Columbia. Feb. 16.?The customary iO days in which it had been hoped the legislature would be able to finish its work will expire with the end of this week, but it seems now that a week longer will be required to reach final adjournment. The house will take up the appropriation bill today, and Chairman Dick, of the ways and means committee, will push the measure through as soon as possible. In a special message to the general assembly on Saturday, Gov. Biease said that, to his utter disgust, surp ise and disappointment, he had unA ? ^ A * o > t? An\A momhorc r?f tVio UUi diuuu L1.U.C OSJIU*^ mv^ai uui o W* u;e..eral assembly had suggested that an adjournment be taken next Saturday, and then come back, in order that. 1 tile governor might catch up wi;j his | work. The governor said he had al- i ways prided himself 011 theN fact of keeping his work well in hand, and tbat he had been complimented on this by both sides. He said that when he aiul his secretary ana stenog:apher went home every nig.it their desks J onrl rVmt nnHiino- w'as rav X C ViVUilf HA4U 4*w bM?a>Q ?. WM> ried over in the governor's office from J one day to another unless :t were some matter in regard to wliicn additional information would have to be secured, it made no difference to him, he said, when the legislature adjourned, that he had never delayed any legislature, and he wanted it understood that his office was up with it'o work. During this session every Act has been disposed of by the governor's office on the same day it was received, and on Saturday 42 acts were turned ^ r\ ? nto f a MTifKin U\tJi IU lilt,* OICILC: ? itlllll f an hour a:;a a half after they were re- i i c-eived by the governor's office. The Iiitr Job. The big job before the legislature i i now is the appropriation bill. A sum- j mary of the measure as introduced by the ways and means committee is given elsewhere. The bill carries an appropriation of ?2."),000 to begin the erection of a State f tuberculosis hospital under the sunprvis'nn of the State board of health. Wint'.irop college is given $30,000; ? For a gymnasium on condition that it j ?aise $35 000 from other sources. I: is understood the college already has a large sum in hand. For the State institution for the deaf, dumb and :)lind at Cedar Springs, $40,000 is provided for new building and equipment. The South Carolina industrial school is given $40,000 for new buildings and squipment and the total appropriation for the South Carolina Medical college, a new State institution, is $34,500. The bill increases the appropriation for the State Hospital for the Insane jv $50,266, of which $20,000 is to pay he deficit of 1913. One of the big increases in the appropriations is caused by the fact that 1914 is election year. The appropriation for elections is $4r?,78o as compared with $9,350 in 1913. The bill carried about $270,000 for :he support of the public schools. This approDriation is made with the proviso that it shall not become availlble if the senate passes the one mill :ax bill now pending. The appropriation for the University )f South Carolina is cut a few thousand, as compared with 1913. Long Session of House. The house cf representatives was in session until 3 o'clock on Saturday Lite moon, and then adjourned uniii his afternoon. The senate adjourned "riduy night until tonight. Saturday's session of the house was taken up argelv with local matters. The Sanlers bill, aimed at driving houses of 11 fame out of South Carolina by the )rocess of injunction, and the measure ipplying the piovisions of the Mann vhite slave Act tc this State, passed ' ;heir third reading and went to the ;enate. The Sanders measure passed jhe house after a very stubbcrd fighi The Fortner Bill. The Fortner bill to prohibit whites j' from teaching in negro schools, will no doubt be stubbornly contested in the senate this week. This bill has been the object ot' more discussion, both in the general assembly and throughout the State, by the people generally than any other measure which has been before this general assembly. Anti-Alien Hill Killed. The anti-alien land bill, wnlch provides against the acquiring of any land by Japanese or other foreigners, was killed in the senate, wtihout discussion. The measure was killed at the request of its author, following the failure of a similar bill to pass in the lower house of the general assembly. A. roll call was not demanded Senator Stuckey, who had charge of the anti-alien land bill, explained to the senate that as the house had al* ready killed a similar bill, he would ask the senate to lay his bill on the table, which was done ana me matter ended. For Panama Exhibit. By the narrow margin cf one vote the bill providing an appropriation for an exhibit from South Carolina for the Panama exposition in San Francisco in 1.915 passed the senate and was ordered retu- ned to the house \ with amendments. As passed by :he senate the bill carries an appropriation of $12,00U, which will be used in transporting and maintaining the Sfnte exhibit at San Francisco. The commissioner of agriculture is charged with the duty of transporting and Iook:ng after the exhibit and attending to all matters pertaining to it Hi eve, and he is to expend the $12,000 upon warrants drawn on the State treasury and is to account for the same at the session of the general assembly in 1916. <$ < > <$> < > <$ <s> <$> <$ <?> ^ <j> *> VAKIOUS AM) ALL ABOUT. ^ ?> ?> Comments and Clipping hy the ^ v Local Reporter. <$ > ? v?> <?v < 'i> 'i V. < . %/#> <}> <?N 'ip < ) .?)
