HASTY LEGISLATION.
The dispensary bill has been
studied and discussed so tho
roughly that many flaws in the
make-up of the Act have been
discovered. Many of its provi
sions are so vague that even its
friends do not understand how
to interpret them. Already
there is considerable discussion
as to what is meant by this or
that clause and some draw a
strict construction, which in
many cases would be very im
practicable to put into effect,
while others are more liberal
and are inclined to stretch the
letter to meet the evident intent
of the law. The opponents of
the dispensary are not the only
ones that fail to understand the
law, but its advocates also dif
fer in construing certain pro
visions.
The legality of certain pro
visions of the law has been con
sidered by the Supreme (’ourt
and that tribunal has decided
in favor of the Evans law. But
this does not affect the point
under discussion, because the
law is still faulty and open to
misconstruction.
The cause of this trouble is
not hard to ascertain, nor is its
moral obscure. It is due entire
ly to hasty legislation. This is
one of the greatest evils from
which this country suffers. It
is not a new trouble, however.
The present Legislature is no
worse in this respect than its
predecessors for many years
past and we also see this vicious
practice permeating the halls of
Congress Our Legislators have
for years spent the first part of
the session doing nothing but
draw their pay and as the clos
ing hours approached they nave
busied themselves in rushing
matters through. This is dang
erous and cannot be stopped too
soon. Many of our laws are
thus made faulty and untold
injury has been worked to the
country. To rush important
matters through the Legislature
without giving them due con
sideration is worse than not
passing them at all. Whatever
laws the people want let them
have them, but by all means
gave them laws that have been
so carefully prepared and so
thoroughly considered that
there will be no doubt as to
what is intended. Make the
provisions as plain as the “A.
B. C.’s” and then there will be
no doubt thrown upon their con
struction But to 'do this re
quires time and thought which
cannot be given to measures
when they are hastily rushed
through the Legislature. There
fore, let us do away with hasty
Legislation.

A LITER, L MINDED MAN.
An Interested 8 ectator Who Took m Po
litical St* ry in Ciood Faith.
The most enr >ux person in the audi
ence of a story t lit r is the literal minded
man. When (i neral Dix ran for gov
ernor there wr i great discussion as to
his age. -It was one of the controversies
of the canvass. His opponents claimed
that he was loot Id to fulfill the functions
of the office. Singularly enough, the
biographical db ionaries differed about
ten years. I w is making a speech at
Watertown to i very big audience. 1
was running at that time os a liberal
Republican for 1 eutenant governor upon
the same ticket vith Francis Kernan. It
was an immens outdoor audience. In
front of me slot 1 a man who watched
me during the t ree hours of ^iat speech
for the purpose f catching me on some
material point.
I finally took p the question of Gen
eral Dix’s age, p ive the dates of the va
rious biographi ;al dictionaries and en
cyclopedias, am. based a theory on how
old he must havbeen in the war of 1812,
where he was i lieutenant, and finally
said that the o. ly really authentic data
had been revei ed by some recent re
searches in the < denial records of Mas
sachusetts. It ad been discovered that
when the pilgri i fathers landed on Ply
mouth rock tl >y found General Dix
standing on tha historic spot and shout
ing that unless ley made him a justice
of the peace he would go over and join
the Indians, the point of which was that
the general had hanged his politics sev
eral times, andt- ery time he got an office.
My critical fr md saw his opportunity
and grasped it t once. He sprang up
with a shout th it could be heard to the
Canadian horde , “Mr. Depew, that is a
lie!" I looked t him for a moment to
see whether he lad swallowed the bait,
and fonnd thai he had taken it in hook
and line, bob ai l sinker, whole and all.
Then I stepped f o the front of the plat
form and said - ith great emphasis and
indignation, “S r, 1 have told that his
toric anecdote rom Montauk point to
Niagara falls tc hundreds of thonsands
of the intelligeu and educated people of
this great comi onwealth, and you are
the only man w .o ever had the audacity
to deny it.”
"It ain’t true Mr. Depew,” he repeat
ed, “because tl at happened more than

Harris Lithia Water,
HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters! from many
sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully p irsuaded that the Harris Lith
ia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the kidney and
bladder unequalled by any other water of which I have made trial.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects on my patients for the
past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freelyand almost
uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned.
When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use
of the water, for my experience teaches me that from one to too quarts daily
should be taken from two to four weeks, to secure its full remedial effect*.
