EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The legislature may adjourn this
week, and it may not. It largely depends.
It would be an easy matter to
continue to the next session all matters
not disposed of, and as this legislature
has another session there
could be no s-erious criticism of such
action. But there are certain matters
that this legislature must deal
with and dispose of. There is the
general appropriation bill, which is
still in the senate, and it must be disposed
of or the wheels of the government
will cease to roll. There is the
Rimnlv hill which deals not only with
the State, but the levy for the various
counties and must be finished or there
the machinery in the various counties, j
There is the salary bill which, of
course, could go over, but ther-2 are
various county officials who are exft
pecting their salaries raised, and then
there is the magistrates bill. All these
generally have attention before final
adjournment, and in the present status
of these measures it looks almost impossible
to expect final adjournment
this week, yet a great deal can be
done in one legislative day when it is
stretched out over two days. This is
all on the presumption that all these
measures will have *air sailing and
will not strike the snag of a gubernatorial
veto. And it is not so sure
that they will have fair sailing. If

veto any one or ali of these general
bills he will not hesitate to do so.
The house on Wednesday night
passed the bill abolishing the hosiery
mill in the penitentiary. This is an
important matter and it may take
several days to consider it in the senate.
The senate has not yet passed
the compulsory school attendance bill.
"Voifhor* >1 it naewH fho nno mill fpY I
for the common schools. The governor
sent a message in saying he would
veto the bill as it passed the house,
but there is no material difference between
the bill as it passed the house
and what the governor says will be
acceptable to him, and it would seem
that they would get together in this
matter. If it should pass it win oe
one of Ihe best pieces of legislation
that has received favorable action by
a legislature in this St?te in many a
day. There is an erroneous idea in
the minds of some people in regard
to this one mill. Some people ssem
to think that if it is distributed under
tne provisions or existing laws tnat tne i
cities and towns will get the biggest I
"portion. As a matter of fact they
will get a very small slice of the fund.
I believe in the principle that the
State should stick to the policy of
h-elping those communities that are
willing to do a little something to
help themselves.
The news columns will carry the
important matters passed upon by the
legislatur?, and it is only my purpose
to mention a few things that come to
my attention. Most of the vetoes
I

sustained by the legislature. And it
seems to me that some of the vetoes
4
that have not yet been passed upon
will also be sustained by the general
assembly.
There is just a little brewing of poli- j
tics in Columbia and several announcements
have been made for governor.
It seems to me to be just a
little nremature. A srreat manv things
j- ? - w j
may happen between now and the next |
primary cl-ection.
Just what the Newberry delegation
has done as to local affairs I could
not say. The bill in regard to condemning
land for a road has passed.
The bill authorizing Little Mountain
school district to vot^ bonds has been j
signed by the governor. It has been)
agreed to do away witn township roaa
inspectors and to increase the salary
of the supervisor and county commissioners
and to allow the auditor and
treasurer three hundred dollars each
for clerk hire. Also to let Newberry
school district- vote on levying a tax
of one mill to iliake necessary repairs
in the buildings. 1 could not find out
just what the status of the proposed
bond bill measure is, but I presume
that it will pass. The county tax levy,
I understand, is to remain the same.
E. H. A.
AS TO T1!K ASVU'M.
The bill to define the policy of the j
State as to the State hospital for th*"-!
insane, introduced by the special con mittee
to look into the matter, failed
of passage in the house on Friday j
night. i
This committee reported by bill.
The bill proposed that it was the poli
cy of the State to remove the hospital
to the property purchased in the
country and eventually to remove ihe
entire institution out there. Of course,
this will take several years. But :he
State should say whether or not it
was the policy of the State to do this,
and then the development could continue
with that aim in view.
The committee also recommended
the sale of the property in. Columbia
on which the preseut asylum is located,
which we think is the proper thing to
do, but the committee suggested the
appointment of a special commission
to take charge of the sale of the property
and named the commission and
gave the members the power of selfpetuation.
The property should
be turned over to the sinking fund
commission, mere is no iit-eu ui a
special commission. The r,inking fund
commission is for the purpose of handling
just such situations, and then the
commission is composed of State officers
who are responsible to the people
and are in Columbia, or all but
two. If the bill had contained a provision
like that it would have stood
a much better chance of passage. Then
it provided that if the commission
should sell the property in a lump sum
it should not take less than one mil
lion dollars, but if it should decide to
sell it in small lots there was nothing
in the bill to prevent them from selling
it for fifty cents. But the main
reason which possibly kept the bill
from passing was the provision appointing
a self-perpetuating ana life
tenure .commission. There couiQ be
no objection to the men named on the
nnm-micoiftn 'Kiit flip nrinrnnlp. was
WUllllIOOlV/U) k/ut .? v.r.v
wrong.
The senate has passed the bill pro-,
Tiding for the sale of the property in
Columbia, with some am-endments, one
of which is to turn the property over
to the sinking fund and in this shape
it may pass the house.
The appropriation bill, as passed by
the house, carries an appropriation

