jwl VOL XLTVJE NO a NWBERRYA S. 1. FRIDAY. JANUARY 281910 YEAR GE t ASSEMBLY VISITS STATE COLGES SAFETY MATja AND DOG MUZ ZLB MBASURES KILLED. Three Weeks of Session Gone.-Ap propriation Bill, Asylum, Whis key, Yet to be Considered. Columbia, Jan. 27.-The legisla .ture reconvened :to-day, after spend ing yesterday in Charleston. The members of the general as sembly left on the, Atlantic Coast Line at ,7:30 o'cloek yesterday morn ing for Charleston, in response to the invitation t'o visit the Citaidel. Ohar leston's hospitality is far-famed, and it goes without saying that a pleas aat day was spent by those in the i arty. The chamber of commeree of i the progressive city of Sumter 'sev eral' dys ago extended the legislators an invitation, which was accepted, to stop in Sumter a short while on their i ay to Charlestqn, to meet the peo le of Sumter and to partake of i ight refreshments, breaking the mo- i notony of the trip. 4 There will be only two more days I his week for legislative work-to y and Saturday-the Clemson trip coming on Friday. This is the third week of the session. The average session being about six weeks, or forty days, it is probable fthat the on is now about half over. All he elections bave been held and the t trip i. c6ntemplation is that to emson Friday, so that there will .v nothing after this week to inter .upt the regular work. There have been no new develop- 1 ments during the past several days as ithe- expeeted fight for State-wide pt'hibition. The State-wide bills hAve received favorable reports from t mijorities of both - the house and r senate committees, aqd the fight may. 1 be precipitated at any time. The senate bill is scheduled to-day, de bate h.aving been edjourned on it un 0il this time, but on 'acount of -the fact that there will be no session Friday, and Saturday usually being I an off day,' so to speak, the bill It -may no be t'aken up until next week. Representative McMa'ha has a bill -in the house which prohibits the dvertisang in any newspaper of al-1 olie liquors or beverages which if .< k to exce;sswl pro&uce intoxi-]I rtion, or the posting of such adver- 1 i>sements in any public place. There:] Iknowa.lawO3a the statute books t1 .whieh prohibits any "'liquor -drum for whiskey for' interstate shipment, ad inthe supreme court, insc decision handed u . nTue in a M tens -ease, held tha - hMi law evntd ~he hianding out of eirculars. by repre netatives of whiskey houses. Th dMy fight brought about in either house by the bill for thes es abhishment f the new- county of illon was on. the qtestionf of wheth er Dillon should be placed in thiel: fom<rh judicial eircuit or in the ~twelfth-Marionl, from wyhieh Dillont is taken, being in the, twelfth cir-~ 1 --euit. The matter hias been threshedd out in both houses; and Dillon Soes1 intos the fourth eirenit: The diseussion of 'the State Hospi tal for t.he Insane will probably be provoked on the house bill which would submit ri the people of the V \Sate -the question of issuing bonds o the amount of $1,000,000 for the H enrpose of building two new pl;aats ene for the whites and the other for .Ah.e ,colored inmates, carrying out the rcomedationsl of the joint mnves tigating committee which -recently submitt'd its repoiet. There has been verv little expression of opinion as to this mratter on the part of the ,members so far, but the sentiment rseems t-o be in favor of liberal treat ment,.:doing. .whatever may be neces sary for :these unfortunates who are the wvards of the State. Representative D. L. Smith wants to have the board of regents of the .anm3 elected hv. the legisla'ture in stead of appointed by the governor, as at present. In oider to effect < this ehange a cnstitutional amend inent is necessary, and such an amendment is the object of a bill which Mr. Smith has introdueed in te house. Mr. Smith's idea is that i tthere should be five regents, the I boaiid being made up of two physi cians and three laymen to hold office'' for one year.and three, one of whom I shall be a physician, to hold office i for two years, the terms to be deter- a mined by lot, and the vacan.ies thereafter occurring to be filled by the legislatuee. Under this plan the t 4fo physicians on ,the boavd, would E not go out of ofAice at the same time. ( All these details, however, would I not come up tv)itil the constitutional t amendment should be adopted. The,re has as yet been no diseus- c sion on measures affecting labor in the cotton mills. Mr. Rucker, of An Ierson, has withdraw;n. his bill to re uire mills fdocking employes for de eetive cloth to turn over the eloth o the employe, -and has substituted i bill which simply prohibits dock .ng. He has another bill requiring nills demanding that employes work t time notice to give the same -time i iotice .to employes in ease of their i lischarge. Both of these bills have 0 weived unfavorable committee . re- e o6vts, but it is probable that there I vill be a fight for their passage. New dormitories for two of the a state's educational. institutions are d ontemplated by bills introduced in 0 he senate. enatr Graydon's bill, i ts has been stated, would appropri- a te $40,000 for a new dormitory for e he South Carolina. wiversity, and .a senator Lide, of Orangetburg, has a e )ill to approriate $20,000 this year C id $20,000 next year for a new dor nitory for the State colored college, O tt Orangeburg. This letter 1dormi- b ory is designed to replace the dor- Y nitory .which wasi burned, and the ,e >i1 is. in line with the recomme,da- b 'ions of the trustees. The bills looking towards the im- f >rovement of the highways of the tate h-ave not yet been eonsidereid. P ['here are. some important bills along his line which will come up for ,onsideration-. The Ha:rmon bill to require dogs ~ lot confined, to be muzzled except eben hunting or in personal eharge * f the owner, or agent of the owner, is been k.illed by t.he house. -This, pill was stapported by the whiole ~ewherry 'delegation -in the house, he Newberry idelegation urging it ast measure which would prevent thie ;pread of rabies and proteet t~he ~hi-lren, The amate killed the Harmon bill o pohibit the manufacture, sale, or ise of matches other~ than, safety na~tehes. The hbilj provoked quite a' *ively discussion, and petition,s were b >resentedi from Columbia merebants irging that thne b~i be illed.a The bi-ll making it a misdemeanor or owners or keepers of pool or bil iard rooms to allow minors under e age of 18 years to play pool or )illard; in their establishmen'ts, or o frdquenibct~ later {h4rein4, hats ~assed fina:1 rea'ding in the senate t id been sent to the house. As pass- n dy the bill exempts social clubs r hieh do not eherge for the game. I Representative 1Rucker, of Ander ion, has introduced a bill in the ou~se .to require the State ~treasurer to -hol all moneys .turned into ,the treasry subjeet to the disposal by the present legisla';ure. There are a number of matters which may take a considerable time to dispose of, and it i's probable that niht sessionis will be the rule from this time on. I't can not as yet be1 dfinntey sitated when the ways and means committee will report 'the ap propriation and sipply bills, but it is the desire of the committee to get them in as soon, as possible. E~x-Solicitor .Juliu.s E. Boggs, of Pickens. was in attendance upon the sesio of th geral assembly last ight. Mr. Boggs is a eandidate for ongress from the thid. congressional istrict. Representative W. W. Dixon, of Tairfield, may be a. -andidalte for 'ailroad commissioner this summer. 'is name has been mentioned in I oiv:ection with .the position, and t Qwen asked about the matter, while i ie 1did not state that he was hi the I -ace, he did not deny that he had )een considering it. It has been getting more ti<d more he custom, in South Carolina to re lect judges who are ftithful and i apable, aid. it is worthy of note e hat yesterday an associate justice of he supreme court and six circuit N udges-half of the circuit judges of he State-were reo.leeted without r rpposition.
