LANCASTER ENTERPRISE Published > very Wednesday -liV ? The iintirprise - Publishing Company A. J. CLARK, I FEBRUARY, - - - 10. 1898. The legislature has appointed to day to adjourn sine die. The Senate defeated that free-pass bill passed by the House. In this issue we reprint several articles that should be of special interest to the farmei and the gardener. If you are interested in a garden or a farm, you may get some good ideas by reading these articles. We commend them to your thoughtful attention. The County (iovernment Bill. 4J t f * * ? oeverai liiquor mm Ann* Liquor Measures. Lee County All Right. Register, 14. The principle matter of interest iti the proceedings of the house of representatives last week was the disposition of the Chihls bill. It has been recorded, a strong tight was made upon this measure on the ground that it was not an absolute prohibition hill, giving drug stores the power to sell whiskey for medicinal purposes, such power being subject to perversion by unprincipled men. However, that appears to have been more of an excuse than a reason, for Mr. Livingston's amendment, even more stringent in its restrictions, was overwhelmingly defeated. ? Mr. Pollock's substitute bill su tie red the same late, llis bill provided for the dispensary to remain unchanged, save to pay twenty per cent, of the gross receipts to the county treasurer, the same provisions allecting the original package shops similarly. When the original Childs bill, untouched by amendments came to be voted upon, it was killed by a voie c>i ;to oy. * * * Mr. Verner's hill, however was much more fortunate. It provides that the counties of Oconee, Pickens and York he exempt from the operations of the (lis pensary law. The principle in volved was that such counties ahad prohibition before the da\s ot the dispensary should not he forced or allowed to have dispensari^i within their borders. The cot, ,?s above named are almost unanimously in tavor ot prohibition. * * * The legislative appropriation hill has passed its second and third readings in the house. It was based upon adjournment on the ltlth. and there is now little doubt but that the general as ernbly will come to a close upon that day. * * * The county government hill, which has passed the senate, is now in the house passing its second reading. Its own father would scarcely recognize it. so wonderlully has it heen aincnileil. There ar<i no radical changes in the loll as amended.save that the precut system ol'drawing .juries is re tained. This hill does away with the county heard of commission or>, consisting ol a supervisor and the chairman of each township1 hoard, and provides instead for a u.ii.i .... : - ?i ?<?.??? a* ?a -MIM I >!-??!

When the hill was returned to the house a spirited controversy ensued and the house ret used to accede to the senate's amendment. The senato also granted $2,500 to the State Fair Association, but the house does not approve of this either. However the Adjutant General will get his $500 lor holding inspections. * * * Two new counties fought for a foothold in the house this week. mi. . i _ i? t _ _ __ -i r i / i nai oi i^ee, composed 01 pans 01 Sumter, Darlington and Kershaw, was passed by a very llattering majority. Pee Dee, to be composed of part of Marion failed, but a concurrent resolution Iuib passed the house by more than a twothirds vote declaring the election fraudulent, void and no election and requesting the governor to order a fair election to be held at a convenient date. This resolution is now in the senate with every indication that it will pass. The capital of Lee county will be Bishopville. * * * And this suggests how few of our counties bear Indian names.

THE HOW OYER. , j Grip Packed And the Spanish | Letter Writer is Heady to Shake American Mud From His Feet?His Succesor. Madrid, Feb. 11.?The Impar- < ciale, referring to the resignation i of Senor Deputy de Lome says: "The government was wise to accept Senor de Lome's resignation. His indiscretion has only occasioned the government vexation." The Liberal takes the same view of the case, and adds : "We do , not wish to blame the vile con duct of the persons capable of J such a theft. The rellections contained in the official and pri- 1 vate correspondence of Mr. Tay- ( lor were far graver." The premier, Senor Sagasta, said to the correspondent of the Associated Tress: tkl was surprised at Senor de Lome's letter, for in all his communications, official and'private, addressed to the government, he spoke respectfully of Tresident McKinley. I regret Senor de Lome's indiscre- I tion and folly, for he has rendered ] Spain signal service at Washing- ! j ton." On the <i nest ion of Senor de i l Lome's successor, Senor Sagasta ; was reticent. According to a dispatch received herefrom Havana, the letter of Senor do Lome to Catialejas was i abstracted by the person charge i to forward it to the latter and it is added, the person received < $ 1,000.

CONCERNS OUR DAILY FOOD. I'rot. Mallet Believes There in Serious Danger In The Alum Baking Powder. The increased cost of cream of tartar, the chief ingredient of a pure baking powder, has induced some manufacturers to substitute burnt alum (which costs but three cents a pound) largely or wholly in lieu thereof, making a very low cost but unwholsome baking powder; and efforts are i made to sell these inferior pow- j tiers by the inducement o( a lower price, and by false representa-1 tions as to their ingredients and comparative value. Our most eminent physicians are continuosly warning the public against the use of alum bak ........i i -< jiwnucis, ueciiusK 01 ino unwholesome qualities which they impart to the food. I)r. J. W. Mallei, I'rof. of Chemistry at the I'niversity of Virginia, a scientist of the very highest reputation both in this country and abroad, who has made an elaborate and exhaustive investigation of the subject says: UI am decidedly of the opinion that both the substance (alum) itself and the products to which it gives rise in course of making bread, are injurious to health, and on that account tall into the list of such food accessories as should on sanitary grounds be prohibited by law." When an authority so well I known and highly respected as Dr. Mallet makes this statement, ii behooves every housewife to take every means in her newer in insure her family against tuse! r?l* these dangerous goods. It would Im> <|tiifo irupossible to give i lie names of the alum baking powders in the market, hut the danger from alum would t seem to he serious and alarming, { because of ther prominence in alinost every grocer's stock. <Iener ally speaking. they are sold at a lower price.
