Hai l, I 'roprletor, JiAUKKNS, s. (!., Jan, 81, moo Ol R LKtJISLATUHK. Tiiere are three measures before the body looking to modiileatIon of tin Disponsary law. The Graydon BUI In tho Senate, under discussion, fixed the salary of the High Commissioner at $3,0(H>, a nice little Bum, and: Senator Shoppard olio rod an amend ment that the salary of the commis sioner he $1,000 lie did not see that the State Commissioner should he -.\ more important ofllcer t: an other State olficors. Is he to lie a man of higher character than the Slate Treasurer or Comptroller General? Why should he receive more? Senator Archer said that in view of tho stain and reproach that would he oast upon his character he should ro eclvo more. """?Senator Sheppard replied that the stain and reproach upon his char acter did not depend on his compensa tion, but upon the way he conducted his office. And thus we art: forcibly reminded that; "The gingle of the guinea helps Un hurt That honor feels.'' ?. Representative G. i'. smith lias a bill to put the Clerk's ohioe in this county on a salary footing and the criminal matters of the Sheriff's of fice upon a salary. In the meanwhile there is a loll pending to put all county officials in the state upon salaries, re ferred to a committee of one from each county, Lau re 08 being represented by Mr. Smith. It proposes $1,800 as salary for Clerk in lieu of all fees and costs, which he must collect for the State.? There is already a statute giving to the Clerk (450 00 on the criminal side which goes into effect next January.? Of course this is repealed by the pro - ..posed Act. The Sheriff Is to have a salary of $1,600 In lieu of fees for criminal business, ?_'(! cents a day for dieting prisoners, and fees in civil business, should the Act pass it could not afTcct the present incumbents dur- I ing the present term. The bill (which has an ancient and iisblike smell) providing for two more silk gowns?circuit .lodges was un mercifully garroled in the House.There was debate about the calendars ami business in Court getting congested and much of the blame for con tinuances was laid at the door of lazy lawyers. It. should be re membered, however, that it w?l Pat who being asked if he was "ready for trial answered?"not atal?atal yer worship:" and told to answer that he "would be tried by ''God and my coun try" answered?"not by him your Honor, lie knows all about it." And so it is not surprising that the poor fellow ?who is to be hung or have a heavy judgment passed upon him should seek to postpone tin: evil day. Representative Smith has a Hill to authorize Laurens fiscal officials to re fund our railroad County Bonds. It MUST pass ?it is a ground hog ease? we would be In a nice fix if we had them to pay now. A block of these bonds matures this winter. Repre sentative Holts is the onlv colored member of 1 be Assembly. He fought with skill the Bill to prevent shad being exported from the State. Citizen Josh Ashley was pitto;! against him and didn't want nets put into Wacca maw and wanted the shad to swim up the Saluda to Honea Path The col ored member urged that the shad was the fisherman's "crop" and cotton was Josh's and if the fish were stopped, m the cotton should be held in the State. There wur great fun, but the demo crats stood by the "brother in black" and the colored fisherman has his pic nic in shipping his shad to the Hosten plutocrat. Dispensary is the menu for the next few days. '' he lull to pension maiucd soldiers nndt r was killed. Bill lo forbid chtldn n working in factories, killed.

(Tho body politic is sick indeed that needs bo much doctoring.) There was a bill to license Gypsies and fortune tellers! (Things are looking ugly for us.) "Home, Sweot Home," should be the song. * * " Sparring for Points. In the 1'nited States Senate the coming census was under discussion. During the debate which followed the motion, Senator ( handler and Senator Tillmun were pitted against each other, Senator Chandler declar ing that it wou'd be impossible for even the South Carolinian to ?et the necessary information within the period of thirty days. "Possibly," responded Senator Till ?I am not so nervous or so much grasshopper as the Senator lew Hampshire." dtchfork never touches a grass said Senator Chandler in re Bally, and Senator Tlllman's drowned in the burst of illicit followed. bos cd salary Bill is Intended an economical administra tion bfeout'.iy affairs. The proposi tions before the Legislature as appli cable to the Sheriff's office appear rea sonable and necessary. It is different as to the Clerk's office. The, salary for this officer in Criminal matters is very well. Outside of 01'imlnal matters,the Clerk's fees should stand. The pro vision thai he should collect fees for recording and on every suit com menced and turn the same over to the State or County is impracticable.? Many poor men will not have tho monoy to pay cash and will thus be prevented asserting their rights in the Courts or having their papers re corded. Besides, many cases in course of litigation arc compromised and the proposed legislation will make this im practicable. V It se?ms that the dispensary has a Strong cinch on the Legislature. It. pays to the State about $100,000 and to that extent relieves from taxation.But for this It would go?in fnot it would long ago have gone?knocked down. This tiling of money In one's purse Is a very intoxicating thing ? once a taste of Intoxication It Is difficult to bo thrown off. * < * * In a talk with a State Reporter Sena tor K. 0?
