OUTLOOK NOT GOOD. m Senate Passas Bill for Federal Build? ing in Anderson. Washington, January 25.-Senator Latimer's bill for a Federal building at Anderson, to cost $75,000, passed the Senate today. This is the only South Carolina 'Federal building: pro? vision which the senate committee re? ported. Several others have been in? troduced in the House, At present there seems little chance for this or any of the others to pass the House. No insurgents in South Carolina have been promised Federal buildings in payment' for sticking; to the machine. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than ai* other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro? nounced it a local disease and pre? scribed local remedies, and by con? stantly failing to cure with local treat? ment, pronuonced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu? tional disease and therefore re? quires treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,'Ohio, is the only constitutipn al cure on the market. It is taken-in? ternally in doses from 10 drops , to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the - blood and mucous surfaces of the sys? tem. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. ? F. J.

Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court and Several Circuit Judges Elected for a Second Term-State Librarian and College Trasteos Elected. Columbia, January 23.-Today was set aside by special order and' rance cbc- tim? Tor the election of o!:"cers. The Senate convened promptly at ll o'clock, and immediately adjourned to meet the House in joint session. The House had been in session for an hour, but had disposed of only uncontested bills. In the absence of Lieutenant Gover? nor Sloan, who is too unwell to leave his home, Senator Richard L Man? ning, president pro-tern of the Sen? ate, presided over the joint meeting. The work of balloting was necessa? rily very tedious and tiresome, as there was opposition in only three cases, yet the roll of both houses had to be call? ed in each instance. Chief Justice Pope was re-elected without opposition, and received a to? tal of 146 voes, Xo one opposed Judge C. G. Dantzler, who was unani? mously elected. The judgship of the Second circuit was contested. Judge Aldrich, the incumbent, was opposed by Senator Warren. The election re? sulted in the following vote: Aidrich, 118; Warren, 32. Judge R. O. Purdy, judge of the Third circuit; Judge Gage and Judge Watts were all elected with? out any opposition. In the race for judge of the Eighth circuit, Judge Klugh received 100 votes and Senator McGowan 4L Miss Laborde was elect- j ed State librarian over Miss Black by a vote of 136 td 14. Messrs. Puerfoy and Wingo were elected to succeed themselves as directors of the peni? tentiary. The following college trustees were elected: For Winthrop College-Dr. E.. S. Jones, A. M. Lee and J. W. Roddey. For South Carolina College-Messrs. W. T. C. Bates, J. Q. Davis and August Kohn. At the night session of the joint as? sembly the election of three trustees of Clemson College came up. There were three, vacancies. Messrs. W. D. Evans, L. A. Sease and Augustine T. Smythe, the three members whose terms expired, were all placed in nom? ination, as had been the case with the other boards. The name of Capt. Ivy M. Mauldin, a graduate of Clemson, was put up for a place on the board. This meant that one of the old mem? bers of the board had to be dropped if Capt. Mauldin should be elected. There was a spirited contest and keen inter? est in the result. The vote stood: L. A. Sease 110, W. P. Evans 106, L M. Mauldin 99, Augustine T. Smythe 60; total vote cast 124. Necessary to elect 63. Messrs. Sease, Evans and Mauldin were declared the new trustees of Clemson. There was no opposition to the re-election of Capt. E. M. Blythe of Greenville, and Major J. J. Lucas on the Citadel board. They are both in? cumbent members of the board. The last election was that of trustees of the State Colored College. Dr. Wm. R. Lowman and Capt. D. J: Bradham were re-elected. They are on the present board and there was no objecr tion to their re-election. After these elections the House adjourned till 10 o'clock in the morning. .For any disease of the skin there s nothing better than Chamberlain's Salve.

Council held a regular meeting at 8 o'clock Wednesday night. Present: Mayor Geo. W. Dick, Al? dermen H. D. Barnett, P. P. Finn, R. i P. Haynsworth,- H. W.Hood, C. G. Rowland and W. G. Stubbs. Absent: Aldermen E. W. Hurst and R. K. Wilder. Mr. Isaac Schwartz came to request that a tera cotta drain be laid on his property at Hampton and Salem av? enues, where now is an open drain used by the city, as he desires to erect cottages thereon. The matter was re? ferred to the committee of public works with power to act. Mr. E. C. Haynsworth, representing the Bartlette Street Baptist church, presented a petition for a light at the corner of Sumter and Bartlette streets and urged that council grant this re? quest from the only church in the city now without a ligmt. In connection with this request Alderman Hayns? worth stated that the petition for a light at Washington and Bartlette streets, which was referred to his committee with power to act, had created some misunderstanding, and said he had been unable to get the whole committee together; he asked that council determine the location of the light or lights, as the case may be. After due discussion the council real? izing the urgent need of a lamp on each of these corners ordered that both petitions be granted. Minutes of January 10th were read and confirmed. A petition for a fire hydrant at the corner of Salem avenue and Hayns? worth street was referred to commis? sioners of public works. The clerk presented a deed from Mrs. M. H. Yeadon and John Hayns? worth conveying land for straighten? ing and extending Haynsworth street and Purdy street, and the committee of public works was requested to have the lines run on these streets as soon as practicable. Mr. Rowland for the finance com? mittee reported that the clerk and treasurer's reports for November ana December had been examined and found correct; that they had approved all claims except one in favor of Dr. Cheyne for damages to his automo? bile, on which further time was re? quested, and bills for repairs for po? lice bicycles on which the committee asked council to decide. The report was adopted and the bicycle repair bills were ordered paid. Mr. Rowland reported further that at a joint meeting of the commission? ers of public works and the finance committee the salary of Officer W. W. McKagen as general collector, had '1 been fixed at $75.00 per month of which the commissioners would pay $35.00 and the city $40.00. Mr. Barnett for the police commit? tee reported that they had purchased rubber* boots and coats for the police? men as directed by council. Mr. Hood for the fire department committee reported that they had placed an order with Schwartz Bros. for rubber coats and boots for the firemen. He suggested that the chiefs of the fire department should be re quird to file an inventory of goods and equipments on hand at the end of each quarter. The report and sugges? tion were adopted. Mr. Haynsworth reported that he had found it necessary to purchase one dozen pair rubber boots for la? borers working in ditches, which was approved. On request of Mayor Dick it was ordered that two bridges be built on Wright street and Salem avenue over an open drain near the cotton mill, and a cement sidewalk was ordered bult in front of the opera house. The mayor gave a report of the meeting of the South Carolina Indus? trial Association in Columbia on the the 23d instant, which was attended by Alderman Barnett, Finn and him? self, besides other citizens. He thought this a matter of great importance to the State at large and should have the endorsement and support of every city and town. On motion of Mr. Haynsworth the clerk was directed to write Hon. W. P.. Morgan, president of the association, that the sentiment of council is in favor of the association, and they will do all that is possible to support its efforts. Council discussed the advisability of removing the numerous and unsight? ly signs which disfigure and detract from the appearance of Main and Lib? erty streets, but no action was taken. The following claims were referred to the finance committee: Chas. D. Reese. $9.25; E. H. Lynam, $11.00. ? Council then, adjourned.
