Lake City, February 11:?Capt J J Morris, a veteran of the late war, has answered the last roll call, the end coming suddenly about 10 o'clock ! last night, due to acute indigestion. He had been indisposed at his home here for about two weeks. Mr Morris was; in his72d year,having moved here in 1887. He was a.member of Company I, Tenth South Carolina Volunteers, under Col Arthur M Manigault, and saw service in and around Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orleans. In 1872 he was married to Miss Mary E Moore, who died about fifteen years ago. He is Ku tir-ri hrnthprs Rpv F F Morris of Bennettsville and Henry B Morris of Durham, and by the following children: Rev T C Morris of Conway, J Justin Morris of Cheraw and Miss Bertha Morris,teacher in the local graded school. About the time Mr Morris moved here he was instrumental in organ' > i izing the Lake City Light Dragoons, which he served aB captain during its existence. He served on the council for a number of terms, was several times elected intendant and || for a great many years was a trustee nt the lneal Hrhnnls. The funeral service were conducted this afternoon at 5 o'clock by Rev W H Hodges in the Methodist church, of which he was always a consistent member and which he had for a long time served as steward. Mr Morris was well known throughout Williamsburg county, and was so well known to many that it were needless for this writer to urdertake to say anything more *bout him. However, a few facts of his career will be mentioned.

He served Williamsburg as a County Commissioner,to which office he was elected in 1886. Besides the positions named above, Mr Morris served as election commissioner, etc. Every position in which he was placed he filled well and honestly. There is not a stain on his record. During the struggle of "the nineties in building up the Lake City schools he was one of the staunchest and sturdiest supporters of principal and teachers. ... ! He was indeed a maniy man, an J excellent citizen, tried and true, an upright man and a man who stood for right, duty and honest livihg.

Provis- . ions of the bill are that but one f quart of liquor may be obtained ' each month, and this on a phsician'a j prescription. No provision is made for the use of whiskey as a beverage. Ministers of the srospel may procure ] a quart of wine each month for sacramental purposes. Prior to the passage of the DuRant bill numerous amendment were < offered in substitution. Last Friday ' night, the Bonham amendment, ' which was an emasculated form of j the bill by Senator D Reece Williams ^ of Lancaster, had been substituted. ] This provided for a quart of whiskey 1 each month, to be obtained on a per- I mith from the county Clerk of Court. ' Senator E C Epps of Williamsburg ( and Senator R D Epps of Sumter ] offered a "bone dry" amendment in i substitution of the Bonham amend- > ment Monday night when the prohibition issue first came up for discussion. When this had been tabled ; by avote of 29 to 11, numerous i other amendments were offered to 1 the Bonham amendment. When i this had been somewhat modified as ( to minor details, the Bonham amend- j ment was then lndenmteiy postponed by a vote of 23 to 15, but not 1 until Senator Hughes of Union had j made another fruitless effort to ( have it amended so as to provide for j the monthly allotment of 48 pints of i beer. With the DuRant bill thus 1 shorn of amendments, it was pass-! ed and sent to the House by a vote of 29 to 10. i Should the lower House approve, i the measure is to become effective 11 within twenty days after having been signed by the Governor. Section 11 of the DuRant bill, which was the storm centre about which continuous battle has been waged the , last four or five legislative days, reads: 1 "No common carrier shall deliver : any alcoholic liquors to any person not a physician until he has filed with j the delivering carrier a prescription, j signed by a physician of good standing, for thesame, bearing date within ! one week of said delivery, and containing the name of the patient, the , nature of the desease, and the signature of the physician, and also made and filed an affidavit that said patient | is sick and that said alcoholic liquors . or beverages are obtained for said , notion f fKof fVlO pflfljiornop ia 91 vpnro V| U1UV WUW W t*-? w A J v?*? w ( old and that he has not received any other package of alcoholic liquors or : beverages within the same calendar month, and also said that theoffice of delivering carrier is the nearest office to his place of residence; and said affidavits and prescriptions shall be filed according to dates of deliveries of said alcoholic liquors or beverages , and kept'one year bv said common 1 carrier, and shall be open to inspection by any person.

Columbia. Feb 13:?The bill creating a State Highway commission was sent to third reading in the House late tonight after a long de- 1 bate. Amendments were adopted ! providing for an automobile license tax of twenty-five cents a horsepower, in lieu of all county and mu aicipal license taxes, and providing that 10 per cent of the fund shall pro to the highway commission and 90 per cent remain the counties. The new fire insurance bill was signed tonight by Governor Manning. This has been regarded as the most important of the series of insurance bills framed with a view to securing the return to South Carolina of the insurance companies. ? The rating bill provides that if any complaints are made as to rates, they shall be referred to a commission of three, to be named by the Governor, one on the recommendation of the insurance commissioner, one on the recommendation of the insurance companies, and the other by the Governor himself. The insurance companies are allowed to main :ain rating bureaus aud to make their own rates. If for any period of five years the companies are I found to be making more tnan a j reasonable profit the rates are to be j reviewed and reduced. Late tonight the Senate passed the Liles House bill allowing circuit i judges $500 annually for expenses, after adopting an amendment making the same allowance for justices of the supreme court.
