MR. D. E. HYDRICK
ELECTED CHIEF JUSTICE
ON THE 42ND BALLOT-WHEELS OF
LEGISLATIVE HILL CLOGGED -STATEWIDE
PROHIBITION IMPROBABLE.
The Capitol, Columbia, February
16:?On Thursday night
Judge D E Hydrick was, on the
forty-second ballot, elected associate
instice of the supreme
court to succeed lion Ira B
i , Jones, elevated to the chief-jus
! ticeship. The tinal voce was Hydrick
103, Cothran 5*, Hon J C
F Sheppard's name having been j
I withdrawn at the close of the;
P fortj'-tirst ballot. At about the i
thirtieth ballot the entire Williamsburg'delegation,
regarding
him the equal ot any man in the
j race and believing it their duty
to do all in their power to bring
about an election, went to Judge
Hydrick and thereafter voted
for him to the end. This action
^ of our delegation was his first
L substantial gain and was the
HBPbeginn'ng of the end. Justice

Should the Assembly adjourn j
next Saturday,at which time the
usual forty days will expire, very
few new laws will go upon the
statute books. Not a single!
measure of general interest has
been finally voted upon. Not
more than fifteen or twenty acts
have been ratified and all are
either local or of small importance.
A bill has passed the lower
House providing lor an election
in Colleton,Dorchester and Fairfield
counties this year upon the
question of "dispensary" and
"no dispensary-', without the
preliminary petition.
Bt \^rhe State-wide prohibition j

the House, Friday, and since I

much and more and most talk
and filibustering. The bill will
very probably pass that body,
but by no means will the majorbe
as large as that given the
^^Kamebill a year ago. No one can
say what the action of the Sen^^ ate
will be, but the writer's im^^ pression
from the little that has
leaked out so far is that the sum
total of the final result ot all the
Hp noise will be that the Assembly
will adjourn without a prohibiflr
tion law being enacted or, at
H most, provision will be made
r tor a State election on the subject
of prohibition and local op

The Pe
tion as to county dispensaries.
Of course this impression may j
t>e wliollv wrontr. and it is jriven
only for what it is worth. There)
is unquestionably a strong de-j
maud throughout the State for a!
general law prohibiting the sale [
ol liquors, yet there is no deny- J
ing the fact- that some of the j
most profound and most power-!
ful prohibitionists of the land >
are of the opinion that our local
option county dispensary sys- ;
tern, which has in two years j
made one-half of the State .''dry" j
of its own volition, will bring j!
true prohibition sooner and bet- :
ter than any other statute proposed
, j1
The lien law has been up in,
the House, but no mention of it
has been heard in the Senate i
I
other than the effort to have it1
made a special order, which'1

The several bills relating- to
tish and game introduced by
Senator Bass have provoked in
the Senate probably as much attention
as any subject so far
considered. By the side of the (
liquor and lien law questions
these bills may seem of small ;
moment,but as was said by Sen- ,
ator Christensen on the lloor of
the Senate last Thursday, "there.,
is nothing that is of more vital
importance to the farmers of;
the State than the matter of the.
protection of birds and our
-r\or.nl*? mnrh* tn he terri

bly in earnest in the matter of j
regulating the taking of fish and
game."
The railroad commissioners
have ordered an inquiry into the
matter of the freight rates on \
fertilizers as the result of a visit j
of the sub-committee, of which ,
Mr Bryan was a member, of the i
House committee on Agriculture.
By the way, Mr Bryan is
the third ranking member of
that committee.
It has come to the writer s ears
that Mr Carter, although he has
had little,to say on the lloor of
the House, is one of the most
prompt, painstaking and useful
members of the Ways and Means
committee, the most important j
of all committees.
Mr Graham may a little
slow, but he "gits there just the
same." Whenever his name is
called it is answered and Williamsburg
will not be imposed
on so long as his na*e is called.
When a vote is polled his name
will be found where his good
sense tells him it ought to be.

repeal the lien law. This t

statistics of the leaf tobacco

without a dissenting vote. This
measure will be of much benefit
to tobacco growers, and the author
of the bill takes this opportunity
to thank Mr L A Winston
of Lake City for suggesting the
main features of the measure. It
is the intention of Senator Bass
to offer a bill next session for
gatheringcotton statistics along
somewhat similar lines.
Solicitor T SSease of Spartan

of the 7th circuit, to succeed
Judge Hydrick. Senator Otts

The repeal of the lien law is

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY OBSERVED?MATTERS
OF INTEREST IN BOTH
BRANCHES OF CONGRESS.
Washington, I) C,February 15:?
By a joint resolution late 011 the
12th inst, Congress made provision
for the observance of Friday, th*
12tb, the centennial of the birth of
Lincoln,as a special holiday and the
President's proclamation confirmed
the action of Congress, making it
effective in the District ofColum
bi?, Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico
and Hawaii. In anticipation of the
parage of the resolution, after he
had departed for Lincoln's birthplace
in Kentucky, the President had prepared
and signed a proclamation
which was issued as soon as the joint
resolution had been signed by Vice
President Fairbanks and Speaker
Cannon,
Near the cjose of the session ot ttie
House of Representatives, Mr Boutelle
of Illinois delivered a eulogy on
Lincoln of such force and simplicity
that I will venture to quote it here
believing it cannot have a too wide
circulation:
"No rtiler ever faced so hard a
task, or one beset with so many pitfails
as that which confronted Lincoln
when he entered the Presidency.
During all his term of service he
had to deal, not only with open enemies,
but with secret foes, faithless
friends and unscrupulous rivals.
"He endured the whips and scorns
of time with unfailing patience and
serenity, sometimes diverting the
force of the heaviest blows with the
shield of humor; and day after day
he bore without a murmur a load of
care that would have crushed a spirit
that hud not been nobly consecrated.
"But in the night watches, when
deep sleep falleth upon men, he trod
alone the loftiest heights of human
thought, communed in solitude with
God, drank deep from the cool cisterns
of Christian charily and came

another day with his soul purged of
all envy, hatred and malice and all
uncharitableness and with the light
of inspiration in his deep-set eyes.
We shall search m vain the messages,speeches
and letters of Lincoln
for one impatient,harsh or contemptuous
word directed against those
who differed with-him or sought to
thwart his designs."
The President has returned from
Kentucky where he went to officiate
at the laying of the corner stone at
the old Lincoln homestead in Larue
county and to deliver an address
there. The other speakers were ex

President-elect Taft is expected in

will ho.d a conference with the President
and some friends and it is
probable that at this time an authoritative
statement will be made
of the results of bis inspection of the

MR. P. L. BOtTLLIOUN, ?J18 State
St., Little Rock, Ark., writes:
[ "I hare been a sufferer with the asthma
for about four years, and I tried
different kinds o/ medicines and could
not find any relief for it.
"I tried your medicines, bought a bot|
tie of Peruna, and after taking ab$>ut
half of it I must say that I have not had
the asthma since. Before 1 took the tm>dicine
I did uot know what it was to go
to bed without havinc the asthma."
