The South Carolina Legislature The South Carolina Legislature ; ways has one shining virtue that coi mends it-self to the favorable consider lion of the people of the state. It an industrious body. It meets, di patches ^the public business and a jonrns in the shortest time, perhaps, any general assembly in the L u?ot The session just closed was no exceptic to the rule. It opened ou Xovemb* 22d. and there has been before the Le? islature some cf the most i in po ri at measures that have interested ta people sin^e the days of reconstruct tor How far the disposition that has bee made of these matters may be satisfac tory to those most directly concerned ii the results must be decided in the future AH legislation, however, by popula assemblies is usually the refiex of pub!:? sentimeut, and it is fair to presume- cha the acts of this Legislature are only chi wishes of the people as far as the repre? sentatives have been able to tinders taut them. The question that perhaps excited more interest than any other was thc demand of a large number of farmers for the establishment of an a g ri cult ural and mchanica- college, separate and distinct from the state university:. This matter has been agitated ia the public print, on the stump and in conventions in South Carolina for neat ly three years At the begining of the >essioa bills were introduced in both the Senate and House providing for the establishment of such a college. At the same time the trustees of the university submitted a plan for the enlargement of that institu? tion, so as to raise it to tue 'eve: of a first-class university, embracing among , its other features a college of agriculture and the mechanic arts The result of I a?rerai weeks' consid?ration of the \ matter resulted in thc rejection of the ' Hlls for the separate College and the ; adoption of the university pian by a de- j eided majority in both houses. The de? bate showed that the conservative ele ^raent, which was opposed to the large ap? propriations believed to be required ?JT the establishment of a separare college. : preponderated ic the General Assembly. ; i It was urged that for a verv much ? smaller expenditure in enlarging the c agricultural annex of the university the t same results could be accomplished. I This idea prevailed, and the opportunity v has been given for the trustees to she.Y ?J whether or not it was the correct one. . ;: It is needless to aid that the ex peri- j j? ment will be watched with cager inter- . }< est and subjected to the closest scrutiny c; by the advocates of the separate college. ; C and unless it proves a complete success ti and every facility is afforded foran agri- :t! cultural education, efforts will be renew- w ed to abandon this scheme and create the ;j separate institution. j sa The phosphate question was a leading issue. The joint committee appointed if by the two Houses to investigate the gj phosphate interests of the state reported th a bill to change the system of mining be operations and grant to 5ve companies th the exclusive right to remove rock from j v'n the streams for a period of ten years, ob Since 1870 the miners nave paid over a pu million dollars royalty into the state ?ni treasury. It was claimed before the (Jo committee that, owing to over-produc- rna lion, the industry was languishing, and Utj 4he only way to prevent serious loss to ' w:j She State and possible disaster to the ??0 ?liners was by such 'legislation as would sjj? .beck reckless competition. The com- . [jc i mittee was so fully convinced of tbe '? wh truth of these claims that the bill men- ave tioned was reported by a majority of it- ?ha members. From its in trod uni K>U, how? ever, it was evident that it could never pass the Legislature. The charge that j^. the bili sought create a p ?werful. roi monopoly that would unfavorably aile ci <\, the agricultural interests t ? the .State, ab? was made ti:c bu.-:.? of opposition, and resulted in the rejection ot the proposed an? measure. The demand of the Farmers c .nv-.n- .'. tion for an enlargement ot th.; beard -1 rio agriculture received fjvv'ubi'j consider- :,?., ation, and the bili to accomplish this ?>co ?ult met with no opposition, trier- if enees existed between the two I louses at. on some features >t the O:.;. nut . .j were reconciled and the >:gani>:v.] :>. . ; of the department ni agriculture : .: ..v ed.
