My health has prevented me th
from writing before, it being all tj(
that I was able to do to keep up ail
with our work in the Legisla- 0t
^ ture. 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repealed.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. We have this bu
