THE OPPOSITION OF Mr.. BLEASE.-
Senator Blease last Tuesday night Of
fered the following reasons for his OPP
position to the Carey Cothran bill.
81 voted against the bill, No. 2SS,
providing for local option: First. Be
cause l am a firm believer In the
state dispensary system for the sale OF
liquor, and am Of the opinion that II 1t
were not for political purposes that
the system would not be fought as has
been done in the past and Is now being
done.
Second. Because I do not believe
that the people of South Carolina are
in favor of such a system as this bill
will give them.
Third. Because I believe that the
system provided for in this bill will
prove a curse to the state and will
finally lead to a system Of license
which will be no improvement upon the
old bar room system. and possibly
prove more injurious to the young peo-
pie of the state.
Fourth. Because I believe that the
whisky dealers will control the county
dispensaries and step by step gain con-
troll of county politics, and thereby
elect majority Of the members Of the
general assembly in favor Of license
system to the individual for the sale
Of whisky. and / am of the opinion
that there are those engaged in the
Massage Of this bill that have that end
in view. and If 1t were not for their be-
lief that such condition can be reach
ed in this wav that they would stand
by the state dispensary system.

THE average layman finds 1t difficult
to reconcile the idea Of the governor
being served with any kind of pro-
cess to show cause why he should obey
the instructions of the general assem-
bly, OF course, both the general as
sembly and the governor are bound to
obey the constitution and 1t is the
business of the supreme court to inter-
pref that instrument; but still this
case looks little funny

STILL welded TO ONE IDoL.-The
fslature has defeated the proposed
marriage license bill. The action was
in Difference to a sentiment and not to
common sense. South Carolina has
been getting along somehow without
this license and the legislature simply
refused to modify an ancient custom
although the public welfare required It..
When a bad habit becomes so strong
to people that they come to regard 1t
as a virtue there is no help for them.
Still South Carolina Is about to be
rid of the dispensary and that Is prob
ably about as much reform as should
be reasonably expected at one session.

PROTECTION FoR THE PossUM.-The
house last night had q little fun with
Mr.. Woods bill to regulate the hunt
ing of opossums, raccoons and minks.
Mr.. Woods humorous speech on the
subject in which he said newspapers
had no right to criticise his action,
put the house in an uproar but Speak
er Whaley managed to quell the disor-
der despite the crowded galleries. The
bill says:
Section 1. That from and after the
passage Of this act 1t shall be unlaw-
full to take. kill or worry any opossum
raccoon, otter or mink between the 18th
day OF April and the 18th day of Sep
tember in any year. by any means
whatsoever.
Sec. 2. That 1t shall be unlawful to
catch, take, kill or worry any Of the
animals mentioned in this act at any
time by any means whatsoever, except
with dogs or guns.
Sec. g. The violation of this act
shall be a misdemeanor punishable by
fine Of not exceeding 500 or impris-
onment not exceeding 80 days"
One member wanted to amend by in
serting "Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit
and by notifying Joel Chandler Harris
Of the passage Of the bill. Mr.. Dixon
said tadpoles and bullfrogs should be
exempted also. Mr.. Kershaw begged
the house to take the bill seriously and
on his motion 1t was ordered to a
third reading although 1t had had an
unfavOrable report.

CHINESE FAMINE NEEDS.-Private
and official cablegrams and letters
from the famine afflicted provinces OF
China agree in the statement that con-
ditionS grow constantly worse. Consul
Haynes, at Nankin, says the famine Is
ten times more serious than any SINH
lar happening within forty years: that
the authorities are unable to cope with
the situation. and that aid from Amer
lea will be greatly appreciated. To feed
those now starving requires something
like S20000 a day. and there is great
danger of epidemic, while a still more
fearful possibility exists of a desper-
ate uprising. From Dr. H. NJ. Woods,
Of the Southern Presbyterian mission
at Hwaiainfu comes the statement that
there are at Tsingkiang- pu more than
500. .0OD famishing refugees huddled in
mat sheds. and parents are seen daily
offering their children for sale at from
50 to 81 each. Funds are going for
ward from this country as rapidly as
puSSible: but there never was a time
when QuickneSs added more to the
potential value of giving. Remittances
should he made to DR.. S. H. Chester.

WHY COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not fol- moment
imagine that colds are not dangerous;
Everyone kno vs. that pneumonia and
chronic catarrh have their origin in com
mon cold. Consumption is not caused by
cold but the cold prepares the system
for the reception ond development OF the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment 1t is the same with all
infectious diseases Diphtheria, scarlet
fever measles and whooping cough are
much more likely to be contracted when
the child has cold. You will see from
this that more real danger turks in cold
than in any other of the common ailments.
The easiest and quickest way to cure
cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures ell
fected by this preparation have made it q
staple article of trade over large part Of
the world. For sale at Bradshaw's Phar
macy.
