C., jan. 22.-The new dispensfry investigating commit-' o appointed uOder the resolution of nator Christensen, of the fo'mer t mitted' whidh ha been probing o things for the past two years, s been organized for business with enator Christensen as chairman nd Representative Rucker as secretary, which is natural, inasmuch as a ma jority of the committee is anti-dig pensary for the reason that the house, being anti-dispensary two of the members of that body were appointed from the majol-ity faction, and one r-epresenting each faction from the senate. Messrs Christensen and Rxcker are \both strong anti-dispei sary advocates. The other hopse mem bers of the committee are Messrs. lichards and Carey, the* former -a recognized dispensary leader, and the latter seeing after the constitutional fortifications of the dispensary bill, for w.hich the anti-dispensary forces are now generally lining up. The new committee was made necessary by the doubt as to whether the old committee authority under the Blease resolution of two sessions back' has expired. The new committee is appointed for a special purpose and is to re port back within ten days from the passage 9f the resolution. This will hold up All dispensary legislation un til the latter part of this week, when the report is expected. The commit tee is to look into the changes brought by Commissioner Tatum to the effect that the present board has been over stocking the dispensary with great quantities of unsaleable goods in violation of law and against the com missioners advise and repeated pro tests. The committee has decided to do its investigating behind closed t doors with even the newspaper men excluded, so nothing definite will be known of the committees work until its report is handed in to the gener al assembly. In the meantime the dispensary battle at the capitol will be postponed, with a general skir mish line thrown out by both sides. Outside of this incident there has been nothing of striking importance done by either branch of the law imaking body though some good steady - work has been done in each house 'and perhaps not a little effective work has been done on the streets, in the committee rooms, in the hotel lobbies and elsewhere on the quiet. In fact it is in these places that the real work of the session goes on. The Frost resolution calling for an inter-session joint committee to in vestigale va-rious phases'of the rail road problem as it affeets this state is on top, as it were, for discussion in the house next week, being put on the ''continuous'' ordeir of the (lay. It is expected that the result will be a suspension01 of rafilr'oad leislationi otherwise. And in ease the Frost res olution pases it is logicanl to presume that no railroad legislation will be enacted this year-awaiting the re port of the committee to be appoint ed under the terms of resolut,in. Outside of passing puriely local bills --some too~ local for men tion-intro ducing new bills and otherwise giving vent t.o a. hot air spleen, the Senate has done lititle since my~ last let ter. There have b)een commit tee repor'ts on some imp)ort ant measures, among them a bill to amend the libel lawv so as to make a correction of an error at olffense in a libel snit--this bill be ing inispired by two Charlehston cases of note and notorietyv. TI'he report was unfa vorable, and unless t he Gten eral Assembly can be made to see the matter in a different lig'ht it will be killed. This is wvhere the politicians even upon the newspap~ers a bit for not telling on 'em wvhen they leave the city. Among the interesting discussions of the p)ast week wvas that on the gambling bill introduced in the sen ate by Senator Chrouch. The senate passed the bil however cutting out the only thing which he contended for, that of the imprisonment, which he desired to be not less than sixty days. The bill as passed, by the Senate seeks the same law as former ly with the exception that provision giving -half the time to the informant is eliminated, the argument being that Ilegroes enticed others into gambling with the end in view of getting half the fine imposed. The house passed an anti-coceine bill,. Making the sale of the drug ii misdmeaor,with a heavy penalty, exetby proseription and under the personal supervision of a physician. Tbe house also passed Representative Richards bill providing for, a prac tise sehoole. at Winthrop 'college, The bill carries an ap~iprprition of twen thitbtsand dollars, but friends have 00 oild 8ts wil have a4coWoao o4b6ve the .nunber..noNy being a ondated there.
