The Grip.

The reports from Europe represent
the grip as having appeared there. and
become epidemic In many places In 8
more fatal form than heretofore. The
question arises whether this .is the
same old disease in new form, or aa
entirely new disease, as the SYMPTOMS
and effects are quite different. In the
disease as we have known 1t In this
country there was much sneezilR and
then acute bronchitis, with intense de-
preston and pains In the muscles.
Now it Is reported there Is little or no
catarrh, but the lungs are implicated
and the pains seize the patient as sud
denly as cholera. 1t Is also alleged
that the new grip is more Infectious
than the old one. If the statement Is
true, then the country Is likely to be
rayaged worse than ever. Already 1t
Is we'll known that the disorder has
been far more widely fatal than any
cholera epidemic we have ever had.
Worse yet, each successive attack, In
stead of protecting the patient against
renewal 1t is said only increases his ia;
bility to another. It has asort OF predls'
posing influence.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 15.-In the
Senate yesterday Senator John Gary
Evans called up the dispensary bill spe-
cisl order.
Senator Jenkins spoke to the
motion to strike out the en-.
acting words. when l read
this BILL" exclaimed the Senator, 81 am
so, shocked as q South Carolinian that
l scarcely know where to begin to speak.
If there is one principle more dear to
man than any other 1t is that his home
is castle. Though it be marble pal.
ace or humble cottage, though the
winds of heaven whistle through the
cracks, it Is 80 strong that little child
may stand at the door and command a
king to stop and not enter. Henceforth
there is to be no privacy of home and
our fresides are to be exposed to ire
sponsible and ignorant hirelings. When
the assassin strikes, he strikes one,
when the burglar steals he loots from
one but when you invade the liberties
of the people you strike all. This in
tangible and all pervading thing which
we call the State the palladium Of our
liberties, is to be degraded into house
of traffic, aye traffic of rum. To what
ends it all donef What are We to get in
return for the destruction Of our liber.

Senator Sloan followed Senator Jen-
kins and prefaced his remarks by say
ing that be mad already stated his 20
sition and would not consume the time
of the Senate. He simply rose to pro-
test against the bill and plead Orits
death as means to the restoration OF
peace In the State once more.
Senator Brown declared some Of the
bills features were Objectionable. He
had favored high license last year and
still believed tiiat it would have been
the best solution OF the problem. His
county had been a"dry" county and
the law was giving satisfaction. Now
the alternative presented itself that a
dispensary must be imposed upon his
people or else they were to suffer extra
taxation to suppress illicit traffic.
Senator Fuller expressed himself IN
bold terms. He had observed with dis
satisfaction that the practiced opera
tion Of the law had been to drive the
prohibition sentiment from the State.
He would not have voted for the meas-
ure had he so anticipated. Its tenden-

cy was on the one hand to drive prohi-
bitlon out and to waver rapidly toward
the bar system on the other. He would
have to YIELD to the majority If It pre-.
vailed in reference to the sentiment
agitated In favor of the dispensary, but
he felt his duty to protest against 1t.
He begged that counties be left In po.
sition to have local option If they
wished it. Under the operation of the
law the tendency was to demolish the
local option features.
Senator W. D. Evans stated that he
was friendly to the bail and would vote
for it on its final passage If he could
succeed In getting certain amendments
incorporated, Otherwise he would not.
He was opposed to the power given
the constabulary to invade private
premises. BE was opposed to the con-
version Of dispensaries into open bar.
rooms by the provision for the sale Of
beer. Another objection WAS that the
present law last year guaranteed to
the prohlbitionists the territory they
had fought for and captured, but now
it was designed to place them on the
defensive and force them to make the
struggle again.
Senator Smythe remarked that the
bill could not be amended. There was
an underlying principle running
through the whole scheme which could
not be changed.
Mr.. John Gary Evans replied that
the Senate had the ability and intelli.
gence to amend any bill; to strike out
underlying principles If necessary. SEN
ator Smythe had not been constituted
the guardian Of the Senate. Senator
Evans moved to table the motion to
strike out the enacting words. Sena.

Senator Wilson offered an amend
ment making the use Of abusive Ian.
guage towards constables punishable
by fine or imprisonment.
Senator SmYthe inquired If the Sem
ators were going to make saying "cuss
words" q crime?
Senator Wilson actually thought the
amendment was necessary on account
Of the epithets hurled at the constables
and the abusive language of the news
papers.
Senator Smythe said that 1t was q
niue commentory on the law that In
order to enforce 1t 1t become necessary
to make crimes of what had never been
