Tbe morning boor of the Senate
was devoted to the discussion of

tor Gruber, providing for a six
months' tsrm, which involved a
redistribution of tbe dispensary
eebool fond, end the other was
Senator Brown's compulsory educa?
tion measure Both were rejeoted
by tbe Seoate.
The Seoate at the night seaaion
resumed the discussion of tbe
Graydoo bill When tbe debete
ended ' yeeterday Section 1 bad
been diepoeed of, which per
tains to tbe commissioner and his
salary ; Section 2 wae considered in
eo (sr ss knocking out tbe proposed
board of control is concerned. To?
night Mr Mayfield moved to etrike
out all of the enacting worde of the
bill aud aubstitute tbe bill offered by
him yesterday. /
Senetor Sbeppard moved to strike
out Section 2 of tbe amendment
which cooatitotee the board of con?
trol of the governor, chairman of the*
committee ways and meane and chair
man of committee on finance of tbe
Senate
No resolt followed from tbia pre?
liminary ekirmieb and Senator Man?
ning addressed tbe eenate He said
be bad oppoeed the dispeoeary at
first, because he thought it unconsti?
tutional and tbat it would build up a
huge political machine in the State,
which would be a fruitful source of
fraud aod corruption. Bot it is now
tbe lew end should be obeyed His
obeervation hss been, nevertheless,
tbat tbe law baa beeo beneficial The
habit of drinking has decreased
among yoong moti Candor and
honesty require that he should state
tbie in thie pnb'io way He would
lend eveiy effort to do away with
(.r*j*ciionebie features and improve
the law He said he had been in
formed that thie eubatilute ia the
outcome of s caucua or a conference
tbat has been held in the office, of the
chief executive of the State, a con
ferencc over which the governor
presided He felt that thia was a
matter tbe people should l>e informed
of. He asked the senator from Bam
berg whether this was the origin of
tbe bill
Senator Mayfield, in reply, said he
had for daye been getting up a bill
He had consulted with seuators. He
bad writteo out hie views, and there
wae a meeting of three or four sena?
tors, und some others, to consider
plane for the renovation of tbe dis?
pensary. In connection with three
senators bis substitute wss agreed
npoo He did not believe such
action ought to injure the chances of
tbe bill He moved to ley on the
table the amendmente of Senators
Sbeppard and Uenderaon, but with?
drew tbe motion.
A lengthy general discussion fol
lowed, but no progress wae made
Senator Graydon moved to strike
out Seoator MayfiHd'a substitute.
The vote wss ss follows : Yess, 17;
nays, 21
So the Senate refused to table the
substitute.
Tho queetion then came up on
Senator Sheppard's amendment to
striko out section 2 He made brief
remarks, saying that a voto for his
amendment simpiy relieved the Go?*
ernor and other officers I rout tho j
duties of the board of control
The vote waa 30 to I I? favor of
koocking out tho section
Theio was fuither discussion but
tbe matter was finally carried over to
tomorrow night's session

Tbe medical students won and so
did tbe cigarettes They both had
bard fights, but woo io tho end The
medical students did not know how
etrong they were until the vote had
been announced, and then seventy
four members voted that the students
of tho Medical College of South
Carolina, at Charleston, be admitted
to practice in this State, upon the
diplomas of that College, without
further examination, trusting to the
standard and integrity of the faculty
of that College.
After a protracted discussion the
eoope of the bill was broardeoed so
that any college with a four year
course of acceptable standard, might
receive a similsr exemption for its
graduates provided the State board
of medical examiners thought it pro?
per to class the college aa in the
exempted list. It wss a spirited
fight and developed considerable
spice
The oigsrettes osme dangerously
near being excommunicated, so far as
the House is concerned, About ail
that eaved tbe bill from passing io
tbe house was tbe demonstration of
tbe injury such a bill would be to a

Tbe tide of new bills baa not yet
beeu checked.
SENATE.
Tbe only bill discussed in the sen?
ate thie morning wae tbe Marshall -
King's Daughters' bill against child
labor io factories. The debate con?
sumed all day, but waa (interesting
and bad it? sentimental as well as
practical side Tbe senate took the
practioal view of tbe question and
the bill waa rejected by a vote of 29
to 8
Daring the moroing hour Senator
Heoder8on introduced the following
resolution, which was adopted :
Whereas, it is desirable tbat the
session of tbe general assembly shall
close at aa early a day as possible,
aod divers opinions hsve been ex?
pressed ss to its constitutiooal limit,
be it resolved by the senate, the
boose of representativea concorring,
Tbat it is hereby referred to the
committee oo the judiciary io both
houaes to hold p. joint session of said
bodiee at an early day and report
either jointly or separately, thefr
opinion as to the constitutional limit
of this session, and as to tbe limit of
tbe pay of the members under tbe
constitution.
Senator Graydon introduced a res
olutioo requesting the board of phos
phate commissioners to report at
once to tbe general assembly why
they have not collected all the roy?
alty due the State upon phosphate
rock mioed during the past fiscal
year. Tbe resolution alleges as a
reason for this that the prioe of phos
phate rock has been quoted for the
past six months at from $4 to $5 per
ton, and the report of the inspector
ehows that the total number of tons
moved was 121,078, upon which
only $34,928 was collected
Senator Graydou said that his in?
formation came from the Manufac
torero' Record which also stated that
the State'e royalty would be about
$80,000 He wanted immediate
consideration, but Senator Gruber
pointed out that this is too important
a meuatre to be acted oo hastily,
whereupon the resolutions were re?
ferred to the finance committee.

Story of a Slave.
To be bound band and foot for je ? rs by the
chains of disease is the worst form of shivery
Qflorgo D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich ,
tells bow fruch a slave was made free. He
says: "My wife has been so helpless for five
years that shs could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do her
own work." This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly oeres netvousness, sleepless*
ness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting
and diixy spells. This miracle working medi?
cine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c.

testify tu tbe merits of tbe Columbia Business
College. I do cot hesitate to say that l;bave
received substantial end beneficial results. I
cheerfully recommend it to any person desir?
ous of ^securing a business education. Dur?
ing my course ot study at tbe college there
was uniform kind and courteous treatment

tbe students by tbe instructor? to insure ac?
curacy and thoroughness in their atodiea,
