The Present Ses Ion So Far Ha* Been Marked by a Total Absence of Any Open Antagonism Towa d Governor Blease. Condensed from the News and Courier Unless something extraordinary occurs, the members of the General Assembly wiU be at their homes some time on Washington's Birthday. The House has already adopted the Courtney resolution providing for adjourn ment on the 22nd, and, as a matter of tact, from the present outlook that will be easy of accomplishment. The only important measures that will net d consideration will be the general appropriation and supply bills, and these are not often subject to hard fight9. The way 9 and means committee is giving the situation "-most careful study, and Mr Dick, chairman of the committee, and his competent co-workers are getting everything in shipshape, There is very little prospect of a delayed adjournment, at least such i9 ^ ^ ~ j m xiuL tuc piuspeut uuw, auu suuu win not be unless something breaks loose at the last moment, and it will have to be entirely unexi cted. BETTER WORK THAN WRANGLE. Profiting by the experience of last session, when members spent much of their time wrangling, over politics and side issues and the lack of wisdom in drifting into fights, the members of the House have about agreed that if others want to do so that they, will attend to their work and accomplish what they can for the good of the State and quit at that. There has been no open friction, because it takes two bodies, one rubbing against the other, ( /% J ALyv ? ? ? - I IU VlCdlC UlUMUUi OUC CUIlSt^USUS of opinion has b|en that it is better, pefhaps, for the common good to go out of the way rather than have an unseemly fight that will accomplish no material good, and further, lhat the people will in time 9ee what is what. NO EPOCH-MAKING LAWS. There is little likelihood of epochmaking legislation, such as the passage of a general prohibition or dispensary law, the repeal of the lion law or anything of that nature. There will, of course, be a series of important matters. In fact, it is nncertain whether any of the general measures that have been passed by the House will get through the Senate, or vice versa. The most important matter that the House has done has been to pass the Rembert bill to tax water power, and perhaps the most radical enactment undertaken by the Senate is to impose an inspection tax of oneeighth of a cent on each gallon of gasoline or kerosene oil used in this State. The House has not yet considered the oil inspection bill, and the Senate is yet to act npon the proposed tax on water powers. These two are the only suggestions as to changing the tax system of the State. No effort has been started for the equalization of the assessments on property in the State. INTEREST RATE UNCHANGED. The 6 per cent legislation has been overwhelmingly defeated and will have no chance whatever of resurrection for the next year or two. It is manifest that what thp DpnnlA xrnnf ic the use of money more than the reduction in rate. The suggestion was made that a proper amendment to the proposed 6 per cent bill was to require all bankers in the State to lend their money to all applicants in miller's turn withoat regard to collateral offered. Then, and then only, was it argvi d that the proposed bill would have been effective. I WAREHOUSE BILL?ITS KATE? What will become of tiie warehouse bill? It is uncertain. It will hardir pass in its present shape. ASYLUM SITUATION*. Another question of revenue concern* the. development of State Park, aite of /the new State Hospital for tbeilR&atte. jmTIHNBEHa feah.

Tie., * ? ?/\ri n r?j > D rvll4rv nn/l Dw ii untile, i uiitc auu i i from the Senate committee with a favorable report, which gives it a fine start on the Senate side. The chances are decidedly in favor of the passage of the measure by the Senate. MEDICAL COLLEGE BILL. The Charleston Medical College bill is now in first class shape for final adoption. TJ ATT BO 4 T) T'tTFQ There has been much said about the two-cent rate bills and the bills looking to a change of the preseut mileage situation. As a result of the apparent tangle a bill has been introduced asking tor the repeal of the present law requiring railroads to pull mileage books on trains, and in this wise get back to the old system by which railroads accepted interchange ble mileage in this State. The two-cent rate bill has a divided report in the House, the majority in favor of it and the minority opposed. On the Senate side the report on the same measure is unanimously unfavorable, and that is regarded as a bad omen for the passage of any measure. employer's liability. At the beginning of the session the question of employer's liability and workingmen's compensation loomed up in importance, and the outlook was that something would be done on ' the important question. The conflict of views were so great and the possibility ci getting together so remote that the prospect now is that nothing will be done along these lines for the present and that in future some well digested plan wili be adopted. compulsory education. There is a good deal of interest b^ing taken in the compulsory education bills, but the chances are that there win be no radical legislation, but rather the gradual approach of the subject and experimenting with the plan in such counties as are more wide-awake and recognize the importance of compulsory education. Teachers9 Association. The regular meeting of the Lexington County Teachers' Association will be held in the High School building, next Satu.day morning. Thi3 meeting will be of importance and of interests to tf e rural school teacher and it is hoped that there will be a full attendance of teachers and visitors. This Association is growing in popularity and usefulness every day and every teacher should become a member. Prof. Tate, a scholarly and culture^ gentleman, fluent and of pleasing personality will address the teachers on matters pertaining to the rural schools and after the exercises a luncheon will be served to the visiting teachers. Water Works. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I want to say a word about the water works for Lexington, S. C. I think it is very much needed and will add much for progreasiveness and be a stimulant to induce interested parties to build bouses in Lexington. It will make taxes a little higher, but aL the same time reduce expenses in insurance, and "^the satisfaction it affords in knowing that life and property is better protected will suffice for the extra taxes. 0.

Hallman, Violin Maker. The News and Courier. Spartanburg, February 8,?Special: The Rev Dr Samuel T. Hallman, of this ciiy, a prominent Lutheran minister. has found an interesting and profitable pastime in the manufacture of vioiins. Although he was t?7 years old when he made his first violin it was so excellent an instrument that he found ! no difficulty in selling it for ?75. The I work was all done by hanJ, and Dr j ! Hallman fashioned the various parts ' himself. He has iust finished a violin, which, j he says, is far superior in tone and workmanship to any he has ever made before. The tone is brilliant, resonant, of far-carrying power, and of a uniform quality. The bottom was carved out of a maple bedpost, known to be 150 years old, and the top is of wood 8aid to be more than 200 years old. Dr Hallman preaches two sermons every Sunday, and has many other duties in connection with the activities of the Lutheran Synod, and makes violins in his leisure hours. He says he does not expect to ?row old so long as his hand retains its present cunning. He is a Confederrte Veteran. Dr Hallman is a native of Lexington having been born in the Sand Hill section of the county. He has a large family connection still living here who will be pleased to read the above.
