THERE is to be no present relief fro

THERE is to be no present relief from
the remarkable road law that was put
on the statute books last year. The
house passed a very sensible bill leav'
ing the fixing of the Communication
tax and the days of labor within pre-.
scribed limits to the county boards OF
commissioners Of the various counties
This was in order that each county
might make its road law so as to con.
form to the requirements of local con.
ditions. The senate was unwilling tc
leave the age limit to be fixed by coun.
ty boards of commissioners, and the
free conference committee being una
BILE to reach an agreement, the propos.
ed bill fell through, and the old Law
will continue Of force.

A-REPoRT was sent out from Colum.
bia. last Friday night to the effect that
during the closing hours Of the session
Of the general assembly just adjourn
ed, an attempt was made to secure Ger.
tain dispensary legislation that was
proposed by members Of the board OF
control. According to the story the
board tried to. get the Legislation
through the committee on free confer.
ence without proper consideration. The
general assembly, however, caught or
to the attempt and refused to allow the
proposed legislation to be run over
them. The Columbia papers represent
that there is no truth in the story OF
alleged attempts at sharp practice.

LOCAL LACONICS.
Escaped From the Chain gang.

Escaped From the Chain gang.
A Negro named Ely Brown escaped
from the chaingang last Saturday
night. He was serving two-year sem
tence for robbery from the person, and
had been on the gang for year. Dur
ing the past few months ha has been
in very poor health. A. least he made
everybody around him think that was
his condition. For that reason he was
not watched very closely. and he got q
start Of nearly two hours before he
was missed. The dogs were put on i,is
track and they followed him for seven
or eight hours, but failed to run him
to cover. He is still at large.

IT seems to be pretty general con-
viction among the Democrats that If
the Crum case comes to vote in the
senate, the Negro doctor will be con-
frmed as collector of the port Of Char
lesion. The Republican senators are
not very enthusiastic over the appoint
ment Of Crum, but they are not dis
posed to antagonize the president by
voting against confirmation. 1t has
become the policy Of the Democrats,
therefore to prevent vote on the case
by filibustering. 1t Is understood,
however, that the president will reap
point Crum Immediately after the ad-
journment of the senate, and it now
seems to be practically certain that
Charleston will have to put up with a
Negro collector.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The supply business has begun to
open up briskly and all Of the local
supply people are confidently calculat-
ing on more extensive operations this
year than for several years past.
The town council collected fines to
the amount Of $3.50 Monday morning
on account of drunk and disorderly
conduct Saturday. One man was ar
rested three times Saturday and re-
quirsd to put up IS each time. he
showed up Monday morning and Mayor
Willis let him Off with $3.50.
The Bedford Phone company is just
getting straight again from the effects
Of the recent windstorm. The fall
ing of the brick wall on the mass Of
wires entering the central office made
terrible tangle that was Strengthened
out. only after a week Of hard work.
The linemen are now repairing the
damage to the wires in the country.
Several of the country lines suffered
severely.
- The Carolina and North Western
Railroad company is considerably em-
barrassed for side track facilities In
Yorkville because it Is not allowed to
cross East Liberty street with addi-
tional rails. The company needs two
tracks across the street instead OF one.
It would seem that the matter might
be arranged between the railroad COM
pany apd town council without preju-
dicing the convenience and safety Of
the public.
Mr.. c. F. Gordon found the purse
he advertised in THE ENQUIRER as lost
recently: A Negro man picked 1t up
ON the street, and showed it to Mr..
walter Rose. who had seen the adver-
tisement In the paper. Some time ago
Mr.. Gordon advertised lost revolver
In The ENQUIRER, and the weapon was
returned to him the next day. He Is
very correctly and properly of opinion
that the best way to recover any lost
article is to advertise 1t in THE EN-
ouIRER. X

Kershaw special Of Saturday. to the
Columbia State: The business men of
Kershaw as a rule are very patient
with public carriers. but their patience
has been worn to the frazzle stage by
the service they get from the South
ern Railway company. It was hoped
that the Southern would give this Sec
ton of the country better service than
they had been getting from the old
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
Railroad company; when this :: road
changed hands but instead OF. better
service under the present management
the service now is simply abominable.
Cars actually, have to- stand on side
tracks on this line anywhere from six
to ten days after having been loaded
for shipment. The engines used by the
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
were bad enough, but the Southern has
taken them OF and put on old worn
out rattletraps that are continually
breaking down and are unfit to pull
more than eight or ten cars at a time
and make anything like a decent
speed. The freight trains usually run
from five to eight hours late and the
consequences are that freight Is con-.
gested and every one who has a con-
siderable quantity Of stun to be han
died by the road IL always kept guess
ing as to when they can expect to have
their freight moved. The passenger
trains run from two to four hours late
and the travel generally has put up
with this state Of affairs until they
have become thoroughly Disguised at
the way the people are treated who
have to depend on this road for trans
portation. The business men and gen
Peral public think 1t is time that the rail-
[road commissioners should take this,
matter up with the railroad people. and,
try to get for this section at least ias
good service as we have had heretofore.
.It is now up to- the railroad commits
sioners. -

