An Efrart to Ah.i-.h the OG cr Fi:" phate Ianpector Fa:il Th-,' . rcpi tion Bill Unde: Fire. The Senate was not :s ssio Sanur day or Monday. On T vuesd a nothiur of general io cat cs d-.ne xept the passirg ci a bl:o urri s chool boons at cost, ' *e a-r r.art.s rc'consiered. O0 WeY a. y the joint con'mite of te o s-at a set ate, Messrs Moses ani Acher on the part of the sernte, appo-ted to investi gate and report on the recessarv Ci cers and atiaclhs of the general asI sembly reperted that the foiowirg clerks and attaches can be disp scd with: In the senate, the cie-k to roads, etc, general conmiitce er, clerk to ralircad and clcrk to prv :iE es and election; one dcci kreer and one porter, a daily saving of $2i. In the house. clerk on claims, en rolled acts, one doorkeeper, one labor er and one porter, a dsily saving of $15; a total saving per day of $36 The committee introduced a biHl to carry out their recommendations. The Senate then ratinted a namber i of bills and adj urned. In the Senate on Thursday a lengthy discussion tock place over Mr. Mow er's bill amending the reviseds;atutes relatin2 to judgments. It provided that a judgment should be a lien for twenty years without privilege of re newal. Mr. Rsgsdale cifered an amendment substituting ten years for twenty. This was adopted. Then Mr. Hay moved to strike out the en acting words cf the bill, as amended. and this was done. Thus after march ing up the hill and around the fill and down the hill again, the law was', left as it now is. Mr. Dean representing the minority of the committee on commerce and manufacture, spoke in favor of abol ishing the office of Phosphate Inspec tor. He said the industry was in a state of collapse and the inspector had but little to do. except to stay on his farm. He did not wish the to:al aboli tion of the office, but to empower the phosphate commission, consisting of the governor and certain other state cfficers, when they deemed it wise or necessary. to employ an inspector and pay him $50 a month. This would save the state a considerable sum. We have heard much hard times and I economy, and this is P gocd time to practice what we preach. Mr. Archer said the majority of the committee, after careful cousideration, decided that inasmuch as the phos phate industry was looking up, they deemed it best to make no change. Mr. Pettigrew agreed with Mr. Archer and cited cases where the in spector had detected and corrected er rors by which many dollars were saved to the state. The business is on the increase and it is important that we should not disturb the present method. Mr. Dean said the minority did not wish the abolition of the office as the senator from Florence seemed to have I amumed. The office was merely a sinecure and it would be well to have it abolished. - Mr Archer moved to indefinitely postpone the bill. On this motion, the ay es and nays were cafled and the Yeas-Archer, Buist,DuBose. Gains, Hay, Lesesne, Mauldmn, Maynfeld, Mc~alla, McDaniel, Moses, Mower, Norris, O'DrIl Pettigrew, Saddath, Talbird, Walker, Wallace, Williams -20.

When the approriation bill came u I the first deboate arose over the amiendi ment to raise the contingent fund of the adjutant and inspector general frcm $75 to $150. Mr. Arch r moved to table this amen drrient. Mr. Buist said $75 was absolutely inadequate. The office had never had less than that amount. The amount was left at $150. An effort was made to cut the appropriation for the trav eling expens- s of the adjutant general from $500 to $150. Mr. Archer favored the reduction because we were on a gold standard. The amount was finally left at $500 The amount for the state board of health was raised from $1,500 to $2, 500. Mr. Pettigrew moved to indefinitely postpone the amendment increasing the appropriation to the Sou:h Caro lina College from $20,000 to $25,000. He said the time for economy has come. Every officers salary had been reduced and the reduction should es tend all along down the line. Tne college professors were getting the same salaries as years ago. Mr. Archer said in the denomnina lional schools of this state, 644 ooys were taught at an exp-:nse of $23,750. In the South Carolina College 172 boys were taught at a cost $25.000. He thought if 644 could be taugh, for $23,750 it was reasonable that 172 could be taught for $2u,000. li'r near ly a century this college has drawna an average of $25,000 or a total of over $2,000,000 mn toat time. Why have not some of her graduates, some of her friends who maitntain that we cannot get along withoust this ilus trous institution-why have they not given an er~dowment to the college that they hold so dear. Of the nuni her of pupils referred to, seventy one pay tuition. This is a matter of eco:I omy, and he thought $20,000 sutil cient Mr. Henderson said this question should be discussed qietly. We al know times are hara, but no fac. have been given, no figures adduced to show ihat his codle~e ceu'd be run on $20,000. If the cellege is ex-rava gantly conducted wby could ti au mnvestigation have been made? The college was rno pauper. It was made by our lawaakers. They gave it ex istence and it is their duty to aapper t it and not to starve it by de-nras. I it is the purgcse to aou.lish trie coillez let the purpose be preciaimed and tu. issue fairly made. Let us give he $25,000. That amount: was r ecessary and it should be given, Mr. Sioan said if the puroose was to kill the colage. let it be k:lled in a manly way-not by sarvanon ?. had been reduced fromi $3.ou :c $25, 000. Now it is p-opt~ed to cut tne appropriation to i$2),000.

SenatorArcer protested against be ing prej idged and coundernedi, mis construe and misiterpreted abo u his position as to higher education. I; is said he was figh'.ing higher eduica won. Tht is not true. He was work irg and pinching and stnating that he unight heap them; for he expectec at deth to leave his possession to soite school. Mr. Henderson said we want a school where pupils can go after eav ing our public scho ils.

Mr. Archer moved to increase the apprcp-i0tion for the institute for the deaf, dumb and blind from $IS 000 to $19,000 and explained why the amt unt was necessary. Mr. Baist said no excuse was neces sary-that he wcu'd vote fcr it tor the renarkable reason that it was the first time he ever knew i-c senator from Spartanburg to favor an increase in say appropriation. The increase was made. When the appropriation bill came up for further consideration, Mr. Archer moved to akolish the odfice of Conufederate histor~an. We have been appropriating $1,000 for several years to prosecute trie work of collecting Confederate rcl!s. This work should Oe done by the adjatant general. A - ter we have the proper data for the history, it would then be time to have a historian. The vote was taken and Mr. Archter's motion was lost by a vote of 16 to 13. Mr. McCalia thug ht five hundred dollars was little enouza for the im-~ portance and magnitade of the work it was imnpossible to complete the work m one vear.
