OUR KOLONS.
Both Houses promptly convened in
General Assembly on Tuesday last.
President of the Senate, Lieut ?OV
erno.1 McSweony, and Speaker of the
House Gary,made their little speeches.
The Senate has grown a deal, Dorches
ter, Bamberg, SaUida, Cherokee and
Greenwood, now counties,having Sena
tors. The House stands at the old
number, 124. Tho llouso got down
promptly to work and soon disposed of
the matter on tho calendar coining
down from the last session. The indi
cations aro that it will bo a working
body. A Senator is to be elected but
it is a mere matter of form as Senator
MoLaurln will reoeive tho vote of
overy Democrat. Chiof Justice Mc
Ivor will bo ro elected without opposi
tion. Five Judges aro to be eloetod
Watts, Gary and Klugh without op
position. Benot, of tho First Circuit
is opposed by Bacot , of Charleston, and
ox-Judgo Izlar, of Orangeburg. Benot
will bo ro-eleoted, in all probuballty.
In tho 4th Circuit, Gago, of Chester,
and McDonald, of Fairtiold, aspire to
succeed Judge Withcrspoon, (who do
cllnos re-eleotion) with the chances in
favor of Gage. There is nothing of
the Hanna business in it and all will
go off without any firoworks. These
elections will probably occur today.
Thore aro other minor eleotlons. Our
Lauron? friends aro watching and on
hand. Hero Is a touch of their work1
Mr Goodwin?-To provide the man
ner In which persons may bo exempt
from poll tax or communication road
tax in cortain counties.
Mr. Goodwin?To amend an act en
titled "An act to apportion tho road
fund derived from special county
levy," approved Feb. 1". l^'.M, by add
ing an additional section to be known
as section 5.
A Bill has passed the llouso rodue
ing tho fees of notaries for taking re
nunciation of dower; to authorize
posting of lands to keep off trespassers:
to oxtond tho .ime for paying taxes
(affecting tho present fiscal year): a
bill to lot the public printing to the
lowest bidder. Mi-. Goodwin's bill to
regulato labor on Sundays exolted a
hot debate, but It was finally knocked
In the head In the House. Tho horse
and the cow had to be fed and watered:
the cook might strike, cold dinners
would be cold comfort for distinguished
guests; the boot bluek might turn
fino gontleman. A presentation of
this viow by an eloquent statesman
and the Bill got it whore the pretty
Miss "wears her beads." There is tho
usual bill for separate coaches for
races and a bill further "to protect
doves," and many new measures that
from their titles promise well. A re
solution Is pending to adjourn on the
14th of Fobruary. Senator Ragadalo
proposes amendments to tho constitu
tion?to eloct Circuit and Supreme
Judges.by the people. (This will not
do and will not pass). By the way,
there is a strong push to have notes,
bonds, and credits, on tho assessors
books for taxation. Don't forget
amendments to tho Dispensary Law?
to add a perfume to the rose, and to
paint tho lily: they are there. General
Hagood's death was announced and he
wasoulogizod It Is clear enough that
tho General Assembly will averago
well for common sense, rank high for
mediocrity, with some very clever
mon. "Old Edgeflold" is fretting over
the fact that her Senator resldos in
Greenwood county. She is right?it Is
anomalously ridiculous (But sho can ,
repose upon a pillow of down when she\
recalls that Ben Tlllman and Jas.

* When tho resolution in the House
was proposed to elect a Chief Justice
and Circuit Judges it was amended to
make Circuit Judges read before Chief
justice. This has been construed as a
piece of log-rolling in the interest of
Judge Benet. Should the opposition
be strong to Judge Benet his friends
could take vengeance upon Mc I vor,w ho
as yet is not opposed for Chief Justice.
But such is politics. The House pro
poses for the Attorney General to pre
pare a Dispensary Bill that will head
ofT the Federal Circuit .fudge, Simon
ton. And yet a resolution proposes to
reduce the salary of this oflloer twenty
per cent. This officer now wants a
change of venue ami to go to (Congress,
where U. Samuel pays more than
$5,000. "Citizen" Ashley,of Anderson,

