THE SENATE KILLS PROIBITION BILL THE APPROPRIATION BILL TO BE LARGEST EVER REPORTED House Favors 'State-wide Measure. To.. Have right Over Again in Senate. Special to The Herald and News. Columbia,. S. C., February 3.-The house to-day .kililed the compusory education hill. The senate after a very heated dis oussion passed to the third reading Senator Graydon's bill requiring rail roads to Dceept mileage an the train; instead of requiring that the milage be exdhanged for tickets. Another fight will be made on this bill when it is taken up as a third reading biT. . Jno. K. Anl. Special to Herald and News. Columbia, Feb. 3.-The State-wide prohibitiori!- hill has be6n killed by the serate. - The house, however, has passed a bill identieal in its provis ions to the bill which met its death in the senate; .add the senate - must take aiother vote on the measure -which it has- already killed. There is hardly any possibility of a ehange of sentiment in -the senate, and in all likelihood State-wide prohibition has been finally defeated. so far as the present general assambly is ..con oerned. Quick Death in the Senate.' Quietly' at effeietually, without diassion,~ consmning in 'the slaugh ter only the short time necessary to eaU "the roll, the senate an Tesday nig* kille the State-wide prohibi io'bigby a .-vte of 22.to. 1. Two ofpthe- senators were paired, so that the eal result was 23 to 19-the. full strength of the senate. Discussion of the House. Notwithstanding this action on the part of the senate,) however, the house a few mintes' later took up the simil:ar house -bill and practioally >the whole night session of the house was consumed in a 'fiibuster in a .small way by the opponents of -the measure, the house. finally - passing the bill by a vote of.58 to 42. The ,news -of the depth of the bill in the senate had already been hieadr by 'the 'house members before. the, 'honse bill was readhed, but' the :hibi-tonists in the house w~anted to. put the house on record, anal weh'e also~ probably inspired by the old ~ adg e t'hat while there is life there is hope. By passing the measure in the 'house the senate will have another chia1ce in a vote on the hlouse bill, and thel .prohibitionists of the- house" were fighting to the' last dithe. * Quick Work Byr Senate. The biRl was .reaelied in the seriate immediately after the consideration of third reading bills. The senate met at 8 o'clock, anid before'8:30 theI matters abiaad~ of 'the measure' had' been disposed of and the ~bll killed. When it was rea0hed on the ealend&ar] Senator Sinkler of Charleston moved, 1o- table the bill, a motion which is not debatable. The ayes and ays Lwere immediately called for. S4a tor Sinkler was requested to with draw h.is motion in order to allow discussion, but the chair ruled that, the ayes and nays having been call ed for, the motion to table could not ~be withdrawn8 esleept by unanimous consent. Senator Smith of H'amipto objection to the motion being waiih drawn, but later, 'at the request of some of the senators, withdrew his objection. Senator Graydon, of Ab beville, then ohjeczed and n.nanimous consent for. the' withdmaal of the motion to table not being grante'd, the roll was called. The Vote. The vote on the motion to table was as follows: Yeas (to kill the bill)-Senators Appelt, Bates, Clifton, Croft, Gray don, Hardin, Harv,ey, Hough, Kelley, MeCown, McKeiith.an, Montgomery, Mckenfuss, Rainsfold, Sink]!r, Smith, Spivey, Stewart, Townsend, Wasker, Weston, Williams-Total, 22.'

