If one wants to get a mat- St ter passed he had' better. be on. 'the ch job and get in .at the commencement t of the session, that is if he 'wants to wi accomplish anything. I have not time, mi nor have you space to give me, in 11; which to explain fully all these mieas- du ures. I will try to discuss them more fully from time to time. -One of them be is to restrict the lien 'of landlords to te the products of the soil on lands rent- ce ed or leased for farming purposes. let I do not want to take away any rights to of landlords, but the present system ap is much abused, and any measure is sh to protect tenants against unjust ki abuses from landlords. Another mi measure is to put a stop to the miser- pr able practice which magistrates al- pr low to go on by jailing people for mi the purpose. of collecting debts, di- ha rectly in violation of the constitution. M .My measure is not for the purpose of bi protecting criminals, but for the pur- rc pose of enforcing the law in a proper w way. ga Another measure which I have in- ou troduced is a concurrent resolution A providing for the holding of a consti- ac tutional convention to create . bien- ju nial sessions of the legislature, to in chapge the terms of the goverior and bi State officers to four years, if the h< people want that, and revise the T constitution in general, as it may aj need it and stop this eternally amend- si ing it, .and making a crazy quilt out b( of the constitution. In the last elec- tI tion there were seventeen amend- ti ments voted on, and a number have n already been proposed in this legis- i lature, to be voted on in 1918. My o proposition would have to be voted k< on in 1918, and the convention could n not be held until 1920 or 1921.

I do not favor it, wever, .and I cannot support it. his house is rather above the aver e, in. my opinion, and there are me able men in it. Quite a num r of important measures have made eir..appearance, among them an air ght prohibition bill and an amend ent to the constitution allowing wo ien to vote. I am opposed to both f these. I favor some sort of liquor gislation to cut down a gallon-a ionth, because that is too much. But ave no patience with the women suf raga 'movement. The women havc eon lobbying and button-holing mer idiculously around the State house ut they haven't bothered me yet 'hey Wrote to me for an expressior f my sentiments before I left home nd I - told them very plainly what hought of it.

We are -going to get off the elections Wednesday, di then maybe some. of this " lobbying will stop. I want to say that Johnson and Millette 'and I are in aecord on the line of State economy. I have never seen such a clamor, for an increase of salaries and a depnand to t.;apro priaLi' morwy. The first matter which evoked di; cussion'in the house was whether or not it would sustain the governor's veto -to an act passed.at the last ses sion taking the appointment of the State game warden out of the :4ov ernor's hands -and putting it in an election by the legislature. I thought' the governor gave sound reasons. for his veto 'and I voted to sustain him. In short his reasons were that the chief game warden was an officer un der the executive 'department' of the State, and should be inder the con trol of the chief executive. I think the governor is in better position to find ourt the qualifications of a man for the place than the members of the legislature are. It was argued on the floor in favor of sustaining the veto that the success which the present game warden, Mr. Richard son, has made of the office, was evi dence that it was best to leave the appointing power in the hands of the governor. A great many members who approve of the policies advocated by Blease voted to sustain the gov ernor. Now Mr. Richardson was ap pointed by Blease, and his time ex pires sometime about March. So we will see whether the governor, when he comes to fill this appointment will recognize fitness and competency in office and reappoint Game Warden Richardson, or whether he will be partisan and put out Richardson and put in one of his political friends. The opposition to the State cotton warehouse system has already made its appearance by the~introduction of bills in the Senate by Senator Walker of Georgetown and also in the House - by Mr. Boyd of Spartanburg to abol ish. the warehouse system. It is sig nificant that both of these men are well known supporters of the Man ning administration, though I will not charge that they are acting on the governor's initiative because I have always understood' that the governor professed friendship for the ware house system. But we will see what we will see, later. J. H. LESESNE. SP[RTINENI PARAGRAPHS a FROM_$SUMM[RION Mr. W. H. Anderson and W. D.
