for the use of whiskey as beverage.
Ministers of the gospel may procure
a quart of wine each month for

Prior to the passage of the Du-
Rant bill numerous amendment were
offered in substitution. Last Friday
night. the Bonham amendment,
which was an emasculated form of
the bill by Senator z Reece Williams
of Lancaster, had been substituted.
This provided for quart of whiskey
each month, to be obtained on a per-
mith from the county Clerk of Court.
Senator E C Epps of Williamsburg
and Senator R D Epps Of Sumter
offered a bone dry" amendment in
substitution of the Bonham amend
ment Monday night when the pro-
hibition issue first came up for dis
cussion. When this had been tabled
by avote of 29 to IL. numerous
other amendments were offered to
the Bonham amendment. When
this had been somewhat modified as
to minor details, the Bonham amend
ment was then indefinitely postpon-
ed by a vote of % to Is, but not
until Senator Hughes of Union had
made another fruitless effort to
have it amended so as to provide for
the monthly allotment of 4S pints of
beer. With the DuRant bill thus
shorn Of amendments, it was pass

between Governor Bamberger and a
special committee. composed of r. w.
Young, Edward Southwick ana Mrs.
Grace Stratton-Airey, was held this
morning to consider the status OF
house bill No. (the prohibition bill)
and to decide on a proper method OF
correcting and clearing the record on
the measure.
1t will be remembered that the bill
was recalled to the house for pro-
posed amendment, which was not
passed, and the measure remained as
first passed and signed by the COVER
nor. In order to forestau any misun-
derstanding regarding the record OF
the bill in the future. 1T was decided
TO introduce a resolution at the after

ure and leave standing the original
entry of its passage by both houses

Mrs. Alex Fife, entering late, pro-

After more short and fiery speeches
of protest by ]. B. Bott Mrs. Geiger,
Mrs. Walters, Mrs. Eisenberg, Seth
Thomas and others, one of the protes-
tants ended the main debate in an ap-
peal for the majority rule, quoting
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and
others, eulogizing the common people
as the saviors of the nation. The
common people are always willing to
go ahead" he said.
You folks are uncommon people,
retorted the mayor, very uncommon,
indeed, all OF you, and six months from
now, after this paving is laid, you will
all be tickled to death TO have it. You
could not be induced to go back to
present conditions. That's test which
I'll guarantee.
The mayor then described Oxford,
Mass, an unprogTessive town, and
Worcester, a neighbor town, unDro-

The property owners who attended
the meeting today were fighting mad

frankness. They are stirred TO the
