''hero was nothing of t Very important nature done at thie vsson. * The dispensary latw was amended, but the mitli featilures of teio law remain 1 as heretofore. I have already m1on tiuned the provisions of tills law, but snIld you now a ttrue copy of the Act as ratile'1d and signed. f K ''he elections were hold on Friday, aml excited io speelal int.orest, and passed oif (tniet.ly. There were sove ral einelIdates for eomnmissioner, but HIepresentItivii Ii. II. ('rumn, of 1Ham berg, was an easy winner. lie has been chairmnan of the ways and means uomtnitteu for some Ltie, and Is at good Ian. lio will give his bond and tako etrago In t few days. There wero only Iwo eandidates for chairmlan of the bo.ard -Senator T. V. Mt Inland, of I)or elwstor, and Mr. L. .1. \Willians, of E-dgelield, who hts been oi the old inrd for several years. Ni r. VillIlats was elec'oil by at good majority. As I have stated he has boon a moluber of the ol l'oard for several years and Is a clean man, and no charges of wrong do Ing have been mado against him. For the ot her two mietmbers Iepresentat,ives 1hukes, of Oranlgeburg and Ii. 11. ;'vans, of Newberry, were eleceted on the lrs' ballot, M r. E-vans lead ing. In fact he rse'aived a very tlatterilng vote. Mr. Ivaims served as trial justice, M.ar3 Jr of Newherry for two years, and is just tinishinig one term in t.he ii'gIslature, aned is a lawyer by profession, and has con:.idertabtlu actinalntalne with publie ie'n nti atltirs. Nir. Dunkes seems to ie ait very clever gentletuan, and Is at m1wrohant. I have known himn only during thlis session, but he has im pressed mlo as a man of lItegrity mid chiaracter. 11 On ''lursday we had Villiamu Jen nings lh-yan and he charmed and c(aitivated every one who heard 01' saw himl. lie is. l believe, the most re uarkable mnan of this ago, and if it, were possible for htim to talk face to face with the people of this country he woild Io the next president of the I'nited States by the biggest. majority given any canidiate in recent years. Ills argt1umietnts are iovvinving, 1111d ile deep earnaestness and sincerit-y can not lie qiuestioned by any one who will lis ton to him speak, for no one could talk as he does who did not bellevo In the justice and the right of tho cause for which ho pleads. I wish every one could hato heard ithn, and those who dit not should read his speech. The State newspaper did ia ino piece of newspaper work In its report of Ilryan (ay in ('olumbla. They had a ver- 1 buatem report of both his speeches in Colubia. Thtent on S'atutrdIay we had a call from Mr'. Abner' McKinley, a br'other of l'resideut Melinley. Het was travel Inug South withI his famtily3 for his health and stopped over int (olutmbia for a day. Thereo was nto political signidelance to< his visit.. 'VT Senate defeated the pr'oposition for blenntial sessions. I will have somei thing mtore to tiay on this sutbjoet in a suubsequent letter. The Senate also irefus~ed to agreo to the pr'oposition to approprIate *l00,000i to tho public schools, but offTored a subh st.ituto to levy 6-i10 mills itn those coun tie's that wanted more mtoney for the public schtools out of the tar. This levy~ for the eantitre State would about raiso the $l100,000, and by increasing the lev'y was the on1ly way to secure the mtoey, antd by the pr'oposition of the Senato tIhose cout.ties that did not care for an increase in the tax could be left out., and the Hlouse then agreed not to isist on tho $I00,000 appropriation and I thatt item was stricken out. *t Final adjoutrnment was had Sunday mtornitng at six o'clock though the clocks In the House and Sena'. indi eated that it was only a few minutes past 11 o'clock p. m. Saturday.. There wereo only four 0or fivoe members of the Hiouse and as many Senators present when adjournment was had. Among the number wias Representative Blease ot Nowherry, who was on the .'ommit too to notify' the Govea'nor that theo business before the General Assembly had been concluded. ** The'- ilowing is the amendment to C tile Magistrate bill so far as it relates a to Newberry County:1 In Newborry County ten Magistrates 1. shall be appointed, one of whomi shall 1: reside in t ho Township No. I, one in the town of Prosp3rity, one in each oft the Townships Nos. 3, 4. 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, ~ and 1L.

