THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS NOW NEARING CLOSE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1). against it. The bill was taken up out of its order on the motion of Mr. Browning soon after the house con convened Tuesday morning. The opposition to the bill dwindled and almost died out when it was seen that the house was disposed to accept the amendment putting the office at the bestowal of the voters instead of providing for making it elective by the general assembly. Mr. Searson's amendment provid ing for the present commissioner to hold office until January 1, 1913, was adopted by a vote of 58 to 38. The bill as amended was passed to third reading. No Biennial Sessions. Mr. Charles in the hogse defended the bill seeking to provide for bien- i nial sessions, and had gone to consid erable trouble to get data. He found that only six States now held annual sessions. The general tendency, he urged, was towards sessions at long er. Intervals. The State would save $75,000 to $100,000 by providing for biennial sessions. Mr. Mitchum said that it was a foregone conclusion that the resolu tion would be killed, but he favored the plan. The people voted 3 to 1 in favor of biennial sessions. South Carolina is one of the few States with annual sessions. Mr. Beamguard fa "ored the resolution and Mr. Bowman opposed it at this time. The resolu tion was killed by failure to receive the necessary two-thirds vote. The record was 57 to 45 in favor of bien niial sessions. $100,000 SUPREME COURT ROOM. Senate Passed Measure to House Tuesday Morning-Large Amount Appropriated The senate Tuesday morning pass ed the bill authorizing the erection of a supreme court building. This measure carries an appropriation of ,$100,000. A commission, composed of the governor, the chief justice, attor ney genereal, a member of the senate and of the house, is empowered to select an architect and contract for the erection of the building. Senator W. L. Mauldin intrVuced this bill on January 11. This measure was debated. *Some of the members thought that the finances of the State would not allow further expenditure of money; *.that the appropriiation tbill carries nearly $2,000,000 and should not be increased. Mr. Mauldin said that the supreme court is now crowded and can .not do good work, on. account of lack of room, and he contended that this is a step in the <4iTection of econ omy. The. other State officers will then have sufficient room in the State house for their offices. The bill passed third reading and was sent to the house by a vote of 26 to 8, the members of the senate cast Relieves Backache Instantly Sloan's Liniment is a great remedy for backache.

The house on Wednesday morning spent two hours in passing about sixty-eight bills, so that they will go to the senate, or will be addressed to the engrossing department for en- t rolment as acts. Aside from the consideration of the t third reading bills and mattters that i are in dispute between the two f branches, the one important matter I taken up was a bill that had been left over from last year by Mr. Hill, of If Colleton. It appears that under the c present system of taxation timber is t included with the land, and the corn-) plaint is made that a great deal of valuable timber is not now paying t taxes. The bill that was passed to E the third reading Wednesday in the house proposes to tax the timber in. dependently of the land. The sug- s gestion was made that this would im- It pose an additional burden upon theI 1 landowner, who had in most instanc es contracted to pay the taxes on the land and timber until it was cut. AL. f all events, the bill has passed the r house and will gn to the senate. WOULD RUN FOR GOVERNOR e t Should Blease Veto Warehouse Bill, M1cLaurin Quoted. Columbia, Feb. 14.-The statement is made that Mr. J. L. McLaurin, who is the particular champion of the State warehouse 'bill, by invitation ap peared before the conference commit-) tee to give his views upon certain of t the pending amendments. After the conference, it is stated 1 that a friend of Mr. McLaurin asked i him what would happen if Governor t Blease should veto the bill, whereup on Mr. McLaurin stated that he would announce his candidacy for governor, so that he might go into every cour :y in the State and make the issue upon the said warehouse bill, which he has advocated for some time. KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT. Gov. Blease Interviewed on Alleged Break With Mlayor Grace. Columbia,' Feb. 12.-Gov. Blease was asked today what there was, if anything in the report that there had been a break between himself . and ~ Mayor Grace, of Charleston. The I governor said that he had seen an article in the newspapers about it, but that he had paid no attention to it, because he knew nothing of -it,' and, so far as, he was concerned, that there was no' difference in the rela tions between himself and Mayor Grace. He was asked if he had had i any communication with Mayor Grace that might have led to this inference and stated that he had had no com-, munication by letter with Mayor Grace since his induction into office, either to or from bhim. Governor Bleas~e was asked if there had been any breach on account of1 any promise that had been made, or that had been credited to him, and Governor Blease stated that he had a never broken a promise to Mayor Grace or anyone else, and he knew I nothing whatever of any break, ind had been altogether too busy to pay. any attention to the idle talk, as he called it. JUDGE LEAVES BENCH I TO THRASH DETRACTOR! 2 Applies Fistic ,Skill to Punish Con- f tempt, Then Steps Back and Con- t tinues Court Midland, Texas, Feb. 13.-Recalling a the days of Roy Beau, the famous jus- c tice of the peace, who .a number of years ago was known as "All the Law f West of the Pecos," Judge J. H. t Knowles of the commissioners' court I here today laid aside his official dig- r nity long enough to engage in a fistic c battle. During the session Judge Knowles, presiding, made. an assertion regarding a previous ruling of the ; court. Inasmuch as the commission- e ers' court is a county tribunal of con- a siderable importance in the county, i comments on it.s ruling are not to be, lightly made, even by the presiding I justice. So thought Commissioner!3 Jule Driver, who was present. No t sooner had the offending remark been r made than he rose and exclaimed: f "You are a liar, Judge." The court did not hesitate. i XCITEMENT IS RAPIDLY SPREADING iew Root Juise Medicine Apparently Creating the Sam: Interest and Enthusiasm Here That it Has Elsewhere. If one can judge by the crowds that re almost continually swarming the f rug stores to investigat. and par base a supnly cf the new Root Ju:c"3, ledicine which for the past few I reeks has been creating a sensation all parts of the State, our home. eople are fast becoming as enthus istic over it as those of other places which it has been introduced. So many reports of the most as nishing cures effected by Root uice have been published and so iuwh has been said of the excitement e medicine has created in other et >s, it is not strange that local suf erers from indigestion, belching, ains after meals, loss of appetite, ervousness, backachss, weak kid eys, sleeplessness, tired, wornout eeling id other similar ailments for 7hich it is recommended should be nxious to follow the examples of hose who, claim to have been almost airaculously cured by its use. At the drug stores it is said that he sale of Root Juice has far exceed d all expectations and although here is still a good stock on hand ome fear is entertained that there 7ill not be enough to surpply the con tantly growing demand, for it is said hat the maiz laboratories at Fort Vayne, Ind., are working to their ullest capacity and are still far be ind on their orders. Good reports are still coming in rom those -who have purchased the aedicine and stories of some truly tartling results right here in town - an be heard every day. The medicine can now be had at I ,ny good drug store or can be ob ained by writing to the Root Juice ,aboratories at Fort Wayne, Ind. ,arge bottles holding "early a pint pst only one dollar. .nnounced Judge Knowles, "until I hip the man who just now called me liar." Then it happened. Those who wit essed the fight say the judge scored he gr.eatest number of pugilistic oints. A few minutes later the judge, econvened court, fined himself for ighting and paid the fine. The court i hen went back to work and its dig ity was not further ruffled. * * * * * * * * .* * * * * * * * * * I * AT THE THEATRE.* * CJoming Attractions.. February 27-The Cow and the keoon.
