The General Assembly of South Carolina was called to order at noon Tuesday, January 12. As this is the middle term very little time was consumed in the work of organization and in a short while both branches of the law-making body were at work on the calendar. THE SENATE. The Senate cn Tuesday passed aD unevemfai day session ou its opening day. The roll call showed mat 34 members were present. After au opening prayer by Rev. W. I. Herbert, Lieut. Gov. Sloan addressed the body. A committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Sbarpe, Stackhou?e and Williams, were appointed to notify the governor that trie setiute was in session and ready for business Oa motion of Mr. Dean the house was notified that the senate having been duly organized was ready for business. The governor's message was presented by his private secretary arid read in the usual manner. Several appointments were announced. J E Watson having resigned as doorkeeper, J J Watson of Greenwood was given the position. Mr. A D. McFaddm, of Columbia, was appointed bill clerk in the absence of Mr. Butler, who is detained on account of illness. After the reading of fcb8 governor's special message on the death of Gen. John B Gordon, Senator Aldrich introduced a concurrent resolution as follows. "Whereas it has pioased the Almighty to end the brilliant earthly career of that briliant soldier and statesman, Gen. John B. Gordon of Georgia, aDd, v "Whereas at a trying and critical period of this state be came to our aid aod rendered voluntary services of such value and devotion as entitles bim forever to be known as a friend of the people of South Caroline: now, therefore be it, "Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of South Carolina that,a committee be raised to attend the funeral of Gen. Gordon and to pay the state's tribute cf respect to his memory. "Said committee to be composed of his excellency the governor or such member of the executive department as be may designate, the chief justice * *. /-.rv\ Uiiti of tD0 supreme court or tuuu uciuuci of the judicial department as he may designate, three senators to be appointed by the* president of the senate and five members of the house of representatives to be appointed by the speaker of the house. "Resolved that the sergeant at arms of the bouse take the necessary steps to carry these resolutions into effect." THE HOUSE When it was ascertained officially that a quorum of the bous? was present, Speaker Smith ascended the dais on which is the speaker s chair and announced: "The deliderations of the day will be opened with prayer by the chaplain". The Rev. R. N. Pratt then delivered his invocation. The first new business was a resolution by Mr. Aull fixing Friday as the time for the holdiug of the election of an associate justice to suceed Mr. Justice Wood?; tor a state librarian; for two directors of the state penitentiary and for chairman of the board and two directors of the state dispensary, and for a liquor commissioner. The resolution was adop ed The senate resolutions in regard to Gen. Gordon were unanimously adopted. WEDNESDAYS SESSION. The most important matter before 1 ?nan.nkl? rana ^kn fuv tuo geueiai ooncui ui jr woo IUC I<QA commissioner's report. A license tax . on certain corporations is recom mended and a wmore vigilant and fearless performance of duty"' is urged. The report shows that upon the basis of the appropriations for 1903, there is need of increasing the state's rtvenue by the annual earn of 880,000 and by such an additional sum as will, in the course of time, accumulate a fund sufficient to put the state on a cash basip. The commission suggests as ooe source for additional revenue what is commonly designated as a lii cense t?x. Tbe bill to compel railroads to carry 250 pounds of baggage free was killed. Tbe vote stood 1G to lb, butthechair cast the deciding vot* which killed tbe bill.

The house of representatives tackled three important oues tions. Oae of these tbe dispoei- . tioo of tbe tag tax on fertilizers, another tbe punishment of violators of | farm labor contracts, and the third j "treating" on election dajs.

The Senate gave several bills tbeir second reading and consumed most of the day on the bill relating to rail- J roads carrying dru'nmerR and other peoples triiDk* free of charge to the extern. of 200 pounds. The bill was j killed Thursday but was taken up i again today and with a slight amendment passed the Senate. There was n? t vent of particular import in the ptoceedings of the house of representatives Friday. The calendar was proceeded with in regular manner unul every bill had been called. The most interesting eveDt of the day was Mr. Pollock's withdrawing r bill entitled "a bill to further regulate the purchase and sale of intoxicating 1 q ics and beverages withio this State."