Mr. Mann, rlecetetl on board of directors of the pon itent,iary is a member of the house from Abbvillo. Mr Love, also elected on the same board, is a member of the Senate from York. Messrs. Crum, .vans and D)ukes are also membors of the House. ''his would indicate that if a man watnted to securo a position within the gift of the Legislature, the way is through membership in the Legisla lure. E. H. A. No 19Ight, to Uig11ness.

The elections to fill the vacancies in Tho Stite dispensary management un lor the recently enacted law were held resterday. Thero were five applicants or the position of commnissionor, which >ays 03,000. There were two appli ants for the place of chairman of the oard of directors, which pays $4 per lay and milago for not exceeding 100 lays in the year. There were four Ipplicantb for the two remaining posi ,ions on the board. There was not yesterday the same lisgusting lobbying while the vote was n progress which characterized the )lections last year. One such blow at he life of the dispensary mado its sup. )orters too cautious. But before the )lections there were many rumors of )ancuses, of slates, of combinations, of rados and of swaps. And after the 5lections there were whisperings of enifing, of slates broken, etc. All of which would indicate that there is some )olitics in the old dispensary yet. There is no doubt that if the legisla tire had taken hold of the dispensary )roblem bravely during the first part >f the session, and if as much t'tno had >oen spent in careful thought upon the )ills introduced as upon the election of hese officials; if these things had hap >oncd at the first of the session, there s little or no doubt that more bills rould have been eonsidered instead o >eing allowed to dio on the calendar a over a hundred have done.

V eks, a prominent farmer who lives cight mInles from this place, tinade good hh escape, but was promiptly tracked by l posse toward 1'dgeflcld, his old home To assist in his arrest, Chief of l'oi(ec D. L. Weeks, of Aiken, sent out postaL cards ofering a reward for his arrest The negro got as far Creen wood count. and had gone to work when he wa arrested by an Edgefield man, who at soon as he saw the card describing Burts, located him. About 250 nn were in the posse. They br,ought th< negro back to this county, and whet they reached Bauskett's Mill half wai between Aiken and Trenton, at ! o'clock this morning, they swung ul the brute, but the rope broke and the, had to tie him up again. Then the' fired into his dead body and left foi their homes. Burts confessed tuat hi tried to cut, Mrs. Weeks' throat an kill her. He claimed they had word over the price of some meal he wat buying. Some of the crowd wanted ti keep the negro until tonight and havi a big.time, but wiser counsel prevailel and nothing barbarous was allowe<t The negro:imply paid the penalty fo his dastardly attelnpt.at crime. LATai PARTICULARS. Burts was caught near Ninety-Si: by a Mr. Cogburn, who received thi hundred dollars offered by Mr. Weeks On the return trip the party rested a Trenton and a number'of ladies dresse( and catmle out to view the man. Ot reaching I3auskett's mill an hour be fore daylight it was decided to lynci him there. An old clothesline wa: used for a rope, and after it was ad justed around his neck Burls was or dered to climb up on the limb of a bt oak tree. He was game, and without t murmur did as he was told. Then th< rope end was tied to a small saplint and the shooting,commenced. Insteat of falling backwards as they expecte( he fell forward to the ground and hac to be put up again. The body is stil swinging there. Your corresl;onden viewed it this afternoon. Burts was i young man, his forehead very flat 1' his face brutish. His clothing wa ragged and riddled with bullets, hi. right cheek was completely shot away. To his breast was pinned a piece of paper, on which was written "we will protect our wives, mothers and daugh ters." Two sticks on the railroad bank across the road from the body had handkerchiefs attached, evidently t( attract the attention of the engineers Some negroes in Aiken when they heard of the search for Hurts tried tc form a rescue party, but nothing came of the effort. Evidently the men engaged were de termined, and the sheriff himself could not have got him.

(Special to News and Courier.) Saluda, February 16.-On Thursday night last, at the bomne of Mr. Milledge Williams,near Saluda, Will Whittle was brained with. a stick of wood and died almost instantly. Whittle, who was drinking, used very abusive Ian guage toward Williates, in the latter's home. The drunken man was ordered out of the house. On reaching the yard he renewed his curses. Williams went Out and ordered him to leave the premises, whereupon Whittle drew a knife and started toward Williams. In order to save his own life Williams picked up a stick of wood lying near and, hurling it at WVhittle, struck him in the front of the head, crushing it., from which, as slated above, he soon died. Williams has always been looked upon as a quiet, law-abiding, inoffens lye citizen. Whittle was about 30 years of age. Much sympathy is expressed for Williams. Mr. W. W. Waddell, of Union, who, with his brother, F. H.
