There is justa little bit too muel of that sort of thing among agreas many people. saE JONES ON R A TR0ADs. -Rev. Sam Jones writes the. Atlanta Journal from Pennsylvania on rail Sroads and legislatures. He says ul there where the railroads are fat anc sleek the legislatures "can afford t< regulate and make their divide, but it SGeorgia we must keep off of our rail -roads until traffic increases, and wealth is accumulated by them. A country is never more prosperons than its rail roads, and after all, what would Penn sylvania or Georgia be without theil railroads? Let the .Legislature o: -Georgia tackle the Dog star or thf aurora borealis, and let the railroad& alone, at least until some ofthemecan get -out.of the hands of a receiver. Thesi law makers make many laws that are fatherless, or are like the little girl (th4 child of a traveling man) who was playing with a kitten; she said, 'Kitty Kitty, I do love you; you are so sweet and Kitty, I know your mama. OId Pussyis your mama, and I love Old Pussy; but Kitty, I never saw youi -papa. I speck your papa is a traveling man.' So many of the bills intro. duced by the average legislator, thi best that can besaid of them is thal their papa is a traveling man." Whrat Mr. Jones says of Georgit n~ ay be said with equal force aboul South Carolina. We believe nealy every road in the State is now inthe Shands of a receiver and none are mak ing any money, and yet our legislatoi seem beset on squeezing them stil . -.4 WeItbe bill has passed. and no doubt it will involve the State in c g[;il inore' ligation - The appropria- I tion bill this year has an item of $2,500 T for lawyers' feesir the railroad-eases, and we-doniot say-it is too much, but t it might have been saved. i c SItis too Iate now.

C. Dec. 26-In vineveri- C ias,freely translated into ourown verna cular, means that a drunken man will e speak the truth. And so last Friday c night one of the"boys" who was taking t his Christmas in advance spoke only a the literal truth when he said that the c term "Reform Party," as applied t to the dominant element in this state, c was a misnomer, and that they should ( be dubbed the "ruination Party." It is a sad truth that the General l Assembly. which has just finished its 1 first session has certainly exhibited c most -destructive tendencies, and has a not "reformed worth a cent. There is the "salary'r.duction bill"- t gone where the woodbine-twineth, the 6 whangdoodleroreath and the campaign c howler rejoices for his first born, is the a answer that echoes through the now t empty corridors of the State House. C Where is prohibition-killed in the 1 house of its - friends and a travesty t substituted for it, is the reply that is sadly heard as the tread of departing a feet dies atvay in the distance. t And where, oh, where is the much i talked of "reduction of taxation?" It comes in the shape of an increased t levy for State purposes, and our over- a burdended taxpayers,, many of whom E - find.it hard work to dodge the sherift, will pay, for the year 1893, one mill 1 more to the State than they did in 1892. a "Reform," as defined by the majority E of the State, Legislature, consists in harassing the; great corporations by i vexatious and arbitrary legislation, t and in destroying the. liquor business i in the-hands of individuals and mak- I ing the State the.vender of intoxicants. 1 Truly the mountain has labored and j brought forth a very, very small a mouse. Bt:e bi _ono.e What is done is done and. it- only remains for me to t coromele briefly the leadingevents of I the closing week of the session. C The week opened with a battle rovalon 1 'rohibitioin' in theSenate. The 'Kvans dispensary bil": was taken up as an amendment to the"Roper-Nettles bill", and in this shape was forced through a 1 second reading.'The minority, under I the skilled leadership of that able and acomplished'parhlamentarianl, Zenator. Smythe, of Charleston-ably seconded bf* his colleague, Senator Buist, and by< Senator Sloan, of Richland,.and others -made an all night fight of it, and attacked the bill with eloquence and logic that could not be answered. ~But it was all in vain. The fiat had 1 gone forth, and the royal command Inspakngagainst the Evansamend ment Senator Smythe said he could ~ not' see how the prohibitionist who, bases his opinion on moral grounds 1 could vote for a bill to. transfer the< Itraffic from.one channel to another. It was not right to embark the State inf such speculation. The cry of this Legr'ature is, Down with monopoly. Yet this is a monopoly of the worst kind. We are all going in as partners 4 to sell liquor. It is paternalism. Here we are creating a little army of govern ment employees. By this bill we send the State of South _Carolina into the market to buy liquor on credit. Senator- Buist made a three-hour speech -discussing almost