THE LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE?SATURDAY.
Both the supply bills were given
second reading in the House yesterday.
The proposed drainage law was
killed as was the bill to require all
foreign corporations locating to do
business in this Scate to take out
charters in tbi3 State. The House
also passed the bill to require county
boards of education to name the
teachers in the county summer
schools.
jjjTfce House was in session nearly
eight hours today and began to
get the heavy bills out of the way.
There will be many bills to die on
the calendar, however, because they
cannot be taken up in time.
The discussion of 1fce anti trust
bill was resumed and it finally passed
its third reading.
When the third reading bills were
disposed of Mr. Webb tried to get
up his bill to limit the number of
hoars of labor in cotton factories.
oAmowhnf. of a stamDede
JLHIS uicaicu Dvaivtiwww ? ? .
and the House decided not to take
up the bill until after the general
supply bill could be disposed of. The
big supply bill was discussed. On
a motion to redt.ce the State levy
from 5 to 4f milis, Mr. Efird went
through the calculations made by
the committee. The taxable property
of the State is 8189,000,000. At
5 mills the revenue would be $961,000.
Whatever fees might come in additional
would be Deeded for the
annual appropriations will aggregate
$1,022,000. The motion was lost
and the bill passed to a third reading
Mr. Moses then pressed the legislative
supply or appropriation bill,
which fixes the per diem and mileage
of the general assembly. For
the Senators $8,000, if so much be
necessary, is appropriated, and S2,380
for the clerks; for doorkeepers,
porters, etc, $1,130; contingent fund
$900.
For the per diem and mileage of
the house, if so mach be necessary,
- ??? ? > i? Ann r j
$2i>,UUU; ior cier^s iui uuuikeepers,
laborere, etc., $1,450; contingent
fund $2,000.
The engrossing department gets
$4,500, if so much be necessary, to
pay the per diem of the solicitors,
clerks, laborers, etc.
This makes the total of all items a3
follower Senate, $12,410; house, $30,6T0;
engrossing department, $4,500.
Grand total $57,580, based on the
constitutional limit of 40 days.
The night session of the House
was taken up in debate on the various
measures pending.
SENATE.
Tn Via Spnftt.fi ? larcre number of
O
bills received their second and third
readings. This was about the work
of the Senate.
HOUSE?MONDAY.
The House took up the bill fo fix
the salaries of county officers and
> after various amendments the Senate
bill was passed. The bill is to take
the place of existing laws which are
said to be unconstitutional.
The following changes which
effects this county were: Made
under the provision for Sheriff the
following was added: "That the
Sheriffs of the various counties of
this State shall receive annual
salaries in lieu of all costs and fees
chargeable against the county, as
follows/1 etc.: After stating the
amount to be paid th6 salary of the
Sheriff of each county, the bill provides:
"That in addition to the
salary hereinabove provided, the
Sheriffs of the various counties of the
State shall receive 20 cents per day
for dieting each prisoner while in his
custody, and actual expenses for
himself and prisoners and lunatics,
when called beyond the county.
The salary of the County Commissioners
was raised from $250 to $300
each per annum. Township Commissioners
were to get $1 per day in
the Senate bill, but the House
changed this to $2 per day. The
salary of the County Superintendent
of Education was increased from
from $500 to $600. In Lexington,
Charleston and Newberry counties
special provisions for traveling ex
penees were inserted, but were afterwards
taken out as it was feared the
constitutionality of the bill might be
made questionable. The traveling
: expense then was included in the
: regular salary. Township Assessors
are to be paid $2 per day.
In reference to County Treasurers
provides: "That the County Treas
urer in each of the counties of the
State shall receive the same salary as
that paid to the County Auditor ol
such county, the salary of sucb
Treasurer to be paid by the State
and the county, in the same proportion
as that of the County Auditor
That m addition to me saiary so pru
vided for, each of the County Treas
urers of the State shall be entitled tc
charge of delinquent taxpayers 5(
cents for each tax execution issuec
against such delinquent, such fee nol
to be charegable against the county.
The legislative appropriation bill
came up. Mr. Moses wanted to pay
the acting sergeant-at-arms $25.
Mr. Efird opposed the appropriation
and urged that the sergeant-atarms
should pay the money out oi
the $200 given him for his salary.
Mr. Efird moved to take the monej
out of the permanent salary. Mr
Moses said the sergeant was sick
and needed the money more than
ever. The amendment tcr pay the
acting sergeant-at-arms $25 was
adopted.
The House then took up the calendar
in the regular order and disposed
of the special orders.
The bill to require the countj
board of examiners to appoint the
teachers of the county summei
schools was sent to the Senate aftei
?t ^
an meneciuai tuart waa ujbuc tu xccommit
the bill.
A flutter of excitement was raised
by the introduction of a resolutior
providing for the appointment of s
committee of three to wait upon the
Governor to find out if our United
States Senators had resigned anc
what had become of their resigna
tions and to make such report aE
they seem fit under the circumstances
The resolution was continued.

