The Capitol, Columbia, Feb- {
ruary 16: 1
The seuate, with a great show of t
patriotism and devotion to duty(?), e
passed a resolution providing for a li
continuation of the session to arch g
2. The house threw away the greatest a
opportunity of the times by refns- e<
V ing to concur. Had the house call- li
ed the "bluff," the State would have d
witnessed a most unusual sight, the rt
senate at work like a colony ofrbea- cl
vers. However, the house ecu Id tl
hardly have acted otherwise than
it did, for that body , has thrown pi
away a great deal more time this tl
session than the senate, which is la
ex&ctlv contrary to the conditions tb
* 4 - ~ ?
heretofore obtaining-. ta
In obedience to the law requiring
the salaries of auditors and treasurers
to be uniform and in proportion <]
to the assessed values of property yc
and the service required, the pay of ^
an
our auditor and treasurer has been
an
raised to $1,200 along with an equal ^
increase throughout the State. For 1>
the same reason jail fees have been Tl
n
put at 30 cents per day from 20 u
cents.
Likewise the salaries of all State
. officers are to be raised?the governor's
from $3,000 to $4,000, and the
-other officers increased about $400
-each. The Senate voted down a
< bill to raise the per diem of legisla- h<
* tors from $4.00 to $5.00. dc
The levy for State taxes will more
v> than exceed that of last year by a .
i good deal, probably about one rail],
y x which is a right big raise for a State h<
Vlevy. On the other hand, the levy
Williamsburg is very low?poe- M
aibly one of the lowest in the State,
2 3-4 mills. This is, of course, ex*
elusive of the one mill levy to repay to
the $12000 borrowed a year ago from
the Sinking Fond commission to
pay the debts of the "Roads and
Bridges Fund." Something like of
$4,000 of this debt will be paid with- SI
in the next few days, we understand.
The levy last year was 3 1-2 mills. ^
This indicates that, so far as our a
couuty i3 concerned, the exlrava- ki
gaace that prevails well nigh uni- fe
versally has not caused our officials
to lose their heads. Our county
commissioners asked for only $1-2,500
to be raised by direct taxation,
A little less tnan 2 3 4 mills would a<
. si
raise this very modest sum, but it u
was thought best to put the levy at fi
2 3*4 to allow for nulla bona execu- w
tious and for contingencies that
might happeu at the most unexpect- a
?d moment. u
II
The three matters of this session
which stand out in bold lines over- r
shadowing all others are, the repeal a
of the lien law, the labor contiact
matter and raiiroaa raie propositus.
To this a fourth may be added, r
which most might place first, the *
liquor question.
Some amendmeuts to the Carey- ^
v Cothran act will be passed, aud the v
State convention may be asked to sub- i
mit the question of State prohibition 1
to the voters at the next State primary
and the senate has passe d a re- ]
solution asking that that be done. t
The contract labor bill, which will i
iu all probability pass, cannot be ex- 1
plained in the short 6pace necessary k
to a letter. Later the full measure ]
as passed will no donbt be publish- <.
ed. The act will meet the require- t

went as nearly as possible without
dolatiDg the constitution or peonage
statutes.
The rate matter is quite unsettled
et aud final action is too indefinite
0 warrant a predictiou.
The senate refused to repeal the
ien law. This action was brought
bout'ljy the very se'iators who proessed
to be most in favor of repeal.
Cvery senator knows that repeal of
be lien law will have no practical
ffect unless chattel mortgages be
Imited to crops that arc up and
rowing, but several who seemed
niuous to repeal the hen act refus1
to vote for*proviso making such
mitation, whereupon other senators
eclined to be parties to tbe farce of
?neftlinir the lien law and leaving
I O r,
battel mortgages untouched, and
ius the Richards bill was killed.
The bill creati ng two new circuits
jssed the senate. The effect of
lis on Williamsburg, if it become
w, will be to take Florence out of
I
le third circuit. This will necesite
a new solicitor. W L B

ake something right away that will |
issist digestion; not samething that
rill stimulate for a time but sornehing
that will positively do the
ery work that the stomach performs
inder ordinary and normal conditons,
something that will make the

ake a natural digestant like Kodol

Founder of Monta Cario.
M. Blanc, the founder of the c?.
sino at Monte Carlo, was very ec-1
centric.
He was never known to play at
the table except on one occasion,
and then it was a somewhat costly
experience.
While on a visit to the Wiesbaden
casino with Mme. Blanc he was in
the habit of accompanying her on a
morning stroll each day. During one
of these walks madame complained
of the heat of the sun and requested
her husband to buy her a parasol.
Accordingly the two entered a shop,
where madame selected a very pretty
article, worth 80 francs, which
M. Blanc, with a scowl and a muttered
grumble, paid.
When the ciaind opened at .noon
great was the astonishment of the
croupiers and visitors to see M.
Blanc place 2 Iouis on the red at
one of the trente ^;t quarante ta- ,
blee. The attendants hastened to i
get him a chair, but this he de- ]
clined, saying he was only going to (
remain a few minotes. When the ,
cards were dealt he won, and, tafc- i
mg up his winnings,, left the orig- 1
mal atake on the tabJe. For a sec- 1
ond time he won and' had now got (
back the price of the umbrella. But,. 1
not conteirt, he ventured another ? i
loads, winch this time he lost.
Somewhat annoyed at this, the (
tKo nlana ifniiKlod tnp- 1
LlAUiUCl VI VUW wv ,
stake and wun, thus getting back
the cost of the umbrella again.
Determined, however, to regain)
his 2 louis, he staked it again, only
to see it raked) in by the bank. Thus-,,
he kept on winning and losing, but *
never able to recover the 2 louis,.<
till at last he found himself 25 louis <
out, all the gold his pocketbook cen- <
tained A thousand franc note he i
had was quickly changed and swal
lowed up. Then, becoming ezas- :
perated, he cashed his check for a !
large sum and, sitting down^ commenced
the battle in earnests Hour
ifter hour passed by, but M.. Blanc, I
Kii? orM ? <*? mti th<? fr?i?oherr>iie/
pasteboards, never budged from his <
post. ' He kept on planking down
heavy stakes until the last deal was
declared, when, calmly rising, he
seized his yellow cane and m&e hisway
through the gaping onlookers
into the open air.
On. reaching bame he founii Mme.
Blanc playing "patience" with apack
of cards, the offending parasol
being on the table. :
"Madame," sarxd the old gentleman,
"do you know what that thing
has cost me?"
"Mais oui, mon- ami. It cost you
BO francs."
