Feb. i' The violent churning, which, the Mor gan iocar option out received in - f ti day night's more or lesa Violent and riotous session, of the House has left the en tire, dispensary legislative situ ation, in a rather confused state even in the minds. of a majority. of the members ,of the House Itself. In tha first place Mr,- Morgan had .changed his bill in 'many particulars," offering tne. cnanges in the form of a substl tute, which of course assumed' the parlimentary rights and privileges Of an ' amendment itself. ;Then v there were a lontr series of amendments to this amendment by Mr. Sanders, of Spartanburg, and the Charleston dele gation had. up a long, substitute amendment for '" section 87 - giving Charleston a -high license system; At tempts were made to amend ' the amendments to the amendment, which were of course out of order. Between times' there are efforts, some success- mi- ana some unsuccessful, , to amend other sections of tha substitute. While all this was going on, Mr. Rocker, of Anderson; was watchinsr for a chance for a flank movement with his bill pro viding ror - eounty , 'Oispen&ariea or county prohibition through ' elections to re Held next Mey m all the counties.
