Vetoed by the Governor.

COLUMBIA, April 10.-The governor
has vetoed three acts passed by the
last legislature. The first, and one
which caused much talk before it got
through the house, is entitled: ITO
provide for the appointment of magis-
trates and to define their jurisdiction,
powers and duties" The governor
objected to this act for two special rea-
sons, the first being that it gave him
no power to remove a magistrate, no
matter of what act he was guilty.
Complaints were received very soon
after by him from people in regard to
magistrates and if this act was passed
he would have no way of getting an
incapable man out of the Office. It
will be remembered that the. house re-
jected this part of the law, but it was
afterwards put in by the conference
committee and so got through. The
second objection to the act was that
after the senate had rejected magls-
trate he could be reappointed.
The second act was: ITO declare
the duties of county treasurers as to
publishing their reports and to pro.
hibit payment therefor" The objec-
ton to this was that it was only by
publishing the county treasurer's re-
ports that the people could learn of the
finances of their county and they
ought not to be kept in the dark.
The third is: "To dispose Of certain
books in the State library" The books
in question are the first statutes at
large of South Carolina. The object
was to furnish copies of these books
free of charge to any member who
might want one, only reserving 500
copies for the State library The
book was edited by Thomas Cooper
about the year 1892 and is one of his
torical value.-State.

We often complain of the frequent
changes in the temperature, yet with
out these changes there would be no
seasons, no clouds, no rain, no life.
There would be one eternal calm, and
the atmosphere would soon become
stagnant and poisonous. So science
tells us.

TOE THE MARK.
County Dispensaries Amenable to the
State Board Only.

State Board Only.
COLUMBIA, April 9.-The circular
letter sent out by the State board of
control to the county dispensers will
prove interesting to those who keep
track of the whiskey business in this
State. It is as follows:
1.-The dispensary law under which
you have hitherto worked became a
nullity on the 31st of March, and you
are now operating under q new law
enacted by the recent legislature, and
under that act you are amenable sole
ly to the State board of control. The
board is composed of five members.
who are charged with general man
agement of the dispensary business,
and from whom you will hereafter re-
ceive all orders aud instructions. You
must send to the State board of con-
troll (and not to tho commissioner or
State treasurer) the following: All
orders for liquors, beers and wines;
all invoices Of empty bottles shipped
by you, with bill of lading attached; !;
al claims for shortage on invoices and
all invoices needing correction. Your
we3sly statement Of sales and cash
ACCOUNT and duplicate remittance to
State treasurer, your monthly reports
on forms "a" and "B" and your quar-
terly reports must also be sent to the
State board of control. You must re-
NIT on Monday of each week to the
State treasurer. To no one else must
you send any reports. save the original
weekly remittance blank to the State
treasurer. When your orders for
shipments are received by the State
board of control, they will be turned
over to the commissioner, whose duty
it will be to ship them and send you
invoice for same. But II any correc-
tons are to be made or shortages on
any invoice claimed you must report
the same to the State board of control,
and not to the commissioner.
Ship no more empty cases and also
refrain from shipping empty bottles
until further orders from the board.
You must not speculate on your bottle
purchases, as the rule allowing you to
purchase is for the benefit of the par
ties selling, and not for your profit.
This rule will be strictly enforced.
"The State board OF control are un.
alterable in their determination to rig
idly enforce the dispensary law, and
they expect you to live up to every
feature contemplated in the act Their
administration of the law will be done
fearlessly and without favor, and, we
hope, always tempered with justice.
The trust reposed in you is most i'm
portant one, and you are charged with
the sacred task of preserving the mo-
rality of that class of your community
that is addicted to an Incorporate use
of intoxicants by rigidly enforcing the
provisions of a law which clearly con.
templates q betterment of the morals
of the people by minimizing the use of
intoxicants by all, and absolutely plac.
ing them, so far as is in your power,
beyond the reach of inebriates and
minors.
"You must not allow any loafing or
drinking on your premises, and your
hearty cooperation in our efforts to
faithfully carry out the true spirit and
intention of the dispensary law will
receive our appreciation. State.

We estand with our party in the reit-

reorganization OF the party on certain

carefully watched than in a primary
election. In other words, in the or

alone should participate. In confer

none but the true and tried should be
allowed to enter. While there might
be some excuse in primary elections to
gain all recruits from other parties
possible, I do not hesitate to say that

to give and take, and to ABIDE the re-

loose-fttlng fronts are closed ipyisibly
with a fly in centre, and above the
closing the fronts are reversed in
square-shaped lapels, the coat collar
meeting the lapels in ends OF the same

the shaping below the waist line pro-

made ready for massive belfry in the
suburbs of Cincinnati, wheSe it is
soon to ring out the loudest peal that
has ever yibrated upon the free air of
America. The new bell is to weigh
nearly fifteen tons, aud the great bell
in the cathedral at Montreal, hitherto
the largest on the American continent,
weighs less than thirteen tons. The
largest in England, the Westminster
bell, weighs about the same, while one
in Vienna, the largest in actual use in
Europe, weighs about twenty tons.
The monster of Moscow, which lies
broken and PROSTATE, weighed more
than 200 tons, )ut it was simply
a huge raistake, which having failed
as bell IS now used as chapel. 1t
is stated, too, that there is mon
stronsity somewhere in China that
weighs about sixty tons.
The great Chinese cat call is said to
be about fourteen feet in height and
shaped like barrel. The Cincinnati
bell, which is modelled after . bell in
Erfurt, Prussia, is accounted the
sweetest in the world, is seven feet
in height and nine in diameter at the
base. The clapper will weigh $40

shall be SO poised that one man can

give SO satisfactory a result. The
idea that an admixture of silver will
sweeten the tone is q popular de-
lusion.
From the foundry the bell will be
taken to vacant soace adjoining
Federal square, there to be exhibited
for a month. Finally, before being
placed in position, the great bell will
be consecrated according to the Roman
Catholic custom. The bell will then
be raised to the belfry, where it is to
be mounted in connection with q
chime of twenty-six smaller bells, yet
to-be cast.
A novel feature in the proposed
peal of bells will be its connection,
by an ingenious device, with the
organ. so that it will be under the
control of the organist. and may be
used to reinforce the rendering of the
solemn anthems. Frank Wilson, the
organlst, is looking forward to the
time when he will be enabled to
achieve something unique in the his
tory Of music.

the cost, but at least $4,000 more will
be expended before Cincinnati's noble

There is no doubt that there is a
relation between education and crime.
British statistics show plainly enough
for blind man to see that the wider
the educational privileges are ex-
tended the lower is the ratio of crime.
How could it be otherwise? A great
many crimes are committed by men
who are not totally depraved, because
they have no resources and don't know
how to get a living. An education
gives them opportunities. It makes
them self-reliant, and if they can't do
one thing they do another. The temp
tation to lead vicious life is thereby
weakened.
