IHEMONROU VOTING CONTEST TO CLOSE f--Jr R. F. BEASLEY. ( p G. U. UEASLEV.rlUt,,e,i- Tuesday. January 22. I W7. la Honor of General Lee. IasI Saturday was the one hun dredth anniversary of the birth of General Robert E. le. The day was celebrated at a great many different places in the country, especially throughout the South. Two of the memorial exercise were particularly noteworthy: one at Washington and Iiee University at I-eington. Va., of which General I was president after the war; the other at Washing ton city, by the Southern and Con federate s iettes of the District Columbia. At this meeting F.s-Svc retary of the Xavy HerU'rt preside and many distinguished guests weie present. A letter from President Roosevelt was read, full of warm praise of the great character of Gen eral I-ee, whom he pronounces tin greatest captain that F.nglish speak ing people have produced. At the Lexington celebration the chief speaker was Mr. Charles Franci Adams, a distinguished citicn Massachusetts. The military genius of 'enera! l.ee and the sublime character of the man are grow ing together in the mind the world. The names of Iee and Jackson will unquestionably outlive all the others engaged in the mighty struggle between the States. The religious fervor of both, their moral graudeur, coupled with their un rivalled soldiership, the tragic death of Jackson, the post Mlum life o I.ee, the tragedy of the losing causr all combine to single these two out for posterity's latest adulation - these from the South, Lincoln from the North.

The Journal made mention last week of the bill of Representative T. W. Hickett a Union county "boy' who is representing Franklin county in the General Assembly this year, which bill is designed to curtail the evil of lobbying by making ail lob byists register their names and tin names of the parties employing them In his speech on the bill Mr. Hickett said: "The purpose of this bill is clearlv set forth in its title. Its underlying principle is that in all matters per taining to the public there shall be publicity. It simply provides that when a man is paid to mtluence leg islation he shall make that fact known, and shall not pose More the General Assembly as a public spirit ed citizen or a 'disinterested states man.' "The bill in no way reflects upon the honorable man who is employ ed to represent any interest, and makes known the character and capacity in which he approaches a member or a committee. It is intended to put out of commission and send to the rear that smooth and smiling gentleman, that self-appointed guardian of the State, or of the 'interests of the partv who haunts the lobbies and corridors of the capitol with 'Pro liouo publico' on his lips and'K pluribus iinum' in his pockets. "The bill does not deny or abridge the right to talk. All men, press, pulpit, everybody, everywhere, can talk and freely express their opin ions. The fox may bark, the wolf sing his cvenr.g song, the lion roar, and the ass bray, but the bill re quires that each shall do so in his own proper skin." Nothing needs to be added to this The House did well to pass the bill at once. We know of no objection to Repre sentative Price's bill to have cotton weighers in this county elected by the people. While there has been more or less demand for such, we have never seen any reason to call it forth, for the magistrates, commis sioners and town aldermen have doubtless done fully as well as the whole people can do. They certainly have in no way abused their power, and the well established custom of keeping no man in ollice longer than two seasons, certainly precludes any suggestion of unbecoming influences! upon the electorate. Mill, there is no objection that we know of to the change; we have had good weighers as a rule and will doubtless continue to have about the same grade. brought forward in the KeviNil and.wde in their nomeon JUn -n :r justified the change of venue in the j receiving wounds fr m l.hh h.- d case from Anson to Inion county, the trial of the sixteen men in dicted for the lynching of J.

It will be remembered that short ly after the lynching of Johnson, (overnor t.lenn called a special term for I'nion county to convene, Judge Shaw presiding. The latter ruled that the change of venue was unconstitutional, and that "lynch ing" under which the indictments were brought, had not been carried forward from the Code into the Re visal in an effective manner. In over-ruling the decision of Judge haw quashing the bill m the case of Zeke lewis which, pending the continuance of the cases against the other defendants, was made the test, the Superior Court negatived tlie victorv ot the iletendants, so as to leave them to le tried under thr "Ivnehing" act and in other than in their ow n countv !.! f -r tl.: 1 :u' ' o ! !:... sue .'

Keziah of Stout departed this life January 4th, 1907, aged 30 years, 1 month and 5 davs. He mined the Methodist church when out a boy, but moved to Georgia and did not call for a certificate of mem bership; but a short time before he died the writer talked to him about his prospect for a better world. He said he was prepared to go but want ed to be restored back into the church. Our beloved pastor, Rev. M. II. Iloyle, came to see him and told him he could not receive him formally until Sunday, January 6th, but for him to rest easy and consider himself a member of our church. He leaves two brothers, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn their loss, but we feel assured that their loss is his eternal gain. lire. Keziah had that dread disease consumption, but today we feel assured that be is free from pain and is over there on that beautiful shore beckoning to brothers, ais'eri and friends to come and enjoy eternal happiness. Let us get ready. A Fiiind. Antl-Dlspensry Oovernor, but the Legislature Doubtful. Martin F. Ansel was inaugurated (overnor of South Carolina last Tuesday in the presence of a largi audience gathered from every sec turn 01 the State. The inauguration of (lovernor Ansel makes a new era in the his tory of South Carolina politics, in that he is the first chief executive in 15 years who has essayed to op pose the State dispensary system, which was enacted 15 years ago un der the leadership of Governor B. II. Tilman, and which has since been the leading issue in State politics. (overnor Ansel was elected on an anti-dispensary platform, which car ries with it the abolition of the State dispensary system, leaving the question to the counties to de cide for themselves as between coun ty dispensaries and prohibition. 1 be House will probably pass a bill of this kind, but it is doubtful whether the Senate will, ant at present it looks as if the light will have to be gone over again in the next campaign.

Last night Make Smith and h; son, Charles, were ant. -.fed neai Star, on a charge ul iniudeiing Milton Runnel, some days ago. Some suspected these parties lioin the beginning, but yoterday the tirst clue leaked out when Charles Smith, seventeen -years old. ex hibited some gold to a boy at I'.is coe, and on being u.-ked where he got it, said : "About an.

Young Smith struck the deceased in the back of the head with nn axe, knocking him to the ground, and struck him twice more after he had fallen.
