As we predicted, Senator Gills so-called
'free inspection" bill came to GRIFFIN the House
of Delegates last week, having been defeated
by a decisive vote notwithstanding the votes of
I'll of our Charles county delegation in its
favor. Mr.. Wilkinson, Republican delegate
from ST. Mary 5, strongly opposed the bill and
made a forcible argument against it. Mr.
was Democratic party measure and said that
he. though Republican, felt compelled in re-
cognition of the known sentiments and interest
of the tobacco growers of his county to oppose
the measure.
Mr. Wilkinson has introduced a compromise
measure in the House, which is in full accord
with the suggestions which have appeared in
the TINES as to changes which might be ad-
vantae eeously made, and Is a measure, We be-
lieve, judging from the newspaper reports OF it,
upon which all interests can harmonic and
which ought to pass Among It's provisions
are the following:
1t abolishes the compulsory feature of the
law to the extent that the planter can ship his
tobacco to any port he may desire but cannot
have it inspected in the State except at the
State Warehouses. 1t also allows planters to
ship in packages as well AS by hogshead-pack-
ages to contain not less than 100 nor more
than GOO pounds. The inspector in sampling
is required to represent the tobacco in the hogs
head, not to average as at present. A board
of arbitration is provided for consisting OF one
to be selected by the buyer and one by the in
spector, and if they cannot agree they select a
third and the claim is TO be made before the
tobacco is shipped. 1t condemns tobacco falsely
packed, and defines what constitutes the same,
viz; tobacco packed with rocks stones, dirt
and material of any kind other than tobacco,
and also tobacco so falsely packed that the in
spector not properly represent the same,
and it requires such tobacco TO be sold by said
inspector and the proceeds turned over to the
State.

Will We Have Better Weather.

The six weeks during which The prophetic

were to have bad weather expired last Saturday.
There was a growing in6delity in the power OF
the ground hog to tell hat the weather would
be, but he has re-sstabiished himself in public
confidence. Doubt vanishes in the experience
Of the past six weeks. We have faith not only
in the little animals prophetic powers but also
in his wisdom, hich latter quality is display
ed by his remaining in his hole. He is far
ahead Of Vennor, and Virgins is monsrous
fraud compared to him. The ground hog
ought 10 issue a weather almanac Some pes

when he comes out that be will Immediately
retire to his hole for four weeks longer, during
" hith the weather will be repetition of the
past six weeks. But we have better opinion
Of the ground hog than that. We think that
he is contented now that be has wel punished

hope for pleasant weather-let us deal respect
fully with the ground hog and perhaps we will
