When the bill introduced by Mr. \ T. Liles of Orangeburg, to provide :or the payment of traveling expenses >f circuit judges was reached by the louse, Mr. T. A. Dominick moved to ; strike out the enacting words. The neasure, as proposed by Mr. Liles, provided for one thousand dollars ex penses for each judge. The committee ' :o which it was referred reported the ; )ill favorably, but recommended that ;he amount be placed at five hundred iollars instead of one thousand dol- . ars. Mr. T. C. Duncan, of Union, in an ible argument, urged the passage of he bill. The circuit judges were not Daid enough, he urged, and he was n favor of the general assembly :tarr>m'n<y ite annrnval nnnn pffioipnov .vherever found. "The only man who ;an be a judge in this State today," le said, "is possibly either a plutocrat >r a patriot." He paid a very hign :ompliment to the judiciary, and urg ;d the increased cost of living as an idditional argument for the bill. Mr. R. P. Searson, Jr., of Barnwell, lgreed with the position taken by Mr. Duncan. Mr. H. P. Fulmer, of Orangeburg, hought South Carolina had too many udges. Judge Sease and Solicitor tfann, he said, had got through at 3rangeburg recently with the average wo weeks' court work in one week, >ecause they had gone at it in a busi lesslike manner. More of that kind )f work was needed, he urged. In the present financial condition of the State, especially in view of the near ipproach of the boll weevil, he was igainst creation of useless offices, in crease of salaries or heavy appropria ions. Mr. X. G. Evans, of Edgefield, said hat the circuit judge who lived in his own (referring to Judge DfeVore) was iway from home ten months and :w-enty days out of each year, and ivheji he got back home between )f work with him. He strongly urged. he passage of the bill. He referred ilso to the "high cost of living." and ;o the fact that a judge was limited .0 his salary, because, under his pe :uliar duties, he was absolutely cut >ff from making extra money. ; - Mr. J. T. Liles, of Orangeburg, who s chairman of the ways and means committee of the house and the author; >f the bill, defended his proposition < md gave comparative figures showing he salaries received by circuit judges n the various southern States. The, ow salaries paid by this State in com- 1 )arison with other States was called j J mention to. "ii tnere is any place vhere you want your best qualified i! nan it is on the bench," Ifle urged. He elt his record for economy was well cnown, but this was a matter which ; vas in the interest of justice and tne ; >ublic good. i | Mr. H. C. Summers. Jr., of Ander son. said he agreed with what, had ^ ieon said in regard to the meager pay ^ >f judges, but there were some county , iffic-.Ts in Anderson, according to re-!' >orts which came before his delega ion meeting last night, who were working for $30 per month, after clerk ! 1 lire was deducted. He did not think i * his an opportune time for the in-! Tease. If certain salaries were in-j Teased, there ought to be a genera] evision, but this was not the time md this was not the manner in whicn o make it, he contended. Mr. Harry Hines. of ljanrsster, fa-J orod the measure nnon the ground; hat the circuit judges w-re poorly-; *aid. He favored economy, but judges j hould be paid enough fo? them to; ive on comfortably. Mr. W. R. Rickey. Jr.. pair! lie was'' 'one lawyer in this house who had' : iorv? enough to get up and speak j 1 igainst this bill." He paid a high j | ribnte to the judiciary, but did not;' hink this the time to be increasing j ; ;alaries. Mr. Allan McFarlan, of ChesterfielJ, ] vigorously opposed the bill. "They tell' lis the judges can't live on the salary, yet we have just finished re-electing four, and to see a judge in South Car- j olina resign would be a curiosity.", rv? tlia in/1 oroc' salarv in this' 1 U IliV.i V/UOV/ Lil V/ J UUJJVU J, *tt w?.w | iianner, he contended, was simply an j evasion of the constitution. ; , Mr. Arthur R.

A. Dominick of Newberry to j strike out the enacting words of the measure was lost by an aye and nay i-ote of 48 to oS, and the committee amendment to make the expenses $50'j :or each judg.> was adopted, and the bill as amended passed second read ing. The parliamentary clincher was pui oil, upon motion oi me auuior ot the measure. Hone-Dra^ on Calendar. An effort was made by Mr. Thomas S. McMillan, of Charleston, to have Mr. W. R. Riehey's State-wide prohi bition measure recommitted to the committee on police regulations for the purpose of submitting a minority unfavorable report. Mr. Richey said that he would not object if the bill should be reported back from the committer some time today, but that he did not want any delay. Unani mous consent bef^s required by the rule under which the house was work ing at the time, the bill was retained upon the calendar with the favorable committee report. j' Debate upon Mr. Moore's six per 1 cent interest bill was adjourned until 1 Monday immediately after third read ing bills.

The senate is giving a splendia : exhibition these days of how to de base the suffrage question. After having passed over for several succes sive days the joint resolution of Sen ator J. L. Sherard, of Anderson, the question was lightly touched upon Thursday morning. The resolution was made a special order for today j immediately after third reading bills, but when it came up in its regular' order, members of the op pus ?on again n/any siue-sieppea me issue ana maae it a special order for 'Monday at 8:30. ' j Senator J. F. Williams, of Aikan, is the only senator who has announced i on the floor his opposition to woman suffrage, and to the resolution which ' provides for a referendum on tlu question. It is Senator Witfiams' ef-: forts which have resulted in the post-: ponement of consideration. The rea sons which he assigned for wishing discussion deferred was that senators nrgbt have time thoroughly to dis cuss it. Commenting on this attitude of the Aiken senator, Senator Niels Cliria tensen, of Beaufort, todav said on the floor: "It is a singular fact that those who say they want to discuss this bilj., from every angle always try to pre vent the measure being discussed. It leads to the inference that they are more anxious to forestall discussion than to discuss." Disappointed Women. There were many women in the sen ate chamber today who had come over to hear their bill debated. They ap peared disappointed at the action of the senate in again postponing action. The motion to make the bill a special order for Monday night at 8:30 was made by Senator G. K. Laney, of Chesterfield, who stated that the even ing hour would make it possible for a larger attendance of thosj interested.
