THE Columbia State which, for rea-
sons Of its own, has all along been OPP
posed to the constitutional amendment
providing for biennial sessions of the
general assembly, instead Of annual
sessions, is not disposed to accept the
result even after the people have spok-
en-. In it's issue Of last Saturday 1t
publishes, in evident good faith, a
mares nest editorial, full Of rabbit
eggs. It holds that because Of alleged
bungling on the part of the general
assembly and the ignorance of the peo-
pie with reference to what they were
amendment cannot have the force Of
law at least not until all the work that
has already been done has been done
over again. Constituting the proposed
amendment in connection with other
provisions of the constitution the
State points out with great assurance,
to it's N satisfaction that annual
sessions of the general assembly are
that the sessions will be held every
two years. This will make the ses-
sions fall on even years. Under the
constitution as it now stands, the gov
ernor, state officers and members Of
the legislature are elected in even
years. The elections are required to
be reported to the meetings Of the gen.
eral assembly next ensuing" These
reports now go to sessions held in odd
years. II the proposed amendments, so
the state says, go into effect as they
have been proposed, there can be no
reports of elections for governor and
state officers, ETC., until two years af-
ter the elections have been held. If
this were the way, it would be bad;
but it is hardly the way. The consti-
tuition provides that the general as
sembly itself shall fix the time for the
holding it's meetings after 1906, and
the general assembly may begin
whenever it sees proper, just so 1t does
meet biennially thereafter. That is
our construction Of the situation; but
we will suggest to the State that this
is not all there is to it. In the con-
struction of acts, the supreme court has
q rule by which it seeks to get at the
intent of the general assembly. This
rule is nanifestly proper. and it seems
that it is still more proper as applied
to a matter affecting the expressed
will of the people with regard to an
amendment to the constitution. What
ever the legislature may have done or
intended to do there is certainly no
doubt OF the fact that the people Of
South Carolina intend that that body
shall meet only once every two years

Speaking yesterday about the recent
dispensary election, he said he was
looking for an overwhelming vote
against the dispensary; but he was
not expecting as big majority as was
actually rolled UP. He said that 1t Is
an error to suppose that the dispen-

by default. There was dispensary
money on hand and plenty of 1t
Where 1t came from he does not know;
but certain 1t Is that on Sunday be-
fore the election, men were riding the
county trying to hire people to go out
to the polls on Tuesday and work fol

the opposition to the dispensaries was

cially bitter against the liquor selling
establishments.

In a letter to a law and order meet
ing held in Aiken few days ago, Hon.
ID. s. Henderson credited the institu-
ton of the primary in South Carolina
to the Tillman movement. The News
and Courier takes occasion to remark
that Tilman first appeared in South
Carolina politics with his 'Bennettsville
speech in 1885, and goes on to point
out that the primary had been insti-
tuted in many Of the Piedmont coun-
ties as early as 1880. Most Of the mid
dle-aged readers Of THE ENQUIRER
are able to corroborate the News and
Courier's statement, especially so far as
York county Is concerned. We had
our last nominating convention in
1878, and since then all of our county
officers have been nominated in pri-
maries 1t is true that the primary
was extended as the result of the Till
man movement to the state as a
whole; but it had already been used
to nominate congressman in some or
the districts. Under the rules of the
county Urinary as originally institu-
ted, only a plurality of the votes was
necessary for a nomination. With the
changed conditions instituted by Till
man, the majority plan was adopted.
We are inclined to agree with Mr..
Henderson that the primary plan has
come to stay; but we will not be will
ing to answer for it a great many years
longer unless the right to vote in pri-
maries is restricted to the people who
are qualified to vote in general cleo
tions.

THE WILD HORSE SALE.

The wild horse sale advertised py
Mr.. s. ]. Kimball last week, took place
at Walter L. Jackson's livery stable
yesterday and furnished lots OF inter-
est to people who were seeking horses,
and considerable entertainment to the
people who attended for the sake OF
seeing the fun. =,
It was an auction sale, fair and
square with no by-bidding. Mr.. Fer
guson, professional auctioneer from
Atlanta did the selling, and he helped
TO make the occasion interesting,
creating frequent bursts Of merriment
with his declaration that "Kimball
might lie to you; but I'll swear
won't" He also declared that there
were people in the crowd who did not
know enough to chew after somebody
had put bread in their mouths"
Mr.. Kimball represented his stock as
unbroken; but sired by thoroughbred
stations, and containing all the quail
ties Of first -class horses. He told OF
animals that he had sold on the block
to different people in this county at
from $40 to $50 head, and which are
now held at from SITS to $500. He
warned the crowd that the animals
then being offered were wild; that he
would deliver to the purchasers a rope
with horse at the end Of 1t and that
there his responsibility would cease.
In all twenty-seven head OF horses
and three jennys were offered. The
bidding was quite free, the buyers
showing but slight hesitation In back
ing their Judgment to the limit. The
jennys brought from SIT to S26 each
and the horses brought from about $40
to $3.50, the average being In the
neighborhood Of $50 per head.
After all the horses had been sold
they were turned out in the lot, las
soed one at time, drawn to post,
choked down and haltered. Then they
were delivered over to the purchasers.
The lassoing and choking down pro-
cess was attended with lots Of excite
ment. The horses jumped and reared
regardless of the crowds, and one OF
them smashed against buggy, con-
tanning several spectators and badly
injured one man, Mr.. ]. j. White. AT
first it was reported that his leg was
broken in two places; but 1t afterWard
developed that his injuries were not
so serious. He is badly hurt, now
ever. The animal that hurt him be.
longed to Mr.. w. w. Auten. 1t got
away and is still at large. .
The purchasers Of the horses had
lively times getting their purchases
home. The most common method was
to use two ropes around the neck Of
each animal, with a man at the end OF
each rope. AS the horse would strug-
gle to one side, he would be jerked by
the rope on the opposite side, and thus
held pretty we'll in check. But the
process was slow and tedious, and the
people charged with the task Of get
ting the animals home were no doubt
pretty we'll worn out before they got
through with their tasks.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Of course Mr.. Bales can continue
his marriage office II he sees proper to
do so, and he will SO long as he can
get customers; but the legislature can
fix all this after while by saying who
shall have authority to perform the
marriage ceremony and how.
The first snow Of the season fell last
Sunday morning. There had been
more or less rain during the night, with
gradually filling temperature. The
rain began to change into snow at
about 8 o'clock and the flakes continued
to fall for two hours or more. Be-
cause of the dampness Of the ground,
however, the snow melted almost as
RAPIDLY as II fell. There was a strong
wind Sunday night, and it developed
yesterday that it must have had more
or less connection with terrific storm
that swept the Atlantic coast during
Sunday afternoon and night.

Wonderful things are done for the hui
man body by surgery. Organs are taken
out and scraped and polished and put
back, or they may be removed entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the place OF
diseased sectionse of veins, antiseptic
dressings are applied to wounds, bruises
burns and like injuries before infamma-
tion sets in, which causes them to heal
without matmation and in one-third the
time required by the old treatment.

same principle. It's an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
