Tho Senator from Aiken is the only one, so far. who has manifested a de sire to speak on the question. Tho measure ponding is ?i resolution to submit (he quest ion lo a vote of the people at tin- next general election in 1 ii I 8. The whiskey bill now pending in Hie Senate is one to limit the amount of whiskey that can he shipped into tho Stale to one person, to one quart a month, and dieu only by men above the age ol' 'J I vears. or Ibo beads of families, and upon a license to be ob tained from an ofllcor, based on a v ory st ringent a flldavtt, I Tile Senator from Lexington lias introduced a hill lo repeal all laws allowing free tuition in colleges of the State, but this hill lias not as yet been reported on by the committee. My hill to systematize the police of the county bas passed the Senate and is now pending in (he House. Mr. lluclis has a hill pending in the House to Investigate and audit the Ocouee county olllecs, and Mr. Mason has one to abolish Hie Old Sol diers' llonie in Columbia and put tho inmates on I lie pension roll in Class "A."
