POETRY. Old Sumter is on rising ground, She moves with rapid pace; Her energy is still profound. She's bound to win the race. Courage and pluck always succeed. They never brook control; In enterprise- they take the lead, They reach the promised goal. Buildings, as if by magic wand, Are daily springing up; This end in view they move along, They'll win the golden cup. They lay aside each dind'ring weight, And rear the concrete dome; Then lay them fast and lay them straight, Provide for all a home. Outsiders will your valor laud, When all your works they see; . And sing your praise to all abroad Sons of the brave and free. Now, Sumter, hope and persevere, Give heed to all yourlways; Fail not Jehovah to revere And sound abroad His praise. -W. M. Foster. Allan Mack, who killed his wife in Charleston several days ago, has been exonerated from all blame, the kill? ing being accidental. Robert Groves, colored, has been sentenced to th? penitentiary for life for killing a negro in Anderson county. How's This?

KNOCK OUT FOR GENERAL A6ENTS Salaries to Be Limited to $50,000, New Business to Be Kept Within Bounds and Renewal Commissions to Agents to Be Cut Out Altogether-Radical Recommendations. New York, February 16.-It is learned that the report of the Arm? strong Insurance Investigating Com? mittee, which will be presented to the Legislature next week, is ready for adoption by the committee today. If adopted the report will mean start? ling revolutions in the law governing life insurance in this State. It limits salaries to $50,000 a year, makes the maximum amount of new business $150,000,000 each year, cuts ! off all renewal commissions to agents and practically puts them out of bus? iness. COURT W EEK IX MANNING. Three Negroes Tried for Stealing Cot? ton From a Barn, Only One Con? victed-Trial of Lee for Abduction. Manning, February 13.-The first case taken up in the Court of Sessions bere today was that of the State vs. Johnnie Green, Feb Green and Dave Williams, charged with breaking into the cotton house of Mr. J. J. Brough? ton, on the 25th of last November, and stealing therefrom some 300 pounds of seed cotton. The two Greens were represented by Messrs. Woods & O'Brye.n and were acquitted; Williains was found guilty. The only other case concluded to? day was that of the State ?gainst E L. Lee, alias E. Lee Ward. Lee, or Ward, is a white man who came to this county from Florida last Decem ber, for the purpose, ostensibly at least, of marrying a Miss Wise, of this county, whom he had been cor? responding with for some months through a medium of some matrimo? nial advertisement. He was enter? tained at the home of the young lady's father, and the family was perfectly willing for the match to take place. On a visit to Manning, however, Lee sought to induce the young lady to marry him at once and go on to Flor? ida that night. This she declined to do, on the ground that they had prom-^ ised their father to return home that night, and his consent had not been asked to their marriage that day. Thereupon Lee proposed marriage to the 13-year-old sister of Miss Wise who had accompanied them to Manning but could get no one to perform the mar? riage ceremony. He had persuaded her to accompany him to the depot, promising to marry her aboard the train, and the two were sitting in the depot waiting for the train, then over? due, when the matter came to the at? tention of some of the citizens of Man? ning, who at once had Lee arrested and .took charge of the little girl until her father could arrive. Lee gave a cash bond and was released. He did not appear for trial this morning, forfeiting his bond and being tried in his absence. The jury found a verdict of guilty. Lee is said to be a man of good appearance, apparently well supplied with money. He claim? ed to be editor of the Mariana News. *One Minute Cough Cure contains not an atom of any harmful drug, and it has been curing coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough so long that it has proven itself to be a tried and true friend to the many who use it No need to fear of your child choking from croup with One Minute Cough Cure handy.

