expected to have the desired effect
to this end.


From good sources it is learned
that the governor has been much
impressed with the widespread agi-
tation of the subject during the past
few days, and the assurance given
him by prominent business men,
merchants, bankers and cotton fac
tors that it will be impossible to
handle the seasons crop unless the
valued policy law is wiped off the
books. At the same time the gov
ernor is very reluctant TO incur the
expense incident to special session
OF the legislature, and much depends
on the showing made at the csnven-
tlon Wednesday, and the strength of
the resolutions adopted by the body.
Many legislators who have given
study to the subject are urging the
special session, and argue that it will
be far cheaper in the end to spend a
few thousand dollars in salary and
mileage than to allow the farmers
throughout the state to suffer heavy
financial loss in the handling of theil
eron.

ANOTHER DIspENsARY FIGlIr.-
Inc Florence correspondent Of the
News and Courier SAYS that it seems
as it there Is to be another hot fight IN
the State courts over the disp, nsary
law. SOM time ago elections were
held in Scranton and Lake City, two
thriving fowls in williamsburg Coun
~, as to ~Dispensary" or No Dis.
pensary." The election in both places
resulted, by a very close vote, in favor
OF the dispensary. Those who voted
mo %dispensary have secured Mr.. :.
w. e. Ship, of this city, as cousel.
Yesterday Mr.. Ship went to Cheraw
and secured a temporary injunction
from Chief Justice McIver. The in
junction writ is made returnable at the
next meeting of the supreme court,
which will, of course, stop the estab.
lishment of d~ispensaries at Lake CITY
INC Scranton for a time at least. In
his argument before Chief Justice Nc
liver, Mr.. Ship made a strong point
against the %dispensary law, claiming
That 1T Is unconstitutional in that il eX
empted certain counties from the pro-
visi ms of the dispensary law, which is
undoubtedly SPECIAL legislation.
1t appears that in the first act on
this subject, in counties which had pro.
hibltory liquor provisions and in towns
which had adopted "local opt,onn
laws, special provision was made as
follows: Provided, that dispense
ries may lie established in the counties
OF Williamsburg, Plckens and Marion
and at Seneca and other towns now
incorporated IN Oconee County, with.
out such election 'on' compliance
with the other requirements of this
act"
by some means or other in the pro.
vision the OF was changed, proba-
bly, by error in the engrossins depart
ment, in the act of 1896 TO or"
which materially changes the whole
business and removes the section en-
tirely from under the operation of the
law. Just what will be the outcome

he argued that this condition would
be upheld by the United States SUI
preme court.
Senator Aidrich SAID we are called
upon TO do that which has never been
donein South Carolina, to debar a lepit.
innate business corporation from doing
business in the State. Naturally the
question will be asked, what arc the
reasons Tor this? These reasons should
have been set forth by the advocates
ol the measure: but so far no valid rea-
sons have been advanced. AS to the
argument that the price of fertilizers
mas been raised, hasn't the price of
every other commodity been increased?
Is THIS enough to justify this lenisia-
tloh There is no reason for this bill
except unfounded public clamor. Are
we to drive this company out of the
State because it did business here be-
fore Hing its papers-its naturalization
papers, so to speak. The law already
provides a penalty for this crlme-if
crime 1T can be callad. The Legislature
OF South Car lima cannot afford to n
act post facto laws.
The vote on the question of striking
out the enacting words of the bill re.
suited as follows

Pleads Guilty to Arson.

Julian, Neb., was alarmed by a fire
which, on Investigation, was found to
be in the Jones elevator, owned by the
Jones Elevator company of Nebraska
City. The elevator, valued at s., 1000,
and contents, 1000 bushels of wheat
and 200 bushels Of corn, was n total
loss, as was also a Missouri Pacific box
car standing adjacent to the elevator.
II is understood that there was no in
uranc on the elevator or contents.
The fire had its origin in the crimi-
nal carelessness Of a tramp, who is
now under arrest at Julian. 1t is
claimed he was put off Of a night train
at Julian between 1 and 2 o'clock and
went up town and tried to get lodging.
Failing in this he went down to the
railroad again and got kindling and
built a fire inside of the freight car
which stood alongside of the elevator.
The fire had gotten beyond his control
and the elevator vas already begin
ming to burn when discovered. The
tramp escaped to the country, but was
captured and brought back. The iden-
LITIGATION of the man under arrest and
the one who started the fire is thought
to be complete.
Later-The tramp arrested, Charles
Hill, claiming to lhail from Madison,

was helping his wife and three chill
drsn out Of the rig at home, when a
wild steer was seen coming toward the
party at full tilt. The younger boy
was wearing a bright garment, which
was no doubt the occasion Of the ami
malls hostile exhibition.
Mr.. Miller jumped in front o: the in
furiated beast to protect the child,
and in an instant he was knocked
down. The steer showed a disposition
to do it's worst, but as it had not horns
1t could no gore him. The animal did,
however, try to stamp him with its
feet, but he managed to save himself
by good maneuvering. Finally he
grabbed the steer around the neck and
hung on in a determined manner. The
beast at this juncture gave up the fight
and made no further attempt to injure
him. Mr.. Millar came out of the melee
with scarcely a scratch.

LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES
Week Of Hard Fighting In the Trans vaal
by Boers and British.

by Boers and British.
A report received in London from
Lord Kitchener at Pretoria shows last
week to have been the liveliest, with
the heaviest losses on both sides, for
several months past. Lord Kitchener
gives the Boer casualties q total of 69
killed, II wounded, 81 surrendered and
574 taken prisoners. The British cap
tured $50 rifles, one pompom and the
usual grist of munitions and live stock.
The most serious British loss during
the week was the capture of sixty don.
key wagons, conveyed by 100 troops.
At n point thirty miles from Beaufort
West, Cape Colony, the enemy swooped
down on the donkey wagons and cut
up the convoy before assistance ar
rived. They were able to remove only
twelve OF the wagons and burned the
rest.
In this engagement the British lost
two officers and eleven men killed and
n officer and forty-seven wounded,
while the Beers lost twenty-four killed
and forty-seven wounded.
The Beers also rushed a detachment
OF 100 of Colonel Doran's column, the
night Of February 3, when the British
lost three officers and seven men killed.
Won Donop surprised Potgier's Laa-
ger lei Walmarstad, Transvaal colony
