NOTES AND COMMENTS.

NoNeTnoT EiierDe makes out q
bad case against Judge Simonton.
the great usurper, in his message.
He doesn't use as vigorous lam
guage in his "bill of Indictment"
as did Tlllman and Evans, but 1T is
evident that he had vigorous lam
guage in his minds And next time
he had as well use 1T, If it isn't too
bad to print. 1t would do no good,
but it makes entertaining read
ing; and one had as we'll speak
his mind when discussing such
mon as Simonton-he couldn't say
anything too bad.
%vs
do not know, but I believe
the Legislature would make a
mistake If it wore to follow the
advice OF the Governor and elm
mate the profit feature of the dis
pensary. The friends of the dis
pensary do not believe in it for
the money there is in it-there
are other ways of dealing with
the liquor question that more
money could be made for the
State than can be made by the
dlspensary law; but at the same
time they believe, or most of them
do, that it is best, for several rea-
sons, that something should be
made out of it.
This is bad time to increase
expenses of the State; yet a bill
has been introduced in the Legis-
lature to make another judicial
dlstrict-to ma ke another Judge
solicitor, and stenographer.
"s*
On its face the suggestion that
all places where liquors are sold
-dispensaries as we'll as original
package houses-be required to
pay license seems TO be u good
one--seems to be a way to get
round Simonton's decision. But
there is no telling; if a mean man
wants to do mean thing he can
generally find a way to do it, if
not one way, then another.
The vacancy in the Board of
Control should be filed by a man
who has faith in the dispensary
law. Wouldn't Mr.. il. "A. Moore,
Of Darlington, be suitable man
***
The Legislature need not both
er itself about the pistol carry
ing habit. 1t has already done It's
part, but the solicitors and grand
juries and people have not done
thelrs-and won't do 1t.
*s*
What DO the people of Charles
ton, and what does the Lcgisla
ture, think Of experimenting
with the Norwegian system in
Charleston! For the State at
large believe the dispensary Is
by far the best system ever yet
devised for the control Of the
liqour business, but the conditions
are different in Charleston from
the rest of the State, and il might
be better to try something else
there and from what | know Of
the Norwegian system | believe
1T would come nearer suitiug
there than anything else. For one
thing it Is likely that it would
have much less opposition than
the dispensary has.

sowing PanRy Seed.

During early October is a good time
for sowing pansy seed for next springs
supply of plants for bedding out. The
reason for fall sowing out of doors is
that the plants are not then subjected
to the hot, drying influences of the
house, which are so likely to bring on
red spider and other troubles.
Prepare bed of very rich, porous
loan on we'll drained location. Place
over it flame to be filed with forest
leaves as protection to the little plants
over winter. After sowing the seed in
the bed sift a very light covering Of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them; During the process of germina-
ton never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect ger1nina-
tion OF any seed.
AS severe weather approaches cover
the bed with few inches of litter of
some sort, forest leaves being preferable.
At the proper time in the spring the
seedlings may be pricked out of the soil
in the seedbed and transferred to the
bed in which they are to bloom. Wom-

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
er in The aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prOmi-
nentIy before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and use
ouly the better one.

Wives Sell Cheap in New Jersey.

1t must be poor Jerseyman who can
not afford wife. Wives are sometimes
bought and sold cheap and on the in
stallment plan in Newark, in that state.
The other day a volunteer soldier, who
was smtten with the charms of the
young wife of friend of his, asked the
friend if there was not some way by
which he could acquire title to her. The
friend thought there was. He would be
willing to relinquish his claims for s.,
he said. The woman agreed. The SOL
der, however, had not 50 much money.
The best he could do was to plank down
81 cash, agreeing to pay the balance in
four equal installmen;s. The soldier and
the bargain wife were married. The au-
thorites, however, are looking into the
affair.

