STATE BOARD OF CONTROL CHANGES IN MANAGE MENT RECOMMENDED. Colombia, Jan 5 -At the regular monthly meeting of the State Board of Control yesterday it was, on mo tom of Mr. Williams, decided thats committee of two be appointed to formulate the recommendations oi tbe board to the general assembly The report is to deal principally with the purchase of the new dispensary boil ding, the handling of beer privi leges, and the disposition of the coun ty boards of control Un motion di Mr. Cooper, the committee is to con sist of Messrs Williams and Hasel den. The State board has long since been dissatisfied with the operations cf the county boards, and one of the members stated yesterday that the annual report won Id advocate the doing away with the county boards, which costs the State about $12,000 a year, and are really of not much service. It is stated that the State board will probably recommend that the senator and representatives from each county enastil te an advisory beard for the purpose of action apon questions which perplex the State board, and apon which information co aid in no other way be obtained. The ger eggs matter, which bas been before the board a number of times, was finally disposed of yester day. Mr. C. 0. Scragg s was run ning an original package boase in Sparnberg in connection wit a a bil liard parlor. While ia the ar.t of moving, his stock was seized and he was arrested for violation of the dis pensary law. The grand jary threw the eise oat, and Mr. Scruggs sued for indemnity for his confiscated goods. The amoant claimed was $1,050. On motion of Mr. Miles the _ board decided to refund tbe original cost of the liquor without the freight added. J. M. Beames was on December .30th appointed dispenser at Sumter, to succeed Mr J. B Raffle}d, who has served in that capacity for some time. Mr. Reames applied for the position of dispenser at Mayesville, and was elected to the Sumter dis pensary. Mr Raffield notified the State board of his intention to ap peal. The matter was cot beard in detail yesterday. The National Christiao League for the Promotion of Social Parity held a meeting ia New York cir,y last Saturday to iistea to a talk by Manley, the negro editor of the Wilmington newspaper, which was destroyed cri cg the recent revolution io that city. Manley, it will be rennen ber sd, slandered the white women of the Sooth ia the most infa m os tray Mrs Slizabetb B Gran o is was present at the mee ti a g of the League oo Saturday, ot? coarse, and thanked Manley for his talk She aid, after the "bosioere" meeting of the L 3 ig ne, that she bad beeo vicious ly attacked by the people, and the religious and secular press of the Sooth for ber recent observations upon tbe situation in this part of tho country, and that abe had "also received many ] letters purporting to be from negroes, offering the a se i ve* ia marriage to me, and offering other things of a revolting nature " The Times says : 'Mrs. Graoois said she did not feet called on to give her ancestry, bot she would say ia passing that she WAS a direct descen dant of Jobo Alden, and could enter the patriotic societies no New York throagb fifteen different Hoes." We venture to say that there is not one of Mrs Grannies Sfreen Hoes that is not ashamed of ber mixing with Manley, and we are not sure that the "coen" who got mr woaid be entirely happy.

HagbtOT Ligna Oo. THE LYNCHING LAW. A Nice Point Argued Before the Supreme Court. IQ the supreme coori this morning a case of considrable interest was argoed on appeal from Orangeburg county The case is important from the fact that it has reference to the ; constitutional provision that the heirs and administrators of a party lynched may sue the county in which the lynching occurred About a yaar and a half ago a negro named Brown was lynched in Orangeburg county, the charge against him being that he bad burned several barns of farmers in the coun ty. His body was strung up on the side of the South Carolina and Geor gia railroad track, exposed to the view of passengers and tbose who traveled by the dirt road. Bot that is neither here nor there His administrator, Isaac Brown, brought suit against the county for $2.000 damages. Judge Aldrich presided at the court and be decided that the constitutional provision ap plied only to prisoners who were taked from the custody of legal officers and then lynched, but did not apply to those persons lynched wno had not beeo in the custody of /officers. The attorneys for the administrator then appealed and the question was argued before the court this morning. Messrs. Raysor and Summers and Mr. J. B. McLaughlin represented the negro . ' Mr. H H. Brunsen, C. G. Daotzler and William C Wolfe represented the county.-Col Record, Jan 4 Sale of the Seaboard. The Premature Announce ment is Fully Confirmed. STRONG SYSTEM TO BE OR GANIZED. Baltimore, Jao. 4.-The report concerning the proposed parchase of the Seaboard and Roaaoke Railroad compaoy, parent corporation of the Seaboard Air Line system, is official ly confirmed. The syndicate which has bid for the properly, subject to the approval of the owners of three fourths of the stock pooled with Messrs. Louis McLate and Leigh R Watts, is composed of Baltimore, Richmond and New York capitalists. John Skelton Williams, president of the Georgia aod Alabama Railroad company, is the moving' spirit io the transaction and it is understood that he will be president of the c mpany when control is transferred to the syndicate. The price agreed opon is $200 a share, which is $75 a share more than was offered for a controlling interest io the property two years ago by Thomas F. Ryao. A member of the syndicate said to day that it is the intention of the oew owners to continue the company as ao iodepeodeot system, though he admitted that a line might ultimately be built from Atlanta, the Seaboard's southern terminus, to Montgomery, where connection would be made with the Georgia aod Alabaoa.

