Yon will excuse us from quoting
agsa fromRev. Sam Jones, but when
~hesya good thing we had as .soon
tieomilhi as any one else. He
ts "President Roberts, of the
ennslvaia,(railroad) gave a good
anwer .to the hotels and merchantE
'o Chiago when they asked the rail
roadirto give a lower:rate than thie one

something.: The disposition -to have

To getthe profits is a part of the pro.
gam handed down from generation
to generation since tbe fail of poor old
Adam."
-Now there Is just lots of truth in the
above. We always want the othei
fellow to do something, but when it
somesto a divide of the profits, or th'
honors, we always want to be counted
in. There is just a little bit too much
of that sort of thing among a greal
many people.

- rads and legislatures. He says up
there where the railroads are fat and
-sleek the legislatures "can afford to
regulate and make their divide, but in
Georgia we must keep off of our rail
roads until trafflc increases, and wealth
Is aecumulated by them. A country
is never more prosperoua than its rail
roads, and after all, what would Penn
sylvania or Georgia be without their
railroads? Let the Legislature of
Georgia tackle the Dog star or the
aurora borealis, and let She railroads
-alone,at least until some ofthem-can get
out.of the hands of a receiver. These
law makers make many laws that are
fatherless, or are like the little girl (the
child of a ~traveling man) who was
playing with a kitten; she said, 'Kitty,
Kitty, I do love you; you are so sweet:
-and Kitty, I know your mama. Old
Passyi?syour mama, and I love Old
fussy; but Kitty, I never saw youi
papa. I speck your papa is a traveling
man.' So many of the bills intro
duced by the average legislator, the
best thatecan be said of them is tha1
Stheir papa is atraveling man."
What Mr. Jones says of Georgia
may be said with equal force about
South Carolina. We believe nearly
every road in .the State is now in the
hands of a receiver and none are mak
ing any money, and yet our legislatorn
seem beset on squeezing them stifl
na.-#re*. Well, the bill has passed, and
no doubt it will involve the State in
-till mir3' ltigation. The appropria
tion bill this year has an Item of $2,500
for lawyera'feesir the railroad-css,
and we do not say it is too much but
It might have been saved.

A Careful Review of the Work Done-In

Name of Reform -Hard Words
Used-No-Salaries Reduced
And the State to Engage in

Great. is Reform.
[Correspondeniee The-Rerald and News.]
CoLUMBIA, S.-C. Dee. 26--I vncvei
faae,frely translatedinto ourown verna
cular,_means that a drunken man will
speak the truth. And so last Friday
night one of the"boys"who was taking
hisChristmas in advance spoke only
the literal truth When he said that the
term "Reform Party," as applied
to the dominant element in this State,
was a misnomer, and that tney should
be dubbed the "ruination Party."
It is a sad truth that the General
Assembly. which has justfinished its
first session has certainly exhibited
most -destructive tendencies, and has
not "reformed worth a cent.
There is the "salary reduction bill"
gone where the woodbine-twineth, the
whangdoodleroreath and the campaign
howler rejoices for his first born, is the
answer that echoes through the now
empty corridors of the State House.
Where is prohibition-killed in the
house of its friends and a travesty
substituted for it, is the reply that is
sadly heard as the tread of departing
feet dies atray in the distance.
And where, oh, where is the much
talked of "reduction of taxation?" It
comes in the shape of an increased
levy for State purposes, and our over
burdended taxpayers,, many of whom
find. it hard work to dodge the sheriff,
will pay, for the year 1893, one mill
-more to the State than they did in 1892.
"Reform," as defined by the majority
of the S,ate - Legislature, consists in
harassing the; great corporations by
vexatious and arbitrary legislation,
and in destroying the liquor business
in the hands of individuals and mak
ing the State the.vender of intoxicants.
Truly the mountain has- labored and
brought forth a very, very small
mouse.
But :ci bono What is done is done
and& it only remains for rne to
oheromiele briefly the leadingen s of
the closing week of the session.
Theweekopenied with a battle royalon
-'rohibition' ih theSenate. The '-Evans
dipnoy bMu1 was taken up as an
mendmentto the"Roper-Nettles bill",
and inthis.shape was forced throughia
second reading. 'The minority, under
the skilled leadership of that able and
accomplshed'parliamentarian, Senator
Smythe, of Charleston-ably seconded
bf* his colleague, Senator Bust, and by
Senator Sloan, of Richland, and others
-made an all night fight of it, and
attacked the bill with eloqjuence and
logici that could not be answered.
But it was all in vain. The fiat had
gone forth, and the royal command
was obeyed.
In speaking againist the Evansamiend
ment Senktor Smythe said he could
not~- see how the prohibitionist whc
bases his opinion on moral grounds
could vote for a bill to. transfer the
traffic from one channel to another. It
was not right to embark the State in
such speculation. The cry of this
Legislature is, Down with monopoly.
Yet this is a monopoly of the worst
kind. We are all going in as partners
to sell liquor. It is paternalism. Here
we are creating a little army of governs
ment employees. By this bill we send
the State of South .Carolina into the
market to buy liquor on credit.
Senator Buist made a three-hour
-speech discussing almost everything~
under the sun. Several Senators rose
to points of order, asking that the
Senator be allowed to speak sitting
down, and inquiring if a member
could be regarded as present when he
was asleep.
The amendment. passed Its third
reading in the Senate Friday night at
8.30 o'clock and then the fight was
transferred to the House. There, as in
the Senate, the antis- madeastubborn
but fruitless fight.
The speech of Mr. Sullivan, of Char
leston, against the amendment was
very funny. He said that it reminded
him of the Black Code. It was filled
with nothing but persecution and
punishment. Under it you had to he
a villain or an angel. If you looked at
a bottle unsealed you were a villian. 1:
you buy one from the State sealed, yor
are an angel. Under it liquor could
only be purchased in bottles. He hoped
the Legislature would not compel. bim
to carry his drink around in his pocket.
Citizen Josh Ashley made a char
acteristic speech against the bill. He
had come pledged for prohibition, but
if anybody would show him any pro
hibition he would eat it. The amend
ment was .twenty-eight sections long.
He was no lawyer but he knew that
b courts would decide in ten minutes
tft no such lengthy amendmet could
e made on the spur of the minute.
here was no prohibititionin it. Under
it you could not-only buy liquor, but
thNy compelled you to buy a whole
bottle in order to get any.
Mr. Thomas, of Columbia, gave the
most forcible argument against the
passage of the amendment. He said
that on account of its great length it
was practically a new bill and it had
not been read three times in the House
as was required of all bills bay thle Con
stitution. The bill had not been printed,
thus preventing all opportunity to con
sider it. The bill did not relate to but
one sibject and that subject was not
expressed in the title, as required by
the Constitution.
The arfiendment was passed by a vote
of 57 to 30, as follows:
Yeas-Barry, Breazeale, Buist, Car
penter, Cox, Covington, Dendy, J. T.

