The bill providing for the organization of the new county of Greenwood was passed with but little*diflBculty. The maimer iu which the house disposed of Mr. deLoach's bill to extend the boundaries of Broad River . township is described elsewhere. Mr. Has>-ldon introduced a bill making it a penal offense for any railroad in this state to violate any of the interstate commerce laws. Mr. Garris introduced a bill to prohibit the organization of secret societies in colleges of the state. The committee on public schools ' submitted an unfavorable report on a bill to furnish school books to children at cost. A Dill to ameoa toe county government law was taken up and discussed at length; but a number of counties, including York, were exempted from its provisions. The following, howev, er, relating to the pay of commissioners and applyiug to all the counties was passed to a third reading : Section 1. "That from and after the passage of this act, the members of the board of townships commissioners provided for in an act entitled 'an act to provide a system of county government for the several counties of the state,' approved January 4ih, 1894, shall each receive as compensation for his services the sum of $1 per day, for sot exceeding five days, and mileage at 5 cents a mile, not to exceed 100 miles in any one year, and the ehair: man of said board the sum of $1.50 per day and same mileage as other members of township boards, and $1.50 . per day and mileage at 5 cents per mile in most direct route one way from his home to the courthouse when attending upon the meetings of the county board of commissioners, when the said county board is not sitting as a board of equalization : Provided, members of the county board of commissioners shall receive mileage at six different meetings in each year, and no more: Provided, further, That no member of any township or county board of commissioners shall receive more than one per diem and mileage for attendance upon one board meeting in one day. That all acts in con met who lD1S aci oe, ana tau same are hereby, repealed. A bill to exempt old soldiers from the payment of hawker's and peddler's license was passed in this shape: Section 1. That any person who was a bona fide soldier or sailor in the service of the state of South Carolina or of the Confederate states in the! war between the states, may expose | , for sale or sell, as hawker or peddler, I any goods, wares or merchandise in any county in this state, without taking out the license required by chapter XLIII, volume 1, revised statutes, i 1893, of South Carolina; provided, he make to the clerk of the court of common pleas of the county in which such goods (are to be sold satisfactory proof that he was such soldier or sailor. In the Senate.?The senate met l at 8 o'clock p. m.; but as there was * only a bare quorum present, it was decided to adjourn until 11 o'clock next ' day. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3. In the House.?The bill relating to the pay of county and township commissioner, etc., passed on the previous ^ day, was amended so as to allow 12 meetings during the year. A good portion of the day was taken up in the discussion of Josh Ashley's bill to reduce the privilege tax on fertilizer's to 1 cent a ton. The matter * finally went over until another time. Mr. Thomas' bill to provide for assessments of real estate and other property took up the remainder of the time of the house. The object is to ' correct inaccuracies and insufficieuces in the present law. Section 1 provides that in 1898 returns of real estate shall be made aud every four years thereafter. The old act does not require that the assessments shall be made every four years. Unless this section stands, there will be no assessment unless otherwise provided for. It does not change the operation of the law at. all. As to section 2, it provides when the auditor shall do his duty. Iu other words, be must make up his lists by March 1. In the Senate?Mr. Moses moved to strike out the enacting words of the house bill to require county treasurers, sheriffs, clerks, etc., to keep an itemized statement of their fees, etc. * He wished to know the object of it. Mr. Dean explained that the matter of remuneration of these officers had been brought up in his and probably other counties. The people wanted to know what compensatiou these officers got. The officers claimed that they did not get sufficient compensation, and that the publication of their * returns might enable the people to provide some better system if they knew the income of the office. 31 r. Mower was opposed to the bill, and said if it was desired to put these officers on a salary basis, a bill to that effect should be presented. 3Ir. Gaiues said that these fees were a tax, aud if they were not getting enough, the arrangements should be changed, and if they got more tbau i*-i ~ * 1.1 U.. 1 1 iair pay, me iua tuuiu ue aiuuceu. Mr. May field said that the people did uot pay their tax, but the litigants did, so far as the civil side was concerned, where the main costs came in, and the fees were liable to chauge. He thought it an injustice to make , these olficers keep their private books open. Mr. Archer said the people had a right to know. Mr. Buist said he was for the sun ' shiuiug by day and the electric lights by night on all public matters and public offices. He thought the bill the best one in the interests of economy ever introduced into the aerate of South Carolina. Mr. Mower said that the fees were fixed upon the value of the service rendered?by the officers. Mr. Moses did not see any fault with the methods followed for 100 years. He thought the effect will be only to invite rivalry for the best paying