eight per cent. of the tickets were sold, and the
prizes were scaled in proportion. No. 89,N1

VIM Thorn, of Chester County, N. O.,
has been expelled from the North Carolina
Legislature for promulgating the disbelief Of
God and other heresies. The vote was forty

by the colored members.
- Advices from Tennessee state that almost
the entire business portion of Chattanooga Is
under water, and that boats are being used to
aid the escape of the citizens and to save goods,
&c. The food in that city is several feet
higher than in 1867, and great distress pre-
walls among the inhabitants.

The Whiskey Traffic.

We are reliably informed that the traffic in
whiskey is largely on the increase in many
sections of this County, and that whiskey
wagons are becoming frequent and regular
visitors to certain neighborhoods. The effect
of this nefarious traffic is to demoralize the
labor of the country, create disturbances among
the laboring classes, and inhame the worst pas
sions of the human breast. The well-being
and good order of society demand that this
business shall be suppressed, and when we add
the illegality and unlawfulness of the traffic,
we think it is the duty of all good citizens to
aid in its suppression. We are told that the
owners of the whiskey wagons claim that the
internal revenue tax has been paid, which they
deem guarantee for their protection, and
these statements are often made to intimidate
citizens from interfering with their business.
Now, we venture to say that the revenue tax,
in nine cases out of ten, has not been paid, and
where it has been paid, the party selling the
whiskey has no license as retail dealer. The
very nature of this traffic demonstrates its ille-
pality. for it is conducted for the most part at
night and in neighborhoods remote from the
revenue officials. But even were the revenue
laws complied with, there is no evidence that
license has been obtained from the State au
thorities, and We would advise every citizen
whose vicinity is cursed with the presence of
whiskey wagons to give information to the
nearest Trial Justice, whose duty will be to
sxam;ne into the matter, and bring offenders
to Justice. A vigorous application of this rem
edy will speedily end the illicit business, and
nroye blessing to our entire population.

LeGlSIatiVesNOteS.

A bill has been introduced to re-charter the
town of Belton, in Anderson County.
The bill to regulate the sale of seed cotton
in Anderson, spartanburg and Union Counties
has passed both Houses.
The Governor has approved an act to make
the drainage law applicable to the counties OF
Spartanburg, Pickens, Oconee and Beaufort.
The voters of Chester County are to be a.
lowed the privilege Of voting upon the question
of "fence" or "no fence" bill having been
introduced for that purpose.
The Governor has vetoed the act to validate
all payments made by the County Treasurer OF
Edgefeld, which he denounces as an unneces-
sary and dangerous precedent. The veto was
sustained by the Senate.
The bill to repeal the law relating to official
newspapers received its final reading in the
House of Representatives on Thursday last.
There will be no more "official organs" and
legal advertisements can now be inserted in
newspapers of the most desirable circulation.
What has become of all the registration bills
introduced in the early part of the session
Nearly every other member had scheme for
the registration of voters, but the enthusiasm
on this subject is apparently gone, for we do
not hear of any progress being made in this
direction. We presume the bills are pigeon
holed for the present session.
It is proposed to amend the act relating to
school funds by adding a provision that any
County Treasurer refusing or neglecting to pay
any order of board Of school trustees, coun-
tersigned by the school commissioner, ont of
any moneys in his hands disbursable for that
purpose, shall be deemed guilty Of misde-
meanor, punishable with fine Of $1,000, not
less than $500, and from SIX months to one
years imprisonment; the fine TO be used for
free common school purposes.
An amendment to the constitution has been
proposed, which will transfer the collection of
the free school tax from the State to the coun-
ties. The county commissioners are directed
to levy an annual tax of not less than two
mills for school purposes, and leaves the distr-
button of the fund to the county officials, under
existing laws. This amendment would prevent
school funds being locked up in the State
Treasury, and if the money was stolen, it
would be retained at home, which would be
some advantage and consolation.

may be diverted from its lawful purpose and
used for any other purpose that the caprice or
partiality of the State Treasurer may dictate,
and all this in the face not only of the positive
prohibitions of the statute, but of prescribed
penalties of fine, Imprisonment and deprivation
of ofice-if all this can be done by the State
Treasurer with impunity, then all law for the
direction and restraint of public officers is
dead letter in South Carolina, and the fear of
punishment need deter no public officer from
IT'S violation.

Legislative Expenses.

The Legislature seems disposed to Ventilate
the State Treasurer, and Mr.. Cardoza wants to
return the compliment by exposing the dark
and devious ways of that body, by which large
sums of money are obtained for legislative
expenses. In a recent communication, the
Treasurer forwarded statement of the expen-
ses last winter, together with list of the re-
cipients of this legislative bounty. The appro-
priation for expenses of the regular session of
1874 was $215, ,OOO-of this 100000 for
members and $4,000 for employees and con-
tingent expenses. The orders issued were
largely in excess of the sum appropriated,
amounting to $140,3l1.46. The Treasurer fur
ther states, Oh reliable information, that $780,
900 additional claims are now outstanding, on
which he has made no payments whatever.
Who is responsible for this over-issue of pay
certificates This mutual exposure of fraudu-
lent transactions is healthy sign for the peo-
pie, and if it is carried far enough, we may
obtain a satisfactory answer as to where the
money has been going during the reign of cor
ruption and theft. The taxpayers are pre-
pared to receive the information, but will the
Republicans make full and complete show
ing? The Conservative members are acting
with good sense in keeping aloof from this
fight between the contending factions of the
dominant party. At the proper time their
Judgment will be rendered on the side of hon
esty and exact justice, and we commend their
present attitude of silence and sound dscre-
ton, awaiting the utmost limit of these expo
sures,

OBITUARY.

