REVIEW AM) FORECAST ' FIRST LEGISLATIVE WEEK ' | Columbia. .Jan. 14.? If bills con tinue to pour into the legislative hop per as rapidly next week as (luring the four days tne general assembly has beer in session, each house will he confronted with a formidable cat- j endar very soon, although there have j not been as many m asures propos- \ ed in the senate during the first four days as at some previous sessions. J The inauguration of tile governor and lieutenant governor on Tuesday, j the elections on Wednesday, and the' . trip to Winthrop Friday, will inter fere considerably with detail work 1 + V"* anm i ri o- tl* n^Ir UUi 1115 VI1C The iron-clad State-wide prohibi tion measure introduced in the hous? by Mr, W. K. Richey. Jr., of Laurens, measures to abolish the warehouse system, the sustaining of Governor -Manning, in .both branches, in the matter of vetoes of bills which he had held over from last session, the appointment of committees and clerks, and the re-election of prac tically all the officers of both iiie & 1 ate and the house., characterized the "work of the session during'the first week. Only two trips for the inspection of.State institutions have been agreed upon. Mr. H. C. Summers, Jr., of ! Anderson, stated to the house, when I h*; made his argument in favor of i accepting the Charleston invitation, J that there would be no invitation from < Clemson this year for the general ; assembly to visit tliat institution. i ; The general assembly will go to ' ' Charleston on Wednesday, January 1 24, stopping in Orangeburg an hour for breakfast on the/Vay to the me tropolis. Both houses will reconvene on Mon day night at 8 o'clock. No opposition ha6 developed to the four circuit judges "who are to be re elected at this session. They are: Judges Mendel L. Smith of Camden; Tfcomas S. Sease, of Spartanburg; R. W." Memcainger, of Charleston, and George E. Prince, of Anderson. There are a number of candidates for superintendent of the State peni tentiary, to suceed Col. D. J. Griffith. who iha/s annoum^ thai hp will re "tire upon the election of his succe3- j \ sor. They include Hpv.. ?.V. K. San-. \ ders, a member of the Sumter dele- ' 1 gation in the house, ancj a former di* ; ^ rector of the institution; Mr. P. HJ ( X.ese9ne, bookkeeper at the penlten- j * tiary; Mr. J. H. Gosnell. of Snartan- j ( burg; Dr. L. K. Sturkie, of Orange- 1 tourg county; Senator J. H. Wharton, 5 of Laurens, and Mr. Jos. S. Huffman. 1 former member of the house from ' . Kicniand. t ' There appears to be a sentiment in * the general assembly to re-elect Sen ator Jno. L. McLaurin to the posi- 2 tion of State warehouse commission-, J er, from which, in his annual report, lie has resigned. The State ware house system, both in regard to its * maintenance and the election of a ? warehouse commissioner, is expect- t ed to provoke one of the most spirit- 5 t?<i fights in the general assembly J during the coming week. Among those ! who are being urged to succeed Mr. j 1 McLaurin are Mr. iW. W. Bradley, of " Abbeville, State auditor, connected 1 0 (VM4. % ?% > uvyai iiuvui VI tl*0 uailA CA aminer; Mr. James A.

Senators may have many bills ^ up their sleeves to be pulled out later,; ^ but ?o far that proverbial hiding , place of things mysterious has yield- ( =d up few treasures. Three of the most significant in v t.oiut of view of public interest ar<> !)y Senator Nickles, of Abbeville. One t of these provides for a four-year j ferm for the governor, after wiiicn, he shall be ineligible for re-election.; Another proposes to Iength<n the '* terms of all SSate officers to four f years, without declaring them ineli- ' s:ible to go before the people for a t seconu term. iue iniru proviuea ior biennial sessions of the legislature. * Two other bills for biennial ses- j sions have been introduced, and will r be reached 011 the senate? calendar v v i-cmin<r week. The matter of ? expense of holding sessions of the t general asstmbly will likely be the most substantial argument advanced t in favor of the bill. There is a grow- , ing sentiment also in favor of chang- ! t ing the fiscal year. As the matter | now stands, all appropriations for ^ State institutions and departments of #1 th/ State government are converted e into t.he State treasury on December 7 51. Tiie legislature meets on the sec- ^ Dnd Tuesday in January, and the ap-. p kropriaticn bill for th year is rareiy j approved before the first of Marcli.J rhis leaves the various departments ? without funds during the month of Q January, and they never know what ^ :o expect. or how to lay their plans' :or the year, until about the first o! f March. [ ^ In this connection, the general fi-; g lancial condition of the State will be eviewed. In the reports of various, State officials, which have been pun-! ^ lished in this correspondence, the jepioraoie situation in cms regard j . ias be?D called attention to, and this J s one of the most important matters j ahich this general assembly will Tiave o deal. The effort in the-house to get.,11 X 'ou^h a Statewide anti-liquor bill, i ^ lbsolutely prohibiting any shipments j nto the State, ha9 had a faint echo! n the senate in Senator J. Gordon j 7 hughes' bill, providing for shipments j 11 )f 60 pints of beer as an alternative! 'or the gallon of whiskev now allow-1 each citizen during a calendar! fl nonth. Senator Hughes, in discus-j 13 ung his bill, said that the present j \] aw places beer on the same plane! vith whiskey, allowing only a gallon v )f either article. "If the people were q 11 lowed to order 60 pints of beer in ^ leu of a gallon of whiskey, the Drcftj- \ ' ability is that many would prefer * he milder drink." said Senator j lughes. "HifTe are three distinct phases of he liquor fight in this general as- t( .embly which can. be outlined at this t] 1 m O T? A Vi AII/sa Via "WJIi l ? T - ' J uiv. 1U UV/,UStT fit Lflll Uy \^0.

Senator Hughes has proposed in the senate a two-cent rate kill, thy j companion bill to which has been in troduced in the house. Members of the senate judiciary committee have been put on th? grill by woman advocate? of "ballot for both." Not "votes for women," be "ause that is taboo.

The election was lively and full of interest from the time the polls opened until th.y were closed, both sides being busy working for their own preferable candidates. Mr. Win. J.

The regular January meeting was held Tuesday night at which they changed the salary of the chief of rolice, combined the offices of health officer and policeman which reduces the pay roll. With these and other changes that are to be made in the town government, the receipts and expenditures will be changed so as to give the treasury about twelve hun dred dollars more this time next year than there is at prcent to meet the trwn's indebtedness. The council will have its regular extra meeting to fleet a chief and health officer and a clerk and treas urer to succeed Mr. S. X Jeter, who has tendered his resignation.

The Exchnge is the youngest oi the four banks in the city having been organized only about ten years ago. For a season it was prosper ous, and then for a year or two the road was a little rough and stumpy, but tor th* past four year? it has en joyed a marked degree of success un der the present management.

But the public spirit and the en lerpnse wmcu 11 exniDKS in purchas ing this valuable corner and erecting a modern building on it for its bank ing house and for offrces is to be com mended. for it means much for the growth and development of the com munity.
