When the house met tonight Messrs. Liles and crum introduced a measure to require banks to report to the comptroller general deposits uncallea for after a certain time. This is the proposal which has been urged by The Charleston American. The bills in troduced would provide for a report j :o the comptroller general, after ten j ^ears in regard to straight deposits, j md a report to the same official after; if teen years upon time deposits. The judiciary committee submitted an un favorable report upon the measure to perfect the Torrens system of land registration. The chairman of til judiciary committee said that the ommittee was in favor of perfecting .he law, but could not agree to tht neasure proposed. The bill was in roduced as the result of a meeting )f farmers called by State Commis sioner Watson. The insurance bills were taken up. ;ument against the first of the meas jres considered, which would provide :hat in case a licensed com pan-vL shall iispute liability the company shall im mediately pay the assured amount ad mitted as due, and in case of suit, 10 per cent additional for law fees, p o n-ded, it should be made to appear to :he jury that the refusal of the com pany to pay tlie claim was in bad !aith. then the amount of exccss over ndniiffnJ liohilttir ohc'llfl TP. .uc auiuiiimi uuuuu v funded tc the assured.

Mr. From berg of Charleston wanted ;ne companies a square dea?, He reviewed the insurance legislation by the last house, and favored u\ amendment by Mr. Moise that insur ance agents should not overvalue prope^y, and thus do away with the present "valued policy" law. He strongly favored the bills as proposed, with the amendments. Mr. H. P. Fulmer, of Orangeburg, wanted to let the "valued policy'* clause s.and. He made a vigorous ar guraent in this regard. Mr. X. G. Evans of Edgefield said the present law hadTresulted in hard ships, some of which coming within his knowledge, he recited, and he ur ged the incurance measures and th?? repeal of the "valued policy'' law. Mr. Duncan of Union, said it be hooved the legislature to arise to the occasion and say to the companies, "We admit our mistake and we invite you to come back and do business on a business basis." He favored the in surance bills. He wanted the com paflnies to come back, as a business matter, in the interest of the people. Mr. Rector, of Darlington, urged the passage of the bills. The previous question was ordered and the motion of Mr. Mocre. of Abbeville, to strike out the enacting words of the bill un der discussion was illed by a vote o! 22 to 81.
