r.ess that this State has known t
within some forty years Nothing

short of a miracle can even

senate on the second reading of ^
the Carey Cothran bill, which in P
time wipes out the State dispen li
sary system and provides lor 11
local option between prohibi v
tion and county dispensaries, 11
was decisive---15 to 21, and c
with all senators present and *
voting. 17 to 24, which is a great
er majorit}* than the anti dis t
pensaryites had themselves g
ever expected. One more read- t

appears, which (bill) supple- n
ments the Carey- Cothran tneas-: f
nre by providing that the State ; l1
dispensary be taken in charge t
bv a commission of tive to be a
appointed by the governor to $
dispose of all the property of
the dispensary and completely J n
and finally wind up its affairs. , fi
This action of the General e
Assembly is the most momen- t
tous event in the history of' g
x Ti AU~ I
recent years, n is mc uvci-i
throw of a system which hasie
dominated and shaped the poli Is
cy of the government along this v
line for more than a decade and J1;
is the inauguration of a new or- j t
der of things, a new era. It is a I e
tremendous revolution- There J o
are man}' who sincerely believe! v
that it is a gigantic stride tow- o
ards better things and brighter s
civilization; and may time prove r
them correct in their anticipa- n
tions. The hill is too lengtny u
to reproduce here and too in- i:
volved to explain in this arti- f:
cle. The readers of The Record r
i
have the general idea and the t
details will be made public dur- a
in# the progress of events, a
Should the most ardent dispen- t;
saryites attempt to delay matters
by blocking the inaugura- S
tion of the new system through c
injunction and other expedients d
for retarding what is not desired
by the "hate- to-give ups", it a
will be nothing more than should j,
be expected. j
Governor Ansel Saturday t
removed from office the entire s
State dispensary board for mis- a
conduct and incapacity in office
in the recent stocking of the ^
State dispensary with nearly 0
seven hundred thousand dollars o
of whiskey, much of it worth- u
less stuff, bought without bids o
? a?? ? i?
ancl at prices entirely ivu uigu. p
They were given full and pa- q
tient hearing but the facts were t
too evident and the gover- t
ucr did not hesitate one mom- g
ent to kick the whole crew, Rawinson,
Wylie and Black, out of s
the position. Their attorneys j;
have, of course, taken the mat- c
ter into the supreme court in e
the desire to hold on as long as c
j Tuesday, Noon, Pre
.here is a there is a thread to
vliicb tliey may cling-.
A resolution has passed the
louse, and will probably go
hrough the senate, which pro'ides
that the matter of repealng
the lien law shall be submited
to the people at the next geneal
election. The meaning of this
5 that that question will be one
r a \. i - i ? .til a.
nine leaning issues 01 uie ucal|
ampaign, aud prospective canMates
would be wise to take
ote and begin pluming themelves.
The passenger rate bill has
een continued till next session
or the ostensible purpose of
atbering information, <many
eclaring that there is not sufcient
data before them to jusIfy
a satisfactory conclusion as
o whether snch reduction is
warranted or not.
The bill raising the per diem
3r dieting prisoners in jail
rom 20 to 25 cents per day has
assed both houses. Hence it
> pretty safe to presume that
t will become law. With proisions
as high as they now are
t is hard too see how sheriffs
an feed their prisoners on even
5 cents per day.
The house Monday attempted
o kill the department of immi rntion
hv vntin<r to nit down
"" "J ~?p? ?
he appropriation from $10,000
o $3,000. There are many -who
elieve that it would be wiser to
bolish the department alto
ether than render it practicaly
useless by refusing enough
lonev with which to render efective
service. The senate will
robably insist upon restoring
he recommendation of the ways
nd means committee, which is
10,000.
The hours of labor in cotton
lills will be limited to ten, the
ill providing this having passd
both houses and lacking of
he final stamp of approval to
o upon the statute books.
A few nights ago memorial
xercises were held in honor of
enator W. J. Johnson of Aiken,
rho died in the latter part of i
istsuminer. This calls to mind
lie fact that since the writer
ntered that body not a session
f the Assembly has been held
?'ithout such exercises in memry
of some senator or repreentative
who had died. Few
ealize that in all probability
lore men, in proportion tonumers,
go from a seat in the legslature
to their graves than
rom any other walk in life. Jt
eally seems that there is some
ruth in the oft-repeated declartion
that the man who accepts
commission in the Assembly
akes his life in his hands.
The proposition to sell the
tate farms and put penitentiary
onvicts on public roads was
efeated in the lower branch.
The increase of $25,000 in the
ppropriation for pensions makig
the total $250,000 will in all
Ikelihood stand as it has gone
hrough the house and there
eems no disposition in the sente
to interfere.
The Raysor high school bill,
mien carries an apprupriatiuu
f $50,000, is now safe. This is
ne of the most important measres
of the entire session. It
pens the way fer children of
parents of limited means to aeuire
a good high school educaion
at or near home. The deails
of this measure will be
iven in a later articles.
A measure which passed the
enate Friday without attract g
much attention and wihch
>ught to succeed in the other
nd of the Capitol is that de:laring
the violation of a lease
ceding Date of Issue,
me, ?
of lauds and a failure or refusal
to enter upon the due perform- . ,/
anceof the contract for leasing
lands a misdemeanor and providing
punishment. This is of
great importance tc landlords
and its passage will remedy
what amounts to a real evil in
many cases.
The State levy for taxes has
been reduced one-half of a mill " j
and the levy for Williamsburg
has also been cut down the
same amount?is a reductibn * ' ^
for us of one mill, which appears
quite a substantial reduction in
one year and that, too, in the
face of the fact that we of this

pay, in addition to our regular
expenses.
The General Assembly will in.
all probability adjourn next
Saturday. In tbe next issue we
hope to give a summary of all
the important work of the session,
including those measures
that will inaugurate new policies
as well as those altering
existing conditions.

At the Connie Maxwell. Bennettsville,
February 6:
?Below is an extract from a report
on Connie Maxwell Orphanage

a pupil of the Baptist Sundayschool
last Sunday:
"Ben Tillman has greatly
damaged things for the Orphanage
with that famous rate bill. . '
Everybody bragged on him for
it, but now comes the time to- ?

pay for the fun. The rail- ?
roads were giving the Orphanage
above a thousand dollars a
year in freight charges bnt now
they can't do it, because it is
against the law.
