and go to a new "coun
try. You could not afford it nor
could the south afford to let you go.
So ve must find the adjustment
which will enable both the white
and the black races to davelon the
best in its own life.

Much Tim e Consumed in Getting
Ready for Business.
The Court of Common Plow met
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at
th" county court house. Judge James
Aldrich, of Aiken, presiding. Solici
tor Sease had been detained because
of the death of his brotherein law and
J. B. Bell. Esq., looked after the
State’s interest. Practically the en
tire morning session was consumed
getting matters into shape. Mr.
Bell presented a number of bills for
the consideration of the grand jury
and the witnesses were sworn.
Judge Aldrich charged the grand
jury in an able, thoughtful and deter
mined manner, reminding them that
thev were the custodians of the af
fairs of he county and that it. was
within their province to see to It
that no man was tried unjustly and
that no guiitv one should escape the
law. He touched up the sewerRl
phrases of homicide, upon licentioue-
ness, arson, burg ary. rape. etc., say
ing among other things, that one
legal hanging for the crime of rap *
would deter 500 men trom commit
ting the crini,* wnile one lynching for
the cause was likely to produce
another such crime. It was his ob
servation that often when a person
was lynched for that crime that
another crime of the same character
occurred in the same neighborhood
within a few months,
charge was interesting
ive.
The following is tlu-
court proceedings ysterday afternoon:
Mamie Lipscomb, larson. true bill.
Malinda Estes, murder, true bill
James Bores, murder, true bill.
Tom Hariris, murder, true bill.
Sam Lipscomb, assault with intent

to quash this indictment on the
ground that a brother of the prose

It also takes sober and industrious

kind of a father they shall hav-*.

Don’t Use Any Remedy That Keep*
Its Formula a Secret.
People who are troubled with stom-
weakness cannot afford to use
remedy iirtlo-. they know what
it contains.
Miona Is not a mere
riving onlv temporary relief,
d'gestive
but a
specific for al! dirorders of the diges
tive organs, and so effects a perma
nent cur? for stomach troubles.
Your physician will tell you that
nothing is better than a combination
| of chemically pure bismuch subgallate
to allay any inflammation of the
stomach and bowels: cerium oxalate,
to strengthen the stomach nerves;
sodium bicarbonate, which ncutralia-
es the poislnous acids that are pres
ent in stomach troubles; and nux
vomica, which will restore vigor to
the digestive organs and tone the
whole nervous system.
This combination is found only in
Mio-na stomach tablets, and it so
rarelv fails to strengthen the digestive
t-ystem and cure all forms of stom
ach disorders, that the Gaffnev Drug
Co. sell tbA remedy under a guaran
tee to refund the money unless It
cures.
If you suffer from indigestion, dis
tress after eating, specks before the
eyes, headaches, pains in the hack
and side, emaciation, bloatin'', nerv
ousness, sleeplessness, or anv of the
other svrantoms of stomach trouble*,
this!begin the use of Miona stomach tab
lets at once. The Gaffney Drue Co.
sell them in 50c boxes with a guaran
tee* to refund money unless they cure.
