Columbia, Jan. 10.?When the second session of the present legislat-ure convened in Columbia on Tuesday at noon the house and the sen ate were confronted with very heav\ calendars containing bills which were continued1 from the last sesion. The house calendar showed one hundred and eighty-live I?i 11 . and 11 great many of them will be killed whenever consideration is given then: On Wednesday il was decided lo u<" over III.- house calendar and sec if il would 11 oI be possible lo ?*limin:i(<> ?i number of these hills. ;ind as :i result thirty-four were withdrawn I'roni the t iles of I lie house and six wero recommit led. which slill leaves a calendar with which to start this session of (?nc hundred and fortv-tiv. bills. The c.igros-dmj" dojia r! in mi I wa.flooded with in u mea urcs. <) 11 Tuesday and 011 Wednesday these he'.gan t< pour into the hopper of the house ami they will continue to pour in for the next several days. The hill lo repeal the lion law ha* been introduced and, as at- the lasl session, il will pass I lie house am the opinion prevails that it will als( pass |ho senate at this session. There are at least a dozen bills proposing various solutions of the labor contract law. It is hoped that out of the multitude of laws there may be evolved some measure which will solve Ih'n problem and mecl the requirement;and devires of those who are interested in the question id' labor eontracts. Il seems that something i? absolutely necessary along this line In my next letter 1 will endeavor t<" outline some of the propositions whicT have been mad,- to solve the question There will also he a nunvber of prohibition measures presented, and there seems lo be little doubt. that- the house will pass some sort of Slate prohibition measure, especially if Ihe prohibitionists themselves can agree on some one proposition looking1 t< Stale prohibition. 1.1 talking wit 1 some <d' the senators, they seem te think thai the senate will not ajp/c". on any State prohibition measure Governor Ansel in his annual iocs sane, while slating that he was a pro hibilionist himself, approves the lo c-al option measure, which was pass ed at the lasl session of the legisla lure and which is known as the Carey Cot bran law. The most important matter, i seems to me, which I his legislatur will have to deal with is to keep th appropriation bill within bounds, s as not to increase the State levy be vond what, it was last year. 1 undei stand that Comptroller (Seneral done estimates that il will lake about $1 '100.000 to meet the expenses of th State government for this year. A the last session the appropriation hi was something less than this figun If the appropriation should ainonii to this sum for this year il will h necessary to make the State levy fiv mills, and that will be scarcely sul ficient. (iovernor Ansel recommends an ii crease in the levy of.tiwo mills to pr< vide for placing the State on a eas l>a?is and to avoid the necessity 0 "borrowing money, as has been don for several years, to meet the iuteres 0:1 the public debt. It is not at a probable that the present legislatur will adopt the recommendation c Governor Ansel. ICvery department of the govort luent is asking for more money, an there seems to be no end to the de mauds, It is argued by those cor IroMing our State institutions, espe cially our institutions of higher lean insi', that the St a Iis growing, that tii institutions are growing, and th;i then is need for move money lo me. the demamls of this growth. The South Carolina uiiivcrsit last year got an appropriation < $10,000 lo build homes for the profe: sors, and no doubt they will ask* f< more money again this year. Wi. throp eolleee was niven $'20,000 la. y >ar. for the p?r. pose of building pvacixo selio d. Now they come I'o ward and ask for .-onielhing like $(>(1 000 to build more dormitories, an the members of the logis'ai lire ha\ been flooded with letters from your ladies throughout the Slate urgii this rppivprial'ou. and making tl statement the ^l:i'e i- 1 ( iloii for its gi"ls anything in proporlii to what it is doing for its boys.