SENATE.
The feature of the session was
Senator Standland's vehement denu
ciation of the State Board of Dis
pensary Directors, in which hi
charged mismanagement and extra
i vagance. He said there was nov
over $100,000 worth of dead stocl
on hand in the State dispensary. 1

it
NIGHT SESSION.
The bill regulating the infliction
of capital punishment, which provides
that all persons sentenced to
death 6hall be executed within the
walls of the State Penitentiary, was ^
killed.
Senator Sharpe moved to strike
) out the enacting words of the bill
I to amend section 288 of the crimii
nal statutes of 1803 relating to labor ^
contracts and providing punishment v
I for violation of the ssme. He said. n
r "all the laborers in South Carolina T
are not negroes, and he did not ^
want to see white people made sub
ject to such a law ae this." The
: Senate refused to strike out the en- P
acting words, but recommitted the
' bill to a committee of three Sena- ^
tors to frame amendments. ^
: The Senate refused to kill the bill 31
1 extending the time for the payment 81
> of taxes until March 30, and the bill ^
9 Cl
> was given a tnira reading.
After the transaction of some minor
. business, the Senate adjourned.

Alas, Bleeding1 Cuba! t]
B1
J If the United States is going to u
abopt a reciprocity in trade with any
- of the countries of the world jus?
tice would demand that Cuba should
i be among the first. The Cuban people
have had hard times for a num- ^
: ber of years and then Cuba is right I d
) at our doora and will probably belong c<
t to the United States some of these e
. days. By treating Cuba generously
and justly the people of the island ;
r will come to look on us as their
I friends and will sooner or later be in
j a frame of mind to seek annexation n
to the United States. In the natural ~
course of events Cuba should belong .

ties will be one. I

will be of real good to them. For a

this reason we want to acquaint them (
* with what we consider one of the i
^ very best remedies on the market for s
coughs, colds and that alarming com- r
- plaint, croup. We refer to Chamber^
Iain's Cough Remedy. We have ^
used it with such good results in our
b
family so long that it has become a *
D household necessity. By its prompt
use V7e haven't any doubt but that it j
1 has time and again prevented croup. 1

a experience, and we suggest that our s
8 readers, especially those who have (
* small children, always keep it in their o
homes as a safegaurd against croup." I

Clerk's Wise Suggestion. ! <

pharmacist of Attleboro, Mass. j
I could eat hardly anything without-j

uggested I try Kodol Dyspepsia |
Jure which I did with most happy
eeults. I have had do more trouble
nd when one can go to eating mince
ie, cheese, candy and nuts after I
uch a time, their digestion must be
retty good. I endorse Kodol Dvfepsia
Cure heartily.'1 You don't ^
ave to diet. Eat all the good food ,

Declared Unconstitutional. 2
Judge Gage has decided that the ^
ounty road law is unconstitutional
ecause it provides for a different
umber of days for each delinquent _
jxpayer to work in the several coun- :
e9. As the Legislature has passed J '
new road law perhaps it will stand
ae test, but a wise precaution would
aggest that the Supreme Court pass ! 3
pon it before it is put info effect. 3

ither drugs, and applied e-ternally numerous
otions and salves with no benefit. At times the
welling and inflammation was so severe he was ) _
