'JTESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1017. TWlCt A tfEEK, $1.(9 A YEA*. WHISKEY AM) WAREHOUSE ARE THE TWO UREAL "VVS'i Biennial Sessions?Four-Year Term for Governor?A Dark Horse to Sidetrack Candidates Who Are Dis liked by the "Entente Allies" (Jno. K. Aull). Columbia, Jan. 22.?Both branches of the general assembly will recon vene at 8 o'clock tonight, tor the third week of the session, alter a re cess since Thursday afternoon, follow ed by the trip to Winthrop college on Friday. The joint assembly is in a dead lock on the selection of a warehouse commissioner for the unexpired term of Senator Jno. L. McLaurin. who ten- j dered his resignation in his annuai j report submitted at the beginning ot | the session. The withdrawal of As-1 sistant Adjutant Gen. John D. Frost, of Columbia, and of Mr. I. S. Hutto, of Dorchester, after the first ballot on Thursday, leaves seven names to 1 be ballotted upon at noon on Tues day. Only two ballots have so far "been taken. On the second ballot Mr. "W. G. Smith, of Orangeburg, was leading, with a vote of 30, and Mr. Jonn J. .MCManan, or voiumDia, was' second, with a vote of 25. The vote | being so generally scattered, no onej can with any accuracy venture a pre- i diction as to the final result. There | are persistent rumors of a "darK j horse," and it is of course possible j that some man whose name has not yet been mentioned may be chqeen, if the present deadlock continues for some length of time. As matter of fact, it seems that anything is possi ble in this race. Nothing seoms to be certain except the uncertainty that surrounds it. Tlia alnpfir\T\ r.f frnctQQo ? v * \y u. \j t. ti uoivvj vi uvubu Carolina Medical college; directors of the penitentiary; circuit judges, and superintendent of the penitentiary, have all been concluded, and ar? out of the way; and when a warehouse missionrer is chosen the elections will commissioner is chosen the elect'*-" ns will be over. The members of the general as sembly will take dinner at the South Carolina University at 2:30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The invitation \ was extended by President W. S. Cur rel of the university. In Charleston on Wednesday. On Wednesday, January 24, the colons will spend the day in Charles ton, as the guests of the metropolis. The invitation was extended by the mayor and city council of Charleston, who desired the members to inspect the State institutions located there. This is the only trip scheduled for the remainder of the sessita, and af ter the coming week, the detailed work of legislation will probably b? uninterrupted. Between 250 and 300 measures have been proposed in the two houses thus fjiT 10 O KAn f a tKiw J -iKi. i uu 10 auuui *ync"lUll U 111C legislative session. "The house got busy and killed several bills last week?among them one by Mr. E. H. Hall, of Chester, to prohibit officers issuing marriage licenses from performing the marriage ceremony; another by Mr. John K. Harblin, of Union, relating to seduc tion under promise of marriage, and one .by Mr. J. T. Lyles, of Orangeburg, to impose a flat penalty for delinquent .taxes on January 1, of each year. It is probable that the 6 per cent in terest bills will come up for discus sion during the coming week. They , ?are been unfavorably reported by committee to which they were referred; but a lively fight in regard to them is expected. t A Sprinkle of Liquor, The calendars of both houses have been liberally sprinkled with liquor measures. In the house there are th? inronclad prohibition measure by Mr.. W. H. Richey, Jr., of Laurens; a bill by Mr. J. Howard Moore, of Abbeville, a companion measure to one over in the senate, to allow the shipment of 150 pints of beer during a calendar month to aji individual in the State; the measure of Col. Joseph Frombt-rg, of 'Charleston, to submit to the peo ple a constitutional amendment al lowing cities of^ 40,000 inhabitants or mare to have a license system for light wines and beers, and others. In the senate there are the measures by T tii C; of P* su U1 be ca w rc tii te tr oi ec m bf Senator J. Gordon Hughes, of Union, looking towards allowing 60 pints of beer a month; the tight prohibition measure of Senator John F. Williams, of Aiken; the proposal by Senator Charlton DuRant, of Clarendon, limit ing the amount to a quart a month, which might be received only by a i a: male citizen 21 years of age. or byjtl a woman who is the head of a family, e: and other liquor propositions. l Governor Manning's position in re gard to the liquor question, as out lined in his annual message, is that the laws should be amended by reduc ing the quantity of liquor allowed per month to each individual, and that as a substitute light wines and beers he included in the law. Booze Commissioner. The State superintendent cT the iAnti-Saloon league and others have "been urging the creation of tlie office of commissioner, who would be elect ed by fhQ general assembly, to look: after the enforcement of the liquor :atuL-s. "Tlie commissioner of tl erson would be the coming of ti :rong arm of the Slate to co-opera itli local officials," stated Supt. .. Breedin. in an interview given i le press last week.

What the legislature is going to c ith the whole matter, nobody know hat the discussion will consume coi iderable time during the ssssic jems certain. There is' general dii atisfaction with present condition ut the various ideas of ho^v to in rove the situation differ so wide! lat it may be impossible for a m: >rity of each house to get togethc pon any change.

As has been pointed 01 this correspondence, both Comi oiler General Sawyer and Stai reasurer Carter have called attei on to the situation, and Treasure arter, in speaking of the actrvitie ; the borrowing board during. t*h ist year, states in his report to t ibmitted this week, that, "sumrain we found that it was necessary t )rrow or to arrange for funds t irry on the government until taxe ere collected, the enormous total c ,120,000."

The editor has followed this ?ug jstion up and has personally call 1 on some of these gentlemen for ieir views on the subject. As stat I, they have been asked for their ews, because they officially repre tnt the large taxpayfng institutions ! the town, besides themselves being iterested as good citizens in the owth of the community. The Har d and Xews will bo pleased to have e views of all of them, and of any hers who may be willing to express emselves on the important subject providing ways and means of gt-t ng better streets and making other 3eded improvements in the town.
