By order of County Board. ‘ '31-21 isa resume—of—lira weekly work of the General Assembly of South Carolina: * Senate. v Columbia, Feb. 14.—The senate passed the Dukes resolution sent ovlr 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 1 labor battalion at Camp Jackson and that unless these men are discharged im mediately their labor will be lost to the farmers for this crop season, and urging that they be discharged at an early date. The bills of Senator Christensen 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 commit tee, was given it^ final reading. Ah item was added appropriating $2,(Jb0 fo rlegally approved claims to owners of condemned cattle slaugh tered in accordance with law. After considerable ( debate, the house, by a vote of 52 to 27, added $10,000 for South Carolina’s pro rata share of cottqn representatives to the peace conference in France. By va vote of 16 to 62 the house re fused to increase the salaries of the .members of the general assembly $100. The amendment to the appro priation bill, calling for $16,900, or $100 for each member of the two. houses, was introduced by Represen tative Wise of Charleston. The bill as It now stands calls for an increase of 10 per cent, in the sal aries of all clerks and attaches of the various departments of the state government, this total increase amounted to $8,900. Senate. Feb. Feb. 17.—The senate consid ered only uncontested matters during the eprly hours of the session and then trtok up the two hills by Senatof Bahks^oij' state insurance. The first bill provides for the insur ance of state warehouses, and cotton therein by th e*inking fund commis sion, leaving it to the commission to fix rates and by an amendment offer ed by Sefvator Marion of Chester limiting the amount that may he pine ed bvthe sinking fund on any one warehouse at $10,000 and requiring the sinking fund to reinsure the bal ance in reputable companies. The second bill removes the limita tion heretofore put upon the accumu lation of insurance funds in the hands of the sinking fund to $1,000,000 and the cessation of the payment of pre miums. Under the provisions of this blir the accumulations are to con tinue and the premiums are to be paid annually. HSU te. Among the third reading bills pass ed by the bouse was thaL by_Mr. Ber ry of Orangeburg, to authorize banks, banking institutions, tjaist companies and insurance companies and judges of probate or persons acting as exec utors 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 is- * mpe warrants to enforce agricultural j liens was also passed v The Laney bill to appropriate $50,- 000 for the vocational training in pub lic schools was sent to third reading. The training is to be in agriculture and trades and Industries. Gas Bill Favorably Reported. Senator Pearce’s gas bill was re ported 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-ser vice corjj ■-'’tion 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 smt to determine the correctness of the-ac-^rint, ser- vice continuing in the meantime. The bill by James E. Davis to re quire circuit judges to file their de cisions within 60 days from final ar gument was sent to third reading. Senate. Feb, 18.—The bill establishing a board of tax assessors and abolishing the tax commission occupied the at tention of the senate. Senator Mc- Coll said that it was "incumbent up on the proponents of the bill'to de velop the indictments against the present systm as represented by the tax commission.” - The budget bill for appropriations which had been suggested by Gov ernor 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 dis carded with reckless abandon. The vote of the central committee’s sub To Stimulate Epreign Trade. Representative Etheredge of Saluda has introduced l p the house a concur rent resolution calling for the appoint* ment of a committee from the two houses to confer with the Stats ware house commissioner and other per sons, looking to the formation of a cotton cbrporatlon to stimulate trade in the foreign field, as suggested by W. P. Gr-ttarding, governor of the board of directors of the federal re- setwte ft^stem. when in Columbia. The resolution was adopted without dis cussion. stitute bill, which was a combination of all the ideas proposed, 'was reject ed by a vote of 51 to 63. The Burgu- son measure, for which the committee measure was a substitute, was then rejected by a vote of 27 tb 76. The hands of the clock had already pass ed the meridian when this last vote was taken. The Beamguard bill from the sen ate 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 meas ure to set aside $50,000 from the state sinking fund as the nucleus for a stu dent loan fund fn lieu of scholarships at state institutions was sent to third reading. The Laney bill from the senate to pproprlate $50,000 for vocational training in agriculture, trades and in dustries and in home economics was passed by the house and ordered en rolled 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 Pick'ens they are all now past three score and, ten, the alotted span of life for man, and “if we are ever to do anything for them, now is the time.” He wanted all to receive the' full pension which the state allows to class “A" the great sum of $96 a year, and the veterans in the Confed erate Home in addition to their main- tennhee are to receive $75 a year "spending money.” This creates a Confederate pension department with a commissioner, afe $2,000 a year and $2,000 for an office, force. The bill carries an appropria? tion of $350,000 which Senator Chris tensen said was sufficient to put' all Confederate veterans in class A. House. The Citadel bill, calling for .an ap propriation of $300,000 with which^to build « new plant in Charleston was pas.-ed and smit to the senate. The bill calling for $100,000 for buildings and maintenance for the state training school for the feeble minded was also passed. Proponents of good roads legisla tion gathered their forces - and again determined to. put some form, o! good roads legislation through the present session of the general assem bly. A bill . was introduced by the, committee on roads, bridges and fer ries to levy a three mill tax on all taxable property for road purposes and to meet the aid offered by the federal government. Both Houses. Feb. 20.—The senate today had an alarm sounded over the utter failure thus far to do-nnything with refer ence 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 import ance and necessity of passing legis lation for good roads. He felt that it would be a great mistake and great wrong to the people if the legisla * ture left here without doing some thing for permanent road improve ment. ' . - The house of representatives de voted its whole morning session to the “sounding” of IIS' calendar which was 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 on the merits and demerits of various species of dogs and whether a tax of *1 .25 a head would be burdensome or the people of the state. Inventory of Stock Required. * D. C. Heyward, 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 nay additional taxes, that dealers in these articles will be required to make an inventory of any stocky which they may have'on hand on the morning »fte£. the bill has been approved and signed by the President. There is no probability that the bill will be ve toed.