Senator Rog- h ers woul have voted nay (for th6 s b:jj), and Senator Chrisi-nsen would p have voted aye ('to kill the bil). li In the House. k When the bill was reached in the f house Mr. Richards, whose name it n bears, said that, notwithstanding the n fact that the senate had killed a sim ilar bill, he wanted the house to act. 9 Mr. Sawyer wanted to adjourn de- p bate for a week, but this was killed t by a vote of 63 to 37. Mr. Duvall said that it was 'a farce to debate the t bill, the senate having already acted. f The previous question - was then g moved, which 6vould cut off all de- I bate. Mr. McMahan wanted a de- I bate on the measure and on the pre vious question he demanded the roll I eall. y a vote of 64 to 32 the house < ordered the previous question. Mr. I Browning wanted to take a recess of < 15 minutes, but this was voted down. Mr. Ayer said that .tutting off de bate was putting a gag law into ef feet, and that it was an outrage. A -harleston Amendment. Mr. Cosgrove had an amendment E providing that the law should go into effeit on January 1, 1911, in sbead of April of this year. He said that Ch2fleston had $200,000 involv eld, and if there was any danger of ithe bill becoming a law some little time would be needed to effeet t eipge. In the section of the pminted bilf which put the la* into effect in April, 1910, the word April occurred on one hne and the year < on te next line. Mr. Oogrpve's a first am'endment 'was to strike .6ut April' and. insert Jammary. s 1isC amendei't Was carred by a vote of 61 to 45.

Mr. Cosgrove' then had an I amendment to reduce 'the license of it etail di-uggists handling pure alcohol I from $5,000 to $1,000 per year. This < was killed,by a vote of 49 to 34 and 1 Mr. Cosgrove 's next amendment, to give violatirs of the law the altera- I -tive of a fine was also -kie&ll -The- i .1ill was.then oidered to 'a. thiir4l reading by a vote of 58 to. 42.' Many BoU Calls. There was roll call ifter'roll elR. I %Thre wes neve~r any doubt about the 3 pssage of othe bill by the, house. ' *The- opponents of dte measure in 2 *the' -senate say that the vote in' tie- ' senate Tuesday night was a true test a of- the sentiment of the sen!ate; and I that when the house 'sends over its a .bil' t wiR mreet th2e same fate as the semte bill Practically the only surprise in tah whole matter was the 'short time 'taken 'by the senaEte in disposixg of the' bill. -.-Passes Final Reading. The measure pased final reading in thie housy of representatives Wed ~,nesday lnorning and was gnt, to the senate, so that 'the senate, wnieh by a 'majority of. four killed a"biV' identicalby th~e same in its pr'ovisions 'will have another chance to act upon it - Mr. McMaflan of Columbia oppos ed the bil', urging that the compr~o mise of last year was binding, and that a referendum to the people was almost sacred. The only possible ground for disregarding the refer endum, he supposed, was the conten tion of the mijority in the 'house that bease it was a referendun to the several counties and not to the Sitate at large, that it was not bind- ' ing, ut the general assemibly bad by solem~n act decided upon a referen dum to 'the coanties, and it was not r calculated to reflect credit upon d general assembly to create the belief that its decision had been made without thinking That it was reson a'ble and would have some effect and some standing. To pass this bill now. he sa.id, would be to place a co.trary, illogical and unbecoming record into the history of South Carolina. Another view whieh he urged was that the county was the proper unit to decide as to a policyI so deeply concerning the habits, mode of lif and seceial conditions c its cities and towns. It was far etter, he said, for the enforcement f a prohibition law to let the cou4 7 vote it upo4 itself rather than ave prohibition forced upon it. He poke of the whiskey now flooding ruhibition counties and said he be eved the only remedy was action y congress looking towards modi ying the present interstate com ierce laws, so as to give the State iore control. Mr. Wade, of Aiken, made an ar. ument against the bill, saying that ,rohibition was a failure wherever it ad been tried. r. Simins, of Edgefield, said if he prohibitonists did not try tO oree prohibition they would aahieve ,Teater results. Education - and th e uilding up of publi senfiment was he remedy, 'he said. Mr. D. L. Smith saw mo reason fot ur6er discusson, the measure. un loubted-ly having a majority in the Lose, and -he moved 'the previons luestion. Mr. Riehards said it 'ad been in innated that the prohibitonists were fraid of a discussion, and he did iot want the m6tion 'to eut off disens. ion to come from 'the prohibition ide. There were several request for Ar. Smith to withiraw his Mio i, >ut he refused, and biy avote.of 5 :o 33 -the previdas question was or lered. ByavOte iof60O 36.