The Boston Post applies this rule to the Filipinos in a very suggestive way It say s : "About a century and a quarter ago, France beard the piteous ap peals of a people suffering under the unjust rule of Great Britain, and came to their aid After struggling for seven long years-rathor longer than the Filipinos have been fighting for Liberty under Aguinaldo-in poverty, starvation, distress, these insurgents won, with the help of France, freedom from British rule "What would these insurgents have done if France, at the end of the war of the revolution, bad under taken to annex these colonies, bad insisted upon providing 'a kindly government' for this oppressed peo ple, bad declared to the world that duty and humanity and a regard for Christian obligation required our destiny should be settled for ns by the power 3,000 miles away across the Atlantic, which bad helped us to win the fight ? And suppose France had sent troops and warships to take possession of the territory from which Great Britain had withdrawn ? "Poor, miserable insurgents as our forefathers were, worn out with seven years of war, they would have re volted against such interference and fought against it to the end." No intelligent person will contend that the Filipinos are anything like as fit for self government as were tbe patriots who established thia repub lic, but it cannot be denied that the Filipinos believe that they have fairly woo their independence and tbat they will regard us as oppressors and ! usurpers if we take it away from them. The Boston Post is right when ft say8 that the Filipinoa will regard us just as our forefathers would have regarded France if it had endeavored to prevent them from setting up a government of their own -Atlanta Journal. The Lowry Bale as a Cargo for Genoa A distinguished party of military and basioess men, accompanied by several ladies, arrived io Charleston Tuesday night. The party consists of Major Generals. M. B. Yoaog, Miss Youog, Mrs. Maggie Dagas, Mrs. C. H. Coben, Mrs. James F. McGowan, Lieut. Con rad, Mr. jas. F. McGowan, Mr. CE. Adams and Mr. S. H. Coben. The object of the visit is, on the part of the men at least, both bosioess and pleasure, and includes tbe shipment of a lot of "round bale" cotton, a review of tbe brigade at Summerville and attendance upon the military ball ac the Pine For est loo to night. Mr. James F. McGowan, Mr. C E. Adams and Mr. S. H. Coben, of the Georgia and Carolina Planters' oom paoy. have come to Charleston to see their first large shipment of 1,000 bales of cylindrical cotton pot on board the steamship Wiooie. now being loaded at Adger*8 wharf by the Johnston Blue' Cross Line, C. H. Betts, agent. The Planters' company packed this ott on at its plant in Augusta and the pactases are known as the Lowry bales." They are packed 250 in an ordinary freight car, and this gives a capaoity of 62.500 pounds per car. The cotton will be on Adger's wharf to-day and all the cotton men of the city will be asked to inspect it. The shipment will go to Genoa Great things are claimed for the Lowry bale, among others the packages of this bale say that there is less chance for stealing and picking, and that great saving is made io space on shipboard and train. It is likely that the cotton men of Char leston will take great interest in this matter.-The News and Courier. Governor Mouot, of Indiana, bas a plan for puttioog an end to lyocbiogs. He will ask the legislature to pass a bill "ai io win g tbe next of kio to the person lynebed to briog suit for damage against the county in which the lynch ing occurs.'1 Toe bill will also iooiude whitecappiog He should aiso include a pian to prevent raping of white women by negro brutes, and the frequent mur* ders of which they are guilty. His plao is a poor ooe and like all other schemes to protect villains will prove a failure so long as the crimes oontioue for which the villaios are lynched. Tbe Springfield (Mass.)

'No Wonder the Soutb is Poor," is the caption of a short article in an ex change hat we wish every roan in the South could read and realize the force of. The gist of the article is the neces sit j of the farmers and the planters of tho South raising their supplies It is stated by the Southern Farm Magazine, of Baltimore, and we believe tbe^state ment is correct, that ene hundred mil lion dollars are upeot annually for food stuffs by the Sontb that are produced inside of its own borders, and all of whioh could easily be grown at home Let us think for a moment wbat this means Suppose we raise ten million bales of cotton aod that is worth, ato cents per pound, 250,000,000 ; we see at once that two fifths of the whole amount is spent for focd, every dollar of which might and should be kept at home. But this is not all : most of the bailaoced goes out, too. We buy our clothes from the North ; why not raise sheep and have woolen factories at home ? We even buy nearly all our bleached cottons at the North, paying freight both ways and leaving a profit op there. Why not bleach own cotton goods ? Why not make our own thread ? Why not bnild our own wag ons, make our own farm implements, our shoes, our own hardware? Why not produce our own butter, supply our own fruits, our own potatoes ? No one can give an aoswer to these questions that is not sn imputation apon the good common sense of our people. They are simply ootton orazy, and until they recover we shall have no genuine, per manent prosperity.-Hampton Guar dian. Old Sewing Machines made new at Randie's. Hampton, Jan, 5 -On Tuesday evening Mr. Sam Solomons, of the Seminole section, was shot and killed by hts fifteen-year-old sop.

There is alwas more or less smallpox in Cuban cities and the situation at Marianao is io no respect exceptional. Extreme Weakness Chronic Diarrhoea for Years-Feet and Ankles Swelled and Blood Was Out of Order-Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. "I was troubled with chronic diarrhoea ior eight years and tried everything I was told was good for it, bnt no medicine did me any good. I kept np all the tims but was so weak I could not do anything. If I walked a few hundred yards I would be out of breath. My feet and ankles swelled very badly and I had about given up all hope of ever being well. I read about Hood's Sarsaparilla, and, knowing my blood was out of order, decided to give it a fair trial.