offices. Mr. Deau moved to lay the motion on the table. The ayes and nays were called, and the motion passed by a vote of 27 to 6. Mr. Mayfield offered an amendment providing Barnwell be excepted. Berkeley was also added. Notice was given of general amendments on the third reading. In the House.?Mr. Ashley's hill to reduce the privilege tax on fertilizers to oLe cent a ton was killed: Governor Evans's message vetoing the bill prohibiting the publication of the reports of county treasurers whr considered, and upon a vote, the veto was sustained. Cherokee county bill was taken up for consideration, but no action was taken. There was a long discussion of Mr. Patton's bill to redistrict the state. Mr. Patton made an able speech on the subject. The bill was amended in certain particulars and finally passed to a third reading as follows : Section 1. That the state be, and the same is, hereby divided into seven congressional districts as follows: Sub. 1. The Pee Dee district to be composed of the counties of Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington, Florence, Marion and Horry. Sub. 2. The Santee district to be composed of the counties of George- , towu, Williamsburg, Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester. Sub. 3. The Edisto district to be composed of the counties of Orangeburg, Barnwell, Bamberg, Colleton, Hampton and Beaufort. Sub. 4. The Wateree district to be composed of the counties of Fairfield, Kershaw, Richland, Sumter and Clarendon. Sub. 5. The Saluda district to be composed of the counties of Lexington, Aiken, Edgefield, Saluda, Newberry, Laurens and Greenwood. Sub. 6. The Catawba district to be composed of the counties of Spartanburg, Union, Cherokee, Chester, York and Lancaster. Sub. 7. The Keowee district to be composed of the counties of Abbeville, Anderson, Greenville, Pickens and Oconee. Sec. 2. That this act shall take effect on the 1st day of September, A. D. 1898. THOSE "LIBERAL" CHERUKEES. No Consideration For People Who Do Not Wish to Be Tied to Them. Mr. deLoath's bill to change the boundary line of Broad River township so as to take in the citizens of Cherokee who desire to remain in York county, came up in the house last Tuesday, and the Columbia State reports the disposition of it as follows: When Mr. deLoach's bill to change the boundary' line of Broad River township in York couuty was called up, Mr. Austell moved that the unfavorable report be adopted and the bill rejected. He said that this portion of the county would be included in the new county of Cherokee. Mr. Patton said that if this township bad been carried into a new county by an election, the legislature clearly bad no power to exempt auy number of miles. In this way any new county could be defeated in the iron oral useomhlv The constitution could not be so construed ; it contemplated no such thing. Mr. deLoach argued that this was not an established new county, but merely a proposed county. Mr. Stevens wanted to know if this territory was not included in the map filed for Cherokee county before the election was ordered. Mr. Pattou said no matter if the line was changed, the new county would be entitled to the territory. Mr. Johnsou explained the course of the committee, saying that the pitfall that it was proposed to establish had been seen, and both this and another hill on the same subject had been unfavorably reported. Mr. Rogers said under the constitution the geueral assembly was compelled to give Cherokee county every foot of territory proposed in the original map. The enacting words of the bill were then stricken out. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. National Hank Authorized.

An Otilchil Outrage. The Columbia police committed an outrage 011 Mr. August Kohu, of the News and Courier, in Columbia, last Thursday night. Mr. Kohu had just come out of the theatre, and a messenger handed hint a dispatch for another gentlemen who was still inside. Mr. Kohn stopped to look for the other gentlemen. There is a city ordinance which prohibits the blocking of the sidewalks. A policeman told Mr. Kohn to move on. Mr. Kohn either did not hear the order, or paid 110 at tention to it, and wa9 immediately seized by the officer. A scuffle follow ed. Several other officers were sum moned, aDd Mr. Kohu was carried tc the lock up. There the officers becamt ashamed of themselves aud released Mr. Kohu upon his own recognizance The people of Columbia who thor oughly understand the merits of the case, are reported to be highly indignant at the action of the police. ' Trying to Kill VVeyler.?General Weyler is now running a strong risk of losing his life, says a Key West, Fla., dispatch of Thursday. From a Cuban who arrived on last night's steamer from Havana, it is learned that four Texans left General Rivera's cominaftd 10 days ago and passed the trochu, bound for the front in Matanzas province, they being especially detailed to attempt the kill iii^ of Captain General Weyler. They belong to the Texas sharpshooters' company, and are armed with telescopic rifles. All are experts. When first detailed they protested, saying fhat they had come for open fighting; hut when shown the details of Weyler's brutal murders and outrages in that section, and knowing of the horrors in Pinar del Rio province, they vowed to revenge the wrongs ol the scores of innocent pacifieos slain and of the many women maltreated. News received last night, that Weyler had been shot at, convinced the Cubans here that the Texans were on the trail of the captain general. The names of the four men are known to Havana Cubans, but are suppressed for obvious reasons. A full report has been sent to the New York junta. AT THE CHURCHES. associate reformed.
