We regard this as a most excellent measure. \ The bill to provide for an election on the dispensary qties tion in prohibition counties m May instead of August," as the law provides at present, passed the Senate, hut was killed in the House. Cincinnatus Heine Miller, better known as "Joaquin Miller, the Poet of Sierras," died Monday at Oakland, California, at the age of seventy-two years. "Joaquin" Miller was one of the best known and best loved of American poets.

A paper whose subscription price is $2 would at least be $6 if it had no advertising patronage, hence every subscriber virtually get four dollars from the advertisers. It follows, then, that subscribers should have a kindly feeling for the advertisers in their paper, and give them the preference in the bestowal of their patronage, for the reason that one good turn deserves another.

SOME WISE, SOME OTHERWISE "MANY FREAK MEASURES. Columbia, February 15:?The execution of one bill and the passage ! of another, the pair having been ' much in the public eye, featured the ! first half of the week in the House. The action of the Senate in passing , of the bill to transfer the property 1 of the Medical College of South Carolina to the State was an item of note in the upper body. The bill to lose its head in the House was ; the Rembert bill to require editors : to open tne columns of their publications on demand of anyone who considered that anything appearing therein had reflected on his character or standing in the community and providing a penalty of a fine of I om) imnricnnmont fnr fiftu VVVV auu llll|/liuvuinvuv 4.V* *4* vj | days for failure to print free any communication which did not contain obscene language from the person who would write it and send it to the editor. The bill has been hard fought, opposition developing on the ground that the measure would confiscate the property of a newspaper and strike a blow at the freedom of the press, while the supporters of the bill declared that protection is needed by the people from attacks by the newspapers. The debate was extended, including two speeches on the question of personal privilege. The bill was defeated by only two votes, a vote of 55 to 53, following Dr McMillan's (Marion) motion to strike out the enacting words. Wednesday the House passed to third reading probably the most important measure it has considered during the session?the compulsory education bill. It was passed at the nicht session after the House Wednesday morning had refused to strike out the enacting words by the overwhelming vote of 91 to 19. The biil is sure of final passage and favorable action is expected in the Senate. The bill was introduced by Representative McCravey and provides that upon petition of one-third of the qualified electors in any school district in the State the county Board of Education is authorized to order an election upon the question "for compulsory attendance." If the majority of votes cast at this election is in favor of compulsory education the provisions of the McCravey bill go into effect in that district and all children between the norps nf S to 15 vears. not mentallv i-Ovw " ? ?- *r ' or physically disabled and whose labor is not necessary for their support, must attend the public school for a period of at least three months in each year, if the session be that long, provided they do not attend a private school. The trustees of the school district where compulsory attendance is in force are charged with the enforcement of the law. To this end the trustees may appoint agents. Parents or guardians of children of the prescribed age who dc not put them in school are subject to a fine of $2 to $10 for each offense. No appropriation is provided. The appropriation bill was reported in the House Tuesday night. It nm-vioo q fntol rtf 49 009 ?94 01 pn VOi I 1WO U V'VWJ V* yw|VVH)VM^)VA| M?? excess over the sum appropriated last year by 898,846.06. It is claimed, however, that there wili have to be no increase in the tax levy this year. The first reading of the bill came Tuesday night. J W Ashley has introduced a bill which would legalize lynching for criminal assault. The Judiciary committee returned unfavorable report on the bill and it will be killed. The proposed measure provides: "That it shall be a full and complete defence to the charge of murder or the charge of assault or as sault and battery with intent to kill or assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, for the defendand to prove by the preponderance of the testimony that the person killed or assaulted had been guilty of an assault on a reputable woman with the intent tc commit the crime of rape or ravishing a reputable woman." Several freak bills have been introduced in the House at this session. Following widespread agitation by the women of the State the House has passed to third reading a bill that will make hazing in South Carolina colleges a misdemeanor. The bill, said the author, was prompted by requests from women from all parts of South Carolina. Women's clubs have endorsed the bill in a protest against the practice of hazing. Under the provisions of the bill violations of the act will be punisheP by a fine of not more than $50 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days. An amendment was prepared making the provision of the bill also to football, but it was lost as was an amendment to except Wofford College from the provist sions. It is believed the bill will ^ receive favorable action at the hands of the Senate. The House has agreed to establish the John de la How Industrial school for destitute children in Abbeville county, between the towns of Abbeville and McCormick; an appropriation of $30,000 is made for this purpose. The State will thus take advantage of a bequest made by Dr John de la How in 1798, which comprised 1,800 acres of land and a sum of money amounting to $25,000. A recent decision of the supreme court removes all doubt as to the availibility of the de la How bequest fcr the purposes provided. The House will not consider the big question of a State warehouse system at this time. Wednesdaynight the bill was continued until next session. A similar bill is nowpending and caused extended debate in the Senate. Brian Bell. No Need to Stop Work. When the doctor orders you to stop work it staggers you. I can't, you say.

Last week Washington and Lee university, located at Lexington, Va, ^ ? - L/VAfAA 4 uecauie rcsiuuaij ic^awcr **ncu cue will of Mr Robert P Doremus, a New York broker, was admitted to probate. A communication to President H L Smith from Chas J McDemott, Esq, of New York, representing the executors, stated that the estate of Mr Doremus was estimated to be worth between one and and two millions,but press dispatches place the value at from two to five millions. After making bequests amounting to $160,000, the residuary estate is left as a trust fund to Mrs Doremus, at whose death it goes to Washington and Lee universaty, or if that instution has ceased to exist, to the University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, Va. Apparently nothing was known of Mr L*? MM?T fliA Zo/tlllftT L/urcmua uy euiy ui uic ioluhj ui Washington and Lee or those of the State most closely identified with this great Southern institution, also from the parenthetic sentence in the will: "or if that institution has ceased to exist," it would seem that Mr Doremus knew very little about the institution, which is one of the strongest in the South, having already an endowment of two millions or more. In Virginia it is a matter of speculation a j to what interested Mr Doremus in behalf of Washington and Lee university.

While the merchants of the city are not taking advantage of the parcels post the farmers are in s5me instances and they are finding it a great aid to business. A certain f#rmpr. whose name shall not be called because he would be so overwhelmed with orders that he could not fill them and would be getting after the paper for damages for putting the whole community on him, is sending in the prettiest golden yellow butter by parcel post and it costs the consumer just thirty-three cents delivered at his door. The butter is thirty cents a pound on the farm. You know what you are paying for it in the city and it costs six cents to get two pounds into Florence. The farmer's wife makes a good profit from the butter and the farm stock are not taken out of the field for a minute, and the consumer is nf course delighted. ? Florence Time*. Surprise Your Friends.
