BALL, Proprietor. LAURENS, S. C. Feb. 15, 1898. OLK SOLONS. To-morrow i-, fixed for adjournment sink die. There hna boon little legis? lation of a gonoral eharaotor affecting tho State at largo. Tho Dispensary was the question of questions from the jump but as we prophesied nothing bus been done. Prom the dwarf to the giant Statesman evory mothers son of them was wary on this burning ques tion, looking to go to Congress, to he Governor, or on the Board of Control, upon tho issue?dispensary or no dispensary. Mr. child's prohibition bill was finally knookod out. Oconee, York and L'lokons have been exempted from the operation of the Dlsponsary Law. These aro border counties, r> - mote from the demoralizing center-; of oivlllv.atlon (as it exist*-) and their Re presentatives urged that the taint of tho great moral institution imported by Tlllman and Gaunt from Gvorgy should not touch tllO hem of their gar moots. Let no thirsty soul venture Into tho confines of these political di visions. (Mr. Toolo wanted his salary reduction Hill made a special order. Mr. Stevonson thought tho salaries wore already below the dignity of tho offloos.) We should bo content If dignity is on top. Tho Senate killed the free pass bus ncss. It was a kindness to the states mon of the House. The county govornmout Act will likely bo matorlally amended. Tho Dispensary stands. * * a The State Agricultural Building where the Slate's liquor is kept turns out a water haul for the Stato. In Tillmau's tlmo it was ordered Fold and bought by Wesley at a low figure.? Tlllman set a guard upon it and Sec rotary of State Tlndal was directed to hold the'property and an Act was. passed by tho Legislature to hold hi pi harmless against tho costs. After a long tussle in tho Courts wo have A ist our cisj, the splendid property?aJfroat bill of costs, and we must pay dpnages for holding over und big baUK rents. It is said that the State will rent the building at $175 per month. Tho sam ple rooms are kept all over the State. Wo are not going to say that ' we said so," but the roadorsof Tin; Ayvklt* Tis ku kno* what we did say. It is'nt the lirst of the great volume of li?i lor enses that tho Mate has lost, and ?o class it as a liquor case because tho building i- the biggost liquor wa 0 house the State and the tomperancc people ever had. If Wesley falls to got his rent, he can have the remedy of soizing the liquors under a "dis tress" warrant, and without question he will havo on hand the biggest lot of ''guarantied ' unadulterated Stuff ever acquired by a private individual.? Wesloy, his descendants and frion Is may be envied by all those who uro given to looking up n wilic when it is red within the cup. V Advising Fanners. A newspaper bin no right to ad vise people?it is prosumptuous. Hut tin1 views of sensible editors arc valuable on all subjects and a hint is sometimes serviceable to a big politician, fifo it in competent to suggost thai corn, wheat, outs and potatoes in abundance i 1 i<_rht be blinking the way to independence of the "lien" merchant. But tVis is a free country and people are bound to think and do as they please. Uffegyery fellow exercise his own judgmcittSunl savo his concern and sympathy \o\ himself.

The immense production now and the low price must lead to tho study of economy in all tho stages of production of this >sta ple. ? Spanish Minister at Washington, De Lome, in a lettor homo uses this lang uage rospocting President McKinley: "weak and catering to the rabble" (Tom Reed and tho Republican mem bers), "low politician who desiros to stand well with tho jingoes of his party." And now Do Lome must take to his trottors at onco for homo. Tillmau's whiskey BUI before Con gress was garoted in the Hotiso. So, .^,.jiou can't fool all tho pooplo all tho \ Wrr.n.
