Tuesday in the House. The IHouse of Representatives Tues :lay -ave tiird reading to the? bill to aid the dispensary investigating con mince. The Senate gave third reading to a similar bill but it did not reach the House in time for first reading there. This was the only third icading bill. Under lie head of second reading four received favorable action and two were rejected. The four iwhich were given second reading and were or dered to be read the third time were: Mr. Prinee's to provide an appro pri::t ion for the Confederate Home college in Charleston. Mr. Saye's relating to game law. Mr. Laney's to provide for Christ mas holidays at State colleges. The Aiken delegation's bill to pro.. vide for a county court for Aiken.

Dispensary Bills. The dispensary committee reported Col. Morgan's bill with four members in its favor and four opposed to it. Messrs. Bass. Fishburne. Gause and Massey favored the bill. 'Messrs.

That Congress is hereby earnestly re uested and urged to restrict immnli gation by the educational test, physi cal examination and an increase of the head tax. so as to preserve and maintain our free institutions.'' Tuesday in the Senate. On Tuesday in the Senate there was much discussion, at times of a breezy nature. During the day the celebrated Ray, sor-Manning bill in a remodeled shape was introduced by Senator Raysor. This bill provides for the appointment of three members of the board of dispensar directors b-: thle Governor. at a salary of .$1,500 per annum. The Governor can remove these di rectors. who must ;gye bond for $14).. 000 and must meet-once a week inm Columbia. The comrmissioner is elect. ed by the Legislature. Advertise ment is made not'only in the Souti Carolina newspapers but in those of Louisville, Cincinnati. Baltimore and Pittsburg. and a feature of the bill is that all liquors are to be obtained from. governmien t bonded warehouses. These bids are to be opened by the commissioner in the presenice of three citizens appointed by the Governor and not eligible to serve more than ence. The whiskey must be pure and this must be certified by statement. If whiskey is offered through the agency of any one connected with the dispensary, this person forfeits one month 's salary for the first offense and his office for the second. No ase -goods are to lie bought under this bill. During the morning hour quite a number of new bills were introduced and referred to committees. 'the Ten-Hour Bill. The ten-hour bill was up before the committee on Wednesday, and was variously discussed in its several fea tures. This measure will come up be fore the legislature at some future time, when final action for this ses sion will be taken upon it. In the house a n umber of minor measures were passed to their see >d and thiid readings and a lot of new bills were introduced and re erred.

On Thursday both house and1 Sen ate were btusv~ with secoind andl third reading bills~. Also quite a lot of new measures were up for first read ing. The work wvas, however, largely devoted to local mjeasures. The bulk f really important business will :ome from the committees and be dis posedI of later in lie session. Friday a Dull Day. There was no excit ement attend ant upon Friday's session in either house. The grind of local bills is kept up. and things move along in a monotonous sort of way. An effort has been made to force thle legisla tive elections, but so far without avail. A Dispensary Bill.

Judlging from the report of the grand jury to the court there is a state of immorality existing in Lex ington county that the good citizens of the county are determined to cor rect. and to purify the surrounding a mosphere even if it takes the strong right arm of the court to do so. The resentment of the grand jury ar raigns for immorality four eases. and reeommnds that the parties be i!' dicted on the criminal side f the ourt. All of the parties are whites. It is charged that two single mtn and two married women, and one married man and an unmarried woman are livii in adultery and that an unmar ried man and an unmarried woman are openly living in violation of ttie law of decency and morality. The names of the witnesses who will prove this state of affairs have been fur niched Solicitor Timmerman and he will hand out bills of indictment at the next term of court against the parties named.
