him honesty, but the man not en-

not honest if he rode on pass. He

It is Now Up to Ansel.


Columbia, February 1.-The senate
resolution placing in the hands of the
governor the matter of removing the
dispenSary board and of inStituting
prosecutions was read in the house
tonight. DR.. Wyche said that he,
as state dispensary supporter, en-
dorsed the resolution. tie thought
this was Il fraud on the state and
those responsible should be punished,
and he, for one. wanted the fraud
fully investigated and punished.
There was no discussion on the
resolution and ii was agreed to with
out dissent. The resolution will now
be sent to Governor AnScl in due
time.
During the morning there was a
rum"r that the an,i-dispenSary fore
es would hold up the resolution, for
fear that The suggested removals and
prosecutions might he used as n

Arabs, the Lex Talionis is as much en-

they adhere when convenient, but
among themselves they devise every
possible excuse for not fulfilling en-
gagements with the giaour.
On the other hand, they are extreme,

told showing how Moorish judges mete
out justice to their own people to the
