COULD QUIT SATURDAY
NOT LIKELY LAWMAKERS WILL
STOP THEN, THOUGH.
Seems Almost Certain Legislature is
to Remain in Session to
Constitutional Limit.
Columbia, Feb. 3.?There is some
prospect of an adjournment sine die
of the legislature next Saturday.
However, if the members desire this
legislature not to go down in the
liistory of the State as a lawmaking
body with practically nothing but
the appropriation measure 'and a
mass of local bills to its credit, it
is probable that there will be two
more weeks of the legislative mill.
Altnougn cne nouse uas &iwu mc
appropriation measure its final reading,
a large number of important
measures clutter up the calendars of
both bodies, some of them bills for
war legislation, and it is not likely
that there will he ap adjournment
without th'e passage of the
more important of them.
House Bills Remaining.
On the house side the more important
of these measures on second
reading are those providing for the
creation of a State council of defense,
putting an increase to the
bonded indebtedness of the State in
a referendum, providing for a constitutional
convention, stabilizing of
street car fares between training
camps and adjacent cities, survey of
property of the State for assessment
purposes, repealing the State income
tax law, regulating the pension laws
of the State, the county supply bill,
licensing of fire insurance agents,
several measures relating to free
* scholarships and free tuition in the
' State institutions of higher learning,
several measures amending the bank,
ing laws of the State, increasing the
;-v? I '
' salaries of State officers, abolishing
the State board of charities and corrections,
making days on which primary
elections are?h^ld legal holidays,
providing for a State correctional
administration, exemption of
all South Carolina electors in the
military and naval service from paying
poll taxes, reconstructing the
State department of agriculture,
commerce and industries, regulating
the sale of paregoric and certain patent
medicines, allowing women to

employees semi-monthly, several
measures dealing with the vice situation,
regulating the department of
agriculture, commerce and industries,
creating a State council of defense,
and providing for the physical
and dental examination of children
attending the public schools.
When the house adjourned Friday
afternoon to reconvene Tuesday afternoon
at 3 o'clock, there were 200 |
fW second reading bills on its calendar I
to be disposed of, many of them of
controversial character. The senate
adjourned Thursday afternoon to
j| meet again Monday afternoon at 2
B o'clpgfr'Vith 197 second reading bills
iW to be passed upon.
^ Defense Council Bill First.
[R When the house convenes Tuesday
H| the bill creating the State council of
defense will have the right of way,
IT as it was under debate when that
body adjourned Friday. There is
fj bound to be considerable debate on
this measure as there will be an effort
to substitute the ways and
means committee amendments prok
viding for the selection of the person&
nel of the body by the various coun+tt
Hoiotratinnc anH the reduction of
[the appropriations from $50,000 to
$25,000. As the present council of
defense has a large number of
friends in the house who do not desire
to see the splendid work accomplished
by the present members
tampered with, there will be a battle
to the finish. It is expected that
the measure as originally drawn will
SWORD FOR ENS. ETHEREDGE.
I^egislature Recognizes Gallant Service
of Young Carolinian.
George 0. Etheredge, ensign in
the United States navy, will receive
a sword, suitably engraved, in recognition
of the bravery he displayed
in going to the rescue of members of
the crew of the sinking Paddlesford.
A resolution calling for the appointment
of committees from the two
houses of the general assembly to
solicit subscriptions for this purpose
has been adopted by the legislature.
Ensign Etheredge is assigned to the
gunboat Annapolis and was detailed
to command and launch a life boat
in making the rescue. The rescue
was made at much peril to himself
and his men, the boat capsizing once
during the venture. The act was
praised by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and he was officially gazetted in
the army and navy journals of January
12.
Ensign Etheredge is a native of
Saluda county, his father being Col.
Alvin Etheredge. His mother died
only a few months ago. Before marriage
she was a Miss Hammond, of
Worcester, Mass., a relative of the
late Governor Hammond, of South
Carolina.
After finishing in the course in the
high school at Saluda, Ensign Etheredge
entered Furman university
where he remained a session and a
half, until he won an appointment to
Annapolis. He completed his course
at the naval academy in 1917, being
a member of the class which was
graduated one year ahead of time at
the direction of President Wilson and
the secretary of the navy. He was
on the first battleship to pass through
the Panama canal, traveling to the
Panama Pacific exposition. "
He is now 22 years old. In his
early school days he was an omniverous
reader, particularly books relating
to the lives of great military lead
ers, especially Jackson and Lee.

be passed.
The likelihood is that the council
of defense measure will sidetrack the
county supply measure, which has
not been considered on second reading
yet, and-if it does it probably
will torpedo the plans for adjourning
sine die Saturday, as the supply
measure will have to be plentifully
amended as some of the delegations
have not finished their county estimates.
"This will delay the second
reading of the bill until Wednesday,
as neither hoqse will meet Tuesday
night because of the reception to be
given to the members by Governor
Manning at the executive mansion
that evening. Its third reading
could not be had before Thursday,
when it would be reported to the senate
for its first reading. Expeditious
handling could pass it through that
body by 'Saturday, provided it is not
obstructed by other legislation.
Appropriation Bill.
The general appropriations bill,
carrying a total of $3,176,816.37 and
a levy of eight and three-fourths
mills, was given its final reading by
the house Friday and will be reported
to the senate when it reconvenes
Monday afternoon. The finance committee
of that body has already been
working on the measure and knows
what it will do. It will come up for
second reading and amendment during
the middle of the week and will
be sent to free conference during the
latter part of the week. It it understood
that the finance committee
will make little change in the totals
as reported from the house, but the
law enforcement fund, refused t>y
both the ways and means committee
of the house and the members of the
lower body, may be inserted. It if is
this will precipitate a fight in the
j lower DOQV on me tree lumcicutc
report, the rejection of which would
mean that the general assembly
would have to stay in session
until a new general appropriations
bill is drafted and passed
through both houses, or an
entraordinary session would have
to be called to make the appropriations.
Last year this item, along
with a number of others, was inserted
by the senate, also some by the
free conference committee, and the
house came near rejecting the re,port.
j When an attempt was made to
have the house adopt an amendment
calling for $25,000 for a law enforce
I mem runa last inuxsuay, a. pruiuiiged
debate was precipitated, which re'
suited in its defeat by a vote of 39
'to 57. An analysis of the vote, shows
'that members of nine delegations
[present and split even on the vote,
eighteen counties cast majority votes
against it, twelve delegations voted
solidly for it and one cast a ballot in
favor of it. The representatives of
two counties?Calhoun and Jasper?
'did not vote.
