WHAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
HAS DONE AND EXPECTS TO DO.
Columbia, Jan. 21.—Special: Jnst
about two weeks of the legislative ses
sion have gone by. In that time there
has been considerable work done. The
eeesion thus far has been one of the
very busiest in recent years. It has not
tieen so much that bills have been
adopted and new laws have fonnd their
way to the governor’s office, but many
measures have been started in that di
rection, bnt, what is best of all, most of
the propositions after being discussed,
have been defeated, and the statute
book has been left without further
com plications. 0
There has been the utmost good feel
ing on the part of members. There is
mo sign of factional feeling, the fact of
the matter is there has not been for
years, and those who have thought of
unfurling such a flag have noted the
•end experience of some of their prede
cessors and have undertaken to find
new methods of achieving prominence.
During the entire two weeks there
has not been a harsh or ugly speech on
the floor of either house, and from the
present tone there is not likely to be.
Tomorrow's session promises to he
brief. The sessions bigin at noon and
at 9 o'clock the members hear the din
ner call At present the committees
are hard at work, and it would be use
less to undertake to hold afternoon or
night sessions.
The elections for the present session,
except those connected with the State
dispensary, hate been scheduled for
Tuesday, and there is naturally a great
deal of interest in the results.
Both the house and senate have de
clined to hold any dispensary elections
for the present and the present outlook
is thnt should there he any dispensary
elections they will be in the very last
days of the session, when it will have
been determined beyond cavil what, if
any, dispensary legislation will be
enacted at this session. The prospects
are that the elections in this connection
will not amount to anything much, ex
cept in the event of entire failure to
obtain any legislation whatever. The
dispensary folks are working with zeal
and Intelligence for the bill offered
by the dispensary committee, and
which will represent the concerted
effort of the friends of the system. This
bill provides fpr the same machinery
and conduct of the business as if half of
the State had not already gotten ‘•from
under” the dispensary system.
Objection has been made to the Mor
gan local option bill on the ground that
. it may involve the counties that have
already voted the dispensary out in new
elections. If such he the case and this
is not desired, it can readily be amend
ed. It is also suggested that the oon
stitutional provision as to the granting
of licenses is somewhat different to the
provisions of the Morgan hill, bnt if
licenses should be permitted, it is sag
geeted that there would hardly be any
counties that would take this option as
against county dispensaries, such as are
in operation in Georgia.
There has not yet been any Legisla
tion on taxation. The disposition is to
await the Anal report and suggestions of
Comptroller General Jones, who is held
In high eeteem by the members. It is
likely that tiie appropriations will be
ramie by the assembly, hot that the
State levy will he left' for future con
sideration. The general assembly will
have adjourned before it is poetible to
aseertain the result of the new assess
ment of property in the State, and it it
the opinion of Mr Jones that beat
thing is to indicate, in the appropria
tion Mil, what money is to be expended,
aad^hea leave it to the-Comptroller
General, and perhaps others, to fix the
of the

