BAUSENS, S. C, Jou., 17, 1000 OUR LEGISLATURE. Both Houses show inclination for work. A resolution went whizzing through the House to investigate the Dispensary?the .Senate higgled at it ?roferrcd it and it is pending. Mr Simkins has a bill to remedy an irre gularity OS to Grand Jurors in this county, it will be law in a few du\s. Associate Justice Eugene Gary has been re-olected to serve for eight years from next July, when his present term expires. Mr. Gray don, of Abbeville, introduced in tho House a Joint Re solution to investigate Fertilizer Trusts, and to report If the Virginia Cemicnl Co. had violated the. anti Trust law of this State. About the re commendations of the Governor to dis pense with the Dispensary hoard of control and county boards, there will bo stout debate But Politicians will 1^ hesitate to rede CO lobs and there is not likely to bo radical changes. It is good policy to stick to jobs. Other wise the life in tiranco agent, the real "stale agent, the look agent, the clock peddler, and the str<ct vendci of im proved crystal glasses will burden the earth. It will not do to reduce jobs When Pandora's box was opened and tho thousand "ills that llosh is heir to" flow abroad the lid was closed and the hope of olllce alone remained. So long as there is a director in the Peniten tiary to be eleoled nobody need de spair and there are three to bo elected. A county court Bill passed the Senate and House, but as Luurens with twen ty-eight other counties is exempted from its operations wc do not give its provisions. Mr. Winklet has intro duced an elaborate bill to revolution ize the administration of tho Dispen sary. It preserves the sale monopoly to the counties and by Us many guards is a eavugo commentary upon tho management of the past. It ap peals to the cupidity of the Mute as u tux-saving agency, and in this is ob iectionablc, but it intends to prov.de healthful spirits for the stomachs of the drinkers, und the profits go to edu cate tho girls und boys. Tho head liar tender gets $.'{,000 and there .are many fat jobs provided ami the rush for them will be cyclonic This bill stands a good chance to win But there is one oncouraging prospect in all this. Seme bold legislator nitty prevail upon the State to monopolize the tobacco, and pistol and cartridge business and thus taxation will be abolished and no man in the State need bo concerned further about tho problem of keeping body and soul together. Bush the principle and after a while the more a man buys from the State the more the State will pay him b ck, and the tbousaudc of of ficial plums! Sumo Statesman has chance to eclipse Ben Tollman. A Bill has been Introduced to prevent shad being sent out of the State, fit should provide that a battalion from this lati tude with lyddite shells be sent to Georgetown to enforce the law.) One Solon is moving straight upon the cigarette column. Charleston is di recting her forces against the swamps W along our eastern shores and this is an ? indirect threat upon the mosquito F fleet. IIovuc passes a bill to require ' marriage license, 2? cents. Income tax Act will go There is danger of a big lump sum to rebuild the State House. In the House, composed of 124 members, Stevenson, of Cheraw. seems to be the bellwenther, with u Disposi tion cn the part Of Winkler, of Ke;? shuw and McGill, of Greenwood, to first got over the fence.

Nothing is presented to provoke antt.^onism, his idea to per potuate the Dispensary excepted.There may be some ou'side the General As sembly to combat his Excellency's position that the settled policy of the State to maintain Clomson, Winthrop and other State educational institu tions, should be adhered to. But the Governor will bo sustained in these views consonant with the well estab lished policy of the Stato in tho puss Ing as well as pust decides. All in all, it is a most practical paper, showing industrious Investigation and consid eration of public conditions and tho General Assembly, as woll as the peo ple, should feel that tho public inter oats are In safo hands. As to tho Dia ponsary It will probably be allowed to drift along and uftor awhile it will sink of its own weight. Nobody is car ing about it, or bothering, except the beneficiaries. It will not bo a question in tho ensuing campaign. If prohibi tion nuts forth a ticket, however, it will have to fight the "thrice armed" hosts of dispensary, and antl dispen sary. Should tho Governor be a can didate to succeed himself he nettl ap prehend no dispensary or anti-dispen sary Davids in his path. Gov.

And so with up in the caso of our good Governor. ' *** There hfte been sevoro criticism of a lecture of Judge Buchanan to a Jury at Spartanburg which failed to agree upon a verdict. Of course tho Judge and the Jury hnvo different functions. Tho Jury finds tho facts. But tho Judge might have occasion to say tart things?as whero there could bo no hook upon which to hang u doubt. Thero 1b much that transpires In tho Legislature that wo can't give to our readers?It would require roams of paper but wo will endeavor to koop them advised of all important matlora. v ' "Factional bitterness and Htrifo are thinga of the past, and the people are united for tho upbuilding, progress ? and development of tho entire State." ?Governor'a Message.

The paper?, BOmctimo since, stated that a church assent l>ly spent a foronoon in trying to (lud out whou tlie century would begin, and a very clever and in tell igen t gentieinau said ho would not cure to live into tho twentieth century. Ho simply Bpoke with out thinking, imagining, perhaps, that ho would have to bridge :i century to roach it. It is simple enough to anyone who will hold his thoughts for a moment. As it takes ten years to make a deoado and this is the last year of tho last decade of the cen tury, it. will 0I08O at 12 o'clock p. m. on the JMst of next Dooomber and the new century ushered in by the ringing of the jubilee bells all over tho world, beginning at Jerusalem, tho supposed centre of tho planet. There are those who persist in believing that they entered the new century on the first instant. They will find out later that thoy are mistaken. I regret that I was unablo to visit your hospitable city onco more before I returned home, in order to call upon some friends t had not met and to bid them all good bye. 1 was prevented from doing so by painful injuries sus tained in a fn'l and from tho ef fects of which 1 have not yet fv'i. recovered.

In every community there are per sons who cannot read or that do not take a newspaper, Those more fortu nate may do such persons a great favor by telling them of the time to make returns or by returning for them. The assessing and collecting taxes is done in t lie same year, and we have to aggregate I lie number and value of all horses, mules, cattle and other pieces ol" personal property, as well as i he acres of land, lots and buildings and their value that there are in this county, and have tlie same on file in the Comptroller General's office by the 30th of June of each year, and from that time to the first clay of October tin' Auditor's and Treasurer's dupli cate have to be completed and an ab stract ol the work in the Comptroller General's office by that time, which will show at a glance that the Auditor has no lime to take returns, or any thing else much, between the 1st day of October, but work on the hooks and the blanks.
