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.

owned no more than the law allowed,
I thus preventing attachment. Then
under the decision ol tin* supreme
court, they wore arrested 'or petit
larcney and bound over in the sum of
$300 each. All but six gave bond,
which six went to jail. The new postal

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.
