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.

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

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

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. "From son

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. The whole matte

5pect.
Biennial Sessions.
The proposition to provide for b
mial sessions of the general assen
ly will bs? taken up shortly. Bier
ial sessions were recommended t
overnor Manning in his inaugiTri
[laress, and the measures whic
ave been introduced along this Iir
>em to have a better chance of su<

?itated for a number of years pas
nd has been strongly urged, bi
revious iegislatures hav? failed '
lbmit it to tne people. A constiti
onal amendment would of course >
squired, which would necessitate
iferendum.
Four-year Term.
A four-year term for the gevernc
nd lientenant governor, and makin
lem ineligible for re-election, is prt
Dsed in measures which have bee
itroduced. This also had the ei
orsement of Governor Manning 1
is inaugural address^,
The two-cent flat passenger rat
1 railroads will again come up thi
jar, measures having -been propose
hich would limit the charge to tw
snts per mile, whether upon ind

Doks issued.
An institution for the reeble-minc
1 has been proposed in measures 11
-oduced in both houses. An appn
riation of .$60,000 is fixed by U
ills.
Mr. G. L. Toole's measure in tn
Duse, which would require a tax o
jrtain soft drinks, is of Statewic
iterest. It is urged by those in fa^
of the bill that this -\vculd be c
mefit in helping raise the additions

and fTlflf it will a1er? nrrvTri/^o
igulation upon the State of certai

ie people.
Woman Suffrage.
Equal suffrage for women will b
ie of the interesting issues of th
>ssion. A persistent campaign ha
^e'h waged during the first two we eh
r a referendum to the people loo*
g towards a constitutional amenc
ent which would give women equ*
ivileges with men in the- matter c
)ting. Measures have been introduc
I which would refer the matter t
ie people for their decision.
Probably the most important mal
r to be considered by the legislatur
tne serious nnanciai condition <
ie State. 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 Ten-Mill Levy.
The amount necessary to be boi
>\ved next year, in anticipation (
ie collection of taxes, is called a
ntion to in the report of the Stal
easurer, and it is estimated that i
xler to meet the appropriation as!
1 for at this session, a iexy 01 re
ills will be necessary, and it hg
^en stated by one who lias closel
udied the tax problem that, if a]
ropriations are held down to tf
:inimum, the present financial coi
ition of the State will necessitate
:vy of nine mills. The members
ie general assembly will b:> calh

nd the question of raising reveni
leir most serious and can-ful consi
ration, and, with the best that cs
e done, it is going to be a hard ma
ir to hold down a considerable ii
rease in the levy.

i- j One well versed in the warehouse
i- j situation, in discussing the effort to
a-' abolish the system, and in connection
te with the race for commissioner, said
j today:
te; "An interesting situation "has devel
? I oned in the matter of electing a State
le | warehouse commissioner. The two
jr_| ballots taken on Thursday show clear
ly a deadlock. The interim between
adjournment Thursday and* reconven
' ing Monday night has been taken up
with conferences and caucuses, and
the air is full of all khtds of rumors.
There are two-well-defined factions
working together in absolute har

e. first, of those members who openly
tS advocate the destruction of She sys

way, will favor the man least likely
to make it a success; second, those
who do not care to fight it openly, but
are willing to retain it provided they
can get rid of Commissioner McLaur

"There is a persistent rumor that a

A few issues of tlie paper back a

itablishments to state what in their
million was the great need of Xew

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

iterested as good citizens in the
owth of the community. The Har

e views of all of them, and of any
hers who may be willing to express
emselves on the important subject

Mr. Geo. Summer, president of

A good audience assembled in the
auditorium of the High Shool on last
Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock to cele
brate the anniversary of the birthday
of General R. E. Lee. The exercises
were opened with prayer and read
ing of scripture by the Rev. Mr.

"Aulr} Lane Syne" was delightfully
sung by Mrs. S. J. Derrick, Miss Caro

Little Miss Mary Alice Hipp pleas

over the exercises, next introduce
the speaker of the occasion. Professor
S. J. Derrick. Professor Derrick
spoke of the great love that the South

the qualities in the character of the
great hero that called forth this love.
It was a fitting tribute to the great
soldier. .