Dear little LIZZIE, infant daughter of DR..
George r. and Hattie C. Dean, died on Wednes-
day evening, February 5, 1875, aged 10 months,
2 weeks and 8 days.
Our dove-eyed darling, our sweet little dear,
Has left us to mourn, but the angels to cheer;
She has been called by the "Godone to man1ons ADORE
Where SORROW is unknown, but all Is love.
Our Cherub was too pure for world like this,
Her home is in Heaven, abode Of bliss,
Where she will rest in the bosom through eternity
OF the one who said, "Let them come unt" me-"
Though the blow seems hard-seems In cruelty sent,
The Father knows best, and in love it Is meant;
And such Is His kingdom, docs he not say7
To us he says come-and We should obey.

TEURsDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1875.
State Press Association.

Tie Abbeville Medium has revived the pro-
feet Of establishing "a association among the
editors and publishers Of South Carolina, for
the mutual benefit and improvement Of the
press gang. We have frequently endorsed
similar movements since the war, and are
ready now to unite with our brethren In the
formation of Press Association, not only as
means of securing the benefit of each others
experience in the business, but are willing to
assist in an organization for its social benefits
alone. We would suggest that our contempo-
rary appoint an early day for meeting in Col
umbia to organize the State Press Association.

The Monumental Entertainment.

It was announced last week that an enter
tainment will be given at the Masonic Hall on
Friday evening, 18th of March. The funds
derived from the entrance tickets are to be de-
voted to monument in course OF erection TO
the Confederate dead of South Carolina. Those
who attend, we are sure, will spend delightful
evening, as the pleasant company of ladies
assembled there, together with music, dancing
and refreshments, must needs assure this re-
suit 1t is proper and becoming that we
should sometimes sacrifice to other interests
than those Of the passing day; such diversion
is gentle dissipation, it may be pleasing
change for the graver business of life, and pre-
pares by its recreation for the demands OF pro-
ssic duty. The money contributed Will be
devoted to noble cause-a grand souvenir OF
those who fought and died for the South.
Such testimonial of affection and reverence
10 duo from she living. This devotion pre-
serves the principles and sentiments which if1'
spired and Influenced Confederate soldiers. 1t
perpetuases history; and hereafter, degener-
ate and auailing age may be reminded BY these
monuments and that history to initiate the
patriotism and valor Of the dead. We respect
the general who leads armies to victory, but ne
is rewarded. While living, he is surrounded
by the pride, pomp and circumstance of life,
military and civil. When dead, monuments
are erected to his memory which celebrate his
deeds, and perpetuate for future generations to
admire his genius and his valor. His fame is
secure But our reverence should be given IN
an especial degree to the unrecorded dead--to
the soldier, who, without having the culture OF
Cato or Brutus, without hoping that historians
will relate or poets sing his achievements, yet
dares to suffer and diel
Hence, all must sympathize with the object
contemplated by this entertainment and 1t is
not unreasonable to anticipate great success.
This party is undertaken under the special
charge of Miss Orr and Miss Rucker, whose
Judgment and taste, ne have every confidence,
will be equal to the occasion. And when the
time has passed, We will be reoiced to say, not
only that the entertainment was delightful,
but that handsome donation was made to
good cause by the generous citizens of Ander-
son. whose sons were foremost in the fray when
courage and valor were needed.

AHINT TO THE LEAN,

The cause of leanness, when there is no posi-
q We disease which produces it, is an imperfect
discrimination of the food. The weight of the body

increases proportionately 10 its height, when il
is properly nourished with iresh-maklng olooo;
sides and hollow cheeks, we have right o In
fer that his blood is thin and waiery and his
Constitution delicate. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is peculiarly serviceable to thin. delicate
people, since it strengthens the digestive and
assimiiatiVe organs. and is consequently a pow
erful auxiliary in the blood manufacturing pro-
cesses which in a state of health ought TO be-
and are, thoroughly performed. An increase OF
muscle as well as fat, is result OF using this
sovereign antl-dyspeptic, appetizing and gen

proper thing TO do is to go to sleep imme-
diately Cor at least very soon) after the
meal Of the day. All slimals always 20
To sleep, il they are not disturbed, after
eating. This is especially noticeaoie IN
dogs; and the great John Hunter showed
by an experiment that digestion went on
during sleep more than when the animai
experiment: He took two dogs and gave
them both the same quantity of food.
One Of them was allowed to 60 to sleep;
the other was taken out hunting. At the
ems n three or four hours he killed both
of these dogs. The food in the stomach
of the dog which had been asleep was
quite digested; in that of the one which
had been hunting. the food was not d.
gested at all.
This fact, think, shows the advi.abiity
of going to sleep Immediately after eating.
This ignored fact always occurs to my
memory when see old gentlemen nod
ding over their wine. Nature says to
them $50 to bed" They will no! go
to bed but still nature will not allow her
law to be broken, SO she sends them to
sleep sitting in their chairs. People,
therefore, who feel sleepy after dinner.
ought to dine late, and go straight to bed
when sleepy feeling comes over them:
Most good folks, however, do the worst
possible thing Imaginable; thcyfretire

then, to make matters worse. they drink
tea and coffee. Now regard tea and
coffee. when taken at night, to be poison
to certain constitutions. 1t is very we'll
in the morning, but it is very bad at night
The reason why tea and coffee shonld not
be taken at night is that the one contains
an alkaloid called tLeine, and the other
contains an alkaloid called caffeine. These
two alkaloids, taken into the system.

RI I take. thoughtlessly. cup of tea or
