my purpose to overlook any one.
Miss Bessie DOminick was called
from her school last Wednesday morn
ing with the sad infor.uation that her
mother was seriously i'll. She immedi-
atcly dismissed her school and went
home, but did not arrive in time to see
her mother alive Mrs. DOminicll was
the wife Of Andrew p. Dominick, of
Prosperity. We were not personally
acquainted with Mrs. Dominick, but
We knew some Of her children, and
their good manners and behavior goes
to STOW that they had devoted, true,
never tiring mother that always kept a
strict watch over them. And tell
YOU. dear parents, just AS true as the
Bible tells us that Our sins will find
us ont, so true is it that our children
speak what we are. May the blessing
Of Heaven descend upon the bcreaved
husband and children and comfort their
broken hearts in these sad hours which
We will all have to experience.

Oar legislature seems to be Il very
delicate body. They are taking hold
Of things very consderatc. This is cx-
nctly right. Things done in Il storm
are never done right There has been
some good bills offered, more than we
can bring to our mind, or even have
time to comment upon. We think the
local option bill gotten up by Mr.. Maui
din, Of GI ccnvillr, solves the liuuor
problem. We don't see why it shouldn't
meet the approval of every friend and
enemy OF the present dispcnsnry law.
It gives every county separate choice
10 say in what way he liquor shah be
dispensed. But If | can understa, d
the bill Alright, the giandcst thing con-
ncctcd with it is, it will keep so much
liquor Legislation out of the hands of

anything more than this, it would Ger
tninly prove blessing to old South
Carolina.
That bill Of Mr. RI. Ii. Evans to util-
izc convict labor in the promotion Of
the health Of the county, is matter of
no Little Importance. Every one we
have heard express himself, speaks
n loud praise Of the bill, and we be-.

passed at this meeting Of the general
assembly, after II reconsideration Of the
