NO RDM LEGISLATION YET House Has a Spirited Discussion op Merits of Various Breeds of Dogs and Proposed Tax on Same. The following isa resume of the weekly work of the Oeneral Assembly of 8outh Cafolina: Senate. Columbia. Feb. 14.?The senate passed the Dukes resolution sent orer from the house requesting the governor to bring to the attention of the secretary of war the fact that about 900 negroes are in the labor battalion at Camp Jackson and that unless these men are discharged immediately their labor will be lost to the farmers for this crop season, and urging that they be discharged at au early date. The bill3 of Senator Christena??n to establish a highway department anad the bill to provide for the is sue of $25,000,000 of road bonds, and Senator Lightsey's bill on the same subject were made special orders. House. With a few minor changes. the general appropriations bill, carrying a ' otal of $3,354,796.45, an increase of $20,280 over, the amount reported from the ways and means committee. was given its final reading. An item was added appropriating $2,000 fo rlegally approved claims to owners of condemned cattle slaughtered in accordance with law. After cohsiderable debate. the house, by a vote of 52 to 27, added ) $10,000 for South Carolina's pro rata' share of cotton representatives to1 the peace conference in France. By va vote of 16 to 62 the house refused to increase the saluries of the members of the . general assembly $100. The amendment to the appropriation bill, calling for $16,900, or $100 for each member of the two houses, was introduced by Representative Wise of Charleston. The bill as it now stands calls for' an increase of 10 per cent, in the sal-1 aries of all clerks and attaches of the various departments of the state : government. this total increase \ amounted to $8,900. 8enate. Feb. Feb. 17.?The senate considered only uncontested matters during : the early hours of the session and , then took up the two bills by Senator Ranks on state insurance. The first bill provides for the insur ; nnce of state warehouses and cotton ! therein by th esinking fund commis-! slon. leaving it to the commission to I fix rates and by an amendment offer-1 ed by Senator Marion of Chester j limiting the amount that may be plac-, ed by the sinking fund on any one | warehouse at $10,000 and requiring; the sinking fund to reinsure the Hal. I anee tn reputable companies. . The second bill removes the limitation heretofore put upon the accumulation of insurance funds in the hands of the sinking fund to 11.000,000 and the cessation of the payment of premiums. Under the provisions of this bill the accumulations are to continue and the premiums are to be paid annually. House. Among the third reading bills passed by the house was that by Mr. Berry of Orangeburg, to authorize hanks, banking institutions, trust companies and Insurance companies and judges of probate or persons acting as executors or administrators, guardians or trustees to invest in Federal Farm Loan bonds. Passage of this bill has; been urgently recommended by the treasury officials in Washington. The Pasley bill to the 1912 code so as ton enable clerks of court to issue warrants to enforce agricultural Hens was also passed. The l^aney bill to appropriate $50.-' 000 for the vocational training in pub iic scnoois was sent to tnira readtng. The training is to be in agriculture and trades and industries. i Gas Bill Favorably Reported. Senator Pearce's gas bill was reported favorably in the senate but amended so as to include all cities of less than 40.000 inhabitants. This bill was published several days ago. It provides that in case a bill for gas or electricity is disputed by a public service corporation the consumer shall have the right to pay the amount which he admits to be correct and to deposit the balance claimed by the company pending suit to determine the correctness of the account, service continuing in the meantime. To Stimulate Foreign Trade. Representative F.theredge of Saluda has introduced in the house a concurrent resolution calling for the appoint- j ment of a committee from the two ! houses to confer with the State ware- ' house commissioner and other per- j sons, looking to the formation of a ! cotton corporation to stimulate trade iu the foreign field, as suggested by W. P. G. Hurding. governor of the board of directors of the federal reserve system, when in Columbia. The resolution was adopted without discussion. City-Camp Committee Meets. Several complaints from soldiers at Camp Jackson against merchants in Columbia were heard -by the Camp Jackson-Columbia arbitration committee !n the Chamber of Commerce I rooms. This committee is vested with ' semi-official and conciliatory powers to arrange all complaints between en- ; listed men and civilians. It was appointed at the instance of the government and has brought about many sat- i lsfactory adjustments of matters concerning men at Camp Jackson. The bill by James 1. Davis to require circuit Judges to Ale their decisions within <0 days from final argument was sent to third reading. Feb. It.?The bill establishing a board of tax assessors and abolishing the tax commission occupied the attention of -the senate. Senator McColl said that it