Eight or nine bundled hills
have beeu introduced and the end
is not yet nor is it in sight.
The House is now down to bard
work. Much time at first had to bo
appropriated for the maiden iff oris
of the new members at oratory.
Every member has a pet measure
with a flighty flight speech attached.
Senator Hough is quite rosy
and well. It is said of Senator
Hough that he and Governor
Sheppard are the only two men
in South Carolina "who can strut
sitting down." Senator Hougu
has other decided qualities.
The bill to change the charter
of the South Carolina College to
that of a University was defeated.
1 think the friends of the South
Carolina Col lego men defeated
their own meusure by antagonizing
the friends of the other State
Colleges.
By a vote of 50 to 65 the
Hoilsn nns>s.wl llu> liill t<? limit *lir?
fertilizer inspection tax eoing to
Clemson College to not over
teventy-five thousand dollars and
any amount above this to go to
Winthrop College. This tax
amounted to over one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars the
past year. 1 voted for the measure.
The Immigration and Commerse
Bureau is now under fire.
Josh Ashley of Anderson introduced
a bill to repeal this bureau.
I am going to vote against the bill
to repeal this measure. The Immigration
and commerce bureau is
a magnificent opporunity to advertise
our splendid resources. The
discussion on this measure has
produced much demagogue

The all important issue now hefore
us is tbo bill to establish
Calhoun county. The bill covers
a slice from the counties of Edgefield,
Greenwood and Abbeville.
The judiciary commilto of the
House and the committe of privileges
and elections of the Sen 4te
heard the measure presented and
reported unfavorably on tho bill.
The Compulsory Education bill
passed the Senate by a vote of 21
to 17 and is now on the calendar
of tllfi HrmaP I urn (Ti-iincr t<i v/ita

against compulsory education for
these reasons. It einterfers with
the natural rights of the parents,
the lack of proper school houses
and sufficient money to pay teachers,
the stumbling block of a
* nigger" and it would bo impossible
to enforce it. Nothing would
suit the nigger better than to
force him to go to school. In
the venracular of Josh Ashley,
"I'm agin it."
The ten hour iabor bill. This
measure proposes to reduce the
cotton mill labor day from eleven
hours to ten hours. I have had
no demand for this legislation and
it strikes me that it in effect reduces
the wages of the operatives
and in the absence of any com
plaiDt from the Lancaster Cottou
Mill operatives I shall oppose the
bill.

scheme to rob Peter to pay Pau
Not a cent was going directly t
the schools from the state trea
ury. It would not help tb
poor school to get buildings, f<
which the county school fun
was to bo robbed. On the coi
trary, it would allow the ric
districts to build at the expeni
of the poorer districts, whic
would not able to raise the $30(

Mr. Foster, of Lancaster, d

which left the matter with tb
county boards. The bill we

He thought the county boarc
could be relied upon to establia
the buildings where they ai
needed and should be placed.
Mr. Hemphill, of Chestei

Mr. John C. Sellers spoke fc

Mr. Pollock objected uolee
there was an amendment thn
would give those districts tha
