High license as the solution for Charleston's liquor problem has advanced one step foward at this session of the Legislature of South Carolina. Efforts to secure a modification of the dispensary system for Charleston county, continued during the 20 years cf the dispensary regime, at last found at least a modicum of success, when the House mi/vkf rn f krv Dtf f r nun.* mgIIu j-'ttNcu uir iviiicruucig bill cdling for a high license wholesale and retail liquor system. The measure goes to the Senate, where itwill be debated this week. Its i:a the upper House is doubtful. The passage of the high license bill, together with the adoption of the Fortner resolution for the investigation of the last Democratic primary election, with a hearing before the Hfluse and Senate committees on the proposed two-cent railroad law, _ and Maj W L Glaze's refusal to re as judge irom first district, 'ssitating a new election, have \the most interesting events of ast few days. Worthy of some though largely a local matter, ie passage to third reading of ifton bill giving certain counle right to vote on the quesf retaining prohibition, or ing back the county dispensary m. The measure was passed ird reading after a vigorous te. e course of the Rittenberg bill ,g Charleston its long desired littsinn tn n>him tn fKo lir?onco P| em was probably the most notaA* feature of the entire week, ^ith intense interest every one who has observed the status of the liquor traffic in Charleston watched the measure pass through the House, its majority at one time dwindling to three votes. The debate on the bill was of an unusually frank nature.the members plainly giving their opinions on the bill and its probable effects on conditions in Charleston, where, it is contended, there is wiHp.cnrond disrespect^for constituted authority owing to the failure to enforce the liquor law.

The Rittenberg bill, accepted generally as the first step for Charleston's much desired return to the bar room system, provides for high license for retail and wholesale houses, the only restriction being the constitutional inhibition of sales except in original packages and similar prohibition against drinking on the premises. Friday saw also the passing of the Fortner resolution calling for the investigation of the part said to have been played by the railroads during the primary campaign last summer. Requests from P A Willcox of Florence, counsel for the Atlantic Coast Line, and Christie Bennett of Columbia, were presented to the House. They urged a full investigation. After some debate on the wording of the resolution, it was given its second reading. Its fate in the Senate can not be forecast. A? ? LI11 r. C I MA r?A1?f AtlAA Anuuitr UUl U1 impui wuivc sv-utuuled for appearance in the House this week is the compulsory education measure introduced by Mr McCravey of Pickens. The measure, which has been introduced in the Senate by Mr Lawson, ha3 received a favorable report from the committee on Education of the House. The bill, approved by the State Superintendent of Education and other men notable in scholastic circles, provides for local option on the question of compulsory education, leaving each city, town and school district to hold an election and decide whether it wishes to force its children to go to the schools provided by the State. In the Senate one of the most interesting bills to be taken up this week is the McLaurin warehouse measure. This bill, introduced by Senator John L McLaurin, formerly United State Senator from South Carolina, provides for a State warehouse system, under the control of i a commission to be elected by the Legislature. The author of the bill is inclined to believe that in this system is to be found relief from the unscientific methods of marketing which have proved so baneful to the cotton growers of the South. He thinks it will result in better conditions, as regards credit and ability to hold for higher prices.

Mr 1 Editor, ain't that a strange looking * country? 1 Well, we got to Washington, D C, 1 at 11:50. There Mr J W Hill met us and took us over to the Ebbett House. Next morning Prof 0 B Martin and Mr Benson came and ( these gentlemen gave us a pleasant i trip to Mount Vernon, showing us t the Washington mansion, the bed the first President died on, the trees he planted and the one he scarred with his hatchet. I got an emblem of the hatchet and saw the casket his body rests in, with fresh roses and blue ribbon attached, upon it. t I also went in an elevator up 555 feet to the top of his monument. Went to the Government mints, where a lady showed us a million dollar bill ( Mercantile j pany J, |T. nd are interested in, the | > ase of what quality means I . ur customer. | zk of General Merchandise, 1 j nplements,Etc., we are in 1 ellent service; Tempting ments and money saving i on your fertilizer require13, as well as your bean ved a shipment of Black y D.
