THE WET AND DEY ELECTION
The election here on last Tuesday
resulted in a. splendid ^victory for the
friends of prohibition? A majority was
rolled op, which surprised the most
sanguine, and demonstrated the senti
ment of oar people with regard to the
Kqoor traffic in decisive and unmistaka
ble terms. Whatever may be the ad
rantages of high or low license, however
detrimental may be its absence to the
revenue of the town, and however con*
elusive may be the arguments to show
the folly of prohibition, one thing is
definitely and irrevocably settled, and
that is : whether right or wrong, wise
or foolish, the people desire to d Upen se
with bar-rooms her?.
* Among - : other ad van tages derived
from the late election is the rapid cvo
lotion of latent patriotism in many
bosoms; The jeopardy in which our
municipal revenue is seemingly placed
awakens no little concern in the minds
of the truly patriotic, and was really the
Die and very laudable cause, of the
feeble opposition that was made. Very
gloomy prognostications are made by
some of the defeated aide with reference !
to the effects of the measure upon the
business interests of the town?-those of
large observation (?) being very fearful
of the disastrous possibilities of the fo- j
- tore? but the experiment must be tried,
alUthe same, and one year hence those
of less experience may be able to see
whether or not the presence of bar-rooms
is a. necessary adjunct to financial and
social prosperity.
The deficiency occasioned by the re-1
fesal of license,. will doubtless be ad- ;
justed in a practicable way by our Coun- :
cil who are sagacious business men, and J
equal to the emergency. There if
some room for a reduction of expense,;
and when tbat is done we hope but a
small increase in taxes, will be sufficient
to meet the current expenses of the
town.
- The farmers in Georgia who run their
places on a credit appear to be between
the devil and the deep sea. They pay,
according to Mr. Wood, of Walker, 18
or'20"per cent, or, according to Mr.
Bartlett, of Bibb, from 50 to 75 per!
cent, to merchants. Either farming is
the. most profitable of all callings, or
Georgia farmers, who borrow money,
are on the road to ruin.
We clip the above item from an
Augusta paper, and would bear testi
mony that it is a true bill. The condi
tion of farmers who run their farms on
credit in any State is not only ruinous
to them financially, but manifests a total
"wane of sagacity and is a lamentable se
quence which is inevitable to a miserable
system of conducting farming opera
tions. In our State, where phosphates
. and commercial fertilizers, arc fostered
and where millions are invested in them
by the farmers of the country, to say
netting of the mortgages, lien law, and
the thousand and one debts incident
thereto; all contracted upon the basis
of 15 per cent., and even more, is it
any wonder why times' are bard and
money tight ? Farming is undoubtedly
' the most profitable of all callings when
systematically conducted, but when the
operations of the lien law and fertilizer
debts arc piled.upon it, likePelion upon
Ossa, there can be but one result, viz :
total Umkrvjttcy. It is therefore the
part of wisdom for our farmers to aban
don, at once and forever the old system,
and as they are entering upon a new
year, to enter also upon a new schedule
.of farming which will once again bring
peace and prosperity to their homes.
Avoid giving liens and practice the
utmost frugality and industry, and our
word for it, your farms and selves will
beta a far better condition next fall
than at present.
Horrible Crime.
Aiken, December 6.?Our town
and County has been excited, yes, hor
rified by th? commission of a crime so
Wicked, brutal and beastly as to pre
clude the possibility of transmitting its
details by telegraph or by almost any
other means of communication. Suffice
it to say tbat the calprit, who is now in
Aiken jail, is Dr. W. S. Sims of Vau
cluse in our County, and the victim of
his unparalleled brutality bis own wife.
The crime is one for which bur South
Carolina law has decreed no punish
ment for the simple reason that our law
givers never contemplated the possibil
ity of any one in human shape commit
ting such an infernal act as this Dr.
Sims, a man of cultivation and educa
tion, is believed to have committed.
Last night over one hundred men from
the scene of the tragedy came to Aiken
with deliberate purpose to take him
from the jail and lynch him, but Gov
ernor Thompson, apprised of the fact,
" telegraphed to Captain W. Wil
iams to call out the Palmetto Rifles to
report to Sheriff Holley. This was
promptly done, the jail was well dc
ded and the indignant crowd who
thered to inflict summary punish
the offender, finding them
THE LEGISLATURE.
[ seventh day.
J Senate.?The Senate met at 11.30 A. M.,
j President Sbeppard iu the chair.
The following bills were introduced and
referred to the appropriate committees :
Mr. Wallace?Bill to provide for the more,
speedy development of the Columbia Caoal.
This bill provides for the use of at least two
bendred and fifty able-bodied convicts daring
the year 1883 and the appropriation of $25,
000 from the income of the Penitentiary, over
and above the amount necessary for the sop
port of that institution, for the employment

chase of machinery and materials.
Mr. Benderson?Joint resolution invoking
Federal aid for the better promotion of the

