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.

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.

A newspaper bin no right to ad vise

views of sensible editors arc valuable
on all subjects and a hint is sometimes
serviceable to a big politician, fifo it in

of the "lien" merchant. But tVis is a

TlSKR, There is no question but that
thoro has been in the past greul
slovenliness In preparing our cotton
for the market, from the Held to the
putting it into packages. The immense
production now and the low price
must lead to tho study of economy in
all tho stages of production of this >sta

Spanish Minister at Washington, De
Lome, in a lettor homo uses this lang

"weak and catering to the rabble"
(Tom Reed and tho Republican mem

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Kill a bottlo or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
Pour hours; a sediment or seit ling
indicates an unhealthy condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble Too froquoul dosiro to
urinate or pain in the back,is :ils<?
onvincingproof that tho kidnoys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Thoro is comfort in the kuowl
odgo so often expressed, that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, llie great
kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kid
ney-, liver, bladder and every one
<d the urinary passages. It cor
rects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain or passing it. or bad
offoota following use of liquor,
wino or beer, and overcomes thpt
unpleasant necessity of bo?ug
compelled to got up many time*
during tin- night to urinate. The
mild and tho extraordinary elTo/Jts
of Swamp-Root is soon realised,
Ii stands tho highest for its Won
derful cures of the most dytross