the discomfort and rOut OF the pears,
but they have not lost heart and they
continue to struggle valiantly. The
clashing forces consist on the one side
Of New England manufacturers and
dealers, assisted by strong pool Of
New Orleans cotton merchants. These
represent the bulls on the market. On
the other are numerous veteran mer-
chants in this city and Boston men
whose opinions have been the dominat-
ing forces in the cotton markets for
many years past. The Napoleon OF the
cotton bulls Of the present campaign Is
a man, comparatively new to the cot
ton trade. He took up the leadership
Of the struggle just at time when the
recognized leader Of the bull forces
stepped aside and announced that the
apogee Of the cotton market had been
reached" Even his enemies, the bears,
admit that he has perfect command
over the markets Of the day in this city
and in New Orleans and Liverpool.
This Napoleon Of cotton is Daniel j.
Sully. He is a member Of the New
York Cotton Exchange and makes his
headquarters in this city at the office
of S. N. Wedd & Co., through which
firm practically all Of his transactions
are cleared. Since spot cotton touched 10
cents a pound, and the prices for cotton
for delivery in March and May have
bordered on that figure, numerous re-
ports have been circulated telling Of
the profits Of the bulls. Some of these
reports, which are given credence In
well-informed circles, state that the
New England clique, with which Mr..
Sully is associated, has cleared approx

DID, NOT TAKE HIS SEAT.
The Chicago Claimant Arrested Near
the White House.

The Hon. George A. Lear" who claims
to have been elected independent member
of Congress from Chicago by over one mil
Ion majority, did not take his seat in the
House today as he expected to. Capt. J. s.
Megrew of the Capitol police force said
this forenoon that Lear had been arrested
while providing about the White House by
Detective Redfern Of the Capitol force.
Capt Megrew. who had arranged for Lear's
reception, had he not been arrested. re-
ceived the following letter from him Sat
urday:
Dear sir: I am in the city and will be
on hand next Monday to take my seat in
the House of Representatives.. I Was elect
ed Independent congressman FROM Chicago
by over 1,0OO,OOO majority on reform Chris
tan ticket. Dowie and his host was with
me. l give you dew notice of my coming
Hon. GEO. A. LEAR, NJ. c."
An odd character who has been present at
every opening of Congress for the past ten
years was on hand again today. His name
is Reese and he halls from New York, and
is known to the Capitol employees as 1.-The
little statue man." This appellation was
given him owing to his habit of talking to
the statues of distinguished Americans in
Statuary Hall. The Capitol police say
Reese is harmless and as he does not annoy
any one in the building they have no oc-
casion to arrest him. This morning he first
paid his regards to the marble representa-
ton Of Fulton, the steamboat inventor,
with CHEEKY Good Morning, Robert Still
at work on your steamboat, 1 see." He
then passed around to the other statues,
addressing pleasant word or two to each.
Venerable Hiram E. Moore of Mercer
county, w. Va, who is ninety-four years
Of age and was never witness of the pro-
ceedings Of Congress, was an interested
spectator in the House gallery of the OPEN
ing today. The old gentleman was accom-
panied by his son, who appeared almost as
venerable as the father.
Owing to the large number Of visitors who
have attempted to ascend to the Capitol
dome by means Of the spiral iron stairway
in the House document room, which opens
into Statuary Hall, 1t was found necessary
to place a large placard at the entrance Of
the stairs which reads. MOT to DOME" The
steps in question lead to the upper apart
ments of the document room.

OPPOSES RESTRICTION.
Citizen Says Commissioners Should Not
Prohibit Use Of Gasoline,

George c. Rick of 2O12 street northwest,
has written the Commissioners protesting
against the adoption Of any regulations
which will prohibit the use Of gasoline. Mr.
Rick argues that the Commissioners have
no legal authority to prevent the use by any
person of any article dn his business or
household.
The writer states that he Is in the clean
ing business. and he says that it is only by
the use of gasoline that silks, delicate fab
RIGS and gloves can be cleaned without their
color changing. He says he has used gaso-
line for cleaning and cooking purposes for
thirty-five years and has found 1t a safe ar.
ticle when properly used. He says this reg
ulation proposed would cause great hard
ship upon thousands who use gasoline. He
denies the truth of the statement that gaso-
line Is more dangerous than dynamite, and
declares that the fire insurance companies
are asking for the regulation, not the per-
sons who use or need gasoline
