that eventful period in his political

He walks with more sprightly step,
and his general nature appears to
have undergone decided change since
he declared himself to be "Pennsyl-

[ metropolitan bill was taxation without
representation for these commissioners
are appointed without the city having
! q voice, yet the citizens are compelled
to tax themselves to pay any bills they
may sec fit to order. Speaking of the
Charleston primary election bill be
said 1t was partisan measure which
in connection with the metropolitan
police measure, eompels him to el!eve
intention to change the political senti-
ments Of Charleston il possible.
He said that the people OF Charles
ton were not unused to adversity and
the proud people of his city had not
been broken even when adversely was
heaped upon her by the hand of God
And shall we quail before an adversely
placed on us by the hand of manp He
held that in many respects the force
bill sank into insignificance incompari-
son with some of the provisions of
these bills. The force bill did not take
ay every vestige OF home rule and
economy as they do. In conclusion he
said all that he wanted was to see his
people have only equal rights and pri-
vileges with other people.
The ayes and noes were demanded
on Mr.. Gadsden's amendment which
was rejected by vote of 78 to II.
Those voting for the amendment
were Messrs. Adams, Ashley, Bacot,
Breeland, Devereaux, Johnson, B. j.,
Pyatt, Saunders, A. K, Thomas, Wes-
ton, Wilson, Mehrtens, Mellett, Man
ming, Dothage, Lotion.
Mr.. Crum moved to strike out the
provision requiring the commissioners
to report to the Mayor the list OF ap-
pointees, removals, etc. He said one
member OF the city council had al
ready been indicted for running blind
tiger and when Aldermen are guilty
OF such violations they should not be
informed who the special detectives
are. Speaking Of Charloston's patriot
ism he said her people used to be pa
triotic but 1t is not 80 now for only
year or two ago whom she was called
upon to suppress a riot she threw down
her arms.
He moved to amend, however, re-
quiring the Chief to report to the
Mayor.
Mr.. ShumaE moved an amendment
that when any city or town is put an
der the provisions of the bill that such
city shall receive the Dispensary pro-
fits.
Mr.. Crum thought that question was
fully covered by the present Dispen-
sary law.
Mr.. Breazeale agreed with Mr.. Shu-
man. |
Mr.. Watson didn't want to offer any |
Inducements for having metropolitan
police and he thought the amendment |
might do that.
Mr.. blackwell thought the amend
ment just one.
Mr.. Devereaux said that Judging
from the legislation now going on he |
concluded that Charleston is South |
Carolina, as all of it seems to be di- |
'ected at her. The amendment was
adopted and the bill was passed.

| no Announcement of His Candidacy Re-
garded as a Declaration that Governor
Evans will Seek Senatorial Honors.
Columbia Register.
Gen. William II. Ellerbe, of Marion,
Is candidate for Governor. This an
nouncement was made yesterday by a
| member OF the Colleton delegation in
the General Assembly, who said he
was authorized to speak for General
Ellerbe.
Ihlg announcement was not unex-
pected, for the Register several weeks
ago contained an interview with o leg
islator, in which he stated that If Gov.
ernor Evans became a candidate to
su ;ceed Hon. John l.. Nj. Irby in the
United States Senate, General Ellerbe
would seek to succeed him as the ten
ant OF the Executive Mansion.
While there has been no authorita-
tive declaration from Governor Evans
or any Of his friends as to his inten-
tions, the announcement of Ellerbe's
gubernatorial aspirations, coming
from the source whence it issues, is
almost tantamoupt to declaration of
Evans's Senatorial candidacy, as it
would be waste of time and mouey
for Ellerbe to run for Governor II
Evans were seeking reelection.
General Ellerbe WAS one of the orig
inal Reformers and did much to bring
about the triumph of the movement in
1890, when he became Comptroller
General, which Office he held four years,
filling it to the entire satisfaction OF
the taxpaying public, of whose inter-
ests he was always vigilant guardian.
In 1894 General Ellerbe was q candi-
date for Governor, canvassing the
State and making vigorous speeches
from the stump in every county. When
John Gary Evans defeated him for
the Reform "suggestion" in the Collie
ton primary, he gracefully submitted
and turned in and helped Evans defeat
Dr.. S"mps Pope, the Independent can
didate. This conduct made him many
friends, especially among the support
ers and admirers of Evans, who vowed
then that If the chance ever came
they would mako amends by support
ing him for Governor
The only other openly avowed Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidate at pres
ent is Col. r. B. Watson, Senator from
Edgetield, whose platform is opposi-
tion to State support OF institutions
for higher education.
1t may be that other candidates will
enter the Democratic primary. There
has been some talk OF the possibility
OF General McLaurin's entering the
gubernatorial race, but the general
consensus Of opinion was that he would
go back to Congress, in which he has
made particularly good record.
Whoever the Democrats name as
their candidate he will have to beat
that chronic otiiceseeker, Samps Pope,
who Is reported to be determined to
play lone hand once more.

