VOLUME XXI. CAMDJGN. 8. C.. FRIDAY. JANUARY 28. 1910. NO. 2. tll-HOf jp sun Below ih given a brict nummary of the doings of the law-makers of tbf South Carolina Geo oral Assembly day by day: TUESDAY? Jan. 18th, - The Senate- The Charleston trad ing mump bill lma received a favor able report; the University scholar ship bill passed increbblng scholar ship >11 normal department to 1?4, appropriation is about $8,000; Car lisle 'y bill providing that the term ol' office of the county superinten dent of Spartanburg shall be four years and the same for that of the <ounty supervisor j>a.ssed with the aiiu'iHlment that this hill shall also refer, lo Laurens county; although several prohibitionists opposed the measure and apparently there was a disposition among a number of the senate members not to further the law of injunction,. Oraydon 's bill whi< h was drawn in the olllce of the attorney general passed in the sen ale. This is in connection lo enforc ing the dispensary law; Clifton suc ceeded in getting in an amendment tc the effect that no owner out oi Possession shall be punished by tint or imprisonment without actual no tire of the order of injunction; fav orable report. was made on Dillon county, and the matter is now set t led. The House? Consumed almost all of the session in the. diseusssion ol the lull providing for a pension foi tiremnn? and after a hard light it wnt ordered to a thiivl rending. The bill provides (hat all insurance companies doing business in this &tate shall tile with (he comptroller 'general a certi lied statement they would provide (lit sum of $1 on every $100 written foi premiums for firemen who were injur ed in the discharge of their duties. The bill was introduced by fl arris and Seibelss presented figures to show that the oust of establishing this pen sion found would fall upon the policy holders; Doar's sb ill prohibiting the manufacture, sale or use of noiseless firearms; the report of the, committee on free conference on the trip to Clemson college, fixing Friday, Janu ary 128, was adopted. THURSDAY, Jan. 20th. The Senate ? Senator Clifton suc ceeded in gertiug into the Uraydon in.junetion hill an amendment doing away with -'that portion of the hill -'that provides thai the application for injunction may he made before a circuit judge anywhere in (he Stale. The effect is to leave the law as it now stands, practically, it being provided iliai the application shall he before the judge of the circuit or the judg? who may happen to be in the circuit at (he (ime or the nearest judge .in an adjoining county. The House- ? The Stale-wide prohi bition bills ? wcrV introduced in" the seiiatc.and house by Senator Carlisle. This year's measure, has practically the same provisions as the bill of J last year except the compromise fea ture that was last session added in the senate in reference to the elec tions in the several counties. There are several new features, however, in the hill introduced. The first sec tion provides a prohibition for the manufacture, sale, etc., of liquors just .as was provided in the former bill, which is in force now in prohi bition counties. This ? section also provides that wholesale druggists may lawfully sell in wholesale quantities ?pure alcohol. The retail druggist sec tion of the present prohibition law is inserted in the bill, and the other medicinal sections of the law. A sec tion (hat was probably inspired by some dbbato in the senate this year is : ''That nothing in this act shall pre vent the sale of wood or denatured idtVi !:?.<! the social serving of such liquors' or beverages in private re.si <h nr-cp in ordinary social intercourse, or the manufacture ' and keeping of winis made from berries and grapes * 1'i.v domestic purposes only." A drastic -section of the new bill is that there is no alternative of fine in i of violation of the law. The violation section is: "That any person who. violates .any previsions of this act shall be ? .guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be imprisoned at hard labor for a period of not less than three months, nor more than one year and for the second or subse quent offense, uj>on conviction there id*, shall be imprisoned at hard labor -for not less than one year, nor more than five years." * , The druggists' fine is the samo as is now the ease, vir., a revoking of license for one year for each offense. The bill* concludes: "That nothing in this act shall be construed to pre vent the indictment, prosecution and <*mvicition of any person who has been guilty of a violation of any law now in force relating to the subject of alcoholic liquors and beverages in this State or who may violate said Jaw at any time prior to the time ' w.hch this act shall take effect or to I .affect or abate any indictments, pro- 1 seditions or warrants now pending J for a violation thereof." The act, if passed, would take ef fect April 1910. The bill also has : m repealing clanae. ? ? FRIDAY ? Jan. Slat. The JSeuaU. ? The Dillon county !