Patton’s KeULstrk-ting Bill Goe* Over—Labor Bills all Killed-Other" 3Iatters of Interest. Yesterday]was the last day for members to introduce bills aud several came in. Among them were the following: Mr. Banks—To abolish the office of county boards of control aud chief cons-ables and State consta- supreme lodge; bles aud devolve their duties upon other officers, and provide for the election of a State commissioner aud county dispensers. Mr. Williams—To provide for the forfeiture cf abandoned rail road property. Mr. Lancaster—To provide for the inspection of oils and illumi nating fluids. 'Ir. Lancaster—To establish the office of State geologist aud pro vide for mineralogical aud geolo gical surveys. The committee on incorpora tions reported all labor measures unfavorably and recommended in a special report that the house con sider immediately all the reports as presented and reject the bills. When Mr. Kibler’s labor com missioner bill was called up Mr. Kibler arose aud said : “I would ask to withdraw the bill from the files of the house.” The house then rejected Mr. II- derton’s bureau of labor bill and Mr. Mauldin’* bill limiting the hours of labor. i<Mr. Ildertwi’s ImII relating to the hours of \abor for women and children was allowed to lie over in bis absence. When the house got ready for business Mr. Raiusford called for his insurance deposit bill. It was amended so as to except mu tual, industrial and assessment companies, and then ordered to a third reading. Mr. Patton’s redistricting bill was then called up. A lengthy dis cussion followed. There was a disposition on the part of members to wait. By a vote on reconsidera tion the house decided to continue the bill until the next session. TUB NIGHT SESSION Much work was accomplished. It was the last night for the intro- ductiou of new bils by i*ny mem ber, and there was a rush of new measures. One of them, a joint resolution offered hy Mr. Gage, was one of the most far reaching and impor tant yet presonted. It is directed at the enforcement of a mandatory provision of the new Constitution, whuh will cost the State $90,000 and more. This resolution directs the comptroller general to levy a tax on the property of the State suffi cient to realize the sum of $92,- 070.12, to be held and used as the “supplemenlary school tax” pro vided for in the new Constitution. The dispensary committee re- yortid Mr. Childs’ prohibition measure back to the house without recommendation. Unfavorable reports were bad a similar resolution before it aud concluded that the secretary of state could give the relief. The members of the Florence delega tion said they knew nothing about it. The house adopted it, however Mr. Winkler’s bill to amend the law relating to costs passed, as. also did Mr. Crum’s bill to save small estates from being consumed by the costs of adminsiratiou. Mr. Wingo’a bill to require the commutation tax to be expended in the townships in which the taxpayer resides was ordered to a third reading without debate. FOR TRAVELLERS. j FEEE BICYCLE.

Mr. Mower—To amend a law re lative to cities voting bonds for the purpose of erecting eleotric light plants, waterworks, etc. Mr. Brown—To amend a.- act governing the formation of cor porations. jfHE NIGHT SESSION., The night session of th' senate was a very tame affair and con sisted solely in making heavy in roads on the calendar by passing all undebatable bills. A bfll (house) to require the killing of dogs bitten by any ani mals suffering with rabies, re ceived little mercy at the hands of the senators. Senator Archer moved that the bill be killed, aud it was done. A bill to establish Bamberg county passed with notice of gen eral amendment on the third read ing. Mr. Archer’s bill to provide spit toons for courthouses aud to make it a misdemeanor to spit on the floors, was reported unfavorably and on motion the report was adopted. MASSACRES IN CRETE.

I gave him a 25-cent bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says W. P. Holden, mer chant and postmaster of West Brimfield, and the next time I saw him he said it worked like a charm. This remedy is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases, such as colds, croup and whooping cough, and it is famous for its cures. There is no danger in giv ing it to children, for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by ^11 druggists. Fur Hale. Oue good tw j horte wagon. Ap ply at thu office. LAW LIBRARY FOR SALE.
