The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, February 17, 1904. General Assembly. Monday. The senate, when it adjourned Saturday, decided to take up only uncontested bills, so the session today was of a routine character. There were forty-eight bills on the calendar for a third reading. Of these thirtyfive were only of local concern and were passed. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the committee, made a report on the State bouse. And asked that it be ? printed io the permanent journal. The bill to prevent the use of other than sterilized bottles by the dispensary was read the second time with an amendment that preference be given to old dispensary bottles, The proposition of the tax commission in reference to the duties of chairman of local boards of assessors and their compensation,' was read the second time with notice of amendments. When the house met this morning there was not a quorum present, but the point was not raised and the house passed 38 bills which were onder the head of "third reading." They were local bills which had been given second reading Saturday. Ten of them are senate bills and were sent to the engrossing department for enrollment as acts. The second reading bills were then taken up and such as were submitted t by their authors were acted upon. The claims of persons who lost stock 1 killed by the State veterinarian were taken up. After a long discussion the claims were killed. The following bills also were killed: Judiciary committee bill relating to sales under tax executions. . Mr. Middleton's, to increase the punishment for bigamy. Mr. DaYore'a, to provide for the payment of $10 per annum to each member of boards of jury commissioners. Mr. Middleton's, to increase the commutation tax to $2 (this matter being regulated in another bill.) Mr. Beamguard'e, to curtail the bunting season by two months. The vote was 46 to 33. Mr. Middleton's proposition to amend constitution so that general assembly shall meet in May. (Withdrawn by the author. 1 3?r. Middleton's bill to require coun ty commissioners to buy bloodhounds. Among the claims presented today was one from F. B. Gary, special judge at Lexington court, $623. Mr. Auli's bill to provide for libraries in the public school was passed. At the night session the report of the special commission to investigate the completion of the State house was read and was received as information. The report did not seem to create a sensation but has set the members to thinking and some declare this to be the most serious incident in State government which happened in year9. There were no new bills in the house yesterday as the time for introduction of bills has expired. Mr. Gaston's bill to increase the lyjUl^lCUDOVlUU Ui hue UiCUik/cio Ui tuv State pension board from $4 to $5 a day and to provide mileage for the members of the county boards was killed. Tuesday. In the senate today the medical practice bill received its third reading. It was finally passed over for further consideration. The bill to make side tracks obligatory on railroads in so far as industrial enterprises are concerned was passed. The fertilizer inspection bill, which includes cotton meal, was passed after several amendment^, for or against the bill, were adopted. The regular marriage licens bill came up, but was defeated on a viva voce vote. The vote was against requiring marriage certificates to be had in the state. The bouse of representatives spent all of today acting on the bill to provide for a record of marriagee, ??a? i iiin " maiiiiii ?aw?a ??a j and the bill to repeal the lien law. 'Etch of these bills comes op every j year, and each is killed with persisfc| ent regularity. The marriage record i bill is killed on the ground that it is i a 6tep toward the enactment of a | divorce law, and the bill to appeal j the lien law i8 killed because it is urged that the lien law is a protection to tbe poor, as it permits them to give a mortgage on muscle and to get money with which to work independ' ently, whereas, if there were no such law they would not be able to work for others. Another matter disposed of finally | was Mr. Efird's proposition to have | tbe members elected for four-year | terms should the people ratify the | proposal to have biennial sessions. Wednesday. The senile met st 10 o'clock today instead of 11, ae the journal showed it had adjourned io. A number of reports were made by l committees. The medical practice bill came up j next. Senator Marshall offered the following amendments: i Provided, That nothiDg contained I in this act shall in any way effect any ; person haviDg a diploma from any ! ? " ' * ? J ? -J ,,l j legally coartereu auu ic^umuj ! conducted school osteopathy. Provided, farther, That nothing in j this act shall be so constructed so as to allow osteopths to prescribe medicines and practice 6ergery. The governor ehall appoint three | competent homoeophatis physicians ' from the state at large, who shall l constitute a State Board of Homceo| pathic Medical Examiners, whose i term of office, powers, duties, mode ! of procedure and compensation shall | be the same as those of the regular j state board herein provided for: | That no applicant who has failed or i who may hereafter fail in hisexaminai tian by the state board of medical ! examiners, shall be allowed to present j bimself or herself before the state : board of homoeopathic examiners for examination: Provided, further, I That no graduate of any medical college requiring le9s than a four ! years' course of study will be eligible j for examination before this board. *** ' -i i j rtiese amendments were agreed to with some further minor amendments on motion of Senator Marshall, i The telephone bill was read the I third time and then this was reconj sidered. Senator Yon Kolnitz saying ! that he had some amendments he I wished to make. i A bill was introduced to increase ! the salary of the adjutant general | from $1,500 to $1,900 which is the j salary of all other state officers. The house beard a protest from : colored citizens of Charleston against i requiring seperate apartments for { passengers on steamboats. After a wrangle it was decided that the protest be printed in the journal. A favorable report was made on i the senate bill relating to scholarships j at the Confederate home in CharlesJ ton. An unfavorable report was made | on the bill providing for two year i terms of railroad commissioners. | Mr. Dorroh'e garnishment bill was j killed by a vote of 16 to 39. The bill to further regulate the ! assessment of property for taxation | was then taken up. Mr. Jeremiah ' Smith was a warm advocate of the ! enacment of the bill because he saw | the necessity for some law to get all j property on the books at its real j value. The bill, after considerable discus sion, was killed by an aye and nay | vote. Thursday. In the senate today the chief j matter of interest was the debate on : Senator Brice's bill to allow counties I and towns to vote out dispensaries : when already established: There | was seemingly a disposition on the i part of the senate to vote in favor of j the bill, but many amendments were 1 offered and while the bill was passed 1 n 1 Vii f f a f bn ; i\j a kuiiu icauiu^ auu DUJJW IU IUC ! hou86 an amendment offered by Senj ator Blake and adopted is generally j taken to mean the final death of the ] bill. The amendment requires that j all counties which do not have the | dispensary shall get none of the I 6cbool profits accuring from that fund. | Another amendment adopted lays a I levy of half mill on those counties | which do not have dispensaries for the purpose of payiDgfor tneexpetme of the constabulary. I j la the house today the judiciary committee offered a bill relating to the third circuit and also a bill regarding the ceding of certain property for public buildings at SpartaDburg aud the building of a new court house at Darlington. A number of unimportant bills were reported. The house took up the immigration bureau bill. Mr. DeVore offered an amendment looking to the restricting of immigrants to the extent of not offering inducements to those who have the | uioauo tu puicuaee email tiauto ui land. Tbere was considerable discussion on this bill in which Mr. Efird said that he did not believe that the bill would briDg the desired relief, as it is the rule that immigrants go to the cities and not farms and moved to continue the bill. Oa this an aye and nay vote was taken. The nay (to preserve the bill) prevailed and the measure was ordered to its third reading. By an aye and nay vote Mr. Bank's amendment was adopted. The amendment seeks to confine immigrants to white citizens of the United States, Irelaud, Scotland, Switzerland and France?in other words, foreigners of Angle-Saxon origin.
