rted by Senator Howard Carlile,
of Spartanburg, the chairman of the
committee.
Senator Carlisle is not discouraged
by the unfavorable report of a part
of his colleagues on the committee.
The matter will be fouight out on the
floor of the senate, and the Spartan
burg senator believes that the resolu
tion will pass.
6 It is expected that the merger res
'lution will occasion one of the pret
tiest fights of the session.
Divided on Marriage Question.
If the report of the judiciary com
mittee on the marriage license bill
is any indication of the sentiment of
the senate that body will be divided
as last year, on the marriage license
bill. There was a favorable majority
i-eport by Senator Carlisle anl an un
avorable minority report by Senator
A,
,obert Lide, of Orangeburg.
There were two unfavorable reports
s follows: The circus bill of Sena
or- Wharton was reported unfavor
ably, and Senator Summers' "pure
legislators" bill met the same fate.
Chattel Mortgages.
Mr. Mars, of Abbeville, introduced a
bill similar to the one killed last
year. The bill provides that no .prop
erty shall be sold under chattel mort
gages during March, April, May June,
July and August without written con
sent of the mortgagor, unless such
mortgage shall mature during said
months.
Employers' Liability.
Setnator Croft Friday introduced- a
liability measure that is of general
interest. The bill makes +he railroads
responsible for death or injury to
employees on account of alleged neg
ligenceeeft~ih machinery and like
causes.
"Tke fact that the employee may
Vve been guilty of contributory neg
ligence," says the bill, "shall not bar
recovery," but the <bill goes on to
y that the jury shall diminish the
ict in accordance with the amount
of negligence the enployee exhibits in
sustaining injury.
! The bill also provides that contri
butory negligence shall not aid the
railways -when the common carriers
violate any of the statutes, State or
Federal, as to safety appliances.
In this event, also, the employee,
-under the bill, shall not be held 'to
have assumed the risk.
Express Company Jerked Up.
The Southern Express company is
eirked up a bit in Senator Summers'
bill prescribing rates over express
company lines for* goods other than
money. The bill defines the several
tariffs, including general merchandise,
then peirishables, etc., and goes fully
into tables showing the rates that may
be charged.

the r tes peer hundred pounds are fixed
as follows: Twenty miles, 30 cents;
forty miles, 40 cents; sixty miles, 50

wful for senators to represent
lic service corporations and the
1 is of wide importance. The, pen
