the keeper of the State bar room to be
located in Sumter. Mayesville, will,

What a canvassing by the faithful tbere

The beet thing about the Evans liquor
bill, from a Tillaiaoite point of view,
is the immense amount of official patron
ageUfcere is connected with it.
Retrenchment and Reform! The
State levy is 5| mills, one mill higher
than last year.
No one expects to see taxes less next
year. Prepare yourself for a levy of 6
or6| milla.
Yon can pet all the liquor you want
ander the Kraus prohibition law, so
called, but job must take no quantity
less than a half pint and mast mix
your owe drinks. Let us be thankful
for what we are about to receive.
France is stirred to the center over
the re velar ioe ef the gigantic frauds
connected with the Panama Canal
Company. Numbers of prominent men
are implicated in the scandals, and
nearly all the newspapers. By some it
is thought that the Republic itself may
%2 in danger.
The Legislature has adjourned a ne
the wise and virnTent reformers bavd
lime to think over what they did We
are chit Sy tbankfal for what they didn't
do, for after passing ?ach laws as the
Wilson Railroad law and the Evans
State Bar Room law, there is no know
ing from what dire evils the adjourn
ment saved the State.
BETTER O ADS.
Mr. A. A. Pope, of Boston, Mass ,
3? agitating the question of better
public reads. an?, as a means of
aromdog public interest and ultimately
attaining the desired object, is circula
ing the following petition to Congress :
To tie Honorable Senate and House of Repre
?cntatioet in Congrtsz assembled :
We, tie un?ersigned, citizens of the United
ft Utes, hereby roust respectfully petition that
there "be founded in the city of Washington, io
?he District of Columbi*, a Road Department
similar to the Agricultural Department, for
the purpose of promoting knowledge in the j
art of constructing and maintaining roads ;
and we ark that in such department provision
be made for teaching students so that tbey
may become skilled road engineers.
In eoaneetion with this Road Department
we rr?nest that there he established a perma
nent ?xbibit in which sball be shown sections
of roads il Kastrat ing various methods of
construction and also the best road materials
and machinery.
We further petition that Congress appro
priate funds sufficient to erect a building at
the World's Columbian Exposition for the
purpose ot a comprehensive road exhibit.
This paper heartily endorses the ef
forts of Mr. Pope and his co-adju tors,
or any person or persone who may un
dertake to bring about a correction of
that noi versa! evil?bad roads: It strikes
as that he has undertaken the agitation
in tie right way, and the idea, if car
-r?cd ont to its conclusion, will accom
plish what^y i 11 be followed by better
roads : the educatioo; fi at of men who
know what a good road is and how to
faild one ; second, the whole people to
4now the actual benefits to be derived
from good roads.
At present there are comparatively
few who know what a first class road is,
?od still fewer who know how to make
?ne. With a demand for better roads,
created by an enlightened publie sent?
tuent, will come a demand for road
builders and vice versa, for it is known
io be too true for dispute that when a
person waots a thing and can't make it
himself, he will soon find some one to
snake it for him. that when a person
has a trade bis effort is to creste a de
mand for the prod net of bis hktll
Hence Mr. Pope*? idea is one ti at will
work in both directions.
Finally, it is entirely within the
province of the government to do what
is asked. A school to educate road
builders will assaredJy be of more bene
fit to the country at large than either
?West Point oar Annapolis?the one
educating *oid*ers, the other sailors.
A petition is or file at this cfSoe,
where anyone who de>?res may attach
ig nature.

Synopsis of the Liqour Law.
The bill to regulate the manufacture
and s;ile of liquors within the State,
known as the Evans bill, passed by the
Legislature at the late session provides
for a State board of control, consisting
of the Governor, Comptroller General
and Attorney Generai; a State com
missioner, who shall be appointed by
the Governor and act under the direc
tion of the said State board of control;
a county board of control, consisting
of three persons, to be appointed by
the State board of control and to serve
for two years, and a county dispenser,
to be appointed by and work under
the direction of the county board of
control.
The State commissioner, who shall
receive a salary of $1,800, shall pur
chase, giving preference to State
breweries and manufactories, liquors
which have been tested and found pure
and unadulterated by the chemist of
the South Carolina University. These
liquors he shall sell to the county dis
pensers upon demand at a profit of not
more than 50 per cent, or may sell to
parties outside the State.
The commissioner shall, before
shipping such liquors to the county
dispenser, seal the same in packages
containing from a half pint to five
galions, and this package shall not be
opened by the county dispenser under
any circumstances, but sold by the
package, and not opened by the pur
chaser on the premises, except in cases
of malt liquors shipped in cases or
barrels.
After July 1,1S93, no person, firm or
association shall manufacture or sell
any liquors except the same be sold to
the State dispenser or shipped out of
the State: Provided,however, that any
person may make wine from grapes or
other fruit for his own consumption.
A county dispensary may be estab
lished at any county seat upon the
petition of a majority of the freehold
voters of such municipality.
In Charleston there shall be ten
dispensaries and three in Richland and
one each in the other counties, the
county board of control having the
right to establish other dispensaries in
their respective counties. These dis
pensers shall give bond jn the sum of
tftree thousand dollars, and shall be
paid an amount determined by the
?State board of control.
The county dispenser shall sell to
any applicant whom he personally
knows is not a minor, is not intoxi
cated and is not in the habit of drink
ing to excess. If the applicant is not
known to the county dispenser the
endorsement of a reliable person must
be secured. The county dispenser
shall charge a profit of not more than
50 per cent, one-half of which is to ?0
to the county and the other half to the
municipality.
The Act prohibits the keeping of any
dub room or place in whirh intoxica
ting liquors are received or kept for
the purpose of barter or saleas a bever
age or for distribution among the
eaembers of the club, and the lindi g
of liquors in such places shall be evi
dence sufficient to warrant a seizure,
confiscation of such liquors and arti- J
oies used in connection with the use of
the same.
The Governor may appoint in each:1
county one or more constables to see j
that tfie provisions of the law are ?
observed. The State shall appropriate j
$50,000 for the purpose of enabling the
State commissioner to buy liquors.
Railroad companies which transport j
liquors not bearing the spai of the j
State commissioner shall be subject to
a fine of $500.
Severe penalties are provided for
violations of the provisions of the Act,
the punishment in some instances
being without maximum limit, the
Act to take effect July 1, 1893, and
shall not apaly to counties or towns
which now nave prohibitory laws.

It will be unpleasant news to the

that he was accidentally shot a short
time ago, but it will give pleasure t*
know that he is not seriously hurt. A
Portsmouth, Ya., paper says:
"Last Monday while out gunning
, the Rev. Dr. Coke Smith came near be
ing seriously, if not fatally shot. It
seems that the accident occured as fol
lows: Dr. Smith's son, a friend and the
doctor were out hunting partridges,
The doctor was on one side of a ditch
and the other parties were on the op
poste side, (he ditch being partly fill
ed with undergrowth. A covey of
birds Hew up fron? the bushes and
the Doctor's son finn! without
properly observing the position of
hjs father, and the doctor received six
or seven shot in his face: two below
each eye and one going through his
jaw and striking the tongue; one tu
the neck and one in the wrist. Lucki
ly the doctor is not seriously hurt."