Mr. Nettles, the prohibition leader
made the following statement; "I do
Dot favor this bill, but, believiag it tc
eense system, and a long step towards
prohibition--because by taking the
vast amount of capital invested in
liquors the great influence it now has
will be greatly weakened-I vote for it,
hoping that soon we may be able, the
capital of whisky removed, to enact.a
prohibition law, such as the House
bill fcr which this bill was substi
tuted."
About 4 o'clock Saturday morning
there was some consternation when it
was found that the first page of the
bill, containing the enacting words,
was missing from lhe engrossing de
partment where it was being made
ready for ratification. Some members
were quick to cry thief, but the miss
ing page was soon found where it had
been inadvertently left by one of the
clerks who had been copying it.
At 6.30 a. m. the bill was ratified by
the two houses, consisting of about a
dozen Representatives and a score of
Senators. The Governor signed the
act Saturday morning, and it became
a law.
The bill provides that the State shall
take exclusive charge of the liquor
traffic and invest $50,000, to be bor
rowed, in the business.
Within thirty days after the approv
al of the act the Governor shall ap
point a State Commissioner, believed
by him to be an abstainer from intox
icants, who shall purchase all the
liquors that are to be sold. He shall live
in Columbia and hold office for two
years. His salary shall be $1,800 and
he shall have a book-keeper at $1,200
and such other assistants as the Board
of Control may deem necessary.
There shall be a State Board of Con
trol, consisting of the Governor, Comp
troller General and Attorney General,
who shall make rules and regulations
to govern the sale of liquor by the
Commissioner.
County dispensaries are' then to be
established for the sale of liquor under
certain conditions. They shall beunder
the control of county boards. There
shall b., only one dispenser in each
county and he shall be appointed by
the county board of control by appli
cation. Ten dispensers are allowed in
Charleston and three in Columbia.
There are stringent provisions to
prevent persons selling or even having
in their possession any liquor not pur
chased -from a dispersary. A dispen
ser shall not sell less than one-half
pint or more, than five gallons
to any person at any one time.
Stringent rules are prescribed for the
obtaining of liquor from a dispen,ser,
such as the signing of a- plper
that the person is so many years
old, lives at such and such a place, that
be is not a minor and that he is not in
the habit of using liquor to excess.
The act is to take effect July 1, 1893,
and liquor licenses now ine force will
be continued t. that time upon pay
ment of one-third theannual license fee.
The State Commissioner is allowed
to charge a profit of fifty per cent, on
all liquors sold, for the . benefit of the
State.
On Thursday Messrs. J. A. Sligh, of
Newberry-H. R. Thomas, of Sumtier,
and D. P. Duncan, of Union, were
elected railroad commissioners.
Col. Duncan and Mr. Thomas are
members of the old board. The elec
tion of Mr. Duncan was a surprise, a.
it was thought that Yeldell, of Edge
field, Walter, oT Orangeburg, or Stan
land, of Berkeley, would get the third
place. The election of Messrs. Sligb
and Thomas was a forgone conclusion
and they got in on the first ballot. Mr.
Yeldell's defeat was due to the fac]
that the members had come to the b
lief that Edgefield had gotten enouj
of the political pap. Otherwise itis .
lieved that the Governor's lieutenani
would have been elected.
All the members are prommnent
Alliancemen, and the result abiowi
that the Alliance is still' a power in the
land.
M A TBOAD MEN IN POLITICS.
yNpipos of the'new railroad law i
will be interesting to note the attitude
of the railroad em ployes of the State
toward it. Last Thursday night the3
held a meeting in this city, at whici
some 400 men were present from differ
ent parts of the State. Nearly all ol
them had. been Tillmanitas and sup.
orters of the present administra
tion. They made red hotspeeches and
decided to invite all laboring men t<
join in organizing' "The Industrial
Union:of South Carolina." A commit.
tee was appointed to meet later and
draft a constitution and by-laws, aftei
which the union will be organized tc
fight the administration.
Resolutions were adopted condem
ning the Wilson railroad law as inimi
cal to all railroad corporations ii
South Carolina, affecting .more es
pecially the working men, and declar
ing tbat there is a general dispositior
on the part of the present administra
tion to work injury to the industrial
pursuits of South .Carolina, which ii
turn affects the employers and em
ployes alike, and, if persisted in, meani
ruin to the State. The law is de
nounced as class legislation and intend
ed.more particularly to injure the rail
roads.
The bill to provide for the forfeiture
of the charter of any corporation char
tered under the Jaws of this State
whenever such corporation shall refuse
to pay the taxes as assessed is anothei
obnoxious ad min istration measure thal
passed the House and would have gone
through the Senate, bad it not beet
for the fact ihat it did not come up t<
a third reading until five hours before
the time that tueLegislature adjourned,
Even then sons~ of the administratiot
men tried to put it through, but mios1
of the S.enator. were tired .nd gladi3
welcomed a moi'ti.e to co za .ne all the
bills that were still ou th e calenda:
until nex t s;sion.
It was admitted on the floor of the
House that the nii was mainly aimne
at the railroads, being intended to pre
vent them from appeating to the Fed
eral courts. The bill was so manifestl3
tyrannical that several reformers ex
pressed themselves against it.
One of the big features of the sessiox
is the increase of the State tax lev3
from four and a half mills to five and
a half.
The manner in which it was raised
i one of the curiosities of the Legisla
ture. The House was strongly in favo:
of a five-mill levy and it was stated by
the ways and means committee and
the chairman of the finance committee
that it would be sufficient to meet the
expenses, and at first every proposition
from the Senate to increase it was
voted down, but during the closing
hours of the session, the Senate still in
sisting on the increase, the House
either had to recede from its position
or prepare a new supply bill, and this
would have involved five days more
legislation.
The result was a back down on the
part of the Houase, notwithstanding
the strenuous protests of Josh Ashley,
Cole. Blease an?d others. Citizen Josh
offered to stay the additional time
without y v, but in this be had nc
bakers. He also said that the extra
t:ime would cost only $5,000, while the
additional half mill on the taxes of the
people would amount to $84,000.
Mr. Blease made an earnest protest
against agreeing to the amendment,
sayig that he for one could not disre
gard the pledges of retrenchment and
reform that be made on the stump.
During the House debate on the dis
pensary bill there there was.an excit
ing incident. Representative Perry,
of Greenville;, said that it appeared tc
Ihim that there was a deal between
brewery men and the prohibitionista
Mr.Netls,of Clarendon, asked if
Ihe meant to connect him with any
Mr. Perry's reply was: I ain't going
to take that back.
"Then the gentleman lies" shouted
Mr. Nettles.
"And you tell a d-n lie, you scoun
drel" answered Mr. Perry.
There was a hurried rush of severa