received letters
of the bill on the
va
ground th<it it will injure discipline,
and making the further statement that
it is intended to further coaeolt the
wishes of the parents, and asking that
in the meanwhile that there be no each
legislation.
This is not the first time that such
legislation has been suggested. Several
years ago an Act was passed abolishing
fraternities at all institutions receiving
aid or money from the State. This bill
was offered by Mr Garris and
adopted with very little opposition.
The bill of the dispensary investigat
ing committee giving it farther aathor
ity, will go through the legislative mill
in a few days. The senate amended the
house bill, and the house is now expect
ed adopted new amendment to agree to
the by the senate to the house bill. The
only material amendment is that the
senate struck out the amendment of Mr
LaPitte requiring the committee to
wind up its work before the end of the
session. The objection to this was that
the committee is expected to have all
accounts due audited, which will take
considerable time, and the suggestion is
made that witnesses might leave the
State for twenty days and if they
remained out of the State until after
the end of the session of the Assembly
that the committee would be powerlesi
to get hold of the witnesses.
WHAT THE SENATE DID.
The senate had only three real work
ing day* last week, Thursday being
chiefly devoted to memorial exercises in
honoc of the late Altamont Moses, Fri
day being Lee's birthday, and a State
holiday, and Saturday being taken as a
day off.
The dispensary investigating commit
tee bill was finally passed, practically
as it came from the Reuse, there being
some minor amendments, one of im
portance being that the treasurer must
pay no claims unless approved by the
committee. There has been no real op
position to the bill, bat parliamentary
prooeednre and other slight circum
stances have caused two weeks to be
taken up in the passage of the bill.
usage of
With it through it is expected that the
committee will get back to work,
thongh there ii a feeling that it will
not complete its work before the end
of the present session, as much as it is
desired that it might. The intimation
was made in the discussion that it was
possible the committee would have to
go out of the State, or at any rate,
might have to secure witnesses from
other States, which would prolong the
investigation. Other dispensary matters
coming up in the Senate were: The un
favorable report pf Senator Talbert’s
bill to abolish the dispensary, the bill
going on the Calendar; Senator Oole L.
Blease's bill to repeal the Brice law and
the dispensary committee’s bill as a
substitute to the Raysor bill.
As to industrial legislation nothing
final was accomplished. Senator John
son’s strike and lockout bill, which has
been before the Senate for three years,
had what might be called a test vote,
the Senate refusing to strike out the
enacting words by 98 to 18. This, how
ever, by no means indicates that the
bill will flnallv pass the Senate through
it has done so before. There appears to
be renewed and stronger opposition to
it this session, and thongh Senator
Johnson has made unceasing efforts to
have the Senate take a final vote he has
not succeeded. The bill is scheduled
for farther discussion Wednesday.
The Senate committee has not yet re
ported on the proposed ten-hoar labor
law for cotton mills yt on that relative
i”—*' »
to educational and other qualifications
for children working in cotton mills.
Each of these questions have been
threshed over several times before, and
there is little special interest taken in
them. The bills Appear to have been the
products of those who have theories on
these subjects, bat as the hearing on
them showed there was no general de
mand for them, but on the other hand
ranch opposition to tliem, and as each
has'been decided at previous sessions
advnrselg^ the lack of special concern
is, perhaps, explained, i
Well's bill providing for the
adjustment of claims few freight, though
debated at length, was finally with
drawn- This would have taken off the
Calendar of the Senate all railroad leg
islation, hot Senator Johnson has in
troduced another providing that sleep
ing cars, refrigerating lines and street
railways be placed under the jarisdie*
tioaof tiie railroad commission. This
hill has not yet been reported by the
Mauldin’s
bill to make Caiboua’s birthday a spe
cial day for teaching Sooth Owolina
history in the public schools. The bill
killed one day, but the next that
vote was reconsidered, and the bill
having been off acd on the Calendar
several times, again adorns iu Senator
Brooks’ bill to require school trustees
of each district to list all dogs in it for
taxation was passed, bnt his other bill
to devote such tax to school purposes in
the district when collected, was defeat
ed.
Senator Brice introduced a bill to pro
vide for public high schools, and Sena
tor Raysor introduced a memorial in
favor of compulsory education, bat
there to no bill before the Senate on
that subject unless the Rouse bill to
throe compulsory education as to cotton
mills reaches it
Senators listened with e great deal of
interest to the arguments for or against
the bill to revoke the charter of Monl-
trieville. As said in the arguments,
conditions there are peculiar to it, and
this canted the discussions to be clovely
listened to. The Senate committee has
not made a report on the bill. Amongst
other matters affecting Sullivan's Island
is a bill, introduced by Senator Von
Kolnitz, giving the United State’s juris
diction over certain portions of it
Senator's Brooks’ bill to establish s
Confederate Rome was passed. Au
thorities of the Hospital for the Insane
are to provide for it on grounds under
their jorisdiotion, the expenses to be
paid from unclaimed pensions, thongh
this will hardly be enough in itself to
make the horns a great success.
Senator Brice introduced a bill to re-
qnire theHospUal for the Insane to es
tablish departments for epileptics and
inebriates, providing for their especial
accommodation. One or both of three
daseee of unfortunates are heavy drains
on the reeources of the Hospital
Monday to usually more or lesson “off
day” and Tuesday to election day; so
there willbe only four dare of real work
for this week but as foundations have
been pretty well kid, there is no reason
to expect anything bnt the strictest at
tention to genuine legislation daring
these four days and from then on.—

k SUGGESTION.
To the People of Walterboro.
The articles appearing in some of
our leading publications hare created
a good deal of discussion in Walterboro
in regard to advertised medicines,
their reliability and power to cure,
and as a local druggist, I, J. O. Brady,
want to say to the people of Walterboro
that I believe one of the most reliable
medicines that we have known in our
drug experience, extending over a long
period, is Vinol, the cod liver prepara
tion, made without oil
Vinol is not a patent medicine; every
thing in it to printed on the beck label

of cod liver oil taken from fresh cod's
lifers, and without a drop of of the sys

and retard its work, and this to why it

regulate yonr watch. If this is not
convenient, you can do so yourself by
observing the following directions:
If it runs fast, move the regulator to
wards the letter S; if slow, toward
the F. All watches even of the same
make, are not affected alike by the
regulator, but the following is an ap»
proximation:
The distance from one mhrk to the
next on the index will alter the time
about one minute per day. In the
higher grades, having the micrometer
regulator turn the screw to the left to
make them ran slower, and to the
right to make them run faster.
To get the best time from your
watch, have a regular time for wind
ing, and keep ii as near as practicable,
in the same position. It can be hung
up at night; or if worn in a vest pock
et, the garment can be hung up. It
is not a good plan to put yonr watch
under your pillow.
Should your watch stop, do not
shake it violently, and never attempt
to force the wheels forward. Serioni
injury is liable to result from either
of these practices. Take it to a watch
maker without trying to start it It
will be an assistance to him' in ascer*
taining the canse of stoppage to see it
in that condition.
Should you notice the balance
wheel become sluggish in its mortion,
it is a certain indication that some
thing is wrong. It should be seen to
at once. *
@ARE GP A WATCH:
Always carry your watch with the
face next the penon; this lessens the
danger of breaking the crystal. A
guard or chain should always be
worn with a watch, that it may not
slip and fall to the ground. Never
expose the, movement where it to
damp. In winding hold the watcli
steanilv in one hand and wind with
the other.
Always have you watch maker
much dust, oftener. You save noth
ing by allowing a watch to run longei
without overhauling. It to no bettei
economy to run . a watch without
cleaning as long as it will go than it
is to drive a horse without feeding ai
long as he can move.
