ed before his committee.

Senator Efrd said that they dis
cussed /; number of propositions as
foundations for compromise, but that
no definite proposition had been
made. He said that some tentative
suggestions might have been made,
but that no direct and authoritative
offer was made. but that in a spirit
of compromise he and others dis
cussed in a general way what might
possibly be done, but that it was pure
ly tentative. He did not in his state
ment to the senate discuss details or
60 into the minute particulars.
Mr.. Whaley says that he was asked
the direct question, eff we Will give
YOU high license for Charleston, will
YOU give in?' He said, no, unless
YOU abolish the state dispensary. The
dispensary has been the foremost IS
sue of the entire legislative session,
and the pity is that something one
way or another could not have been
done.
Two hundred and forty-one acts
and Joint resolutions are the result OF
this years legislation. The approprl-
alton, supply, fertilizer and bunch
of other acts were rushed in at the
last. The engrossing department was

Washington Post.
Our latest press dispatches justify
us in assuming that the Moorish del
egation to the Algeciras conference
are taking the affair very seriously.
When prominent gentleman of
Morocco. such as Sid ell Mokhri is
known to be, charters a whole steam
er for the purpose Of transferring
his harem from Tangiers to the Span
ish town already mentioned, it is safe
to assume that he expects to make a
season Of it. No one can adjust HIM
self to emergencies more completely
than the high caste Moor. He is a
warrior by instinct. he lights like a
Berserker, and he II keep at it till he
is killed or starved to death without
one whimper of complaint But when
it comes to tile capers and the junkets
of diplomacy: when he has nothing to
look for but palaver and conspiracy
! that is where the Moorish gentleman
proposes to make himself comfortable
| and to take along all the comforts Of
home.
Thus Sid ell Mokhri-we intend to
call him plain Sid after this-has put
his entire Tangier caboodle on board
of chartered steamer and trans
plant it by night to Spain. He has
not left a wife or mother-in-law or
any other member Of his female reti-
nue. behind. For all we know he may
have added a few more ladies to the
bunch 50 as to be prepared for real
long session at Algeciras. He will es-
tabiish his abode in some impenetra-
bic grove surrounded by high walls.

BOARD OF PARDONS
NAMED BR GOVERNOR
MESSRS. SHAND, HARVEY AND
CLEVELAND APPOINTED.
Three Good Citizens Selected-New
Board Will Go into Office With
in One Month From Ap-
-; pro7al Of the Act.

Governor Hayward Saturday night
announced the appointment Of the
board of pardons provided for in the
act recently passed at the session Of
the general assembly just ended. The
board consists Of Mr.. R. W. Shand,
of Columbia, Mr.. Wilson G. Harvey,
Of Charleston, and Mr. R. Mays
Cleveland, of Greenville.
In selecting the board, Governor
Hayward endeavored to secure three
men of the highest standing and char
acter, who are not actively in politics,
and those who know the three gen
tlemen consider that he has succeeded
in naming such men. MIR. Shand,
who is appointed for the three year
term, is the recently retired presi-
dent of the South Carolina state bar
association and no lawyer in the
state stands higher in the estimation
of the profession and the public at
large. Under the terms Of the act the
resident member Of the board will be
the secretary.
Mr.. Harvey, who is appointed for
two years, is president Of the Enter
prise bank of Charleston and is one
Of the most progressive and popular
young business men of that city. He
has a wide acquaintance throughout
the state.
Mr.. Cleveland. whose home is at
Marietta, in Greenville county, is one
of the most substantial, honorable
and public-spirited men :. in,z South
Carolina. He is one Of the largest
and most successful farmers IN the
up-country and is member Of the !.
state executive committee OF the
Southern Cotton association, in which
organization he has taken a deep and
active interest. Mr.. Cleveland for
merly represented Greenville county
in the general assembly. He gets the
one year term.
The board will go into Office 30
days after the law is signed, which
was done Saturday. The members
are to receive 81 day for their ser
vices while in session and their meet
ines>are limited to 20 days during the
wear. so that for such men as have
been named the work will be one
purely of honor and patriotism. The
governor is empowered to refer to the
board any petitions for pardon upon
which he desires their Recommended
ton but he is not required to do so
and he is not required to follow the
recommendation Of the board IN
granting or refusing pardon. AS
practical matter. it is not likely that
anv governor will in many instances
decline to follow the recommends
tions of the board. as the paroon
problem has become more and mOra
burden upon that official within The
last few years.

A Case Of Bathos.

Bliss Perry, the new occupant OF the
chair Of English at Harvard, said Of

Prof. stIilman Made Il without Milk
or Sugar.
When Prof. Stillman of Sevens in.
stitute gave q dinner to two friends, at
which most of the viands were made
artificially by chemical means, he had
small idea of the furore his efforts
would produce. But he has received
hundreds Of letters asking how differ
ent dishes were produced-so many
that he has not had time to answer
many of them.
The chemical processes which he
employed were some of them simple
and some quite complicated. To make
vanilla ice cream by artificial means,
for instance, the alchemist took some
triple refined cottonseed oil, placed it
in centrifugal machine which revolv-
ed at velocity of 5000 revolutions a
minute. A beautiful emulsion was
thereby produced, which was then
frozen, chemically, of course, The fla
vor was obtained by the addition Of
vanilla, glucin and nitro-benzol. They
say that ice cream composed as above
is sold in many Southern states where
cottonseed oil is more plentiful and
consequently cheaper than milk or
cream. It is far from harmful, tastes
good, and does not melt as quickly as
the genuine ice.

derful Cure by cuticura.
Last year suffered with tremen-
dous itching on my back, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the whole body, and only my face and
hands were free. For four months or
so suffered torrents, and had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until bled.
At night when l went to bed things
got worse, and had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
was as sore as could be, and until
suffered circulating pains. They told
me that I was suffering from eczema.
Then made up my mind that would
use the Cuticura Remedies. I used
them according to instructions, and
very soon indeed I was greatly re-