was "incumbent upon the proponents of the bill to develop the indictments against the present systm as represented bj the tax commission." The budget bill for appropriations which had been suggested by Governor Cooper was considered and passed to a third reading with notice of general amendments. House. Good roads legislation originating in the house this session was discarded with reckless abandon. The uio vt uie reuirai committee s sun atttate bill, which. was a combination of all the Mam proposed, was reject ed by a vote of 51 to 63. The Burgu* son measure, for whicb the committee measure was a substitute, was then rejected by a vote of 27 to 76. The hands of the clock had already pass ed the meridian when this last vote was taken. The Beam guard htll from the senate to raise the age limit for road taxes from 18 to 21 years was passed by the house and ordered enrolled for ratification. The McMillan-Kinard-Davis measure to set aside $50,000 from the state sinking fund as the nucleus for a student loan fund in lieu of scholarships at state institutions was sent to third reading. The I*aney bill from the senate to ppropriate $50,000 for vocational training in agriculture, trades and industries and in home economics was passed by the house and ordered enrolled for ratification. Senate. Feb. 19.?The Confederate veterans of the state would have had happy moments if they had been in the state senate. As expressed by Senator Alexander of Pickens they are all now past three score and ten. the slotted span of life for man, and "If wo are over to do anything for them, now Is the time." He wanted all to receive the full pension which the state allows iu i la.^a a mt- num ui it year, and the veterans in the Confederate Home in addition to their maintenance are to receive $75 n year "spending money." This created a Confederate pension department with a commissioner at *2.000 a year and $2,000 for an office force. The bill carries an appropriation of $350,000 which Senator Christenaen said was sufficient to put all Confederate veterans in class A. House. The Citadel hill, calling for an appropriation of $300,000 with which to hnlld a now plant i? Charleston was passed and sent to the senate. The bill calliug for $100,000 for buildings and maintenance for the state training school for the feebleminded was also passed. Proponents of good roads legislation gathered their forces and again determined to put some form of good roads legislation through the present session of the general assembly. A bill was Introduced by the committee on roads, bridges and ferries to levy a three mill tax on all taxable property for road purposes ?nd to meet the aid offered by the federal government. Both Houses. Feb. 20.?The senate today had an alarm Hounded over the utter failure thus far to do anything with reference to legislation in the interest of good roads. It is apparent that the session will continue next week and Senator Johnstone said that it was well for the session to continue if for no other reason than the importance and necessity of passing legislation for good roads. He felt that it would be a great mistake and great wrong to the people if the legislature left here without doing something for permanent road improvement. The house of representatives devoted its whole morning session to the "sounding" of its calendar which waa interrupted at 1:30 o'clock by the house going to the senate for the ratification of acts. This procedure likewise broke into a spirited debate A*t thn 1 _ wu kite aim ito anu uciuoiun ui variUIIS species of dogs and whether a tax of $1.25 a head would be burdensome on the people of the state. Inventory of 8tock Required. D. C. Hey ward, collector of internal revenue, said that as the new war revenue act -s now sure of becoming a law and as under its provisions all dealers in tobacco, snuff. cigars and cigarettes would be required to pay additional taxes, that dealers in these articles will be required to make an inventory of any stock which they may have on hand on the morning nfter the bill has been approved and signed by the President. There Is no probability that the bill will be vetoed. Semi-Centennial Celebration. A semi-centennial celebration of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society, which is also the State Fair Association, will be held in Columbia April 12. A committee consisting of W. A. Clark, chairman; A. B. Langley and D. O. Ellison was appointed to make arrangements for the celebration which It Ik expected will be largely attended by members of the association from all sections. The celebration will be in honor of the members who were at the reorganization meeting in 1869. Labor Shortage Slight. Washington (Special). ? Employment conditions in the Carolinas during the last week were summarized by the United States employment service as follows: Reports from Charleston and Columbia indicate slight shortages, and there appears to be a shortage of about 2.000 laborers throughout the State. North Carolina reports slight shortages with an equality of labor supply and demand at Raleigh and WinstonSalem. - ' . v , 100K AT CHILD'S T0N60E IF SICK, j GROSS, FEVERISH HURRY, MOTH SRI RSMOVS POISONS PROM LITTLE STOMACH, LIVKR, BOWELS.
