[ NOTES AND COMMENTS. ! n I ! lJ Governor Ellerbe makes out a ^ bad case against .1 udge Simonton,, C y ; the great usurper, in bis message. j _ i lie doesn't use as vigorous Ian-j 81 ; gunge in his "bill of indictment" ? ~ as did Tillman and Evans,but it is h - evident that he had vigorous lan- 11 guage in his mind.. And next time ho had as well use it, if it isn't too h . bad to print. It would do no good, n but it makes entertaining read- ti ing; and one had as well speak ^ his mind when discussing Ruch ? men as Simonton?he couldn't say h 1 anything too bad. a 6 n 1 I do not know, but I believe 1 f 1 the Legislature would make a ' mistake if it were to follow the ? advice of the Governor and elim- * e inate the prolit feature of the dis- c pensary. The friends of the dis- 11 e pensary do not believe iu it for e the money there is iu it?there '' are other ways of dealing with c the liquor question that more ? money could be made for the 0 State than can be made by the P k dispensary law ; but at the same 11 I, time they believe, or most of them n . do, that it is best, for several reu .. I sons, that something should be 81 ? ! made out of it. c *. * >' b ^ j* i This is a bad time to increase j , T) I expenses of the State; yet a Gill ' ..has been introduced in the hogis-js i I.. l._ .ii. i: . ? i I liiuini iu iiiaivu judicial , ?11<tric*t?to make another Judge, solicitor, and stenographer.
