tho time in the Legislature was
spent in the discussion of the
proposition to repeal tho lien low.
After an almost all morning's
discussion of tho matter, the
House, by an overwhelming vote,
killed the proposition which looked
t'> a repeal of tho lien law tli.V
is now in force and tiled. The
chief argument us d in favor of
allowing the law to remain an it
now is was that tho lieu law g'vos
a kclpiag hand to the poorer class
of farmers and allows them to
borrow money from the banks at
current interest, as well as being
i medium of credit to merchants.
The House and Senate have already
passed a joint lcsolution
looking te u vote by tho people
>n tho question of biennial ae*iions
and the member* evidently
think that this m all that is neces?
?ary, for today a ioint resolution
looking to four-year terms of tho
general assembly wras defeated.

iiuio practically means tho defeat
>f the bill.
Mr. Co.por secured the limil

In the Senate today tho fertiliser

South Carolina Defrauded.
Contractors, and Architect, Accused
of Shady Work in
Connection With the
Completion of The
Capitol.
The Columbia State of Tuesday
publishes in full the report of the
cotnaiisdou appointed to investi
gate the completion of the Stute
capitol, iti which it is charged
that South Carolina has been made
tiic victim of a "monstrous swindle'1
and recommending logal
proceedings against the contractors,
Mcllvain Vnkofer Co.,
and the architect, Frank P. Milburn,
the latter a former resident
of Charlotte. The Legislature
of 11)00 appropriated $175,000
for the completion of the State
capital building, naming a commixtion
to have charge of tho
work. Last February the latter
reported that tho contract had
been satisfactorily performed.
One -member of the commission.
Senator J. Q. Marshall, however,
tiled n minority report to the effect
that tho plans submitted by
tiie architect were indefinite and
lacking in particularity and that
inferior workmanship and material
bad been used, the State thereby
losing many thousand of dollars.
Onn charge is that handsome
steel ceiling costing $10,000,
was torn out and cheap
tamped metal ceiling costing
?400 substituted therefor. De?
pile these objections, the tmjority
< f tho commission recommended
payment. Tho result of
the work of the invesl igating
committco is to sustain the minority
report in every particular.
The In'.tor were aided by an ex*
p<*it government constructor from
Washington, who pronounced the
work uft parody upon the scienco
of architecture." Among the
findings of tho committee is tho
following:
" That the architect, Frank 1*.
Milburn, employed by the commission
under tho act for tho completion
of tho plans and specifications
fou such work; notably in
failing to specify in detail what
the contractors were required to
do in many instances, but leaving
the same to bo decided by the
architect, thereby vesting large
discretionary powers in himself,
which could be, and wo are con
strained to say, were exercised
to the State's injury."
Foley's Ilonoy and Tar is best
for croup and whooping cough,
contains no opiates, and curei
quickly. Careful mothers keep it
in the house.
