The House is now down to hard j
work. Much time at tirst had to lie :.
appropriated for the maiden titer's t
of the new members at oratory.
Every member has a pet measure
with a llightr llight speech attach- j
Od. |
Senator Hough is quite rosy {
and well. It is said of Senator <
Hough that he and Governor
Shoppard are the only two men ^
in South Carolina "who can strut
a
sitting down." Senator Hotigu ^
has other decided qualities.
The bill to change tho charter ^
of the South Carolina College to
0
that of a University was defeated.
1 think the friends of the South
Carolina College men defeated
their own measuro by untagonlzing
the friends of the other State
Colleges.
By a vote of 50 to 05 tho
House passed the hill to limit the
fertilizer inspection tax going to ^
ioventy-iive thousand dollars ami
i'liv 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.
fi
The lmmigi ation and Conunerso
Bureau is no w under tiro, t
Josh Ashley of Anderson introduced
n bill to repeal this bureau. I
I am going to vote against the bill tl
to repeal this measure. The 1m- tl
migration and commerce bureau is g
a magnificent opporunity to ad- n
vertise our splendid resources. The
discussion on this measure has e<
produced much demagogue tl
talk. s<
The "yallcr dog" has come up E
for solution and is warmly cussed tl
and discussed pro and con. 1 am u
inclined to curtail the cur. P
The all important issue now he- ^
fore us is the bill to establish H
Calhoun county. The bill covers

field, Greenwood and Abboville. ?
The judiciary conunitto of the w
Ilou80 und the committo of privileges
and elections of tho Sen tte
heard the measure presented and
reported unfavorably on tho bill. 1(
w
The Compulsory Education bill
passed the Senate by a vote of 21
4o 17 and is now on tho calendar
of the House. I am going to vote
against compulsory education for ^
these reasons. It einterfers with
Q(
the natural rights of tho parents,
the lack of proper school houses ^
and sufficient money to pay teachors,
the stumbling block of a
4 nigger" and it would be imposBible
to enforce it. Nothing would ^
suit the nigger better than to
force him to go to school. In
tho vonracular of Josh Ashley,
"I'm agin it."
Tho ten hour labor bill. This
measure proposes to reduce the
cotton mill labor day from eleven W(
hours to ten hours. I have had be
no demand for this legislation and aD
it strikos me that it in efTeet re- f0

House With Amendment.
Jolumbia Record.
In the house this morning the
irst matter for discussion was
Ir.J Richards' bill to encourage
he erection of school buildings, j
Mr. Jjalutto defended the bill, j;
'he bill sets aside 5 per cent, of
lie county dispensary fund, and
lie district raising $300 is to be
iven $100 from the dispensary 1
loney to put up a building.
Mr. Laney vigorously attackd
the bill on the grouud that <
aero was nothing in it?a I
3heme to rob Peter to pay Paul. 1
fot a cent was going directly to ?
le schools from the state treas- I
ry. It would not help the ?
oor school to get buildings, for <
Ouch the county school fund |
fas to bo robbed. On the con- <
'ary, it would allow the rich I
istricts to build at the expense '
f the poorer districts, which 1
ould not able to raise the $300. 1
Mr. Veruer spoke along the <
ime line. t
Mr. Foster, of Lancaster, di- i
icted attention to tho provision 1
Inch left the matter with the t
>unty boards. The bill was >
at obligatory on any county, t
e thought the couuty boards [
iuli be relied upon to establish f
le buildings where they are t
leded and should be placed.
Mr. Hemphill, of Chester,
vored the bill, directing atution
to tho provision which
,ys part of the fund remaining

Mr. Johu C. Sellers spoke for v
e bill, a9 did Mr. Lomax. t
Mr. Pollock objected unless r
ere was an amendment that h
ould give those districts that 0
id issued bonds for buildings ai
i annual amount equal to one-1 C)
urth of the interest on the j
?nds. There had been a great
any districts which htd so
>no down in their jeans the
tst several years. Mr. Pollock w
ought the bill as it stood would R
ork an injustice against those *
stricts that had already shoul- A
tred a debt that would last
Horn* twenty years. ? I
Messrs Richard* and Brantley
opposed tbo amendment, which
they looked upon as a death
thrust at the bill. Mr. Brantley
proposed to make tho suhScrip
tion amount $200 instead of
'$300 !
Mr. Etheredge, of Lexington,
opposed the bill in the intv/est
of tho poor districts.
Mr. Laney wanted to attend
by making tho subscription
amount $100 and the amount to
come from the dispensary fuhd
$50.
By a yea and tiav vote of 87
to 22 the house refused to strike
out the enacting words.
Mr. Banxs' amendment to
make tho subscription amount
$30 (iiri the county amount $10
were both rejected.
By a division vote of 54 to 37 1
the house ndopted^Mr. Laney's
amendment.
Mr. Pollock's fti Bllilmnnt ??<> '

lost.
Mr. Cloy's amendment to forbid
any building going up under
this act within five miles of (
another school building was
snowed under and Mr. Cloy
facially considered the joke on
him.
Mr. Richards iooked upon i
.Mr. Lyon's amendment to except-the
district levying a special
tax from coutributiug to the
fuud as an attempt in a different
form to accomplish wbnt Mr.
Pollock failed to do. The,amendment
was killed.
The bill was then passed as
amended so as to reduce the
amount to be raised in the ditrict
to $100 and that to come
from the county board $50.

Judge Gage refused an application
for ball in the case o# ,ue
five met who are cenfined in the I
Betkley county jail on the charge j
of iynching the negro, Kit Bookhard,
at Eitawville last year, and 1
his action in the matter will be
approved, we are sure, bv the
better sentiment of the entire
state. it has been found, by a

ioioiui *ui vuy ihll'iy, inai tno negro
was killed in Orangeburg
siunty, instead of Berkley county,
aid the trill of those charged 1
with this hor. ible crime will be '
aeld in Orangeburg instead of
Berkeley. This is the case in j
which Governoriley ward behaved
>o splendidly, and we are glad to (
loto the fact that the courts are
lolding up his hands, and that
he law will take its proper course J
with being affected by technicaliies
