; he mmi mmii M?oIi Debate in House Over Appro priation Biifc 1 ?PPB?PB?Ti?Ss mmm. Dispensary to be Investigate^ Pistols Cannot be Leased? No New Judicial Circuits. . Columbia, Feb. 10.?In the house I this .morning much time was consumed in the fight against the appropriations for the state colleges, but every effort to cut down the sums Earned in the appropriation bill failed. The debate - started when the-citadel appropriation I of $25,000 was reached and lasted for I some time, but the house refused to QUt the amount down to $22,000 as sug gested. Then the colored college at Orangeburg, came in for an attack, members wishing to cut the amount from $5,000 to $3,300, but the house again refused to consider the proposi tion. % Tho-^ appropriation bill then went along smoothly until the pension sec * tion was reached, which provides for an appropriation of $200, Q00 for pen sions for soldiers.' A substitute" was offered reducing the sum to $150,000, but after a debate, lasting about an hour, the house by a vote of 96 to 10 ? refused to consider the substitute. The bill requiring railroads to haul 250 pounds of baggage ffke instead %cf 150 as they now do passed to its third i readings and Representative 1 Anil's chief constable bill passed and was! sent to the senate.. The bill provides for only one chief constable. In the senate this morning the un pleasant remarks/made by Senators ? Stanlaad an<l Sharpe in regard to the dispensary ended by Senator Stanland stating that there was no personal motive in any of his remarks and Senator Sharpe apologized for the re marks he had made in the heat of de V.bate. The bill of, Senator Johnson, regu lating strikes and lockouts passed after much debate and after several amend ments. There were four reports on this bilL By a vote of 18 to 20 Senator Alr >drich's-bill appropriating $25,000 for am exhibit of industries and resources at Louisiana Purchase exposition to' be held in the city of St. Louis during the year 1903, passed its second read ing. There .was a favorable report on Senator Marshall's bill providing for the purchase of certain lands near the hospital for the insane. Senator Manning's bill providing for an increase in the salaries' of su preme and circuit court judges went over until the next session. The rest of the morning session was spent in the ratifying of acts by the sanate and house. At 8 o'clock the senate reassembled and completed the second reading ef uncontested second reading bills which was interrupted just before the noon adjournment byy the ratification of a dozen acts, all of 'which were . purely local, except the child labor enact ment. , Under the call of special order -Mr. Hooci's joint resolution to apgoint a committee to investigate the manage ment of .the State dispensary came up N for a third reading. After a lengthy debate, during which Senator Mayfield presented a letter from Dispensary Commissioner Cram defending the management, the resolu tion was recommitted to the committee with power to send for persons and papers, take testimony, employ a stenographer and to report to the senate within the session with the testimony included with the full result of their findings. < The senate killed the other bill to ' change the number ef members of the board of directors from three to seven, but passed the other dispensary bill which eliminates from the dispensary law the proviso "That n?thing herein contained shall prevent said directors of the dispensary from making with distillers in this.State contracts for the purchase of liquors manufactured by them within this State." ' At the night session in the- House the bills providing for two additional judicial circuits were continued until the next session by matual consent. Mr. Donnald's joint resolution to provide for the payment of certain i claims for artificial limbs was killed i as the appropriation bill made provis ion for these claims. Mr. Sinkler withdrew the third read ing bills proposing to amend-the phar maceutical laws. * Mr. Anil's bill relating to a reorgani zation of the State constabulary pass ed third reading. There were three pistol bills on the calendar, one by Rev. Welcome Quick, of Marlboro, to absolutely prohibit the carrying, sale or transportation into the State of pistols. Mr. Quick made an earnest appeal for his bill. / The law- is ineffectual. * The way to culti vate public sentiment is by making drastic laws and enforcing them. The ? house thought Mr. Qnick's bill un constitutional and killed it. Mr. Bomar's bill as amended by the committee was then taken up and passed. It provides an amendment to the Cooper law providing that pistois cannot be leased. Mr. Bcmar explain ed that the lc.w prohibits the sale of pistols less than 22 inches in length, etc. Yet the hippocket variety is dis posed of by some storekeepers nnder a nominal lease which is but a subter fuge. The bill denies the merchants the right to "sell, offer for sale. lea;e rent. barter or exchange" pistols which are of less weight and length than described in the Cooper law. Columbia, Feb. 12.?The House to day* gave a third reading to the ap propriation bill. The supply bill to make levies for the several counties passed a second reading and also the legislative supply bill. The Charleston delegation will amend tor\>rrow. The Charleston delegation last night decided to recommend an appropria tion of 83,500 for the stone road to the * naval station, and $10,800 for the drainage commission work, this being $2,800 brought over from lastyear, and $3,000 new appropriation. Mr. Sinkler's bill to regulate the shy locks who are imposing on the poDrJpeople in the cities was killed. t The usury law gives ample protection. I The House passed Mr. Morgan's bill {to require the burden of proof to ! fall on the party accused of violating the game law. The House of Representatives has passed a bill to give 820,000 for the erection of an equestrian states .to Gen. Wade Hampton. The statue^nll be erected on the Stare Capitol grounds. The Senate will probably pass the bill without any opposition. The appropriation is conditioned upon the raising of $10,000 additional upon voluntray subscriptions and this can be done easily. A committee of five ! citizens to be appointed by the Gov I erncr will have