would be a great mistake and a heavy
financial loss to the State to stop the
work at this time.
' A CRIME.
It seems to us to be almost, if not
entirely, a crime to have a good roaa,
such as Mr. Feagle built between Newberry
and Prosperity, go to the bad
for the lack of just a little attention.
Nobody seems to care. It would take
a very little time and labor to keep
this road in fine repair, and yet just
now it is full of holes, and if not
given attention it will go from bad to
nrArc a o -n it \ril 1 nrvt ho onncirl ?

ered a good road. If the supervisor
would consent it would pay the automobile
owners to employ some one to
drag the road and fill up the holes.
Every afternoon it is used by the automobiles
and it would serve a selfish
motive to pay for working the
road, because the cost to have the road
worked would be less than the addi
tionai wear on the machines by not
having it worked.
^
We don't believe much in local option
compulsory education. It may
be a step toward the right thing and
we hope it will prove such, but we believe
it is carrying local option a lit
tie. too far. The trouble is the people
who most need compulsory school
attendance are the ones who will br
most likely to vote against it.
We see it stated that the Webb bill
which has just passed congress prohibiting
the shipping of liquor into
dry territory, only prohibits the ship
ping for illegal purpos-es, and it has
not been decided that the ordering of
it for personal use is an illegal purpose,
so the man who lives in dry territory
may still order for personal

Tile direct movement against Madei
10 was the result of a plot which had
!
been brewing since yesterday and
i which possibly existed with Blanquet !
j for a much greater length of time. '
From the first it had been known !
I
I that Gen. Blanquet was unwilling to
! fight. His men were of the same mind.
He held complete command over them
and it was not doubted that th-y
,
i would fellow him in any adventure,
\ which they did at the National Palace
this afternoon. f

Tho forces numbering 1,000 men, I
! which arrived late yesterday, were |

The reserves were sent into tho field.
Plot Hatched.
An agreement between Gens. Blanquet
and Huerta was reached last
! night, but the first intimation that i
j Blanquet's men had of the new role
i
j they were to play was shortly before
the successful stroke was mid*\
! Blanquet drew his men up in order
and delivered a stirring speech.
"This inhuman battle must end," lvsaid.
"The time has come when 30

son and brother is fighting against j
brother; when non-combatants are j
sharing the fate of war, and all this!
because of the caprice of one man." !
Blanquet th-en issued orders for the
arrest of the president and assigned a
detachment to that duty, rlidero was
soon a prisoner in his own rooms.

is.?lfetention of Provision
Imposing Literacy Test
Washington, Feb. IS.?The Burnett-Dillingham
immigration bill, vetoed
by President Taft been use it imposed
a literacy test upon immigrants
was passed over the President's veto
in the senate today by a vote of 72
to 18. The overwhelming majority,
given at the end of a short debate in
which President Taft's attitude was
vigorously attacked, has strengthened I
the probability that the bill will be :
passed over the veto in the house
when it is called up tomorrow.
Support of the President's position :
was voiced by only a few senators dur- 1
ing the debate. Senators Lodge and j
Dillingham, leading the fight to over
ride the president, declared the measure
contained so many important provisions
for the exclusion of criminal,
diseased and insane aliens that great
harm would result to the United
States if it did nt become law. i
HOUSE PASSES PENSION BILL. 1
:
Largrest Measure of Kind Ever Reported
<o fonarress.
Washington, Feb. 18.?The largest
pension bill ever reported to congress,
carrying appropriations aggregating
$180,300,000, was passed by the house
today by a vote of 219 to 40, with an
additional appropriation of more than "
$1,000,000.
A small number of democrats, led by
Representative Roddenberry, of Georgia,
made futile efforts to add amendments
to bar from the pension rolls
veterans naving lucumea cAiccuiug
$1,000 a year, and not entitled to pensions
on account of wounds or disability
sustained in the military ser-1
vice. I
i
As reported by the committee, the j
bill contained a paragraph providing:
that after July 1, 1913, no pension
should be paid to a non-resident notj
a citizen of the United States, ex-:
cept for actual disabilities inc.rred;
in tho cervine- A mntinn hv Renresen- :
tative Goode, of Iowa, to strike outjj
this paragraph was carried, 154 to;
112, many democrats joining with the J
solid republican minority in support j
of the motion.
It is estimated that something over !
$1,000,000 is paid annually to veterans;
who would have been barred by this |
paragraph.