Speaker vigorously pounded for order.
Two members rose and said that the
dignity of the House had been violated,
and the Speaker replied that he had
done all he could and that it remained
for the House to do what it chose to.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Perry apolo
gized to the House for the unparlia
mentary language he had used, and
after the debate Mr. Nettles followed
suit. Neither of the gentlemen apolo
gized to the other.
Charleston rejoices in her narrow
escape from what has been called the
"Dennis iniquity," a bill to change the
boundary li ies of Berkeley so as t
take in a portion of Charleston and
give Charleston a part of Berkeley, and
to change the county seat of Berkeley
from Mt. Pleasant to a more central
part of the county.
The Charleston delegation made a
hard fight against this, but were badly
defeated in the House. There were
loud lamentations which are now
changed into shouts of joy on account
of the bill having met the same fate in
the Senate as the charter-forfeiture
bill-continued until next session on
account of being so low down on the
calendar.
The General Assembly was in ses
sion thirty-three days and adjourned
at 7.15 o'clock Saturday morning, hav
i been in session all Friday night.
ut 200 acts were ratified.
It is said that the lie never was
passed between members inside the
hall until this session.
In answer to Senator Buist's ques
tion, "That makes the State practi
cally a liquor dealer?" Senator John
Gary Evans of fiken, answered: "Cer
tainly, there's no use chewing words
about it."
