License or No License.

The public mind is thoroughly
aroused on the liquor question. The
Legislature found the sentiment so
strong that, representing the peo-
pie, it passed very stringent law
in regard to granting licenses, pro-
hibiting their being granted outside
of incorporated cities and towns,
and imposing what was probably
regarded by that body an addition
al burden upon the liquor dealer of
S100 for the benefit Of the County.
Several incorporated towns have
held municipal elections within the
past week in which the chief issue
was license or no license. Chester
went for license; Greenwood for
license; Rock Hill for no license :;
Laurens for no license

The House will receive the remaining
bills from the appropriation conp'ittce
very soon, and proceed with them
during the time not given to other
purposes by the rules. The three
measures in which most interest is
t*k"n. aside from the appropriation
bills, seem to have better prospects,
at least in the House-than they had
week ago. They are the funding
bill. the Interstate commerce bill, and
the reapportionueut bill. Upon the
f,,"l named one there has been great
deal of informal caucusiug done of
late. The tendency of opinion is to-
wards a higher rate of interest than
three per cent, and division of the
issue into bonds or Treasury notes re-
deeuable at different times after two
years.
Mr.. Reagan claims for his Inter
State commerce bill, majority OF
fifty in the House, and a certainty of
passage in the Senate. He will be
fortunate if be gets a vote Of any kind
upon it in the House, I think.
All who now speak Of the reappor-
tionment bill, which will be introduced
this week by Mr.. Cox, say it should
pass. Even those Republicans who
would do almost anything for party
sake, and who would like to have the
measure passed by the next House
because that House will be Republican,
say tE.is is the proper time for its pas
sage.
Above I mentioned the rules c. the
House When they were adopted as
the work of men like Randall, Ste.
| phens, Frye, BlackburDe, and others,
it was thought they would be great
improvement upon the old rules. This
is not the general opinion in the
| House now. Indeed. the best parlia-
!, mentarians favor another revision, and
will probably take measures during
the session to secure it.
Yesterday, special com a'ittee, with
Representative Converse, as Chairman.
was appointed to ascertain the facts
concerning the alleged improper use
of franks in mailing documents from
this city during the Presidential cam
paign. There were charges against
both the Democratic aad Republican
| Committees having headquarters here:
and the House sometime ago called
upon the Postmaster General for par
ticulars. That official sent ia q report
which is said to duplicate none but
Democrats. The Committee just ap-
pointed will take such evidence as to
bring out all the facts.

On this point it WAS agreed that no

Some OF NY ChileFhood's Days.

Glow dear to my heart are the scenes Of my
childhood,
AS fond recollection presents them TO
view"
The spot where our eyes first opened
on this great world of ours seems to
claim from US kind of veneration.
There is an innate feeling in man
which prompts him as his soul burns
within him to exclaim, "my own, my
native land" when his thoughts hurry
back to the old homestead where he
was born. The memories of our earli-
est hoxe fill niche III our mental
building, which will never be vacated
until this "hopse not made with
hands" shall have tottered and crum-
bled to ruin. We love to think Of the
dear sunny old hill, the huge oak
where the gold6nch made its summer
sojourn, and the cottage which We
thought SO perfect. True, it was not
of any particular style of architecture,
for our father was bachelor when he
built it, and the design accorded with
a bachelors notions of convenience
The house was built of logs, and was
divided into four rooms, some of which
were ceiled. The others we're nicely
strapped with dressed boards. Two
ire-places made this house very CON-
Portable dwelling. AS to the sur
rounding community, We do say, like
the Icelander about his island, We had
some Of the best neighbors con which
the sun ever shone." Our father was
almost forty.eight and our mother
forty when their eldest child was born,
so you may know there Was great re-
joicing in the little brown room over
an infant, even if it was little red
headed girl baby. No doubt they
thought, like other parents, that We
had a prominent forehead, deep-set
eyes, diupled checks or some other
qualification which rendered US beau
tiful. We have often seen our good
mother laugh heartily as she told US
CT the quaint little gowns and caps
she stitched for US. All ! no more
devoted fingers ever bentito ply the
needle fo- loved one. When two
years had passed a little baby was sent
US for company. We, like most chill
dren, disputed for our right, but being
told it was our own brother, (you know
what a modifying influence that word
ours has) We gave the little nursing
our place 10 "mother's bosom,' and
learned that We could be ''papa's ba-
BY" The family was now complete,
and one of the first thoughts in those
days, was to provide way to attend
church. The people then did not stay
from worship for bad roads or cold
weather. though the churches were

The Indian appropriation bill: was
passed by the House yesterday, nearly
as it came from the Committee. An
Intellectual attempt was made to con-
tinue the Board of Indian Commis
sioners. The Senate, however, which
never suffers House bill to go through
without an amendment, may saddle
the Board upon it. The Board sim
ply introduces confusion into Indian
affairs by dividing responsibility, and
provides soft places for few of Wash
ington's professed philanthropists.
This is the fifth appropriation bill the
House has disposed Of. The Senate

were large and easily impressed. They

for our church. going, father bought
barouche, and though second handed,
it lasted until we were vain enough to
be ashamed of it. Now, we view it
with a feeling of respect when ne
think how many rides it gave US.
With "old Crockett to pull, father to
drive, mother and We children to talk,
our family made some stir" and had
much real enjoyment. We could go
to church easily, and when the crops
were Laid by" Euoree and Broad

house we ever saw, and somehow our
first school impressions were not so

Kelly found a home with US. We
loved him, and hearing that be re-

bad opinion of the teacher. We could
scarcely endure him not knowing that
he was tryiog to SOW good seed. The
teacher and the boy are both dead,

that We cherish his memory for the
kindness shown to US when We were
only five years old. Be kind to the

years. They, being near the school

all know. We speak of our Senator.
Yes, boys, he once played bat and ball

Of you, was fatherless. His mother
was left lone widow with FIVE little
ones to rear. She had not even a. bro

the blessing promised to her who
fears the Lord''. With God for her

have arisen to "call her blessed"
