EM BRACES USUAL JOLLIFICATION Conference Committees Agrees on Appropriations ? Members Get Their Pay?Jollification by Local Optionists and Prohibitionists in Locked Arms It was 2:50 a. m. After a most extraordinary session of 47 days the general assembly of South Carolina adjourned Saturday night with the hands pointing at 11:59, but actual time of 2:50. In both houBe and senate quorums were not present, many of the members having gone home. It the usual jollification, however, and prohi-. bitionist and local optionist locked ars and carroled forth the old songs, being interrupted occasionally .by a mock session. The galleries and floors were crowed at times by visitors, who watched the proceedings wiiu interest and amusement. During one of the -recesses the "ghost walked" and the members received their checks for $200 for a session of 47 dais. Before last year the ,?av was $4 per day per member for not exceeding 40 days. There was a dispute on the extra pay for the employer nd attaches for extra pay for the prolonged session. Finally it was decided to grant the increase. The appropriation bill as originally introduced in the house showed a decrease of $122,000 from, last year. On nconnt of appropriations made id various bills and adjustments between house and senate the difference between the appropriation hill of 100S and 100!) is $12,000. This is a reduction in the aggregate Appropriation. The free conference committee agreed upon the following essential points which were authorized by special acts or the action of either senate or house: For common school extension $20,000. For Winthrop extension $10,000. For "Winthrop kitchen $12,000. For factory inspectors $2,000. For statistical information $300. For increase in expense account for Commissioner Watson $f?00. For increase clerk's salary, same department, $200. University of South Carolina, to correct clerical error, $2,000. Increase for high schools $10,000. Increase for Hospital for the Insane $5,000.. Incrnse for printing $5,000. Claims passed $10,000. Additional for engrossing department $1,200. Battleship South Carolina $5,000. Refund for Greenville reunion *1 ,ouu. Monument to the women of the Confederacy $7,500. Contingent account for the senate $2,000. " ' Same for houRe $,">00. Additional for solicitors $700. Additional for clerks $500. These are the chief items that are provided for. A number of smaller allowances were granted. The house abandoned its appropriation of $50,000 for free sehcol text books. The senate's position was agreed to in the matter of the Confederate home and $12,000 is appropriated for this instead of abandoing the Confederate home and adding the $12,000 to the general pension appropriation. Tjien the committee was appointed to wait on the governor and a coir.; mittee appointed to notify the senate that everything was ready to adjourn. Tn accordance with the usual custom, Mr. T. B. Fraser of Sumter then moved that the house do now adjourn sine die. Just before adjournment the house went into a committee of the whole and passed resolutions on tho impartilitv of the ruling* of Whaley pnd his work during the year. There were also the othpp reselation*, The Bcnutc rest Tuesday night and killed tho rate b' 11 after amendments, defeated the mileage feature anu caused its former advocates to vote against it. Wednesday the prohibition or Honor regulation hill and the educational b:U consumed the time and little was effected for lack of unitv of sentiment. Tlir? TTm>oo without n quorum, passed a few third rending hills. After dehnte for almost the entire day nnd more than three hours' discussion Thursdnv night, much of which certainly looked like filbnstering, the senate passed an amendment <o the prohibition hill?the compromise proposed bv Senator Cbristens6n. This amendment was framed up by senators in conference during the ,discussion on the bill. The Christensrit amendment, which passed provides, in brief: Hold an election July 15 in counties now having dispensaries to determine whether they shall continue the sale of whi.-.key. This would give prohibition for two weeks under the opening provisions of the prohibition bill. All counties voting to retain the dispensaries will be under provisions of the Cery-Cathron act. [When the house met Monday there % . Cj Sir* was a I0112: discussion on Senator Lido's bill to incorporate the Edisto Power compnnv. The objection seemed to be on the idea that it was Riven rondcrnanation rights that were unnecessary. The bill, however. passed. The house killed Senator Webster's bill providing for a State board of embnlmers bv a vote of 47 to 17. It then took up Senator Ott's bill, which would make a jury verdict a lien against the person's real estate On which the verdict is rendered The time limit had been changed in the house from ten daya to five days from the rising of the court. There was considerable debate on the bill and it was finally passed. Mr. Dixon's resolution endorsing President-elect Taft's sentiment in his Atlanta speech with reference to official appointments in the South was" discussed and finally defeated. Senator Mauldin's bill to prevent worthless checki wn? then broiftrht up and wns finally passed. It reads as follows: "Section 1, That from and after me approval of this net anv person who shall diaw and utter nny cheek or drnft on a hank or banking house in which he has no funds or not funds sufficient to pay such check or drnft, nnd who on being notified of refusal of the bank or banking house to honor such check or draft shall fail for 30 days to deposit funds sufficient to meet the same, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished byfine or imprisonment or by fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the court." The senate Friday passed the prohibition me: Mies with the ChristenBen and Williams amendments, after a lengthy discussion as to what was really the ngreeraent of the evening before. __ The "senate Friday night passed th'e appropriation bill adopting the flnauee committee amendments in toto, with a few slight changes, propCr.Cll CM !he floor ^? conn f o Tltn levy \vas raised from A mills to A 1-4 mills, as it was pointed out bv Senator Mauldin, chairman of the finance committee, that this levy would bo necessary with the appropriations as made in the bill. The University of South Carolina was given its $20,000 as proposed in the bUl for the erection of a new administration building. The provision made by the house ways and means committee for a $A0.00 appropriation for free school 1 hooks was stricken from the bill, this being the amendment of the senate finance committee. The sulary of the secretary of the 1 railroad commission was raised from $1 ,A00 to $1,800. There were several changes in the department of agriculture, commerce and industries to conform to the recently enacted acts as to this dc- j partment. The two new inspectors are provided for with $1,000 per year salaries.

The provision was also made for the lecture course by Hon. Y. J. Pope. The pension fund was put back by the finance committee at $'250,000 and the $12,00 included by the house was made and appropriation for the Confederate infirmary in Columbia. There was quite n discussion upon this, but it was adpoted. The bill has to go to a committee on free conference now for final disposition. The change in affairs in the State senate made it possible Friday for an adjournment sine die to be reached Saturday evening in the general nssembiv. The conclusion of the liquor fight was welcomed by many senators Friday. A session longer than 40 days did not appeal to them, much less -coming hack here next week to consider what could bo disposed of this week. The appropriation bill will be arranged at conference also. None of the senate amendments affect the bill irmterlallv except the striking out of the $50 000 for free nehools. Both bills will have to be referred to free conference committees. The bouse passed the followlna bills: Mr. Wharton?To prescribe th< punishment for assault with intent to ra\lsh.

Mr. Harvey?To prohibit persons owning or keeping sheep-killing dogs PROHIBITION BILL PASSED Provision of Measure Including Amendments Election to be Held August 17 to Determine Whether Wet Counties Retain Dispensaries. The prohibition bill as passed in the legislature of South Carolina in its late session is in brief as follows: "Section 1. That all alcoholic liquors and beverages, whether manufactured within this State or elsewhere, or any mixture by whatsoever name colled, which, if drunk to excess, wilfr produce intoxication, are hereby declared to be detrimental, and their use and consumption to be against the morals, good health and safety of the State and contraband."
