Mar. 1.?With the le die adjournment of the legislare early Sunday morning 11:59 by e house and senate clocks, but a fie after 6 by all others?came to close a most unusual session of the ?islature. The net result of it all is conclusively to prove what had :er. confidently asserted before, at the house was prohibition and e senate local option. True, the ajorities in both cases were great ough to join issue with the senate d consented to the compromise 11. The compromise bill fathered by :nator Christensen was passed by e senate Thursday night after iee hours discussion. The bill is in effec, sorely a mearr> i s\ ' -1 " ... iv elections throughout e State--or rather in the "wet" unties-on the question of liquor c. The bill provides that on Au1st ali county dispensaries shall : closed and state-wide prohibition all be inaugurated. On the 17th, nvever, elections on the sale of liske . are to be held in counties >w wet. If liquor is voted in the unities are to continue to run their >unty dispensaries under the Careyothran act. as at present. The test >te on the Christensen compromise the senate resulted: For the bill >; against 9. When the senate passed the comromise measure, which purpoted to : an amendment to the State-wide rohibition bill, though it was in tality a local option measure, it as freely predicted that the house ould not accept the amended bill, ut such speculations proved unfunded. the house consenting to te compromise Saturday. Thus for one more year the stateide prohibition movement is laid n the table. It is claimed by Senior Otts that at least 15 counties -ill go dry at the election in August ut this estimate is believed by most ) be too high. The general opin>n seems to be that from five tn jvcn counties will vote themselves ry. Besides the liquor bill the most nportant act of the legislature at lis session was the repeal of the en law. which came earlier in the ession, before the determined fight n prohibition was well begun. Other Important Action. Other important notes by the legf.ature were: The passage of the ill requiring statements of conditDns by all corporations. The killing of the railroad rate law taking the legal rate in this State 1-2 cents a miie. The railroads re now giving a 2 1-2 cent rate, so ae bill would have made no immeiate difference. The increase in the appropriation or common schools. The enlargement of Commissionr Watson,s duties, extending his irisdiction to industries and proidin* for a tactory inspector. Passage of the Brice ten hour act )r textile establishments. Increase ot facilities at Winthrop ad the University of South Carlina. Passage of anti-discrimination bill jrbidding underselling in certain ncs of business. In addition to these a number of ?cal acts were passed. The legislature took no action on ompulsory education or tax reform id both may be expected to come P again at the next session. Cii.i-. M. ? alio way >ne to the State Capitol to have e requisition papers countersigned, e had not reported at the sheriffs lice up to the time the sheriffs fice closed to-night, and Gen. G. uncan Bellinger who is Garl ngions mnsel had not jecn his client this terr.co \ and arrangements had not . en made as to whether he would ve bond for his appearance at the gular term of the Criminal Court r whether he would insist upon a reiiminary hearing at this time.