everything under the sun. Several Senators rose to. points of order, asking that the Senator be allowed to speak sitting down, and inquiring if a member could be regarded as present when he was asleep. < The amendment passed its thirdt reading in the Senate Friday night at 8.30 o'clock and then the fight was 1 transferred to the House. There, as in< the Senate, the antis made a stubborn but fruitless fight. The speech of Mr. Sullivan, of Char leston, against the amendment was very funny. He said that it remindedt him of the Black Code. It was filled] with nothing but persecution and punishment. Under it you had to be< a villain or an angel. If you looked at a bottle unsealed you were a villian. if you buy one from the State sealed, yor.: are an angel. Under it liquor could. only be purchased in bottles. He hoped] the Legislature would not compel. him to carry hisadrink around in his pocket., Citizen Josh Ashley made a char acteristic speech against the bill. Het had come pledged for prohibition, but if anybody would show him any pro hibition he would eat it. The amend-i ment was .twenty-eight sections long. H was no lawyer but he knew that 'ing courts would decide in ten minutes tl t no such lengthy amendmiet couldi Vmade on the spur of the mInute.t here was no prohibitition'in it. Underc iou could not only buy liquor, butt thy compelled you to buy a wholet bottle in order to get any.t Mr. Thomas, of Columbia, gave the E most forcible argument against thef passage of the amendment. He said that on account of its great length it 1 was practically a new bill and it had a not been read three times in the House as was required of all bills by the Con- c stitution. The bill bad not been printed, s thus preventing all opportunity to con- 1I sider it. The bill did not relate to but one subject and that subject was not ~ Iexpressed in the title, as required by t the Constitution.( The arfhendment was passed by a vote c of 57 to 30, as follows: Yeas-Barry,-Breazeale, Buist, Car penter, Cox, Covington, Dendy, J.

Mr. Nettles, the prohibition leader, made the following statements: "I do i not favor this bill, but, believ' it to' to2 mnuch better than the pee ense system, and a long step towards rohibition-because by taking the ast amount of. capital .invested in quors the great influence it now has nil be greatly weakened-I vote for it, oping that soon we may be able, the apital of whisky removed, to enact-a robibition law, such as the House ill for which this bill was substi uted." . About 4 o'clock Saturday morning here was some consternation when it as found that the first page of the ill, containing the enacting words, ras missing from be engrossing de artment where it was being made eady for ratification. Some members rere quick to cry thief, but the miss ag page was soon found where it had een inadvertently left by one of the lerks who had been copying it. At 6.30 a. m. the bill was ratified by be two houses, consisting of about a ozen Representatives and a score of enators. The Governor signed the et Saturday morning, and it became: law. The bill provides that the State shall ike exclusive charge of the liquor raffle and invest $60,000, to be bor-' wed, in the business. Within thirty days after the approv I of the act the Governor shall ap oint a State Commissioner, believed o y him to be an abstainer from intox sants, who shall purchase all the $ quors that are to be sold. He shallive a Columbia and hold office for two ears. His salary shall be $1,800 and .e shall have a book-keeper at $1,200 I nd such other assistants as the Board a f Control may deem necessary. r There shall be a State Board of Con- 0 rol, consisting of the Governor, Comp- S roller General and Attorney General, rho shall make rules and regulations t a govern the sale of liquor by the iommissioner. County dispensaries are, then to be stablished for the sale of liquor under r ertain conditions. They shall be under ~ be control of county boards. There ball b,, only one dispenser in each ounty and he shall be appointed by 2 be county board of control by appli ation. Ten dispensers are allowed in arleston and three in Columbia. There are stringent provisions to d revent persons selling or even having a a their possession any liquor not pur- d based -from a dispensary. A dispen- f er shall not sell less than one-half int or more, than _ five gallons o .any person at any one time. itringent rules are prescribed for the a btaining of liquor from a dispenser, s uch as the signing of a- pslper hat the person is so many years Ild, lives at such and such a place, that e te is not a minor and that he is not in & he habit of using liquor to excess. b The act is to take effect July 1, 1893, h nd liquor licenses now in force will e continued t.. that time upon pay- t nentof one-third theannual license fee. f The State Commissioner is allowed o charge a profit of fifty per cent, on .11 liquors sold, for the - benefit of the b >tate. On Thursday Messrs. J. A. Sligh, of 1( ewberry, H. R. Thomas, of Sumter, c nd D. P. Duncan, of Union, were -o lected railroad commissioners. t Col. Duncan and Mr. Thomas are b nembers of the old board. The elec- a ion of Mr. Duncan was a surprise, as t was thought that Yeldell, of Edge Leld, Walter, oT Orangeburg, or Stan- s and, of Berkeley, would get the third a lace. The election of Messrs. Sligh and Thomas was a forgone conclusion and they got in on the first ballot. Mr. 