OBSERVATIONS ON THE LEGISLATURE.
By the time this reaches the
most of our readers the 1902 ses
sion of the legislature will be a
thing of the past, as both houses
will adjourn this week. The
present session has marked the
enactment of no very startling
measures. Most of the work
has been of a routine nature, but
such work as was necessary to
be done once every year m pro
viding ways and revenue and
mapping out plans for running
the State government another
year.
The number of bills passed is
scarcely up to that of the aver
age session, and this speaks well
for the State and the law mak
ers. Perhaps the most impor
tant bill was the one regulating
the jury law and making that
law uniform in all the counties
and putting it beyond all ques
tion of puncture by the supreme
court. The passage of that law
alone was sufficient to necessitate
the meeting of the general as
sembly, and who knows but that
the same emergency may arise
next year or some subsequent
year and upon some other sub
ject, thus making it necessary
for the people to meet imlegisla
ture assembled at the earliest
possible moment. The State
has been divided into new Con
gressional districts, which are
more compact and nearer even
in territory and population than
the old districts were.
Some important weak points
have also been remedied in the
general road law, Judge Gage
setting it aside as unconstitution
al in one county, and legislation
has been necessary to make the
law uniform and constitutional.
The report of the Code commis
sioner has been adopted, thus
validating and making lawful an
epitomized codification of all the
statutes of the State since 1893, a
work which is necessary to be
done every ten years. The child
labor question, the bi-ennial ses
sions question. the question of
restricting the powers of trusts,
have also been discussed and the
members given an opportunity
to ventilate their views thorough-I
ly, largely for home consump
tion, but nothing definite upon
these subjects has b ee n
done. These measures have af-!
forded a safety valve for the
escapement of a great deal of
political buncomb, especially in
the house, and in doing this
alone they have served a good
purpose, for the people, many of
them, strange to say, are fond
of hearing such things and will
enjoy hearing these matters re- !
hashed in the campaign the comn
ing summer by political aspirants.
While a few members have felt
that their dignity was offended
occasionally and have arisen to
questions of "personal privi-!
lege," yet the session in general
has been rather marked by good
feeling.
*Taken all in all the session has
been up to the average, and in
some respects, better-better in
the fact that it not only has done
some good things, but has done
nothing radically wrong that we
recall just now. It has at least
served one great purpose, and
that is to afford the people of
South Carolina an opportunity
to meet in convention assembledj
and to discuss measures and pol;e
itics. We doubt if there is an
other people in the United States
endowed with more patriotism or
who are just like the average
South Carolinians, and like they
have always been. They must
meet in representative bodies,
and must discuss public ques
tions and politics. If they do|
not meet in the legislature they I
will meet some other way. The
inflated store of politics and
statesmanship has been ventilat
ed and the people ought now to
get along until the campaign
opens the coming summer. The
people of South Carolina love to
have frequent meetings and they
seem willing to pay for them,
and in fact we cannot see how
they can get along without an
nual sessions of the legislature.

