" '
Columbia, B p.. Inn t 'II, ?
Mineral assomb \y of South Carolina.
Chosen at the election taut fall, will
convene at noon on Tuesday, Janu
n'u *or a forty days' session.
*he first business before both
houses- will be perfecting organ |?a
Hon and the swearing' in of new
following which (ho an
nujl message of Governor B lease
WWl be read.
The senate Is composed of forty
eigftt member*, one from each oouil
vi half of" them elected every two
J2IIJ- TheM ho,dov'er senators will
caucus on Monday night preceding
the meeting and nominate a presi
dent pro tern, sergeant at arms,
chaplain and readiug clerk and
also the chairman and members of
the important committees, Lieuten
ant Governor C. A. Smith will call
the senate to order.
Will lle-eltHt office?.
It is practically assured that Sen
ator P, L. Hardin, veteran In point
of continuous service, will be named
president pro tern, Clerk Mann, Ser
geant at Armfe Schumpert, and Read
lng Clerk Stokes will be re-elected.
Senator Stokes is the ranking mem*
get on the finance committee and<
it is believed that he will be made
chairman. Senator Carlisle wilL
likely, again be named as head of
the judiciary committee.
Retiring Clerk James A. Hoyt
will call the house to order and it
is practically assured that Speaker
M. L. Smith, Clerk Hoyt, Sergeant
at-Arms Wilson, Reading clerk Simp
son will all be re-elected. The
chairmanship of the ways and means
committee lies between Leader Rem
bert, of the Blease forces, and Rep
resentative Dick,' of Sumt4rrv
ranking member of the old commit
tee. Some think that Speaker Smith
win name Mr. P,embert to the
chairmanship of this all important
committee for the sake of harmony,
while others say that Mr. Dick will
be named. Mr. Vanderhorst, chair
man of the last judiciary committee,
and Mr. Brlce are leaders for this
place, with the chances favoring Mr.
Vanderhorst. The speaker names
all committees in the hou^e.
Immediately after ^organization
thO annual message of the governor
will be delivered in both branches.
Very little is known of - what the
message will contain, it is thought
that' the governor will renew his
attack on the Parker cotton mill
merger, assail the hosiery Tlttlir at
the- state penitentiary, advocate a
flat 2-eent. passenger rate for all
railroads, anfi urge the holding
down of appropriations to the mini
mum. jt is said that certain rec
ommendations In governor's mes
sage will . excite state-wide -Interest
and will be backed up by bills in
both houses fathered by members
friendly to the administration.
Bain of Measures. '
Members are ready to rain a de
luge of bills on the legislature.
Among the most Important matters
which will probably be offered ar^:
A bill to abolish , the hosiery mill
at the state penitentiary; a ?bill to
provide a two-cent passenger rate
On railroads; a ' ill for a state ware
house system for storing cotton,
perfected so as to meet the defects
of tne bill passed last year and.
which was declared unconstitution
al by t^e supreme court;- a reso
lution to submit to the people an
amendment .-to- 4he? constitution- -so
as to provide for the election of all
judges by the people; a bill to raise
the Binaries of all Judges; a bill to
perfect the law: in relatloft to the
electrocutlon?of condemned crimi
nals; a bill providing . fof, compul
sory education; a bill providing for
women suffrage;, a bill-- to prohibit
hazing in colleges, and a mass of
local bills, chief among which will
be one to provide a high license
system for the regulation of the
liquor traffic In the* city of Charles
ton, and a bill amending the Char
leston commission form of govern
ment act so as to give the people
the immediate right- to vote on It.
The term of Judge Seas, of Spar
tanburg, on the circuit bench ex
pires, but he will likely be re-elect