CONGRESS WILL BE LIBERAL.
APPROPRIATIONS EXPECTED TO
RUN UPTO 1898, 231, 615.
But Old United States Can Get Along
With ARMY of $4,000.

with Army of 25, 900.
A Washington press dispatch says:
The most conservative men in the house
expect the appropriations for the cOm~
ing session to run up into enormous fig
ures. The grand total of the appropria-
tions for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1890, including all the extraordinary
expenses to January 1, but not including
the deficiencies for extraordinary ex-
penses from January l to June 80, 1898,
is 1898, 231 ,615.
Chairman Joseph G. Cannon, of the
committee on appropriations, will en-
deavor to keep them within bounds, but
even he declares that the appropriate rs
for the extraordinary expenditures grow
ing OUT of the war will be liberal.
cit is impossible at this time to say
what these unusual expenditures will
be- said Mr.. Cannon tonight. 1.-THE
estimates of the departments are not
ready and have no unofficial information
that will throw light on this question"
The indications are, however, that they
will be quite heavy, ard so far as the
war appropriations are concerned they
must be dealt with at this session.
"The authorization for the expendi-
ture Of money in connection with the
war expires on the last day of this year,
and no matter what amount Of surplus
there might be Of unexpendeG appropri-
ations not dollar could be then used
without further authority of congress-
We will therefore pass deficiency bill
covering the expenses connected with
the war up to the end of the present
fiscal year.
"There will also be new legislation
required in connection with the regular
army. Under the present law, when the
treaty of peace is ratified the army falls
back at once to a peace basis, and troops
in addition to the regular army could
not be sent to our new possessions for
garrison OF police duty The army will
necessarily have to be enlarged and this
will require special legislation.
81 do not see how we can get along
with less that 100000 men, but of this
number only the usual army of q, 900
could under any circumstances be re-
tanned in this country. To maintain
this army will require the expenditure
of large amount of money"

STARVING IN A FREIGHT CAR.
A Tramp Lives Several Days ON Three
IriRh Potatoes.

A Savannah special says: Ed. Watson,
white man who says his home is in
North Carolina. came near starving to
death in Plant System freight car last
week. He was rescued today in the
Plant System yards.
Watson got into the car at some point
a good distance from here to steal a
ride. The car was locked soon after
ward. This was Friday night of last
week. In his pocket the man had three
small raw potatoes. On this scanty fare
be had to exist until this morning, when
the seal of the car was broken for the
purpose of opening it.

BIENNIAL SESSIONS BILL.
People Taxed 600 for Benefit of PoIiti-
cal Fixers.

On Monday Senator Gross of the
Twenty ninth district introduced into
the senate bill providing for biennial
sessions of the legislature. bill for
the same purpose was introduced into
the house several days ago. 1t begins
to look as if the members of the legisla-
ture we're beginning to feel public n
timent in regard to this matter in ttelr
respective counties. In the Atlanta pa
pers they never, of course, see anything
in favor of biennial sessions. A session
of the Legislature costs the state some
thing like $4,000, the greater part of
which is distributed in Atlanta. Even
those Atlantians who are demanding
lower taxes have nothing to say in favor
of biennial sessions. AS long as the
states money is spent in that city it is
not of much consequence to it's citizens
how much money is unnecessarily spent
on the legislature.
The people outside of Atlanta are,
however, waking up to the fact that they
can get along with one session of the
legislature every two years. In following
the work of the legislature they see that
much of the legislation is useless and
that many laws made by ou6 legislature
are repealed by its successor. Not only
that, but many of the laws are forgotten
almost as soon as they are signed by the
governor.
One of the members of the legislature
said recently that he did not think that
the biennial sessions bill had much
chance to pass because the politicians
liked to get together at the capital once
a year to gossip about political matters
and fix up states. And so the people are
taxed $4,000 every two years in order
that the politicians may have a chance
to exchange views and fix up political
slates Is it not about time the people
made the politicians understand that
they do not intend to be taxed in order
to provide them with an opportunity of
learning from each other what political
wires they are pulling and to FIX up po-
ltical states! If we are to have re-
duction of taxation the legislature could
not do better than to cut down the ex-
penses of its own body in the way sug-
gested.-Savannah News.