>i!l passed third reading. Dillon was placed j|fk the "fourth circuit, Mont r, of Marion, wanted Dillon _ in the iwelfUi eireoit; the ' liquor bill and the bill ehang* Us sites- S9SSf9??if were the most import an t of the oth er measures considered. The Ott? measure pasted third reading and wut ordered sent to ^Iim house, while tin railroad measure went to third read irjfi with notiee of general amend ments; among the following % bill? passed third reading were: Oaydon: relating to certain public nuisance! and the abatement thereof by in junction; to declare the duty of the railroad commission as to interstate rates, and provide for expenses; Wade, to amend section 2007 of vol ume 1 of the code of laws of South Carolina relating to the j>owers of the railroad commissioners. The House. ? llydrick's bill, require ing that crops be up and growing be fore a mortage be valid, was killed. The bill might bo termed a "follow up" of the repeal of the lien law at the last session and in most instances the same arguments were gone over. The bill was finally killed by a vote of 00 to 47"; It ticker's bill abolishing capital punishment except in cases of criminal assault or attempted crimin al assault was killed; Dixon's bill making it a misdemeanor for any person to dispose of a white child to a negro, was passed after an amend ment had been inserted making an exception in cases where children had been temporarily placed in the cus tody of negroes in cases of emer gency; Mr. Foster's bill making it a misdemeanor to point a gun or pistol at another person passed to third reading, without debate, as did Kd wards' bill authorizing magistrates to indorse warrants issued by mayors or intendents, A bill has been introduced in (In house and senate for a State board o! tax assessors to take the. place of tin State board of equalization and tlx present State board of assessors. Tin measure provides that the board shal" consist of Ave members, the cotnp trollcr general to be one of the mem bers. The board would have chargt of tlre-worlringjrtwd administration oi the tax laws and the assessment ol the property of the State. SATURDAY? Jan. 22d. The Senate ? The first important engagement in the liquor fi^ht in tin Legislature begins in the Senat< Thursday. Senator Carlisle having gotten his State-wide bill substitut ed for the Otts bill of last session h< as to gain a high plaee for it on tin calendar; the Senate passed two out of-t lie-ordinary/ bills, one by Senatoi Sullivan prohibiting minors from playing pool or billards ii ti < t ino oiu er by' Harmon prohibiting the manu facture or sale of any hut saf\>t\ matches. The bill, which lias passed the House, getting through last ses sion, was amende/! bo as to make it effective a year .hence; the Senate killed the hill to abolish the Confed erate infirmary; the bill allowing no taries public who are stockholders, directors or officers oi' banks or other corporations to take acknowledge ments if the papers do noi ailed the person taking the acknowledgements was passed. This is to allow the of tieers and others connected with banks if they be notaries public to fix up papers for others in the hanks; the bill ta establish Dillon county passed third reading. The House ? Among the bills pass ed to third reading: Riley's, bill making it a misdemeanor for a bank officials to issue a false certificate; Richard's bill amending the State law on the militia in minor particu lars; Foster's bill providing for the introductin of records or .bills in trials against common carriers. ?The members of the Legislature who made the majority report in the asylum investigation have prepared bills which will bo introduced in both houses this week to carry out thfcii recommendations. One hill provides for an election at the general elec tion next fall on the proposition t< have the State make a $1,000, 00( bond issue with which to erect t\\. new asylums for the separate care o' white and negro patients. The otli er provides for a commission office t< he selected by the Governor to get options for. sites and plans for tlx new plants and report to tiie Legis lature convening a year hence.* I n der the constitution the bond issu< must have the vote of two-thirds tin elected members of the Lcgislatun and its fate is extremely doubtful u. thc minority's recommendation to re model the present plant has a stronu following in both houses. MONDAY? Jan. 24th. The Senate. ? Carlisle pushed mat ters by having the prohibition bill of last year substituted by the new pro hibition bill of his own and thereby the position on the calendar consider ably advanced. Ever since the "com promise measure" of last session ami the subsequent elections in the 21 counties of this State, it has been evi dent that if the prohibitionists de rided to ' press their claims further the St Ate senate would be the scene of combat. The senate's position on the whiskey question has not yet been made known. As has been already stated there is a difference of opin ion a* to whether the compromise of last session should be binding or not on some of