A sad Dispensary StOry-FOrm in
south CaroIina's Courts.


Columbia, S c.. Jan. 24.-The names Of
three doctors of divinity appear in the
panel of jurors drawn for the approach
ing sessions of court in Greenville. The
jury commissioners say the ministers and
editors have had a good deal to say about
the best men Sinking jury duty, so this
year all their names have gone into the
box. While they are exempt by law, the
commissioners say they have the right &c
serve as a personal privilege. The minis
ters have not yet decided what course to
take.
The discussion in the Legislature of the
merits of the dispensary law has brought
to light a remarkable case from the noun
tains of OcOnee. A widow said to be 100
years old was i'll. Whisky was prescribed
by a physician, and her daughter pro-
cured three quarts, and fearing visits from
spies, kept them buried in the garden. But
the constabes were on the track of the
whisky. They found it, arrested the
daughter, charging her with running a
blind tiger, and she was sent to jail for
three months. In the meantime the aged
mother, with no one to care for her, has
died
The South Carolina Legislature and
courts still maintain some of the pictu-
rescue English forms and customs I'M
known in the younger states and long
since discarded by others of the thirteen
Originals"
Even here. however, some of the new
judges are getting lax in their require
ments. and do not insist on all the pomp
and ceremony. The Sheriff still calls at
the Judges hotel escorts him 10 the Court
House, and accompanies him back TO his
lodging place when court takes a recess,
but the old judges required that the es-
cort wear a cooked hat adorned with a
flowing black ostrich plume, and that he
carry d sword at the carry" The small
boys on the streets were edited by this
solemn procession four times day during
court week. The Reform judges elect
ed in the last few years have not encour-
aged this display. At a convention of
judges just held however, Rule was
bar and court officials to appear in black
habits" and making 1t the duty of the
Sheriff to enforce the rule. All the judges
wear flowing black gowns.
The House of Representatives does not
consider itself properly constituted unless
the great mace IS suspended on the face
of the Speakers desk over the heads of
the reporters; and the same holds good
as to the four-foot silver sword in the
Senate. Recently when the sergeant-at-
arms had omitted to hang the mace in the
House. the proceedings were stopped by a
member who called attention to the alb
sence of the emblem and a suspension was
had while the mace was being produced.
On occasions where there are joint assem-
bies, and especially at inaugurations, the
sergeant-at-arms, the one bearing the
mace, the other the sword, head the pro-
cession from the Senate chamber TO the
House of Representatives, the Speaker of
the House and president of the Senate

gowns.

GRAYDON'S BILL AMENDED,
Discussion of the South Caroline
Dispensary Measure.

Columbia, s. c., Jan. 24.-The Graydon
dispensary bill, conceded to be the admin
istration measure, was amended out of its
ate to-day, and it is understood a substi-
tute viii be offered
The provision constituting the Secretary
of State, the Controller General and the
Superintendent of Education, the State
Board of Control was stricken out of the
bill, and it is to be determined who shall
be members of the board, if the bill
passes. 1t was shown in the debate that
it would be doubtful whether these officers
could fill the positions under the constitu
tional provision against the holding of two
offices by one person. In addition, the SEN
ators seemed to think these officers have
already plenty of work to do.
The bill provides the commissioner shall
receive a salary of $1,000 A motion was
made to reduce this to $500, the salary
received by the State Treasurer and other
state officers Senator Joseph w. Barn
well. who will oppose Congressman Elliott
in the next election, fought this amend
ment. While opposed TO the law, he said,
he thought they ought to do the best they
can as long as it is to stand, and he
favored getting good a. man possible.
The man would. have charge of
a million dollar business. AS for
himself. he would not take the
place for $4,000 or 100000 year. The
position was open 20 great temptations
and even if man Is as pure as ice, he is
liable TO be suspected of dishonesty. The
salary of SO, 900 is not too large for a man
who has to occupy the place with its
temptations and responsibilities.
The commissioner was required to give
S75, 600 bond in three surety companies
That alone would tax him $500 year.
In the House a bill was passed after
long debate. requiring in all policies of life
insurance companies, the most liberal OPP
tions now granted by the most liberal
companies.