In his messago Governor Ellerbo
states that ho avoided paying interest
to keep things going by over drawing
_the States deposits at tho banks. But
those were tho Banks whoro tho groat
deposits of the State aro kept at no In
torost. It was a fair exchange of
oourtesles. It would have boon tough
to have kopr a Judgo, a Solicitor, a
Railroad Commissioner or tho like of
them waiting for tholr small compen
sation. Thoir annual salaries are paid
monthly, don't you know.
Certainly you don't waut to suiter this
dyspepsia, constipation, sick headache, Hal
low skin and loss of appetite. You havo
never tried DeWitt's Little Early Risers
for these complaints or you would have
been cured. They arc small pills hut great
regulators. It. E. Posey, wholesalo and re

Governor Ellorbe transmitted his
annual message to tho Goncral Assem
bly OD tho assembling of that body on
Tuosday last The firtt 6ubj<3et dis
cussed is tho Dispensary as intimated
In our last issue. It Is to tho State an
"old man of the Soa," and apparently
cannot bo shaken from her nock. His
Excellency labors with the monst-r,
but eone'udos as wo gather from much
writing, that under tho present condi
tions wo must still carry him on our
shoulders. A sort of book of lamenta
tions is preached about the Federal
Court, but that Court is probably here
to stay. It is still our experiment?
no other State on tho globe oujoys It?
and we must not make wry faces at
our modlcluo. Tho Governor suggests
to eliminate tho profit feature. Wo
think if that goes, then tho Institution
should go. It might bo kept howovor,
as affording good paying berths for a
largo aggregation of partisan favorites.
This is worthy of consideration. As a
moral Institution it is an utter failure.
Tho Immense business done in liquor
by the Stato consists In tho salo of
tho choapost and meanest liquors
manufactured. Wo aro of tho opinion
that tho consumption of liquors by the
well-to-do classes In tho Stato has
largely decreased; but wo are still of
the opinion that the opening of depots
of cheap intoxicants by tho Stato is a
monstrous temptation to the very poor
of tho State. Tho Governor does not
help us In this predicament. It is but
proper to state that ho did not get us
into it. Tho message In other respects
is devoted to tho institutions and do
partraents of the Stato Government.
Educational matters aro fully and
ably presented. The charitable and
penal institutions aro healthy.
The Stato is a good (armor?the penit
entiary farms sho^ !ng up well. Tho
Governor prosses tho nocossity of
economy and a prompt discharge of
the duty devolving upon tho law-mak
ers. The great phosphato interest,
from which tho State had a big In
come, has gone to the dogs. Thoso are
the prominent car-marks of the oflloial
paper.

CATARRH IS A DISEASE
Which requires a constitutional
remedy. It cannot he cured by lo
cal applications. HnOx.'s Sarsa
parilla is wonderfully successful in
curing catarrh b cause it eradicates
from the blood the scrofulous taints
which cause it. Sufferers with
catarrh find a cure in Hood's Sai
sapaiilla, even after other remedies
utterly fail.
Hood's Pills arc prompt, eili

Indigestive pois.ins are the bane
of the dyspeptic's life. When sick,
see if your sickness is caused by in
dig. stive prisons. If so, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This is
the only certain way of being per
manently cured, because it is the
only way that gets rid of the poi
son. You know that fermented
food is p nsonous. Shaker Diges
tive Cordial clears the stomach of
fermenting food, and purifies the
bl od and system of indigestive
poisons, it cur* s indigestion and
the diseases that come of it. Head
ache, dizziness, nausea, stomach
ache, weakness, flatulence, consti
pation, 1 -as of appetite, irritability,

symptoms, caused by indigestive
poisons,-cured by Shaker Digestive

well known to need much description.
English novels hnvo described it fully,
and the English illustrated papers at
Christmas time give a good idea of tho
festiv ities Every one who has n coun

There is generally a largo house party,

decorated with holly and greens, and

tho evening is given over to amusing
tho children, who play blind man's
