ASSEMBLY AGREES
TO ADJOURN MARCH 4
i ' I
f^nntc Moot* Tonight to Act on Appropriations?\o
Vote ois
Mileage BUI.
.
Coinmbiu. Special to Charleston
News and Courier Feb. 28.?The appropriation
bill was not returned by
the free conference committee to the I
General Assembly and therefore there 1
was no use to continue in session today.
Karly in the morning the senate
decided that it would meet again Tues
day night when it adjourned today,
and this it did shortly before the dinner
hour. Although the senate had ad- <
journed until Tuesday and the free 1
conference on the appropriation had '
taken a rest until Monday afternoon,
there were about twenty members of \
the House who wanted to remain in |
continuous session for the moral ef- ;
feet on the ground that this would i
place the responsibility for failure to '
adjourn sine die on the part of the |
Senate. As a matter of fact, the <
Senate is no more to be blamed than
any one else, and Mr. Stevenson point- (
ed out that it was just as well to re- ,
member that the House kept the ap- ,
propriation bill for six weeks and (
that the Senate was entitled to use its f
own time on this or any other measre.
,
There has been no vote yet on the ?
mileage bill and those who are oppos- j
ed to it insist that there will not be c
during the year 1914, with a flat two- s
cent proposition pending. t
FORTNER BIl,L ALTERED. t
What is known as the Fortner hill
but which will probably not be recognized
by its legislative father made a t
step forward in the Senate. The sub- p
stitute leaves the matter of the em- i?
plovment of white people to the u
county school authorities. ^
There was a very interesting development
today on one of the veto mes- v
sages which came from the Governor, 11
and on which he said in his opposit- a
tion to commission form of govern- c
ment the following:
"It is unecessary for me to repeat ?
10 you my message. T am opposed to
tomniission the r:i 111.-no#- T)rvr,.,Kll...... I "1
isin that could possiblly be adopted by
any body of men calling themselves
Democrats. 1 have vetoed all that '
have come to me heretofore to this
effect, and will \eto all tie others 1
that ome to me so long as I am ,l
(Governor. My reasons have been set 1'

PTFVKNttON RKSDNTS CHARGE. '
v
Mr. Stevenson, in the course of the ^
argument against the - cto being sub- c
laiuod arose to a question of personal
privilege, in the course of which he
said: ^
"I think it the rankest Republican- K
ism that could possibly be adopted by ?
any body of men calling themselves
Democrats." On behalf of the Democrats
who have almost unanimously
voted to pass this bill over the veto
I resent this charge that we are enacting
Republication legislation and $
are only "calling' ourselves Democrats.
For myself I voted first in (
1 884 for the Democratic ticket and
have voted for a straight Democratic tr
ticket ev? r >-inoe and have had no af- ?b
delation with people connected with ii
any other nartv. 1 have had no body
euard nor ^>res agent who we-; the uj
representative or organizer of the tl
"Pull Moose" movement, nor to any w
other Roosvelt propaganda :and on tl
behalf of tjjie large body of Democrats in
" ho voted* for this measure I resent w
the charge,and r< pudiate the insinun- t\
tion that we are only "calliug our- ui
selves Democrats and 1 say the charge i
fs unworthy of the Governor of this |
siaje, wno nas been honored by
the party*in the past and who is now tt
avowedly peeking higher honors at fc
the hands bf the party represented by h<
the members of this House. te
THE TEIAJNG FIGHT. _
Mr. Hutchison, who was the father ij.
of the hillfmade the telling fight however.
in favor of the passage of the w
measure over the Governor's veto and q
it was in response to his appeal that ||t
the House overrode the veto by which
if the senate concurs, the city of Rock _
Hill will be given an opportunity, at ~
an election, to determine whether it
wants the commission form of govern- g
ment or not. The House voted 6 2 to
21 In favor of passing this particular I
till! over the Governor's veto.
The bill with reference to the rural I
police system in Beaufort county did I
not fare so well. Messrs Fripp Boyd, I
Hutson and Barnwell tried to save the I
rural police bill from the beheading ef I
feet of the veto but 34 members voted I
to sustain the veto, while 52 voted I
to override, it and the bill died for I
failure to get the necessary two-thirds I
vote. D
ADJOURNMENT PROSPECTS. I
The status with reference to
inurnment is this: The House some 11
time ago passed a resolution fixing
h date for adjournment. This went to
the Senate where it was kept in storage
until/today when it was returned
to the House with an amendment fixing
Wednesday night, March 4, as the
flay and hour for final adjournment.
When the. resolution came back to the
House thus amended it was adopted;
therefore both the House and the senate
have agreed to adjourn on Wednes
day night at 9 o'clock. Of course the
legislative day known as March 4 may
he continued indefinitely, but unless
the resolution is reconsidered?and
this is not likely?Wednesday, March
4, will be the legislative date of final
adjournment. Of corse, if the appropriation
bill is not ready and engrossed
the day may extend far beyond
Wednesday night. The hope however
that when the free conference comj
ittee finishes its work Monday evening
the engrossing department will
ret the leport and prepare the hill, although
the report may not bo adopted
rlor to the meeting on Tuesday night
> that the appropiration hill can be
rWen by the Governor Wednesday!
