Below we take from The State of Monday a brief summary of the bills passed by the legislature. The State says: "The general assembly which has ju9t closed in some respects presented some remarkable features. There was little general legislation, although an unusually large number of local acts were passed. The senate and house were in session 47 days, which was a week longer than usual and there was a filibuster that broke all previous records over the prohibition bill in the house and another on the same measure in the senate. _ "The general assembly passed a compromise prohibition measure which will hardly cnange existing conditions, although a few of the counties mav \yote out the dispensaries. There is no doubt but that at the next session another effort will be made to pass the State-wide bill. "The general assembly passed Mr. K. P. Smith's bill requiring corporations to make public to the stockholders the exact financial condition. It also passed Senator Mauldin's billforbiding any corporation from declaring dividends not actually earned. "It repealed the lien law after a very hard fight in the senate. "It killed the railroad rate law, which would have made the legal passenger rate in the State 2y2 cents per mile. "It increased considerably the ap- I propriations for the common schools i and passed some important amendments to the present high school law. "It passed the Brice a?t, making 10 hours the legal day in textile establish- j j ments. This act does not apply in | cases of lost time. "It changed and enlarged Commis- \ | sioner Watson's department, eliminat- i ng the immigration feature and oreat' > t W. P. DEAI GENERAL M Lexington, S * OSS CORFU r, ties., m m m m ronage. Polite and Pre i ing a department of factory inspection with the right to appoint t wo inspec- , tors. "It passed a law making the passage I of a worthless check a misdemeanor. "It provided for a new class room at the University of South Carolina and additional facilities at Winthrop. "It passed an anti-discrimination bill, which would forbid underselling J of certain products for the purpose of I stifling competition. "These ai e some of the most impor- I tant matters acted on. A large uum- i ber of bills were killed and a very ! lar?e number carried over until n?jxt session. It refused to take any acti< n on tax reform or on compulsory edu- I cation, although both will probably be acted on next year." Thirty-wo Applicants Thirty-two applicants appeared be- I fore Postmaster Leaphart on Satur- j day and stood the 'examination for rural route carriers. There were only two new routes?Lexington No. 6, and Pelion No. 2. There were twelve applicants for the Lexington route, and eight for the Pelion route.
