to prohibit the use of tree passes by
members of the Legislature and state
officers was called up tcT secend read
ing.
Senator Beasley, of Darlington,
moved an indefnate postponement of
the bill
This brought from Senator Wood
ward, strong and vigorous appeal to
the Senate in behalf of his bill. lie said
he had been offered free passes but had
never accepted one. He did not believe
in the principal OF the jury, so TO speak,
accepting presents from LopSe VINO
might have to come to trial before e.
Senator Beasley said he had frequent.
ly rejected free passes, bat he never felt
that any State officer could be lntiuen'
ced by accepting a free pass.

viction Of violation o. the provision Of

Senator Sloan did good thing for the
State in having the joint resolution of
|
collection of State, county, railroad and
other taxes until the Goth OF February,
| 1892, taken up out OF its order and
passed to third reading. There IS lit
tie question of the joint resolution be-
coming law, and the tine for the pay
ment of taxes extended.
PROHIBITION SCORES A VICTORY.
In the House on Friday Mr.. Kirk
land moved to strike out the enacting
| clause Of the prohibition bill, which
brought MIR. Childs to his feet in de-
fence of the bill. He claimed that last
year S1,0O0,O00,O00 was spent for liquor
and this expenditure is increasing at
the rate of s5S,OOO,00O a year. This
does not include the effects Of the traf-
fic. A safe estimate would place this
at another billion dollars. The liquor
traffic costs more annually than all the
expenses of every function Of the gov
crnment. How can matter Of this
magnitude be put aside with sneer ?
In South Carolina the liquor traffic
amounts to S50,OC00OO annually. Every
year $1,000 people died from the effects
| of drink, one every ten minutes. Out
of every five families one must furnish
