Sena- r' tor McLaurin, the author of the State j I et warehouse bill prefers to have the | measure pass the Senate firs and then w take it up on the House side for the j e> last touches. It is generally expected it that the warehouse bill will pass this n< session. The primary reform bill is i doubtful measure as to its passage and this will occasion the main fight of the sitting of the General As- I it sembly. While the House has been mark- | ing time on these particular measure |l>' it itas gone ahead on other bills. ef Compulsory education will have its | gi first real debate Tuesday when the j rl mil win m- niiisnifrni. i ur linum' |q| has passed the Haynsworth hill pro- 1 c;, viding Industrial schools al point in j lliis State and an appropriation of $f?,- f., too will he provided. jti The eomniittee to investigate the j asylum will he named during the | (< week, probably Monday evening on j vv the Senate side and in ay he at the U] convening ol the House Monday if u Mr. It.

The sessions are expected to start as soon as practlca- s, hie ](( No action has been taken on the ^ tJovernor's message yet as to the whites teaching in negro schools. This y will come up during the week also. p Much stress is being laid on con- ,j stmotive legislation at this session p and the newspapers are urging the fl passage of a primary reform bill j, medical inspection of schools and com pulsory education. _ uovernor mease nas aireany announced that the present primary law is adequate if enforced; he has also said he would veto a compulsory education law and the same Is true on s a hill providing for medical inspection school children. p Worms the Cause of Yonr Child's Pains.