SENATE CHAMBER,
Cclumbia, S. C., Feb. 17, 1902.
We are on the home stretch,
notwithstanding the fact that the
House Calendar is chock-a-block
and by tomnorrow the- rush of
bills that will come over tr the
Senate will be a shuddering pil.
There seems to Le a great ten
dency at this session of the gen
eral assembly to cripple business
interests under the guis% of strik
ing -corporations and trusts."
and the main concern aimed :st
was the Virginia Carolina Chem
ical Company., a concern owing
the principal fertilizer factories
in this State, and which, had it
not have been for its liberalness
and leniency the past year. there
would have been general bank
ruptcy among that class of farm
ers who bought heavily of fertil
izers and those merchants who
did anadvancing business. There
was a bill to repeal the charter
of this concern, which was back
ed up by the Attorney general
or rather, under the instructions
of the general assembly of last
vear he brought suit against
this company in the courts for
violating the terms of their char
ter, and it is his desire to com
pel foreign corporations doing
business in this State to be sub
jected to our State courts, and
not be allowed to carry their
causes inti the United States
courts. The measures had
strong support. as they produced
a fine opportunity for politicians
to indulge in a whole lot of gal
lery playing, and to pose for
home consumption. This class
of politicians will go before the
people and denounce corpora
tions, and impress thi-m that
these institutions are possessed
of the devil and should be run
oun of the country, and then
turn right around and urge the
coming of these corporations
amongst us. If at a meeting of
business men these fellows will
urge that we make all kinds of
concessions to induce capital,
and when they go out on the
stump they resort to all manner
of devices to arouse prejudice.
The Senate made up of practical.
men had this proposition before
it on Friday, and some very fine
speeches were made on both
sides, but the speech of not only
the day, but the entire four years I
that I have been a member of
that body was made by Senator
Walker from Georgetown. This:
gentleman spoke in opposition
to the bill and by his clear cut
sentences, his brilliant portrayal'
of the good capital is doing to
the State, and the dire conse
uences which will follow such~
reckless legislation, also his
eloquent exposition of the falsity
of the charges against the com -
pany, that instead of violating
the law as alleged the company;
followed the law. When he fin
ished there were other speeches
for and against, but the Walker
speech had struck down the
scales, and by two to one vote
the enacting words were strick-.
n out.
Our delegation met in my'
room last Wednesday, and all
matters concerning the county!
were discussed; we unanimously
greed to keep the levy the same'
s last year. The matter of
iving the sheriff an additional
$100 to help him pay the salary.
f a deputy. and to increasing:
the magistrates salary at St Paul
was about the only thing the
elegation have had that they
were not unanimous on: a major
ity of the delegation agreed that
n the interest of the public ser-'
vice it was just and proper to
ake the increase, especially as
t would not affect the tax levy.
Mr. Galluchat was opposed to~
any increase, and Messrs Rich
ardson, Woods and myself fax
ored it.
I was called upon to suggest
the names of Supervisors of reg
istration, and this I submitted at
this meeting. Mr. Richardson
proposed the name of Mr. P. B..
Mims, but the delegation decided
that as there were no complaints
against the present board, it
would not be right to turn out one
and leave the rest,therefore they
oncluded to recommend the
present board which consists of
(.~ T. Worsham. Seloe: C. T.
Ridgeway, Foreston: and E. 1..
Gamble, Manning. It is proper
to state that Mr. Galluchat's op-'
position to the increasing of the
salaries was not through any
personal ill-will towards either
f the officers, and that Mr.
Richardson's proposal of the
name of Mr. Mims. was not be-:
cause he had any objections to
the present board, but that Mr.
Mims represented a portion of
the county that in his judgement;
was entitled to representation.
Clarendon is no longer in the
Sixth Congressional district, a
circumstance I regret, because
we have learned to know the
people of the counties composing
that district, but under an Act of
Congress the State had to be re
districted, and the bill wvhichl
passed the House was not at all
satisfactory to me: our delega
tion was equally dlivided on it.
Messrs Richardson and Gallu
chat favored Clarendon bemn

Lexington and Richland, and
Dr. Woods and myself oppos.ed
it. I took the position that we
have no community of interests
with Richland, Lexington and
2rangeburg, and to put us with
them we would not amount to

P is a wfull hard to 'et legisla
tion started. when it is proPCsu
late, and becaiise of the delay in
getting the bill. I am very much
afraid the bill to define thelimits
of the town of Summerton and
to prohibit the sale of liquor
therein will not get throu'gh the
House. I received the bill last
Tuesday from Mr. Purdy and
immediately had two copies
made. I took one to the House
and got Dr. Woods to introduce
it there, I also introd uced it in
the Senate, this was done to rush
it. I have not heard what has
become of it in the House, but I
think it is hung up in committee:
the Senate bill was passed to a
third reading Saturday and if I
can reach it to night it will be
over in the House tomorrow
where I will urge our delegation
to push it.
It is a very diflicult thing to:
do, to take bills up out of their
regular order when the Calen
dar is full of other bills possibly
more important and away ahead,
one objection prevents taking up
a bill out of its place to advance
it over others, however I will
press it through the Senate and
Doctor Woods has promised me'
to watch it specially in the
House.

the National Association of Rail

the number were three Lieuten-,

In my last letter I said that

Home Branch School Closes.
Editor The Manning Times:
The Home Branch school. tauglit by
Miss Eva Curtis. closed on the evening
of the 14th with appropriate .exercises.
It was our good luck to be present on
this occasion. One of the noticeable
features of the occasion was the good
behavior of both pupils and audience.
This speaks well for teacher as well as
neighborhood. The manner and spirit
in which the children acquitted them
selves demonstrated very clearly that
the H:me Branch people were very
fortunate in securing the services of
such a noble young lady.
The exercises consisted of songs, dec
lamations. recitations. dialogues and
delivery of prizes.
