Officious Interference.

The bill for closing up the dis
pensaries of this and other coun-
ties that voted out legalized liquor
selling land seemingly voted In
blind tigers last summer, passed
the Legislature and unless some
bubble comes up that is not ap-
pareut just now, the fourteen
thousand dollars held up by the
officious interference of the State
dispensary winding-up commission
will soon be paid over to the
towns and county, which will
stop the expense that has been
eating up the money ever since
the dispensaries were closed. We
understand that during all this time
the county dispensary board and
their clerk have been drawing
their full pay right along, al
though they have had everything
in shape to turn over and were
ready to step down and out ever
since the stock ard fixtures were
closed out. The money is in the
banks drawing no interest, we
are Informed, while the towns and
the county, to whcm it right
fully belongs, are "broke" and have
to borrow money and, of course,
pay interest on il.
No one can blame the county
hoard in the matter, as they
would have long since turned ovel
the money but for the meddle
some "butting in of that wind
ing-up commission, which seem
to be wound up to run perpet-
uaily.

The Legislature, after all, failed
to enact the bill requiring the
promoters of new counties to bear
the expense of survey, electlon' ct
cetera. Senator Appelt;s bill passed
the Senate and Representative
Ayers bill, which was practical
" the same, went through the
House without opposition. Yet,
somehow, amid the rush and con,
fpsion of the last week, the bill
got lost in the shuffle. This bill,
which it seems to us was very
e2uitable measure, would no doubt
have saved The taxpayers OF this
county considerable future expense
Already we are saddled with q
debt of over $1,000 for the Rut'
ledge effort, and now, we under
stand. our Olanta friends are ac'
tively at work launching theil
new county boom, which if perse-
yered in will mean another tnous'

Song of MaPiOn'S Men.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Our band is few, but true and tried {;
Our leader frank and bold;
The British soldier trembles
When Marion's name is told.
Our fortress is the good greenwood,
Our tent the cypress tree;
We ki.ow the forest round US,
As the seaman knows the sea.
We know is walls of thorny vines,
Its glaf 5 of reedy grass;
Its safe aisd silent islands
Within the dark morasS.
**x
Well knows the fair and friendly m oon
The band that Marion leads
The glittering Of their rifles.
The scampering of their steeds.
'Tis life to guide the fiery barb
Across the moonlight plain;
'Tis life to feel the night wind
That lifts his tossing mane;
A moment in the British camp
a moment and away
Back to the pathless forest,
Before the break of day.
Grave men they are by broad Santee,
Grave men with hoary hairs.
Their hearts are all with Marion,
For Marion are their prayers.
And lovely ladies greet our band
With kindliest welcoming,
With smiles like those of summer,
And tears like those of spring.
For them we wear these trusty arms,
And lay them down no more
Till we have driven the Briton
Forever from our shore.

male attire, but notwithstanding all
the frilis, hounces, rats and switches,
the lack of feminine voice soou be-
traved his disguise.
The evening was spent playing a
few old-fashioned games, among
which was squash the berry. This
is played bv keeping time with mu-
sic (the banjo being used on this occa-
sion) and resembles the old-time Nir-
ginia reel. Mr. J Y McGill took part
in the diversion and captured one of
the prizes. After the participants
unmasked two prizes were awarded,
to the gentleman and the lady whe,
in the opinion of the judges, were
considered most "tackey-like." "Mr }
Wesley Cook kgracefullypresentedM Miss
Lena Miley very pretty little broom
with appropriate remarks concerning
which end of the broom to use ac-
cording to the exigencies Of the oc-
casion. Mr. John McGill was awarded
the other prize, a cofn-coo pipe.
After the prizes were awarded re-
freshments were served.
