Appropriation Hill Before the Housej
Soi;ie Hard Work Yet Before the
Special to The He" aid and News.
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

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

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.
