HOM IO LAWS THAT V "SEO Changes lu Gome linus-*, ->po?ed Amendments to Constitution. Editor of Courier: The recent ses sion of the General Assembly was a remarkable one in many respecte. There were more general laws pro posed than usual, and Ieee of them were finally ?cted upon than has generally been the case. It seemed that most of the session was taken up in talking. Many of the speeches were strong and effective, and all with good temper. I will try and give a short statement of the more important new laws. Wood alcohol is permitted to be manufactured with about the same restrictions that are thrown around the manufacture of spirits by the general government, lt ls said that the DuPont Powder Co. is now erect ing an alcohol plant at Georgetown at a cost of about one million dol alrs, and will utilize the sawdust from the large mills 'lhere for that purpose. This company will HBO all that they can produce in the manu facture of smokeless powder. It is ?aid that the new process that will be used will yield about one gallon of alcohol from each hundred pounds of sawdust, and that the actual cost of manufacture will be only about six cents a gallon. If this be true, there ls no good reason why such a plant could not be operated to advantage in this section of the State. The big mill at Georgetown turns out a half million feet of lumber every day, and the sawdust ls a great nuisance there. It is also said that this new process makes the wood alcohol just as good as a beverage as that made from grain unless lt is denatured ( poisoned ). It ls made a misdemeanor to muti late any monument, or fence that en closes lt, erected at any grave. Sheriffs are authorized to appoint special deputies for fairs, camp meet ings, hot suppers, "festibuls," etc., in order to preserve the peace. School districts that have hereto fore been organized including terri tory in two or more counties may disorganize by action of the boards in each county. A public service commission Is pro vided, to be appointed by the Gov ernor, who will have power, upon ap plication of the towns or cities, to fix the rates to be charged for water, gas and electricity. A chief game warden ls provided for, whose duty it ls to seo that all the game and fish laws are enforced, with a salary of $1,900, and power alco to appoint as many local war dens as be shall want. He is also allowed $1,200 traveling expenses. These salaries at present, have to be paid from the lines and other reve nues received on account, of the game laws. This mean s that there will be something doing lu the way of en forcing the game laws this year. The game season closes through out the State, Berkeley county alone excepted, for partridge? March 1st, and opens November IB th. The gun license law did not get through. The Joint resolution ratifying the 16th amendment to the Constitution of the United States waa passed. There are also several joint reso lutions that passed proposing amend ments to the State Constitution. Two of these propose to amend the con stitution so as to have live Supreme Court Justices Instead of four, as at present. Any one of the four or five Justices must necessarily go over all of the record In every case, and to Increase the number will not mate rially reduce the work that each one must do. Besides this, the Supreme Court makes too much law any way. Their opinions should be cut short In most Instances. We do not believe that there ls any public necessity to Increase the number on the Supreme Bench, but the necessity may arise In a few years to separate the crimi nal and civil business before the Su preme Court. Then will be time enough to increase the Justices. But the people will pass upon oil of these amendment? this fall In the election. There ls another proposed amend ment that will allow certain towns and cities to assess abutting property for streot Improvement, providing that the town shall pay at least one half of the cost. This means that when the land-owner ls not able to, or doea not want to. pay for tho pav ing of the sidewalks or streets In front of his property, the town may assess the cost against, his property, and make him pay or soil out. There might ho but few hardships under such a law, but \ve believe lt a better plan to lax all alike where all are permitted to enjoy the same privi leges. The hundreds of thousands of dollars piled up In the banks can more easily pay a just proportion for streot Improvement than the person who only owns a residence. Respectfully, J. H. Earle. were given, the answers to which wore the names of Presidents. Mri. J. N. Ilerndon received tho prize-a framed picture of Washington's time ?-for having answered most cor rectly. Tho hostess presented Mrs. T. E. Strlbllng with tho hatchet which Goorgo used In cutting tho cherry troo, for a burlesque written on the questions given.
