The House Organized.
Columbia, Jai. 10.-The house of
representatives of South Carolina met
today at noon. It promises to be a
karmonious and business-like session
f the popular 13ranch of law-makers.
The most dis::inctive 'feature of the
ession today was the inspiring and
loquent address of Mr. M. L. Smith,
f Kershaw county, in expressing his
.ppreciation of the high honor con
erred on him in his selection as
peakqr.
The greater portion of the day was
pent in the organization of .the house.
here is a great deal of detail in per
reting such an organization as the
ouse, -but when the start is correctly
lade the .machinery runs smoothly.
Brst the 124 members have to be
~worn into office, then eacha signs the
yll of memibers; then a speaker has
o be selected; 'then a clerk and so on,
ntil there is the drawing for seats.
The minautest detail was carried out
>day. Under the constitution all elec
ons must be viva voce and -each!
temiber must go on record as to how
e vot'es. There ca i be no moving to
aspend the constitution and let the
~peaker or some one else cast the
rte. All elections must be "wide
pen," so to speak, and the roll ca,
ie recording of each individual vote
ad the an.nounements all consume
me, but there are times when this
ethod of voting has its virtues, and
me is not a consideration.
Much m~ight be written arbout the
ersonnel of the members, but the
w-making 'body of this State is, in a
-ord, representative of the best type
)fcitizenship of South Carolina. Good
d- honest men have come here to
rve the best interests of their people.
here are old and young men in .the
)dy, doctors, lawyers, bankers, mer
ants, but more than all others are
e farmers--the substantial and
rospering land-owning class of the
~tate.
Smith's Election Unanimous.
Mr. Stven.enson, of Chesterfield, an
ther former speaker, had the 'honor
f nominating Mr. M. L. Smith, who
as unanimously elected.
There are three former speakers
ho are members of the house, all of
.honf1 have worn the robe ,of the
~peaker within the past fifteen years.
Another not:eworthy fact - is that
1ere is no evidence or known ill feel
g of a personal or political nature
etweern any of the members. All of
he 124 memb-ers are Democratic, an<d,
f course, are white. It has been
any years now since the entire mem
~ership of the house' has been Deon

reading test for the two candidates
for reading clerk. This 'furnished some
amtsement, and the contest was spir
ited betwe6n Mr. S. McGowan Simkins,
of Edgefield, and Mr. J. Frank Epps,
of Greenville. They both read bills,
newspaper extracts and even Jokes.
After the reading contest Mr. Sirakins
received 64 votes and Mr. Epps 51.
Mr. Simkins was iworn into office.
Mr. J. S. Wilson, for sergeant-at
arms, naturally met with no opposi
tion, having proven a high class and
energetic officer. Mr. Wilson was
elected after he bad been handsome
ly nominatedby Mr. Hines, of Lancas
ter, the home of Mr. Wilson.
-After the election cf Mr. Wilson
the dinner bells were heard in the dis
tance. Two o'clockshad been sounded
and many memnbers thought it best to
go to dinner and return to the house
to perfect the organization at 4
o'clock, and this was agreed to.
Afternoon Session.
At the afternoon session of the
house tb@ Rev. R. N. Pratt, of Colum
bia, was elected chaplain. He was op
posed by the Rev. G. H. Pooser, but
the house reelected its former chap

The house accepted the invitation of
the University of South Carolina to
attend Founders' Day exercises. Dr.
S. A. Knapp and others will deliver -
addresses. The exercises begin on

The house, on motion of Mr. Ma
gill, invited James Henry Rice, Jr., to ~
deliver an addrness on the 'proposed
game la~w license on Friday, the 13th. c
There was much discussion about
the adoption of the rules by which the a
ways and means and judiciary com
mittees were to be restricted to twelve
members. Mr. Brice wanted the mem
bers of these committees to be allow
ed to serve on other committees. The
house refused to amnend the rule and1
