The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, February 26, 1902. THE LEGISLATURE. HOUSE?SATURDAY. Both the supply bills were given second reading in the House yesterday. The proposed drainage law was killed as was the bill to require all foreign corporations locating to do business in this Scate to take out charters in tbi3 State. The House also passed the bill to require county boards of education to name the teachers in the county summer schools. jjjTfce House was in session nearly eight hours today and began to get the heavy bills out of the way. There will be many bills to die on the calendar, however, because they cannot be taken up in time. The discussion of 1fce anti trust bill was resumed and it finally passed its third reading. When the third reading bills were disposed of Mr. Webb tried to get up his bill to limit the number of hoars of labor in cotton factories. oAmowhnf. of a stamDede JLHIS uicaicu Dvaivtiwww ? ? . and the House decided not to take up the bill until after the general supply bill could be disposed of. The big supply bill was discussed. On a motion to redt.ce the State levy from 5 to 4f milis, Mr. Efird went through the calculations made by the committee. The taxable property of the State is 8189,000,000. At 5 mills the revenue would be $961,000. Whatever fees might come in additional would be Deeded for the annual appropriations will aggregate $1,022,000. The motion was lost and the bill passed to a third reading Mr. Moses then pressed the legislative supply or appropriation bill, which fixes the per diem and mileage of the general assembly. For the Senators $8,000, if so much be necessary, is appropriated, and S2,380 for the clerks; for doorkeepers, porters, etc, $1,130; contingent fund $900. For the per diem and mileage of the house, if so mach be necessary, - ??? ? > i? Ann r j $2i>,UUU; ior cier^s iui uuuikeepers, laborere, etc., $1,450; contingent fund $2,000. The engrossing department gets $4,500, if so much be necessary, to pay the per diem of the solicitors, clerks, laborers, etc. This makes the total of all items a3 follower Senate, $12,410; house, $30,6T0; engrossing department, $4,500. Grand total $57,580, based on the constitutional limit of 40 days. The night session of the House was taken up in debate on the various measures pending. SENATE. Tn Via Spnftt.fi ? larcre number of O bills received their second and third readings. This was about the work of the Senate. HOUSE?MONDAY. The House took up the bill fo fix the salaries of county officers and > after various amendments the Senate bill was passed. The bill is to take the place of existing laws which are said to be unconstitutional. The following changes which effects this county were: Made under the provision for Sheriff the following was added: "That the Sheriffs of the various counties of this State shall receive annual salaries in lieu of all costs and fees chargeable against the county, as follows/1 etc.: After stating the amount to be paid th6 salary of the Sheriff of each county, the bill provides: "That in addition to the salary hereinabove provided, the Sheriffs of the various counties of the State shall receive 20 cents per day for dieting each prisoner while in his custody, and actual expenses for himself and prisoners and lunatics, when called beyond the county. The salary of the County Commissioners was raised from $250 to $300 each per annum. Township Commissioners were to get $1 per day in the Senate bill, but the House changed this to $2 per day. The salary of the County Superintendent of Education was increased from from $500 to $600. In Lexington, Charleston and Newberry counties special provisions for traveling ex penees were inserted, but were afterwards taken out as it was feared the constitutionality of the bill might be made questionable. The traveling : expense then was included in the : regular salary. Township Assessors are to be paid $2 per day. In reference to County Treasurers provides: "That the County Treas urer in each of the counties of the State shall receive the same salary as that paid to the County Auditor ol such county, the salary of sucb Treasurer to be paid by the State and the county, in the same proportion as that of the County Auditor That m addition to me saiary so pru vided for, each of the County Treas urers of the State shall be entitled tc charge of delinquent taxpayers 5( cents for each tax execution issuec against such delinquent, such fee nol to be charegable against the county. The legislative appropriation bill came up. Mr. Moses wanted to pay the acting sergeant-at-arms $25. Mr. Efird opposed the appropriation and urged that the sergeant-atarms should pay the money out oi the $200 given him for his salary. Mr. Efird moved to take the monej out of the permanent salary. Mr Moses said the sergeant was sick and needed the money more than ever. The amendment tcr pay the acting sergeant-at-arms $25 was adopted. The House then took up the calendar in the regular order and disposed of the special orders. The bill to require the countj board of examiners to appoint the teachers of the county summei schools was sent to the Senate aftei ?t ^ an meneciuai tuart waa ujbuc tu xccommit the bill. A flutter of excitement was raised by the introduction of a resolutior providing for the appointment of s committee of three to wait upon the Governor to find out if our United States Senators had resigned anc what had become of their resigna tions and to make such report aE they seem fit under the circumstances The resolution was continued. NIGHT SESSION". The TTnnne ftfc the niffht session killed the bill to limit the number oi hours of labor in cotton mills; alec the bills to provide for State depositories of public funds, and to require Solicitors to attend Coroner's inquests. The Senate bill to allow the consolidation of certain railroads so that the Southern may lease them, was given its second reading. The committee appointed to inves tigate the wretched condition of the State house made its report, which was satisfactory. The bill to validate an election foi intendant and four wardens for the town of White Rock in Lexingtor county, was given a second reading The bill providing for a constitu tional amendment as to abandoning township organizations to get out oi paying certain railroad bonds, passec its third reading. After the introduction of pream bles and resolutions in reference t( the old cotton claims growing out o: the war of 1861, the House ad journed. SENATE. The feature of the session was Senator Standland's vehement denu ciation of the State Board of Dis pensary Directors, in which hi charged mismanagement and extra i vagance. He said there was nov over $100,000 worth of dead stocl on hand in the State dispensary. 1 bill passed its third reading forbid ding the Directors from buying i liquors except upon a requisition o | the State Commissioner. The bill providing for the estab | lishment of a State soldiers' horn ! was withdrawn. 1 ? 7-1- L ii iavorauit) report, wacs ruaue ui the bill to provide for the furthe completion of the State house. Oi immediate consideration the bill wa given its second reading and wil probably pass. A large number of bills receive* ! their third reading, amoDg whicl were the following.