BRYsoN FoUaD NOT GUILTY.
Alleged Lyncher Acquitted and 9th
err Cases Mol Pressed.


Gainesville, Ga. Jan. 24.-At 10 o'clock
tonight the jury in the case of Thomas L.
Bryson, charged with the shooting of 81
Smith in the Hall county Jail, returned
the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
Thomas L. Bryson, not guilty."
The cases against Mark Bell, Henry
Lowry Charlie Tanner and Ollie Bell. the
other alleged members of the mob, were
mol pressed.
The trial of Bryson came to a close in
Hall Superior Court tonight.
Nothing sensational in the evidence was
brought out to-day, the principal testimony
being that of Marshal Sims of Maysville
who testified that Taylor Hamilton ask
ed him the day of the latter's arrest,
whether or not Detective Looney was a
man of his word, and being replied to in
the affirmative, said that he would come
out 800 ahead by acting the part he was
to play.
The defense brought this out to show
that Hamilton was paid by the detective
to make the confession he gave to the
press, soon after his confinement in the
Atlanta prison, where he was carried for
safe Keeping.
All the testimony being in, arguments
were begun, Col Ia P. Bell opening for
the state, being foHowed by Judge J. B.
Jones for the state. Col. II. H Perry
next spoke for the state Col. Howard
Thompson following him and making the
principal speech for the defense. Solicitor
Carter concluded for the state, making a
powerful plea for Brysons conviction.
Judge Raglan then charged the jury, after
which they retired to agree on a verdict.
The sensation of the day was the Volun-
tary surrender of Mark Bell and Henry
Lowry jointly indicted with Bryson for
81 Smiths murder. They have kept out
of reach of the officers since last August,
when they were indicted.

 But the day came when he met a Polish princess. who was so impressed with his powers that she offered him the sum of 100 francs to play at her house. Unable to indulge in the luxury of a carriage, he walked there, and played-well, as Paderewski only can play.

INSTINCT OF CATS.

The instinct of animals in the mat ter of elf-preservation is curiously il- lustrated by the fact that several dozen cats found refuge during the Ottawa fire in a wooden house which, although the buildings on each side were burned down, refused to catch fire, and remain ed intact.
 Cats have a peculiar gift in this direc- tion, since, in addition to their reputed nine lives, there is a popular supersti- tion that they will only eat what is good for them. This may or may not be a fallacy: but the instinct of self preservation, which is common to all animals, except perhaps horses (who, being very bags of nerves, will during a fire behave with suicidal obstinacy), has been proven time and again.
 The rats which, in practice as we'll as theory, desert the ship which is no longer seaworthy, are a notable ex- ample of it: and there are many animal lovers who would not consider it in any way eXtravagant to suggest that the Quacking of the geese in the capitol was due to a knowledge on their part of the facts that the entry of the enemy would mean the cutting of their throats, while the rousing of the Romans would earn them a debt of gratitude and per petual immunity from the poulterer's shop window.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

present himself to his sovereign upon lis promotion.
 Appearing before the kaiser at his next public reception, he respectfully pronounced the set phrase always used on such occasions:
 Your majesty, I beg to announce myself as colonel of the - regi- ment," naming his new command.
 The emperor looked at him a moment without speaking. Then he said in his sharpest and most incisive tone:
 "The announcement is false.''
 A dead silence followed. There was a sensation among the spectators. who expected to see the unfortunate officer consigned to a dungeon on some terri ble charge. But a minute later the em- peror went on:
 "The announcement is false. I have appointed you colonel of the First Uh- Ian Regiment of the Guard" And then came a hearty laugh at the discom- fiture of the man to whom he had thus given one of the crack companies of the German aImy.-Golden Penny Maga- zine.