' HOUSE' STANDS FIRM FOB NO REFORM?H?H Tte Vote Last Night on Raysor-Mannlng Bill indicates That Representatives Pre? fer Present Management to Honest Regulation. HOUSE PUTS ITSELF IN A HOLE There is Ground for Belief That the Morgan High License, Local Option, Free Liquor Monstrosity Was Merely a Stalking Horse to Save tho Dis? pensary Management. Columbia, February 16.-The House last night returned to the Senate with its compliments the Raysor-Manning Tillman bill. This was done by a vote of 61 to 41 and is indicative of the po? sition of the House. Mr. Otts took the position that the Senate had sent the bill over without compliance with riile 31, which provides that body and title of a bill should conform. He held that the body of the bill amended certain sections of the dispensary law, where? as the title did not so indicate. Speak? er Smith held that the house should determine whether the bill should be rejected and sent to the senate for amendment to the title. This did not mean that the house rejected the bill as that question has not been voted upon but when the bill is returned with an amended title another issue may be raised whether such a radical? ly new bill shall have to be read three times ia the House. The greater part of the morning session was devoted to the considera? tion of a fertilider bill which has been pending for some time and which has the approval of the Clemson authori? ties. The joint committee on public print? ing submitted, a report yesterday en? tirely exonerating the public printer from any and all charges and express? ing entirfc satisfaction with the work done and the cost thereof. The Senate concurred in the Hous? amendment to thc bili changing the name of the South Carolina College to university and the bill was ordered to ratification. An amendment to the dispensary law introduced by Senator Holliday and approved by Senator Christensen was adopted whereby dispensaries cannot be established in unicorporated towns in Horry and Beaufort, they having been legal in these two counties here? tofore. Senator Blak?^alled- up his bill with reference to special courts. It pro? vides that before a special term shall be ordered it must first be petitioned for by a majority of the bar associa? tion of the county and receive the en? dorsement of presiding judge. In ad? dition to this, the clerk must send to the governor the number of cases on the docket. After all this the gover? nor is to decide whether the court shall be ordered. x Senator Biake spoke in favor ot the bill and Senators Hudson and Hay against it, the whole discussion con? suming much time along with the roll calls, which resulted in the rejection of the bill by a vote of 22 to 12. Senator Blease of Newberry moved to indefinitely postpone the bili to prohibit beer and hotel privileges, but it passed its third reading by a 16 to ll and goes to the House, where it has not yet been read the first time. Senator Carlisle called up the buck? et shop Tbill and ? roll call.was order? ed on the motion to postpone debate to tomorrow. The result was that de? bate was postponed by a vote of 20 to 16, which very likely means the end of the bill. ._ Columbia, February 16.-The Sen? ate took up the Rucker bill today, struck out all after the enacting words and substituted the Senate bill with the execptipn that it contains a pro? vision for abolishing the State board of control. This bill cannot get to the house until tomorrow. The resolution of the dispensary in? vestigating committee to abrogate the contract with the Carolina Glass com? pany was introduced in the senate, but on objection being made, considera? tion went over. The bill appropriating $2.000 to thc Confederate Home, in Charleston, hus passed the third leading in both houses. The senate today sent a mesage to the house about the latter's refusal to receive the senate dispensary bill to effect that Rules 31 and 32 apply solely to matters arising in the House, and that under Rule 4S they have no choice but to receive it. The attitude of the two houses present the curious situation of a bill suspended between the two houses, neither being willing to take it. The House has not yet act? ed on this last message of the Senate. The House. In the House today the dispensai> people tried to gain another legislative delay by having Mule 50, which pro? vides: "Xo bill shall be read a third time . on tho day fixed for adjourn? ment," suspended, but this the House refused to do. Following this the House, at the instance of Messrs. Her? bert and Kershaw, continued all sec? ond reading bills, thus killing 29 bills with one swipe, and wiping out the ej..endar entirely. The House there jie will spend tomorrow on Senat :esolutions or amendments, confer? ences, etc. When the Senate's message about the dispensary bill was read in the House Mr. Otts moved that a message be sent back that under the constitu? tion of the State the House is the sole judge of its rule and sees ho reason for receding from its action of last night This provoked a lengthy and acrimo? nious debate, the subject being full of hidden politics. { The House on adjourning decided not to go into the dispensary election this afternoon and there is talk of its refusing altogether, but this is not ? likely. Senator David B. Hill did not ad ! dress the General Assembly this af? ternoon as he had been invited to od. However, he personally published his declination. He feels that the condi j tion of his throat would not allow him ( to ^deliver a speech. McCaw. CHICAGO BANKS SHAKY. Chicago, February 16.-Following the action late last night by Judge Chitraus granting an order placing in the hands of a receiver the Bank of America, comes reports that two other Chicago banks, both State institution?, i are under scrutiny, and that action is to be taken today in regard to them. i _ .. It is not announced whether or not the two banks under suspicion are in any way involved in the trouble of the Bank of America. The Bank of America action was taken late last night in the complaint of John Kavanah, a stockholder. He charges several officers of the bank with misappropriating funds. He says they obtained amounts aggregating $140,000. Secretary Shaw's Watch. Congressman Hedge, of Iowa, holds that Secretary Shaw is one cf the best political campaigners in the coun? try. "Nobody ever gets away," said Hedge, "ii Leslie gets a cnance to ad? dress them personally. "In one campaign he carried a splendid new watch. After sddress ing an andieuce he would circu?ale among the voters, saying to this man aud that: 'I wish you would give me the correct time. i?m afraid of losing my train.' "Of course, each man complied, feeling flattered at the request. Shaw used to say it was hard cn the watch, but he be?iev?d the votes he won in this way more than mads up."-In? dianapolis News.