the members. Although the members now appear to be prac tically evenly divided, cither on the question of prohibition or whether or not the compromise should bo bind ing on jtbis session, the vdtrmr the adoption of the bill as passed in the senate last session would indicate that 30 put of the 39 members present voted for the measure. Some of the prohibitionists do not consider the compromise binding, for a State-wide bill has been introduced in both the bowse and the senate. But oa pre dicted the first fight on the bill will be in the senate, the measure being on the calendar as an adjonrned de bate bill for Thursday. % PROBING 1 Jttlf 1ISI Attorney General Decides to Proae cute tlie Meat Combine. Washington, Special. ? Til# lJe?f Trust is to be prosecuted by the nationul Government. The Depart ment of Justice evidently believes its existence is u leading factor in maintain# the pveaeut high pricea of fresh meats. The contemplated ac tion of the department foUows an investigation which has been con ducted by its special agents for months. Initial proceedings was be gun before the grand jury at Chicago Monday, and may include both civil and criminal action. The llrms mentioned in connection with the ease include. Swift & Co.. Morris & Co,, and Armour & Co., all big pucking house concerns, and all of whom are said to be interested in ?the National Packing Company. The three tirst -named concerns are com uglily rejMjrted to control the nation al corporation for their common bene fit. The aim of the Government attor neys has been to ascertain the rela tions between the several firms, indi vidually, and the National Packing Company, for the purpose of deter mining whether they have operated to control the prices of fresh meats, which, according to almost universal complaint, have been going higher and higher in price. From the fact that proceedings are to be institu ted the inference is that the oflleiala feci satisfied they have, a good case. Suit may bo brought to dissolve the company under the Sherman Antitrust law, as an organization, operating in restraint of interstate trade. Proceedings against individu als also may result. The investigations conducted by. the' Government resulting in the deter mination to proceed in the courts against the alleged combination had their inception in an inquiry into the practices of one of the Western rail roads in making shipments foiv Mor ris & Co.. which were said to amount practically to rebating.

Tho forward part of tho train passed over the break, whatever it was, In safety. The day coach, which wns the fourth from the end of the train, was tho first to leave the rails.

C.- President Taft? i addressing the annual mooting of the j Anaoclation of Life Insurance Presi dents, hold out. no hopo for the enact ment of a Federal law to govern the companies. He advised the ersicutlv* officers to bond their efforts to obtain uniform legislation In the States. "You are hero to secure uniformity In Insurance legislation throughout the country," said the President. "You are very sorry that the Unitod States may not find In the Constitu tion thfe right to render uniform the ' insurance business throughout this country. Certainly tho Supremo Court seems to havo settled that question. And your only recourse, | therefore, Is to sccuro such common action by tho States that the result will be similar to a single Federal act controlling the business. "Tho only function that the United States can perform Ib to pass a model law In tho District .of Columbiu, and there show to the world what Con gress, aided possibly by a scientific commission, shall believe to be tho best kind of Insurance law. I shall be very glad, In so far as any power lies In me, to encourage such action. I "I have boon on the bench and at the bar, and I have ruled that men must read their policies to know what they contain in order to havo an understanding of what tli>> con tract is, and I am conscious of never having read any of the policies which I havo taken out, because I trusted the man who explained It to me. But Congress, by a model law, can effect a very great purpose, and if there la anything 1 can legitimately do to con tribute to your objoct, 1 shall be very glad to do it." President Taft referred to tho In vestigation of life insurance as an introspective investigation into tho business of tho country. "It did show instances which aroused tho business community to the need of a housecloanlng," said President. Taft. "I havo no doubt you aro glad of that examination, and its results, which was the vindication of the general honesty and integrity of Amerjcan business men. "I havo no doubt that tho result may havo been legislation that was somewhat extreme. Tho public some times wants things done with a thump, but In tho end the pendulum will swing back, and what Is reason able will prevail." Io the President's audience were a cozen or more Coventors of States, and nearly 200 leaders of the life in surance business in the United States. BOASTED HE WAS A JH HDMHFH.