house Or kepsesent atitss.
The House met at 11.30 A. M., Speaker
Simons presiding.
. Mr. W. T. Lesesne of Clarendon appeared
before the bar and qualified as a member Of
the House of Representatives.
The Speaker appointed the following com
mittee to consider and devise a plan for the
establishment of inferior Courts or to recom
mend changes in the. Triai Justice system :
Messrs. Livingstone, Croft, Ioglesby and
Scuddy.
A concurrent resolution was received from
the Senate invoking Federalaid in the pro
motion of education in this and other States
in the ratio of illiteracy. The House concur
red.
Among the bills introduced, the following
are the most important :
Mr. McAlhaoer?Bill to establish a new
judicial and election County from portions of
Colleton, Berkeley and Orangeburg Counties,
to be known as Dorchester County, to ascer
tain and define the boundaries of said Co an
ties, and to provide for and fix the salaries of
the'County officers thereof.
The Committee on Agriculture reported
favorably on bill to repealthe lien law and
bill to abolish the Bureau of Immigration. A
minority report was presented in reference to
the lien law.
The Committee on Way s and Means pre
sented an unfavorable report on bill authoriz
ing and requiring the County Treasurers to
rebate and refund to persons dealing in spirit
nons liquors portion of license fees paid in
since the 31st December, 1881. After expla
nations by Mr. Williams, the author of the
bill, it was recommitted.
The bill to amend and declare the law re
lating to the empanelling and challenging
of jurors was recommitted with amendments.
The House adjourned until Thursday at 11
o'clock. .
EIGHTH PAY.
The sensation of the day in the Senate was
the fight oo the bill incorporating the South
ern Land Loan Association, The bill had
been reported upon unfavorably by the ma
jority of the committee on incorporations and
was on the Calendar for a second reading.
An effort was made to secure its postpone
ment, btn Senator Gaillard, who bad intro
duced it, insisted that he would rather be
beaten squarley at once than have it contin
ued on the Calender. The vote was taken on
the adoption of the majority report, which
recommended that the bill do not pass, and
the following was the result :
Yeas?Brown, Byrd, Clyburc, Coker,
Earle, Ferguson,-Field, Harllee, Henderson,
Howell, Leitner, McCall, Moore of Hampton,
M?ller, Munroe, Perry, Redfearn, Sbanklin
and Wallace?19.
Nays?Beaty, Benbow, Buist, Gillard, Hart,
Lartigne, Maxwell, Moore of Spartanburg,
Smytheand Williams?10.
- Over the bill amending the charter of the
Town of Union there was an interesting fight.
The incorporations committee, in view of the
fact that a local option law had been passed J
by the last Legislature and of the difficulty of
ascertaining the sentiment of the places con
cerned, reported adversely on this bill, which
prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors in
Union. But it was argued with mach force
that there were many reasons for the passage
of the bill, and the Senate passed it by an
overwhelming majority.
The Senate committee on agriculture will re
port unfavorably on Senator Howell's bill,
modifying the Stock law.
THE HOUSE.
Mr. Boykin, of Kersbaw, introduced a joint
resolution to appropriate $100,000 for the
completion and protection of the State House.
Referred to the ways and means committee.
Notice was given to-day of the introduction
of fourteen new bills, of which the following
are the most important :
By Mr. Landrum, to repeal the usury law.
By Mr. Boykin, to amend Section 354 of
the General Statutes relating to the organisa- j
tion of the militia.
By Mr. Hazzard, to exempt the Cohnties of
Georgetown and Williarasborg from the pro
visions of the general stock law.
An important meeting was held this after*
noon at 5 o'clock in the State Library room.
Twenty-seven Senators and Representatives,
representing the counties of Colleton, Orange
burg, Williamsburg,Beaufort, Berkeley, Hor
ry and Georgetown met in conference for the
purpose of considering what action to take
and what measure to foster to obtain relief
for stock raisers from the hardships of the ex*
istiog Stock Taw. All the bills on the sub
ject introduced into the Legislature were be
fore the meeting and discussed at length.
Only two met the general favor of the con
ference, that of Senator Howell, of Colleton
and one introduced into the House
by Representative Montgomery, of Ma
rion, providing a sort of local option in the
matter by providing that citizens of any
county or township be permitted, if the ma- j
jority of landowners so decide, to levy a tax I
upon the stock of the township or county and !
build a fence therewith around the territory,
after which such territory will be exempted
from the operations of the general stock law.
Many members favored Howell's bill, but it
was thought imprudent to carry it and so it
was determined to make the fight on Mont
gomery's as next best.
The spirit of the conference was cheerful,
and confidence was expressed in the success of
their efforts.
Information reached the meeting that the
agricultural committee of the House would
report favorably on the Montgomery bill.
Tbis body of legislators will command a good
deal of sympathy in their effort, whatever
may be thought of its fate.
NINTH DAY,
Senats.?Quite a number of bills were in
troduced, among them : Bill to provide for
the better security of life aud property from
the damages of coal and petroleum oil ; Bill

Several members obtained leave of absence
till Monday.
Among the bills introduced ,vere: Bill to
amend 219T of Chapter 86 of the Revised
Statutes, relating to the pay of State's wit
nesses ; Bill to provide for exemptions from
the Stock Law ; Bill to amend Section 354 of

zation of the militia of the State.

Mr. Morris submitted an unfavorable report
od a bill providing for the speedy development
of the Columbia Canal. Placed on Calendar.
The Committee on Agriculture submitted
a favorable report on a bill requiring butch
ers to keep a record showing names of parties

with marks, 4c.
Mr. Murray, from the Committee on Rail
roads, submitted the majority report of that
committee on bill providing for the appoint
ment of three Railroad Commissioners for the
regulation of freight tariffs in the State.
The bill as recommended by the majority
report divides the State into three belts and
provides for the appointment of a Commis
sioner from each of them. Jt prevents the
grouping of interior towns with the same
rates of freight, and gives the Commissioners
power to regulate the rates of freight. Minority
reports were submitted by Messrs. Haskell
and McCrady, who oppose the vesting of such
powers in the Commission as unconstitutional.
The report, together with the Senate bill
received and read first time, were made the
special order for Tuesday, at the expiration of
the morning hour.
The joint resolution from the Senate ratify
ing the amendments to the Constitution,
relating to the time of holding elections, and
that relating to the disqualification of electors
each, received their second reading and were
ordered engrossed for a third reading.
Adjourned till 10 A. M., Saturday.