'eldell's defeat was due to the fac hat the members had come to the ef that Edgefield liad gotten enou f the political pap. Otherwise itis leved that the Governor's lieutenant vould have been elected. All the members are prominent t iliancemen, and the result shows e hat the Alliance is still' a power in the and. 'MAILaoAD MN IN POLITCS. Apropos of the new railroad law it vill be interesting to note the attitude f the railroad employes of the State oward it. Last Thursday night they teld a meeting in this city, at which ome 400 men were present from differ t parts of the State. Nearly all of hem had been Tillmanitas and sup-1 orters of the present administra ion. They made red hotspeeches and lecided to invite all laboring men to oin in organizing~ "The Industrial Jnion of South Carolina." A commit ee was appointed to meet later and e raft a constitution and by-laws, afterC hich the union will be organized to ght the administration.. Resolutions were adopted condemn iing the Wilson railroad law as ii al to. all railroad corporations in south Carolina, affecting more es ecially the working men, and declar ng that there is a general disposition n the part of the present administra ion to work injury to the industrial ursuits of South .Carolina, which in urn affects the employers and em iloyes alike, and, if persisted in, meansE nin to the State. The law is de ounced as class legislation and intend d more particu'arly to injure the rail oads. The bill to provide for the forfeiture f the charter of any corporation char ered under the laws of this State venever such corporation shall refuse o pay the taxes as assessed is another bnoxious administration measure that assed the House and would have gone hrough the Senate, bad it not been or the fact that it did not come up to third reading until five hours before he time that tueLegislature adjourned. Even theni some of the administration nen tried to put it thr'ough, but most, f the S-uiatora were tired and gladly relcomed a moti. to cot#b.ne all the >ills that were stili on tle calendar - mtil nex t. esmi"i. It was admitedi onI the floor of the iouse that the .i1 was mainly aimed t the railroads, beinig intended to pre ent them from appealing to the Fed ral courts. The bill was so manifestly yrannical that several reformers ex ressed themselves against it. One of the big features of the session a the increase of the State tax levy rom four and a half mills to five and Shalf. The manner in which it was raised a one of the curiosities of the Legisla-. ure. The House was strongly in favor if a five-mill levy and it was stated by he ways and means committee and e chairman of the finance comnmitte at it would be sufficient to meet the xpenses, and at first every proposition rom the Senate to increase it was 'oted down, but during the closing tOUrs f the session, the Senate still in-_ isting on the increase, the House ither bad to recede from its position r prepare a new supply bill, and this rould have involved five days more agisation.7 'The result was a back down on the. >art of the House, notwithstanding d e strenuous protests of Josh Ashley, o jole. Blease and others. Citizen Josh ifered to stay the additional time ithout pay, but in this he bad no - ackers. He also said that the extra ime would cost only $5,000, wbile the dditioal half mili on the taxes of the eople would amount to $84,000. Mr. Blease made an earnest protest gainst agreeing tot the amendment, aying that he for one could not disre- I -rd the pledges of retrenchment adt eform that be made on the stump. During the House debate on the dis ensary bill there there was an excit ng incident. Representative Perry, f Greenvle; said that it appeared to tim that there was a deal between rewery men and the prohibitionists. Mr. Nettles, of Clarendon, asked if e meant to connect him with any leal. - J Mr. Perry's reply was: I ain't going IE o take that back-. 1I "Then the gentleman lies" shouted . ir. Nettles.E "And you tell a d-n lie, you scoun trel" answered Mr. Perry.

There % ere )ud lamentations which are now banged into shouts of joy on account f the bill having met the same fate in he Senate as the charter-forfeiture ill-continued until next session on count of being so low down on the alendar.
