A committee Of the state board of health
met at Columtia Wednesday, looking to some
legls alton on the subject Of the examination
and licensing of physicians, the present law.
by which the examination is conducted by
county boards, enacted in 1890 as a reform
measure, does not seem to have given salts
faction anywhere. 1t will be remembered
that in lo2 bill was presented on recon-
mendation 10y the governor, whose keen in
sight into these matters had taught him that
the first law was reform backwards looking
to the repeal Of this law and the re establish
ment Of the old state board. This law mar
lowly escaped inaction. 1t was killed be-
cause the Senate refused to concur In the pro
vision for the admittance Of graduates from
the South Carolina Medical College to prac-
tice without examination, and the refusal OF
the House TO concur in their amendment.
This provision has already been declared I'M
constitutional in the case OF young DR.. Robb.
The county boards seem to have been a fiat
failure everywhere The state board will
push it and its chances Of passage are good.
The outcome of the Way case at Orange
burg, Is exciting much interest. Jefferson NJ
Way. well-tOdo farmer, was convicted of
the murder az Elliott MILESTONE, a neighbor-
ing farmer The tragedy occurred on Christ
mas night, 1891, at Norway. There had teen
big raining OF lots, ana toward the close OF
the day the crowd became somewhat under
the influence of whisky. row was soon
started, pistols were drawn, and in the dark
ness Of the early night the sharp report of
pistol rang out. then another, and another re-
port, and when the smoke had cleared away
Elliott Milestone was found dead, with a
bullet in his breast. Way was said to be the
who fired the fatal shot and he wa q
charged with murder. This case was heard
ct the May, 1872, term, and he was convicted
of murder. Various motions for new
trial have been made, but without sue
cess. The last hearing was had
before the supreme court last week
for new trial on the ground of atter-dts-
covered evidence The counsel for the de-
Tense asked for authority to argue such mo
ton before the Judge of the circuit court and
1t is very likely that such a motion Will be
granted Ways fate will hang on the decis-
ion OF the presiding justice at the January
term. II he IS granted new trial his case
Will be heard in May. It is said that very ma
! terlal evd snce has been obtained in Way S
favor, one friend OF his going so far as TO say
that Way win not only be exonerated from
blame, but that il viii be proven that he did
not fire the fatal shot.
The Kingstree correspondent OF the Charles