Bill to allow farm products to bi marketed in cities and town without license. Bill to prevent the removing or altering of landmarks. ^ Bill to prevent the shipping and a sale of deer for five years. Bill to amend the dispensary law 1' by changing the word ''or" to '*on." x; This bill is intended to remedy the ft defect in the law whereby some have held the law to be unconstitutional. it NIGHT SESSION. The bill regulating the infliction of capital punishment, which provides that all persons sentenced to death 6hall be executed within the walls of the State Penitentiary, was ^ killed. Senator Sharpe moved to strike ) out the enacting words of the bill I to amend section 288 of the crimii nal statutes of 1803 relating to labor ^ contracts and providing punishment v I for violation of the ssme. He said. n r "all the laborers in South Carolina T are not negroes, and he did not ^ want to see white people made sub ject to such a law ae this." The : Senate refused to strike out the en- P acting words, but recommitted the ' bill to a committee of three Sena- ^ tors to frame amendments. ^ : The Senate refused to kill the bill 31 1 extending the time for the payment 81 > of taxes until March 30, and the bill ^ 9 Cl > was given a tnira reading.

The Cuban people have had hard times for a num- ^ : ber of years and then Cuba is right I d ) at our doora and will probably belong c< t to the United States some of these e . days. By treating Cuba generously and justly the people of the island ; r will come to look on us as their I friends and will sooner or later be in j a frame of mind to seek annexation n to the United States. In the natural ~ course of events Cuba should belong . to tbie country and kind treatment | } will hasten the day when both coun- * ties will be one.

As the Legislature has passed J ' new road law perhaps it will stand ae test, but a wise precaution would aggest that the Supreme Court pass ! 3 pon it before it is put info effect. 3 Invitation Accepted. 1 i President Cromer, of Newberry j lollege, has accepted an invitation to 1 eliver the literary address at the 3 ammencement of the Columbia Fe- . lale College in June next. .
