PALMETTO LEGISLATURE. Pror?dlngi of tba State Legislature Told Is Btiaf. * . Little seems to have been accomplished in the Senate or House oifTuesday. The prohibition and local option factions have become antagonistic. In the House especially, the local optionists by roll calls and reading line by line of bills hope to keep the prohibition bill from com mfr to a vote. It was the object to adjourn on Saturday, but the time may have to be extended into next week. Tn tbe Senate it is said the local optionists have a majority of four and in the House there is a close division. Local Optionists Yield. Having reached an agreement y Wednesday morning whereby the lo?> cal optionists consented to let the two State-wide prohibition bills come to a vote before the close of the legislative day, the bills were voted on Wednesday night, the bill declaring State-wide prohibition and giving the present dispensaries till next July to close out their present stocks being considered first. This was passed to third reading by a vote of 58 to 40. Every attempt to amend ] the bill failed, except one by Mr. Oar- ] ris, cutting the pay of the expert accountant down to $5 from $10 a day. ^ An amendment exempting George- j town. Richland and Charleston conn- , tounties failed 66 to 41. ] A illhstihlfo nfforo/1 K\t T?!% . .. . % *v v/nvm t\4 UJ 1UI, J I U? providing for a referendum in August. 1910, as between State-wide prohibition and the present system was tabled 00 to 37. Other important amendments which failed were two by Mr. Doar, one exempting the coast counties and the other making the act effective twelve months hence. The House then took up the other prohibition bill, which provides the conditions under which drug stores may sell alcohol and wine for sacramental, scientific and medicinal purposes. By a vote of 52 to 35 the House refused to kill the bill and later passed it to third reading. Neither bill can reach the Senate till Friday and it is a hundred to one shot it will not get through that body, with the result that there will be no ^ change in the present system. The House bill directed against liquor drummers, lias been withdrawn The Senate bill is now on the House calendar and it is barely possible that the bill may be passed. In the Senate Wednesday night Senator Graydon got up his bill doing away with'the present mileage book regulations. It has passed the House and now has a fighting chance to get through the Senate, it appears, on Thursday's Senate calendar as a debate-adjourned bill. The Senate passed resolutions by Croft for referendum on adding a fifth member to the Supreme bench and increasing the term of the Supreme judge to ten years. By a vote of 23 to 15 the Senate Wednesday night passed the lien law bill slightly amended. The House will accept the amendments, and thus ends a fight that has been going on for half a 11 * ** I After a three days' fight which ' may or may not have been a filbuster to keep certain other bills in the background, the Senate finally de- . cided Thursday to kill the lien law. A great deal of time has been lost r and much of the most important f legislation of the session remains to * be done within two days?providing j the legislature adjourns Saturday night. None of the three appropria- 1 tion and supply bills have been touch- f ed by the Senate. The following list of uncontested Senate bills were passed to third r reading by the House Thursday. On 1 the bill which would appropriate $6,- 1 000 for a suitable service for the * battleship South Carolina objection was made by Representative Irbv. It had been hoped to get the bill throilirh at the r? resent aesainn in ' order that the battleship might be properly equipped with the service as given by "all other States. An appropriation of $300 was given for a memorial window at Blandford church, Petersburg, Va., for those who lost their lives and are buried in the cemetery near the church. The list of the bills are as follows: Mr. Weston?To amend an act to establish the insurance department of South Carolina.

The action Friday night was t< that part of the measure in refei to a 2 1-2 cent rate, but to leav< section referring to the taking ? mileage coupons on the trains, the indications that the whole o] bill would be killed Saturday mor The following resolution has ?d the senate: Whereas there is now pendini fore the senate the following bil " 'A bill to regulate certain fri ates.' " 'A bill to prescribe a mil Jase for making freight rates fo -oads in South Carolina,' and " 'A bill requiring the rail 'ommission to put into effect a form classification for all roads he State.' "And it being necessary tha he consideration of said bills the ?te should have before it certaii formation bearing upon the su uuhci uit'irui ; nuw, "Be it resolved by th senate, .he railroad commission of this t >e, and the same is hereby, requf o furnish and transmit to this st >n the first day of its next sessi eport, with accompanying sched >f the classification and rates freight hauled by the common iers in the State of Georgia, N .'arolina, Virginia, Texas and lama, and such other infornu concerning the subject matter ot iforesaid bills, with their sugges hereon.

Besides the consideration of 'ailroad rate bill on Saturday, state Senate passed several bill ocal nature and a few of Statenterest. There was a very brief lion as an adjournment until Tue ivening at 8 p. m., was taken afl >'clock. At 11:30 the Senate wen o executive session to consider onfirm the various appointm nade. The following bill passed 1 eading and was ordered ratified ient to the House: Mr. Brice?To amend section >f the code, chapter 65, relatin he recording of deeds, mortg ind other instruments, limiting o 20 days, after the first of 1 909.

Of course there ma\ n fo? be amendments on the third readins and the Senate may, or may not, ther 1935, affirm its action." ating Hard right on Bill. The main proponent of the bill was e 5, Senator Graydon of Abbeville, who South made some strong arguments in its titled favor. He contended in part that there was no agrement of ahy kind :t re- made at the last session by which nuni- the Senate should feel bound. Senator Walker made the principal T of speech against the railroad rate bill, le of Mr. Walker's remarks were directed le to in the channel that the legislature had made a moral contract with the railroads last year when the governoi riday and the officials of the various rail rale road companies had conferred to gether and the governor had submit j kill ted his recommendation for no legis rence lation to the general assembly. Mr p the Walker also argued that it was noi ip of right for the legislature to interfen with w-ith the business methods of the rail f the roads in the mileage section of tin ning. bill. pass- The drummers have what they ask ed for, that is to say. hereafter; pro r be- vided there are no further changes Is: made in the bill, mileage must bt ieght taken up on the trains instead of il being necessary to exchange mileage leagc for tickets. r all Also the Senate stood pat upor this implied agreement with the rail Iron 1 roads and have not legislated a 2 1-1 uni- ce?t rate. ? in The Senate adjourned until Tues day, 8 p. m. t, in sen- Money is Given for "South Caro ii in- olina." bjeet The House on Saturday passed tin resolution introduced in both house: That providing for $5,000 for a suitable State silver service for t lie battleshi) >stel South Carolina.
