County Dispensers
Not To Be Elected.
House Decides to Keep the Mats
ter Out of Primaries-
There Must be No
Cock Fighting.

Columbia, Jan. "a Special
The first debate of the session
took place in the House today.
1t was on Mr.. Holman's bill to
permit counties to nominate in the
primaries the dispensers and coun-
ty boards of control. 1t was de-
clded that some counties want to
do this and are olbidden by the
Democratic party. 1t was urged
in opposition that there are sew
eral dispensers in some counties
and it would not he right for the
entire county to vote on a purely
neighborhood official. The bill
was killed by vote of rs to "a,
Mr.. Baker Of the Charleston
delegation opposed the bill on the
ground that 1t would result in gen,
eral decentralization. Mr.. Devore
of Edgefeld, made a significant
remark when he SAID that the dis
pensary is already in politics, to
the armpits. He favored letting
the people vote on these officers.
Mr.. II. Y. Williams favored the
bill. The State board of control,
he said, has been trying to run
the whole State. He charged on
good authority that the State dis
pensary authorities have been
sending liquor throughout the
State to influence elections and
this lquor has been sent through
the county boards who were ap
pointed by the State board. He
declared that this is a disgraceful
state Of affairs and he believes it
can be remedied hy changing the
method of electing the county dis
ponsary officials.
A bill was passed which prohi
bits cock fighting any ywhere in the
state. Under the present law these
fights are prohibited within three
miles of a church or school house.

Past and the Present.
Columbia Record.

Columbia Record.
In his very interesting remarks
last night at the memorial exer-
cises in honor of the late Chief
Justice McIver, Judge Hudson
spoke of him as young lawyer,
and related an incident that was
not only intensely interesting, but
was an example of a condition
then existing which must be soon
followed by those of the present
generation if we are to live IN
peace and enjoy the protection of
law. Judge Hudson said that as
a yeurg man he arrived in the
town of Marion to take charge of
school. As be entered on the
public square he saw an immense
crowd gathered around callows
on which sat white man. He
learned that this man was wealthy,
of good standing and family, and
one who had been an influential
citizen. He had been convicted
of killing negro-a slave not
outright, as the Judge said, but
bv series of continuous crueltles
inflicted for months. This man
was that day hanged. The Incl
dent was related to show the great
powers Of the then young lawyer
as a prosecuting attorney. After
relating the incident, the Judge
closed with this statement: "rhat
man was hung that day for, may
it please your honors, in tho SC
days the majesty of the law was
upheld" That was not. the time
or the place to contrast the diff
ference between those times and
these, but The peculiar emphasis
with which the venerable indpe
uttered the sentence was striking,
and his tone and manner spoke
volumes.

some time during the day Satar-

and few hours later returned

and in many other ways made
themselves obnoxious. A body
of citizens assembled into posse
and stan ted to arrest the dlstur-
bers. When the two parties came
in conflict, George Talbert, a lea
der of the young men, drew his
gun and attempted TO shoot the
leader of the posse. This he did
not do, his gun only swapping.
The leader at once fired and
wounded Talbert in the arm. The
