Columbia, Feb. 1.-THE House to- day,
without division, passed bill to abolish
the State dispensary and wind up it's
affairs and sell all stock and property in
sub-dispensaries, az we'll as State dispeu-
sary, through commission of five, to be
appointed by the Governor. The present
county boards may purchase from the
commission stocks of goods for the new
order of things.
The House this morning killed the bill
appropriating $85,O00 for new indus
trial school at Florence. The bill pro.
vided that the amount was to be paid
back in five yearly installments. Vote
was so to 43. Friends of the institution
say their only hope now to prevent the
reformatory failing is to provide for it In
the appropriation bill, which appears to
DO q forlorn hope.
The Woman's federation of clubs has
backed the reformatory, securing the
passage last year of a bill establishing
the institution. Getting it started was
the life work of Mrs. Lawrence Orr Pat
terson, one of the federations' presi-
dents, whose death was followed by the
passage of the act by her son, then serv-
ing as member of the Legislature.

was shot and seriously wounded here to-
day by DIR, o. NJ. Long, a physician and
druggist Of Harrisonburg, during an
argument over a tempesance sermon,
preached by the former, Sunday.
In this sermon the minister gave a
challenge for a reply to hts arguments.
The sermon is said to have angered the
physician, who demonstrated with the
minister on the streets Monday. During
the argument Long drew a revolver and
fred, the bullet passing through Mr.. Os-
born's arm and lodging in the back.
Long was arrested and released on
bond, pending the outcome of Mr.. Os-
borne's injuries. He will be given a
hearing in Columbia, the justices of the
peace in the township in which lie re-
sides being disqualified. One of them is
a relative and the other was a witness to
the affair.
No names were mentioned in the ser.
mon, which was a strong denunciation of
the liquor traffic. The minister declares
from his bed that 1e wants to get up and
continue his crusade. and il necessary be
shot again In the cause of temperance.
