The appropriation made for the
rural schools last year has been of
great benefit to many in the State,
and I respectfully recommend an
other and larger appropriation for
the next scholastic year.
A bill will be introduced at this
session of your honorable bodies
looking toward a change in the pres
emit law as to the examinations for
scholarships in the various State in
stitrtions. After consultation with
the representative of said State in
stutions, the bill which will be intro.
duced accords with their views of
the changes which should be made,
and / respectfully recommend that
the said bill, be enacted into law.
Dispensary Law.
In obedience to the last Act of
this General ASSEMBLY, an election
was held on the third Tuesday in
August last in the twenty-one coun-
ties that had county dispensaries at
the date Of such election.
The elections all passed off very
quietly and the people voted in ac-
eordance with their views upon the
question: presented. Fifteen out Of
the twenty-one counties refused to
vote the sale of liquors into said
counties. Six of the counties voting,
to wit: Charleston, Georgetown,
Beaufort, Aiken, Richland and Flor
ence, voted in favor Of the sale Of
liquor, and the county dispensaries
in said six counties have been carry
ing on their business as provided in
the HCarey-Cothran Act" and the
Act HTo Prohibit the Manufacture,
Sale, etc., of Alcoholic Liquors, ETC.,
and to Provide Penalties for Viola.
ton Thereof" approved End Of
March, 1909.
The fifteen counties refusing to
vote in the sale of liquor have dis
posed, or. are disposing Of their
stocks, as provided in the Act stto
Provide for the Closing of the Sever
al Dispensaries in This State and
for the Sale Of All Stock of Liquors,
Beverages, Fixtures and Other Prop
erty Belonging to the Several Dis
pensaries," approved March 2, 1909,
and the business of the dispensaries
will soon be wound up under the
supervision of the Dispensary Audi
tor.
As to ,the di~spensaries in the six
counties which voted in the sale of
liquor, I desire to renew my recon-
mendation made in my annual mes
sagei to the General Assembly in
1908, to wit, "That not more than
one county dispensary be allowed in
any county where liquor is allowed
to be sold, except in those counties
where there are cities with a popula-
ton exceeding twenty-five thou
sand" This is in the interest of
temperance. I firmly believe that if
another election is held in those six
counties in the coming year most of
them win vote the sale of liquor
out. I ask your earnest considera-
ton Of the question Of providing for
another election in these six coun-
ties in the near future.

The Sinking Fund Commission, In

it by the last act of the General As
sembIy has contracted to lease the
old State ~dispensary building in the
city of Columbia for q term of
three years, and the automatic

put In the building IS authorized by
said Act. The rental price is $1,000
per annum, and eight per cent upon
the amount expended ON the i'm

The increase in attendance in the

siding officer of the convention before

He invited Chairman jackson and
the subcommittee ON ARRANGEMENTS for
the convention, to confer with him mt
his office mt the State House. jackson
and Kruger called about p. m. and
were with the governor for more than
half an hour.
jackson said that the committee was

There was other alternative for

O'SHEA 8 O'SHEA LOW
BIDDERS ON SEWERS
Hammond Contractors After
a Mammoth Job in La
porte at Present.

OShea & Shea of Hammond were
low bidders on a big sewer construc-
ton job at Laporte this week. The
Argus Bulletin says:
-Four bids were opened in the coun-
ell chamber last night in the matter
of the trunk sewer system to be built
in Laporte this summer. Two of these
bids exceed the estimate of City En-
gineer Burns. s135000 and hence are
out of the running. Those bids which
come within the mark We're presented
by Independent Construction company
of Terre Haute and OShea & Shea of
Hammond. On the trunks proper, ex-
cepting the manholes, the catch basins
and the incidental excavating, the tab
ulated bids are published in today's is
sue. 1t is to be seen from this list
that the bid of the Independent Con-
struction company figures at s132,-
s302S; the bid of O'Shea & Shea, the
Hammond firm, at s129,S33.90; an ap-
proximate difference of $4,000. In the
neighborhood of $4,000 must be added
to each bid to cover the cost of man
holes, catch basins, house connections
and excavation. With this addition,
both bids come under the $4,000 mark
II is difficult to estimate the cost of
excavation, but 1t is believed that s2.-
600 is a safe shot for all expenses 9TH
1T is very likely that the council
will accept the bid of either the Ham
mond or the Terre Haute concern"

Partly cloudy, fair tomorrow, with
variable winds. The prediction is of
little value to the average person, as
he has lost faith in the government
meteorological observations, but the
appearance of the sun means muth, and
it is expected that at last the weather
is to moderate and spring will return
again.
week or two after the weather be-
comes warm again the full extent of
the crop loss will be known. 1t has
been reported that it viii not be as bad
as was first expected. and the farmers
