Feminine Resource.

Mr.. D. went to the club leaving
Mrs. D. with a lady friend whose
abilities as a scandalmonger and
mischief maker were pre-eminent
When he returned he just poked his
head into the drawing room and said
with sigh Of relief, "that old cat s
gone, I suppose?"
For an instant there was a pro-
found silence, for as he uttered the
last word he encountered the stony
stare of the lady who had been in has
mind. Then his wife came to the
rescue.
"Oh, yes, dear,'' she said. ~

Manv More Bills To Come.

In addition to the large number OF
bills already introduced. the en-
crossing department is crowded with
new bills, and they will continue to
pour into both branches of the gen
cral assembly for Il number Of days
yet.
The Prohibition Bill.
The prohibition bill has not yet
been introduced, but it may come
during this week, and the fight for
Statewide prohibition will be on.
The Asylum Matter.
1t is probable that the report Of
the joint legislative committee ap-
pointed at the last session of the
general assembly to investigate the
State hospital for the insane will be
submitted to-day or tomorrow. The
consideration Of this matter will in
all probability take up a consider
able amount Of time.
The report of the asylum commit
tee was submitted at the session to-
day. They recommend an increase
in the amount for maintenance OF
$4,000. They also recommend for
improvements to the plant an appro-
priationof $4,000, until a new plant
can be installed.
They recommend an issue Of one
million dollars in bonds for the
building Of two separate institutions,
one for white patients and one for
colored ones. IF bond issue is voted
then present fund is to be turned
over to sinking fund commission for
sale. An appropriation Of $4,000
is made for the drawing Of plans and
specifications.
The report is sensational in that
they find that the conditions are
such that changes are needed.

It's Final Report to Governor IN

State S453, ,464.
Columbia, January 19.-The COM
mission appointed by Governor An
sci under an Act Of the Legislature
to wind up the affairs Of the odd
State dispensary has drafted its f.
nal report to the Governor, and is
now in the hands Of the printer, and
Will be laid on the desks of the mem
bers of the Legislature in few days.
The report is an exceedingly inter-
esting one, and the commission has
apparently made a fine business
showing. The total net money re-
suit is $453,464.56, of which $685.
900 has been paid into the State
treasury, sSO,S52.SO is on hand in
cash, $22,631.76 due by counties, and
$4,000 is real estate, this being the
summary Of the business from the
time the commission assumed charge
on February 16, 1907, up to January
IL, Of the present year. And more
is to come from overjudgments,
amounting to. over 100000.
The commission has realized grand
total receipts Of $974,586.55, Of
which $56,936.36 is interest earned
BY deposits of funds in the banks
over the State at 4 per cent. The
total amount paid out was $685.

over to the State Treasurer. On
merchandise account a gross profit
Of $12,024.86 is shown, while on
capital account Of 100000 there is
a net loss Of only $4,189.76.
The supply account shows net
loss of $33, ,286.42, (which loss is ac-
counted for in running the dispen-
sary several months, using these
supplies in supplying the various
dispensaries for goods sold to them. -
The "conscience money" received
from old creditors, who had no ae-
counts on the books,' amounted to
800, "the attorneys receiving so
per cent. commission on all they
could recover on claims Of this
kind"
The litigation in th, Federal
courts was costly, the report says,
but this was charged against the
whiskey houses and the commission
"considers that this litigation has
cost the State practically nothing"

to support all weight, and neither too