charge of the work. The session of the Senate last night was taken up in a prolonged debate i over the proposed investigation of the management of fhe State dispensary. ' It was agreed to refer the joint reso lution back to the Senate committee on the dispensary consisting of Sena tors Stanland, Aldrich, Sbarpe, Dean, Herndon, Stackhouse and Eardi?j, . with power granted them-ixu?cnd for j persons and papers, employ a stenog rapher, take testimony and to return the testimony taken with their report to the Senate within the session. The bill proposing to change the number of the beard of control from three to seven was summarily killed, but the provision was stricken out of ?the dispensary ' w, giving the board of control discretionary powers in the purchase of liquors from distilleries located within the State. Tho session today was devoted to routine work. The eight pharmacutical bills which have been on the calendar for two weeks were all killed. This included even those bills on the same subject, which had passed the House. The only other matters of general interest were the passing of the St. Louis exposition bill, which provides for an appropritaion. of $27,400. The bill to bring'all telephone'lines in the State within the, jurisdiction of the railroad commissioners was postponed until next session. flEIMABlE TURN - s IN THE K? OASE. Man Wanted in Rorense for Mur der of Sam Bogers. WAS G?PT?BE0 Bf DENMARK. He had Formed Partnership With Senator S. 6. Mayfield to Plant Tobacco. Denmark, Feb. 12.?Wm. C. King, wanted in Florence county for the killing of Sam Rogers and the wound ing of James Rogers, was caught here today. The -firm of Mayfield & King, com posed of. Senator S. G. Mayfield and Wm. C. King, tobacco planters, has bfti dessolved by the arrest of the latter. Our intendant and chief of police be ing wide awake, saw in the Mr. King, expert on tobacco planting, the man wanted in Florence county for murder and notified the shreiff that he was here. Mr. Thos. Burch arrived here this morning at an early hour from Florence and from discriptions given him said at once it was fhe man want ed. Expecting that King would give trouble to those trying to take him, and knowing that he would be armed and knew the Florence sheriff at sight, it was decided for Mr. Burch to re main out of sight and let our plucky deputy, Capt. Hunter, arrest the j man. Deputy Hunter was assisted by C. J. Baxter, and expecting trouble they had to do their work quickly. King was armed as expected, having a pistol in the inside#pocket of his vest. Before going to arrest King his room was visited and in it was four.d a Winchester rifle, which he brought with him here, and this was taken pos session, of by-the sheriff. Mr. King teils your correspondent that he went direct to Sumter after the killing, from Sumter to Columbia, and thence to Denmark, w'.ere he has been ever since; also that he intended going back to Florence in time for court. It seems strange that he should use his correct name here, 1 ut it is trun? that uo one thought to ask him his first or given name. Says he thinks Senator Mayfield should put in a good word for him. * j Mr. King, I learn, called on Senator I Mayfield Tuesday morning i.fter his { arrival here and represented himself as an expert on tobacco raising and made a bargian with the senator to plant 10 or 12 acres on shares, he to do all the work and Mayfield to furnish the land and fertilizers. Mr. King was progressing nicely with his new farm when the law stepped in today. -??~rm^- ...... ^rmiirr? ?

DISPENSARY LAW IN ?H?BLESTQ? Charleston's Tigers Don't Expect Constables to Enforce Laww Even After Governor's dr tiers. Special to The State. Charleston, ieb. 11.?The blind tigers are a little worried and con cerned as a resul't of the positive cr .ders of Gov. Heyward for a better en forcement of the law in Charleston, bat they are still bravely doing busi ness as usual and not allowing their fears to hurt their trade. They are patiently waiting to see what the con stabulary proposes to do, and they are not exciting thenfsetves unnecessarily. They have had such a comparatively easy time heretofore, notwithstanding the eiiorts of the police department, that they seem to think they can also take care of themselves with the con stables on their trail. It is up to Chief Howie to show what he can accomplish and it is needless to say that he has a tough, proposition to handle. The po lice department will give such assist ance as may be needed or desiaiwi by the constables in carrying oat Gov. Keyward's instruction. Mayor Smyth wrote Gov. Heyward today, assuring him to this effect and there is no rea son why the general and flagrant viola tion of the'law should not be consid erably restrained with determined joint work on the part of the constables and police department. Publie sentiment has greatly changed in Charleston in the past few years towards the blind tigers and the better class of citizen ship are solidly with Gov. Heyward in his efforts to force respect for' a com pliance with the dispensary lav.". Two blind tigers were convicted to d^y in the. city court and fined $o0 each. At tfne trial a few days ago. they insisted on a. .jury trial," and this, was to have been given to them today,-' bur they changed their minds and withdrew their demand, .throwing their cases before the. recorder to be pissed upon, A Weak Stomach - Causes a weak body and invfies disease. Kcdoi Dyspepsia Care cures and strength ens the stomach, and wards off and over comes disease. J B Taylor, a prominent merchant of Chriesman, Tex., says : "I could not ear because of a weak stomach. I lost all strength and run down ir weight. Ail that money could do was done, but all hope of recovery vanished. Hearing of some wonderful cures effected by use of Kodol, I concluded to try it. The first bottle^ benefitted me, and after taking four bottles I am fully restored to my usual strength, weight and health."' J S Hugh son & Co. Washington, Feb. I].?In an execu tive .session which lasted only an hour and a half today the senate ratified the Alaskan boundary treaty, and came near taking similar action on the com mercial treaty with Greece which was reported by Senator Cullom today from the committee on foreign relations.
