TO STATE AS A WHOLE
' i.
Oat«( 170 AeU, L*m TUa Tm Ara of.
State-Wida haport.
The legitUtlve tession of 1914
drawing to a doee. It it not now a
question of whether this or the other
bill will pass but when will the Assemb
ly adjourn sine die. It is altogether
and entirely a question for the decision
of the honorable Senate. The whole
matter of adjournment hinges .on the
flqal action on the appropriation and
genera! supply bills. Over on the
Senate side the appropriation bill has
been passed to third reading for amend
ment on final reading, if there are to
’ be changes. The House is anxious, in
fact, it is getting peevish, waiting for
the honorable Senate to pass the appro
priation and supply bills, quit and go
home. Of course, there is no hope—
not the least—of passing even a frac
tional part of the measures that are on
either Calendar, therefore the idea is
to get through with the * necessary
money bills and quit. The law makers
have been'On duty for the full forty
days contemplated by the Constitution,
, and for which pay is allowed, and
whatever extra service or board bills
have to be paid beyond the forty days
is chargeable to patriotic duty, and
many members think—and with reason
—that they have been “on the job”
quite long enough and are ready to
quit, -j \ i < " ) '
The work of the present session em
phasizes the wisdom of biennial ses
sions for law-making bodies, in that
the State can easiely do without jars
and radical changes for two-year inter
vals. V *

~ Little of State-Wide Import.
Whether it be for political reasons', a
lack of political courage, a disposition
to restore peace and harmony or a real
laiasez fa ire policy thcare^witi .he-npj-ad-
iciT legislation at this session—nothing
to mark the year. There have been
up to date formal ratifications of one
hundred and seventy-one Acts and joint
resolutions; must of them have been
about school bonds, roads, county of
ficers, the right to buy or sell county
lands, commutation taxes, rural police,
bonds, school trustees and the like. Out
of the entire hundred and seventy-one
Acts that have been duly ratified less
than^teirhave any semblance of being
State-wide in import. The only bills
that are included in this list with a
semblance of State-wide consequences
are:
The Act to allow hofhe insurance
companies to meet rates made by out
side insurance brokers.
Extending the right to condemn
lands so that cities wanting water sheds
can condemn lands.
Permitting the consolidation of the
Charleston and Western Carolina rajr-
road with the Atlantic Coast Line sys
tem.
Allowing convicts time for good be
havior—this will not be worth while if
there are no convicts to whom the Fri
day statute will apply.
The McQueen Anti-Hazing Act.
Providing for a general and adequate
system for disbarment proceedings.
Mr Beamguard's amendment to the
General Drainage Act.
Mr Clifford Thompson’s Act as to
warning boards at railroad crossings.
Tiiis 'a list of the general ‘Xcta, that
have found their way, thus far, in the
full forty days to the Governor’s of
fice.
Of the hundred and seventy-one
Acts ratified three have been vetoed
and the vetoes have not yet been acted
upon.
The House holds as unfinished busi
ness’fwJm the Senate side the McLau-
rin-.McQueen warehouse system mea
sure. There are no other important
Senate measures on the House side of
decided importance.
~ The House on the other hand has
given the Senate’a good, big burden of
unfinished business, first in importance
being the 2-cent mileage bill, then the
Saunders “red light” bill, the Harper
optjpnal compulsoro education bill, the
proposition to sell one Or both of the
State Penitentiary farms, the Miley re
form primary issue, the banker’s Nego
tiable Instrument Act, the Rittenberg
high license system as applicable to
Charleston and other matters.
Sassion* of Good Feeling.
As has been repeatedly said in this
correspondence this has been a session
of good feeling and avoidance of every
thing that might engender feeling. It is
perhaps well that it is thus.
V The overshadowing aide issue has
been the so-called investigation into
the affairs of the State Hospital for the
Insane. At the outset no-one in par
ticular was charged with Anything, but
it soon developed that Dr. Eleanors B.
Saunders was the central figure And
that the Issue was whether she should
be made a sacrifice or not The vindi-
cation and honors of Dr Saunders have
been complete tnfSr A&e has been the
; of all who must admire an Unua-
f strong and brilliAat woman. The
with which she “WQund up” those
