CAN'T AGREE
The House Wain's to Adjourn
and the Sanate Don't
AND THERE YOU ARE!
Supply and Appropriation Hills llavc
Not lWn Considered and Senator
Otts Demand* Consideration of
tlio Prohibition ltills?House Ho
fuses to Take Kerens.
Columbia, S. C., February 13.?
There is a remarkable situation
in the Legislature. The members of
the House are longing to go home.
They have worked hard and faithfully,
and did everything possible
so that they might adjourn tomorrow.
If the Assembly does not ad- i
journ tomorrow the fault is not on J
the House sidle*
The appropriation bill was over
on t'ne Senate side in ample time.
The supply bill could have gotten |
through the Senate except for ob-I
jection made there. From 1S8G to
1895 the sessions were for 30 days |
with the exception of one year. For
four years after 1 895 the sessions
were prolonged on account of the
new Constitution.
From 1 899 until this year the regular
sessions have never been extended
beyond forty (lays, and now
tbo Senate insists upon an extra
ordinary session. Members are i>ut
out that the Senate did not today
consider the supply, nor appropriation
bill.
Members of the IIouso insisted
that it was buncombe, pure buncombe
to talk about coming back
next session, and the House hurrahed
that it had practically finished
its work, and had fully cleaned
its decks to go home tomuiorrow
night.
The suggestion has been made
that the Senate is binding, and expects
to adjourn by Sunday morning,
but when the news cumc ovor
that the Senate had agreed to adjourn
tomorrow noon until Tuesday
night, tho House did not know how
to get tho Senate to do anything
except wait for tlo Senate, as the
House cannot adjourn without the
Senate. There were various and
sundry efforts made to send the Senate
ollicials notice that the House
was ready to adjourn tomorrow.
A HOW llloHrm (.? n,IU
_ v... .u fiujuiu ii luinorrow
was tried, but could not be considered,
ten members objecting.
Then Mr. Itucker tried to get
through a motion that the clerk be
instructed to con very a verbal message
to the Senate that the House
was ready to adjourn. Hut this was
ruled to be ouC of order.
The- House could not get its official
announcement to the SI mate
that it was longing to adjourn, but
it refused on a yea and nay* vote to
agree on Mr. Eraser's motion that
the House, when it adjourns tomorrow,
meet again Wednesday. He
did this, he argued, simply because
be could not help himself, on account
of the situation in the Senate.
The House wants to adjourn to- ]
liuinMU- ..."l ?
>um , ciiivi vivji's so very badly. It
refused to agree to a recess resolution.
It could not tatoe up the resolution
to adjourn tomorrow because
of its rules, and there you are. The
Mouse was straining for some joyfiii
adjournment news from the Senate,
but it came not.
In the Senate.
The flmate declined tonight to
take a recess until Tuesday evening
at 8 o'clock, when it recedes from
business tomorrow at 12:30 o'clock.
This means that the time-honored
custom of forty days and forty
nights' session has been broken.
The Senate will meet tomorrow for
a brief session and will return next
week for business, with no definite
adjournment sine did now in sight.
Probably the Senate will not continue
in session longer than Saturday,
February 27.
The situation is about as follows:
The supply and appropriation hills
have not been yet considered in the
Senafij. An adjournment tomorrow
would have been necessarily impossible,
as in order for this to have
been within the range of possibility,
the Simply bills would hnvn
? f v W 11 (I V C
been consldeivd today. This was not
done.
Mombers having important bills
wished to get them up, and the result
was that tlio appropriation and
supply bills wero not taken up out
of their regular order for second
ra&ding. They had not been on the
desk tho necessary twenty-four
liours, and umV?r the rules, ibis
point was raised. Tho railroad rate
bill had been made a special order
today, and this had the right of way.
The lien law discussion bad taloen
up three days, all of which tended
to not allow the supply and appropriation
bills to be sonsidered.

ISKKIL riA MIil\(i HINTS.
to Prevent Your Pipes Hurstlug
in Cold Weather.
For the benefit of those whose
water pipes froze during the last
cold "spell' a plumber of kindly
disposition?and most of them are,
despite the hard things said about
them?makes the following suggestions:
"Turn off the water at the cut
off, and if the cut off is exposed cover
it with straw or nanor. but bi?f?>ro
doing this open all tho faucets so
that the water will siphon out of the
pipes. The water pipes will then be
safe.
"The drain pipes must, however,
he conseidered. and It is not possible
or desirable to drain the traps because
they prevent sewer gas. To
prevent them from freezing make a
strong solution of salt and water?
do not be afraid to make too much?
and poor it into the basins and tub
until the plain water has been driven
out. The salt mixtures will be
slow to freeze."
Observance of these rules will
save plumber's bills and the tempers
of the water consumers, to say nothing
of the trouble to housekeepers
it will prevent by keeping the water
pipes from blowing up. This will
be better than blessing out the oblisr
ing anil liar worked plumbers.

under the laws of this State, shall

TKDDY AM) HILLY.
('rum Matter Said to Have Caused
Them to* Disagree.
Washington, Feb. ID.?The Washington
correspondent of The News
and Cornier says it has just leaked
out that when President-elect Tal't
was in Washington last Tuesday and
Wednesday he showed a draft of
his inaugural address to President
Roosevelt, and that when the latter
noticed that Mr. Taft would not
place negroes in oflice, where such
appointments would be obje?ed
to, he demurred.
The position that Mr. Taft will
assume on this matter is not in
keeping with the views of President
Roosevelt on the same subject, and
it is said that the conference went
into tl*o matter vew
. - . ; IIVV|<1.?4 .'Wl
accurate statement of what really
took place cannot, of course, be secured,
but it is believed that the
President and his successor differ
materially on this question.
Crum's case, it is understood, was
taken up and Mr. Taft is said to
have intimated very forcibly that
unless other negroes seeking otlico
under his Administration could show
more fitness for receiving sucn appointments
than Crurn that they
would not be considered. Unless
something unforeseen occurs to
change his attitude on the subject,
Mr. Taft will state positively In his
inaugural address just what he believes
to be a real fitness for olllco
holding under his Administration,
whether the applicants be white or
colored. He will tell the people just
how he stands on the question. *

Tho provision authorizes the
postmaster general to establish the
system for experimental purposes in

regulations, including the fixing of
