We are getting along lairly j8 well, at least the old members \y say so. There are many important tei bills before the body and a great Q, many that are without any me- Ti rit, as we see them, and we are 'Pi killing them as fast as they come up. The Dispensary bills will M come up in a few days and not 0? doubt the debates will be lively tit and interesting, but no one can tell just what the conclusion will w< be. The lien law will also ex- ca cite much debate and will no doubt be amended in some way, but 1 do not believe it will be repealed. The railroads come in for their full share of legisla- ^ tion and some very drastic dto ? - I positions are in some of the bill*. The 2 12 ceuts per mile idea has many friends and we cannot , say what will be the conclusion. pf The 10-hour bill in regard to la- jaj bor in manufacturing establish. e(j ments will very likely pass. The j,,, Bucket Shop bill will we believe pass aleo. Yet it is hard to guess which way a matter will turn. The line between our county and ^ Kershaw will come up very like- ,jr ly today. This will be a fight 0(j between two old members of the house and two new members. Hu( We are going to do our beat for our county and we hope to have pL the matter settled without loss ^ to our county. The appropria- (jn tion bills are simply frightful and it is, we think, time tor the rpj brakes to be held firmly down. 0p The Legislature is invited to go ^ up to Clemson on Saturday next There was some opposition to this,but the House finally agreed i) ana we expect to go alone. * There is a bill introduced to di vide the fund derived from the tag tax between Clomson and set Winthrop. NVe rather think thisipo will excite much debate with'let small results. There have been I wl bills introduced covering every tre conceivable matter of public in I)i terest and s<,me wo think of very lea little importance to the people in< and some really detrimental to tin public g >od, and it is strange to tin us that t>ills ol so little iinpor ,ui tsnce have stiong support, yet | un it is true. Nearly every mem- att ber has his t>atch of bills to in- _ troduce and lie will introduce them though there may be a hall ^rj dozen measures covering thejcoi same gr >und.
