Columbia, Jan. 25.?When the two house of the general assembly re convened today at 11 o'clock, each of them was confronted with a formi dable calendar, including a number of important measures of State-wide interest. Only one hour could be given by the two branches ,to the consideration of legislation, as the joint assembly was scneaulea 10 meet agam at uuuu to ballot further upon the selection of warehouse commissioner, to suc ceed Senator J no. L. McLaurin, re signed. Five ballots have been taken during the session, without decisive *esult, and- the vote is so generally scattered that no one can predict nitu. all v ua <x\yy nuot ti-ic a \50uu may be. Mr. W. G. Smith, of Orange- \; burg, is leading, with a vote of 34. | Mr. Smith was, formerly engaged in [ the cotton business, and is now In , the insurance business at Orangeburg. Mr. Jno. J. McMahan, of Columbia. . former member of the general assem bly from Richland county, and also former superintendent of education of ] the State, is second, with a vote of] 30. Mr. W. W. Bradley, of Abbeville. | State auditor, is third, with a vote;' of 26. Senator Jno. L. McLaurin, who is being, urged by his friends for re-election, but who is not an an nounced candidate, is fourth. a >oie of 24.' ' Mr. James A. Drake, of Bennettsville, and Senator A. J.

Mr. Drake was State warehouse inspector, under appointment by Sen ator McLaurin, from the inaugura tion of the system, up until January 1. when he resigned. Mr. Beattie is s a member of the present State sen- i ate. Mr. J. G. L. White, of Chester, f deputy State warehouse commission- c er, received only two votes on th<? 1 last ballot. j c The iron-clad, air-tight prohibition measure of Mr. W. R. Ricliey, Jr., g of Laurens, having received a favor- ^ able report from th committee on po lice regulations, the bill goes on the calendar for consideration today, and ' the whole liquor problem will prou-, ' ably soon come up for discussion up- *. on this proposition. There are a num. f ber of other liquor measures in both t branches, covering every phase of the ^ entire question, and a fight which j will consume much time of the ses- u sion is looked for. The Richey pro- ^ hibition bill may come any time. A good many of the prohibitionists are ? +V. fr\yr>ar, tnrrcth or tn <511T? BCIL.US tucw port. it. In an interview given The Charleston American some days ago, " Former Governor Blease said that if i: the people wanted prohibition, they ought to have it?that he was in fa- ^ vor of what the people want, when ]1 they have expressed themselves at the ballot box. The people should n rnle." he said, "and the legislature * should carry out the will of those who ~ have sent them here to represent them." i 8 ? c The whole liquor question is up in e the air, and nobody knows what will j, be done with it at this session. ; c The measures proposed looking to- s wards the abolition of the warehouse' b system may be reached today. Mr. j i< Hichey, of Laurens, tried .to get this v matter up in the house Tuesday night,' e but his motion was ruled out on a n Book1 Store 4 Candy, Foun n r*i :raper, nasn Razors and it in a corn lap showing iOf iiiaiviiig 11 3ur way any State.

Mr. Richey, who is i friend of the system, and who has een voting for Senator McLaurm or re-election, wanted this matter de- ar :ided before further balloting was be iuu lur \%<x: enuusc cumiiusaduuei. nia se josition was that the general assem ?ly ought to express itself as to *is pe ttitudf upon the maintenance of the of ystem -before taking up further time pr balloting for a commissioner, in view of f the fact that measures had been ev iroposed in both houses to eliminate an he system entirely. Mr. Richey will hi nake an effort to get this matter be- mi are the house today, before the time er or the meeting of the joint assembly an o take another ballot, and will en- bo eavor to get a final decision upon it. el< 'he bill to abolish the systfm has an gi nfavorable committee report in the va ouse. so The measure proposed by Mr. W. ot. t. Bradford of York providing for a th; onstitutional amendment prohibit- au ng the legislature from imposing bond sic bsues upon counties, or sub-divisions ot hereof, without referendum to the gr eople, except for past indebtedness, va > scheduled for consideration today, fo; lie measure was killed by a narrow in largin Tuesday morning, and at night of he vote was reconsidered, and de ate adjourned until 11:30 today. vi< Biennial sessions of the general as- ^e< embly, a revision of the insurance ode of the State; the proposition for ?n qual suffrage for women;- the liquor in iws; four-year terms for State offi- of ers; the question of calling a con titutional convention, which is now efore both houses; bills to reduce tne *ga 1 rate of interest to six per cent.. rhich have been unfavorably report- ^c d by the house committees; th? pro- ?* osition to establish a home for the ^eble-minded, and other matters of foportance, will confront the general f ssembly when it reconvenes this ^l1 lorning. One of the most stringeu: quor bills, aside from the iron-clad: leasures introduced, is that by Sena-i ^ >r Charlton DuRant. of Clarendon,, roviding for the exclusion from e5' outh Carolina of all liquor adver- ba sements in newspapers, magazines, C-? Li urn uucuus, ur eiafwnere. The racst important matter, how- w .er, \\ iiich will have to be consider [1 by the general assembly during sa lis session is the financial condition t the State. The proposition up 10 iem is how to hold down the ex. enditures within the revenue, with it iscreasing the levy to nine or ten ills. v _ sh The 1 gislalure is now in the midst or( : its third week. The average ses on is forty days. Unless there is 110 iui tati iig-up, It 1S3 t.\ycticu lat adjournment will be reached by ebruary 22.
