Another Legislative Error.

Another ,erious legislative error
has just been brought to light. A
constitutional amendment is TO be
submitted to the people on the ques-
tion of biennial sessions. No pro-
vision, says the Columbia Record,
was made in the act to pay for the
printing of tickets to vote on that
issue, but no one is authorized to
have them printed. AS shown in
our local columns yesterday similar
slipshod Legislation characterized the
amendment as to township bonds,
and Attorney General Gunter had
the tickets printed on his personal
guarantee of payment. The Legis-
lature at the next session passed the
necessary appropriation as they were
in duty bound to do. This biennial
session question is not one to be
voted on in the primary, but in the
general election, and it is to be hoped
that the Secretary OF State or some
other authorized official will find
some way to have those tickets
printed. 1t is question of too great
Importance to the State to be allowed
to fall through by reason of careless
ness of Legislators. We say scare
lessness," but so many occurrences of
somewhat similar character have
happened in reference to important
matters, that sometimes we are
forced most reluctantly to think that
the carelessness was not always un-
intentional.

An Excellent Safe.

Naturally, since the Toronto and
Baltimore fires, statesmen of fire proof
safes have been working over time.
During the week two safe statesmen,
representing different firms, called
simultaneously on local business
man. The first salesman said
"To demonstrate the quality of
our safes, it is the custom to put a
cat in one of them, to lock it, build
great fire around it and leave it in
the flames twenty four hours. At the
end of that time we open the safe
and the cat leaps out unharmed."
"Wonderful," said the merchant,
"Wonderful! !"
The second salesman spoke up:
"We once put cat in safe Of
ours and kept it surrounded with fire
for week. AT the end of the week
what condition do you suppose the
cat was in ?''
"Dead," said the merchant.
eyes, Dead" said the salesman.
"But do you know how it died ?''
"No, how ?'

This Countess Served as Spy.

Milan, August G--An examination of
the private papers left behind by
Countess Della Tore, who was assassi-
mated by an American in this city some
time ago, proves that she for some time
had been in the service of the mikado as
spy.
When it became evident that war
with Russia was unavoidable the countess
was sent to Port Arthur, where she soon
won tho love of high Russian officer,
who was son of the Governor of ST.
Petersburg.
Well supplied with money she soon
gathered all the officers of the garrisons
around her, and her balls and dinner
parties were the most sumptuous ever
seen even in that gay city, and there was
no military secret which she did not
undertake to discover.
In this way the japanese war depart
ment was informed of everything which
happened in the fortress, and no one
suspcioned that the beautiful woman
received $3.50 from Japan for every word
of the long cipher dispatches which she
almost daily sent to Toxic via China.
Immediately before the harbor of Port
Arthur was bottled up she left the city
and returned to Italy with 2 comfortable
fortune, only to be murdered at the hand
of an allan American, who killed her
in fit of jealous rage because she who
had known him in former years declared
that her love for him was dead.

A Continual Strain.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears and
distresses them both mel tally and physi-
cally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils of constipation,
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vital

Local Option or Dispensary.

The dispensary law in South Caro-
lima will not be settled until it is set
tied right. The system ought to be
destroyed root and branch. 1t has
brought great reproach upon the
State and it has not cultivated or
promoted the spirit of temperance
in our people. On the contrary, the
success of the establishment is
judged, not by its prohibitory effects,
but by the volume of it's sales and
the revenues of the State from this
business.
AT the last session of the Legisla-
ture an effort was made by Senator
Brice, of York county, to give the
people of each community the right
to vote in the dspensary or to vote
out the dispensary, as in the exercise
of their best judgment, might be
deemed best for the community.
The Brice bill was passed with
amendments that destroyed its value,
and it is hoped that at the coming
primary election the candidates for
the Legislature will be voted for or
voted against according to their posi-
tion on this question.
The democratic way of deciding
the dispensary issue is the way pro-
vided in the Brice bill. AS the
Newberry Observer remarks "Lo-
cal option is democratic. 1t is un-
democratic to force dispensary on
county or community against its
wishes. 1t is undemocratic to
attach any penalties to local
option that would deter peop'e
from exercising their choice in the
matter" News and Courier.

For The Candidates.

The last Legislature put on the statute
books some laws that the people should
oe enlightened upon and | call upon the
candidates forthat honorable position To
perform that servics.
First, an au endInent to the cOnstitu.
ton TO have biennial sessions instead of
annual sessions of the Legislature, is to
6r voted ON at tbe general election in
November. This is an important matter
aud concerns every taxpayer in the
State, and if adopted will save at least
S50.OO0 every other year. This matter
should be explained and the people fully
Informed so that they may know how To-
vote intelligently
Another amendment proposed to the
constitution Is To give the Legislature
the right to enact "local or special laws
c,ncernDg the laying out, opening, al
tering or working roads Sor highways,
and concerning the providing for the age
at h;ch citizens should be subject to
road duty and concerning drainage"
This proposed amendment is equally IL
not more impo tant to the people than
the other and should have the earnest
thought of the candidates.
Another act of the Legislature which
should be ventilated is that one which
provides for the establishing and re-
moval of dispensaries. This act pro-
vides that dispensaries can he estab.
lisbed in any county 10y majority of the
votes and can be removed in the same
way, but it provides that if the people
vote 1t out a tax of one-half mill, annu.
ally shall be levied on all the taxable
property of the county for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of the en-
forcement of the disuensary law in such
coun'y. Every candidate for the Legis-
latnre should clearly define his position
with reference to this law, and call
upon each one to say on the stump whe-
ther he is in favor of it or not.
If the biennial sessions amendment is
adpoted then the next Legislature should
farther amend the constitution by maxi
ing the term of all officers four years
and have elections every four years
The candidates should express them
selves on this subject also.-A Voter in