Mr.. Thomas raised the point that
while the House was sitting the mace
must be removed from the Speakers
desk. The point was ruled to be we'll
taken and the mace was placed under
the reporters table.
a number Of amendments were about
to be offered when Mr. L. J. Williams
said that If this kept up the bill would
not be completed during the day and
as the House had to elect board of
control and good mon ought to be se-
lected without any rush and he moved
that the committee rise, which was
agreed to.
Judge Townsend in speaking OF the
clerical errors, said that he would
stake his professional reputation that
the court would construe the sentences
In their true intent and meaning and
he thought the House could adopt the
Senate amendment without fear.
Mr.. Bacot moved that the amend
ments OF the committee on the whole
be adopted and referred to the com
mlttee OF conference to be later ap-
pointed. This was tabled on motion
OF Mr.. l.. j. Williams and the reading
of the bill was resumed.
1t was ten minutes to ] when the
reading was completed, and Mr.. Brea-
zeale moved that the House do not
concur in order to have committee of
free conference.
Mr.. Bacot said that he simply wished
to state one single objection to the bill
in addition to others he had. BY its
provisions no mother or housekeeper
of the State can keep bottle of black
berry wine or plum cordial without be-
ing subject to this Act. He didn't be-
to hiring the women of the State into the
vortex of this legislation which had
SO vexed her sons. He asked that he
be allowed to spread his reasons upon
the journal.
After some discussion the chair ap-
pointed Messrs Breazeale, Shuman n
and l.. j. Williams committee of con-
ference on the bill.

Dispensary bill reported that they had

FREE TUITION IN COLLEGES.
Shall the State Institutions be Kept Open
for all Students Without Charoe7

The night session of the Senate was
one of lively and interesting debate.
The educational bill was up for con-
sideration, and this measure never
fails to create lively interest and de-
bate.
Mr.. Efird offered an amendment that
all pupils should pay an annual tuition
OF $50 a year.
Mr.. McCalla offered an amendment
making the tuition $25 year.
Mr.. Watson said we are giving too
much toward higher education that
we are spending money for twenty
four per cent. of the pupils while
seventy-six per cent. are going without
aid. He said there were 80 many Office
hunters they were afraid to deal fairly
with the question. Every man who
had no office was expecting to run for
one. He said we were paying $500 a
year each for boys to get an academic
education. The State said to overy
boy: 1--WE will pay five dollars to your
education whore you pay one." Sell

publicanism, and we should teach our

THE NEW DlSPENSARY LAW.

Tho Amendments Were Rushed Through
the House--The Bill FinalIyi Passed.
When the Dispensary bill was called
up Mr.. Manning wanted 1t considered
by the House as committee OF the
whole, in order, he said, to accept its
good features and reject It's bad ones.
This was the only way to do this as
the bill was Senate amendment.
Mr.. l.. j. Williams said there were
features of the bill, which he opposed,
but 1t was important that some law be
passed and the House had no time to
60 into conferences on the bill.
In Section 2 a sentence was found
which made no sense. The printed
bill and the manuscript bill were
exactly the same.
Mr.. l.. j. Williams wanted the chair
to rule whether either House could
correct clerical error.
The chair ruled that 1t could only be
l done by conference committee.

Tho Yorkville Enquirer notes the
death OF Gcnoral Lewis Merrill, which
occurred in the Presbyterian hospital,
Philadelphia, last Thursday morning,
as the result Of kidney affection.
Merrill was post commandant at York
vile during the Ku-Klux troubles Of
the early '70's, and in this position be-
came notorious. His energy was equal
ed only by his Observation-Disclosures and as
the result, the Ku-Klux organization
was soon broken up, and the guilty,
along with perhaps many OF the in
nocent, were convicted before Judge
Bond. Before Merrill's arrival, Gov
ernor Scott offered a reward OF 1920
for each capture and conviction OF Il
Ku-KluX, and under this offer Merrill
collected something like $4,000. BY
his action in taking the money he lost

LAS our farmers were so fortunate

ter, now the question is, what is tho
best method to keep the joints, espe.
cially the hams, nice and sweet through
the summer? l have tried many and
various, but my experience has led me
to conclude that the cheapest, cleanest
and surest method is in the applica-
tion OF pllverized borax just after the
meat has been smoked Tor dried.
Wash clean and while the meat is
damp sprinkle the flesh side of the
hams and shoulders with pulverized
borax, hang up in the smoke house,
and it will keep sweet and clean all
the year, insects will not trouble it
