Tne legislative session is now just about half finished. There is no reason why adjournment should not be had 1 within the constitutional requirements i of 40 days. A great many members, ! after mature consideration of the situation, do not find the necessity r foi as much legislation as they had ; thought would be required when they | were making their campaigns. 1 There are some members who are opposed to what they called "junketj ing" trips. LITTLE "SCRAPPING'* SO FAR. There has been no decided outbreak of factionalism; on the contrary, the "snuffeis" have been applied whereyer | the light began to blaze. The purpose | on all sides seems to be to keep down | fueling and to avoid unseemly coni tention about the cast. The Senate, it appears, is disposed to bury the hatchet as much so as the J House. Prior to the election of United i S ates Senator Tillman, Mr. Rembert's resolution calling upon the Senator to "specify" was passed by the House. It went to the Senate and it now occupies the position cf foot of the Calendar, and it is altogether likely that it will remain there. THE LIQUOR QUESTION. It has not been many years since the House, year after year, passed the State-wide prohibition law, and it was left only to the Senate to avoid imposing on the State a prohibition regime. State-wide prohibition is now looked upon as only a theory, and the . best evidence of that is that not a single, solitary prohibition bill has been introduced at this session of the General Assembly, , LICENSE BILL IN SENATE. The Rittenberg license bill is absolutely oat of the hands of the House now, having passed the three readings by that body. It is now entirely a matter for the consideration of the Senate, and, judging by the vote on the Olitton bill, the counties have been given the right to vote on the return of the county dispensaries in May. STATE WAREHOUSE BILL. One of the important propositions that will come up during the coming 1? 511 1 1 A 5- 1 1.1. _ weea win ue wnat is Known as me State warehouse bill. This is a sequel to the warehouse bill of last, year, which the Supreme court held to be unconstitutional on account of the State's credit being involved. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. Nothing has yet been done on the matter of compulsory education. There are several bills pending, particularly that of Senator Hall, which provides I a general scheme, and those pulsory education. workmen's compensation. At one time it looked a9 if the House would adopt the resolution providing for the appointment for a special commission to inquire into and report a measure that would provide proper workingmen's compensation and employer's liability. The resolution passed the house and was then recalled, and the chances appear to be altopother acairiKt anv legislation alonp this line. CONCERNING THE PRIMARY. The House aud Senate yet have in store the consideration of the bilis to tighten up the primary regulations. Neither branch has yet taken up these measures. The chief feature of the bill is to require the club rolls to be filed with the Clerk of Court at least 30 days prior to the primary. PENITENTIARY MATTERS. There promises to be a lievly contest over the questions relating to the State penitentiary. One is as to the closing of the hosiery mill and the other is as to the sale of the State farnv\ oil which convict labor is employ* d. CONSTITUTION A L CON V ENTION. There is more and more talk about the holding of a constitutional convention. JUDGE ELECTED TODAY. in view of the declination of Major W. L.

Polite and Pt method of handling bills. For the first time in many years there is a growing tendency to handle bills without reference. This is unusual and dangerous. The inheritance tax bill is one of the early propositions to be considered. It is not having a bed-of-roses time, as it did last year. The out-look is that the Rembert bill to allow judges $3 per day while engaged in circuit work for expenses will pass. The 6 per cent bills are in trouble, with unfavorable reports The committee to investigate Dr. Mitchell and the Peabody fund matter ha? selected Mr. Francis H. Weston, chairman, and Mr. Nicholson, secretary. The committee will meet this C&A UV/l LIVUU Newberry Letter. What do you think of a man when he says he is tLirty years old and lia9 lived one hundred. He certainly must have been sowing some wild oats in the past. One of our mo9t able circuit judges recently made a complimentary remark on the petit jurors from Columbia cnH nnp in t.hn nnnpp nn.rf, of thp *? ""v -ri'"- r ? - ? ?~ State. We are satisfied that old Lexington is on the same list. We are pleased to see the different communications from different sections of Lexington oounty ia last week's issue of the Dispatch. Let them continue to come. The good people of the good old Dntch Fork of Lexington county better had let good enough alone. If they think by annexing to Newberry or Richland counties that they will have no taxes to pay they will oertainly be mistaken, ana ior conveniences, so far as the railroads are concerned, how. many people will leave their horse and baggy at home and reach down in their pockets and pay the fare to Columbia or Newberry? Not one out of every twenty, and so far as the j dirt roads are concerned, the distance to either of the places would be very little. Your school districts are already established and by annexing to either of the counties you certainly would ha\e some trouble along that line. B. B. H. aA Misleading Title." Tampa Times. The National Corn exposition that was opened at Columbia, S. C., on last Monday and, is now in session, snould have been giver a broader tide. It covers a great deal more than corn, relating to all agricu'tural products of the country. Its broad and general design is the betterment of the agriculture of the country of all kinds and in all parts. It is presumed that the name "Corn Exposition" was given to the affair by reason of the prominence and importance of corn as an agricultural product and its general diffusion throughout all sections of our territory. This is the fifth annual corn exposition, the first having been held at Chicago, the second and third at Omaha, and the fourth at Columbus, O. This is the first time that it has come South, and it is gratifying to knew that the people of South Carolina and of her capital, Columbia, are acquitting themselyes with credit in the manner in which they are taking care of it and in the interest the farmers are exhibiting in its success. These exhibitions are educational in the highest degree. They not only teach the farmers the best methods of making their farms remunerative by imparting to each other varying experiences as to the best processes of cultivating the soil, but they are also showing them how to make the homes of the farmers' wives and families more comfortable and more attractive. Another feature tnat is given prominence at these expositions is the work of the government for the farmers, in making the farm a more desirable place to live and farming more proffit&ble as a business. A fact of which the South may be proud is, that the record for corn production per acre is borne by an aero in South Carolina and it was grown by a boy, a native of the same State. ,Vlrr '< IY. iiG-EB.
