HOW DIsPENsARY WAS BORN.
1t Came Into the World in the Early
Dawn of a December Day, Four
teen Years Ago.
News and Courie,..

Nc"S ana SOuIIcf. ....
= Columbia, February 9.-In the Sen
ate chamber this morning when the
Carey-Cothran bill passed its second
reading by a vote of 21 to 49, killing
the state dispensary, not one Of the
senators in the chamber was sur
vivor of those who passed the bill on
its second reading creating the insti-
tuition at 6.20 o'clock on the morning
of December %, 1892. The present
clerk of the senate, Gen. HemphilI,
was the senator from Abbeville at
the time, and he, with one or two re-
porters Zone of them the writer) saw
The legislative birth and what seems
to be the death Of the great moral in
stitutiOn.
The senate had been in session
through the long night, having assem-
bled Wednesday afternoon. 1t was un-
dcrstood that Senator John Gary
Evans's dispensary bill had been
agreed upon in caucus of the reform
senators and was to be hurled through
prohibition bill, which had passed the
house by an overwhc Inning majority
before Saturday the day fixed for ad-
journment, but the seven "Conserva-
tive" senators and one or two reform
ers had determined to fight stubborn
ly against it.
Senator Smythe, of Charleston, was
in charge Of their forces, seconded by
Senator Buist and Senator John II.
Sloan, Of Richland.
Mr.. Buist began to speak soon af-
ter midnight aud was still speaking at
4 o'clock. Numerous motions and roll
calls had been had and finally, long
after days dawn and when the morn
ing newspapers were on the streets
the opposition surrendered and the
bill was voted upon.
The eight opposing votes were:
Senators d. e. Finley, of York, now
congressman; Senator A. II. Will
liams, of Williamsburg; Senators
Buist and Smythe, of Charleston;
Walter Hazard, of Georgetown; w.
j. Verlier, of Beaufort; j. 7 Sloan,
of Richland, and Hawkins K. Jen-
kins, of Berkeley. Senator j. w.
Moore, of Hampton, voted against the
bill but was not present at this par
ticular roll call. The first two NAM
ed, Finley and Williams, were Gre
formers' Their counties have voted
out the dispensary under the Brice
law, and Senator Finley's successor,
Senator Brice, was the author of that
measure, the first body blow that the
state system has received.
Senator Blease, who may be called
the ldader of the state dispensary
forces in the senate now, was men,
Der of the house when the original
bill was passed.

It was at spiritualists' meeting,
and the medium was nettled because
one old fellow in the rear Of the hall
persisted in doing throughout the lee

Determined to frighten him into
wakefulness the medium stepped from
the platform, walked quickly to the
nodding man, touched him lightly on
the shoulder and said, in scpulchral

"I shall order up the spirit now!"

Child Cynics.

Boston Herald.
a London writer exclaims at think
ing "there is really nothing to ac-
count for the extraordinary critical
mood which the modern child has de-
velopcd in regard to toyland." The
modern child will simply not make
believe. Little boys and girls alike
become sticklcrs for the "correct
thing,' and if the build Of a steam
ship or a motor car, the cut of a
doll's frock or the mysteries the eye
does not usually see are not "just
like the real thing there is trouble.
1t is said that toymakers have even
now to employ scientific experts and
French milliners if they hope to pass
the critical eyes Of the "new child" "
The fact is the new child
is born cynic and sated little
darling. 1t has no emotions, no de-
sires save to destroy and belived
and breathed for by necessary par
ents.

Mr.. Rosebery has had a wide experience

ing present eastern financial conditions.
To a News men. Mr.. Rosebery said:
Mr.. vanderlip. president of the Fourth

doubtedly nailed a fact, when in a re-

association. he stated that the real un-
derlying cause Of the present world

destroyed in the prosecution of the Boer
and Russo-Japanese wars, together with
the losses entailed in the destruction OF
San Francisco. Four billion dollars IL
the approximate sum named which was
taken from the worlds supply Of liquid
capital and utterly destroyed In these
wars and through the earthquake.
Prosperity has for the past three or
four years Influenced an unprecedented

an unsuspected number millions OF casn

through such a period Of financial stress

without causing any important business

trinsic ~oundness of business conditions.
That the mining stock market has
stood all Of these assaults as well as It
has. should be cause for con~gratulation
on the part Of every mining man. If
production is maintained and increased,
II stability is established in the labor
situation, II q few wild-catters are

no boom. but she will see an era of
solid prosperity better and more lasting
boom.
The Righteousness Of President
Roosevelt's attitude toward corporations
Is well illustrated by the present strike
of the telegraph operators. / am no be-
lever in strikes except as a last resort.
Here Is a case. however. which illus

has been watered time and again. To

1t is necessary to practice every mean
