THE PEO PLE'SJURNL. VOL. 7.---N0. 4. PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, [EBRUARY 187. ONE DOLLAR A YEA. The Generl Assembly. IN THI HOU13H OF IUP~iUt1EN rA 'c11*VE1S. Separate Coaches for t ho Whites Itil Blacks-'.iso Cigatretto Evil is Dolt With anml it Tax Imposedl. Mr. Gago's bill to prohibit the manu facturo and sale of cigarettes was taken up and passed over to permit Mr. Epps' )IIl onl the same subject to be considered first. Mr. Sinkler said that the United States court of appeals had recently decided exactly similar bills uncon stitutional. Mr. Ashley moved to striko out the enacting words of the bill. Both bills had bcn unfavorably reported. Mr. Epps thought that it was time to put a sto) to the injury that was being done to the yorth of the Stato by the sale of cigarettes. Ho thought their lives were being endangered. Mr. Sinkier said, if any ono could satisfy him that this law was constitu tional he would vote for the bill. The circuit court of aleals had decided adversely to such a bill. Mr. Winkler knew of no more dam nable habit to the youth of this coun try than that of tinoking cigarettes. It was a bill to commend itieif to the members of the general sscmbly. He be!d that the Iowa decision covi red a c ..en't Cnse. lHe was satisfied that the bill would stand. If it injured the tobacco industry, iet the tooace) in dustry go rather than ruin thu boys of the State. Mr. Cushmon argued that the boys would pureciaso smoking tobacco and use the worst kind of palpr to make cigarettes. Why not pass a bili if you are going to do this to include all kinds of smoking tobacco, cigars, etc. Mr. deLoach said that all physicians agreed that cigarettes ready made were most dangerouri. That was the most harmful way in which tobacco Wits uL-ld. Mr. Speer explained the position of the committeG and declared himself in favor of the bill. Mr. Perritt said they had a law on this subject which was not enforced. It was not the province of the general assembly to legislate parentage. Mr. Gage did not belong to that class of men wh[o wanted to take care of his fellowman, but he wanted protection for the people from this evil. One great evil was the tendency to drink liquor ; the other greatest was the smoking of cigarettes. le said it was a cursC. Mr. Patton rose when Mr. Gage asked any one who did not think It a curse to raise his hand, and said he had been chewing tobacco and smok ing pipes, cigars and cigarettes for 20 years, and he submitted that he was perhaps a better physical specimen than his friend. (Laughter.) Mr. Patton, making a pretty quota tion and IIppflication, went on to say that some men were prone to attack the pet vices of others. Mr. Pattoe. resumed his argument on the cigarette bill at the night session, saying the worst thing about tobacco was its cost. Mr. Patton was saying that a mother could do more with a shingle than all the statutes to break bos from smoking cigarettes. Mr. deLoaehl asked Mr. Patton if he lad- experienced the parental obli gation. M r. Patton -Alr. Speaker, it is really a very funny thing, how all these newly mart ied young fellows, when they have been married a few months, think they aro the grand parents of a whole tribe. Mr. Patton saidi they had reduced the prieo of whiskey from 10 cents a drink to 31 cents a drink ; now why would they raise the price of cigar ettes, tihe lesser evil. H~e said ho thought that the house was going to refuse to prohibit the sale of liquor. HeI saidl this cigarette law would not stand the test of the courts. The young were already piro~ected. If they would pauss It as a revenue measure., then it was unjust andi dliscriminating. Mr. del oaeh relied, saying that the smokV g of cigarettes was niot to be compairedl with the smoking of p)1p)s. Hie argued thatt the dIspensary law de creases thle dIrinking of liquor. Mr. deLoach was a reformed cigarette smioker himself. Mr. deLorch's amendment to make the privilege tax 10 cents instead of 25 cents was then killed, after being consideredl againi, there bin~ tg someI doubt as to its having been voted upon at the moi~rning sesloi. Mr. Ashley eflfred to amend~ by adding the following words: "Nor shall any cigar he sold without comply ing with the terms of this act, or pipew be sold without a cane-root )pipe .sem; nor shall any pipe bo0 usedl more than three days without being cleancd ;and further that no man shall chew to bacco more than once." TIhis c.eated loudl havghter. Of cours~e nothing was done with the amend menit, TIhe bill wvas thcn ordered to a third read ing in this shape: Section 1. That no packago of cigarettes sold otr offered for sale shall contain more than five cigarttes, nor shall any package of cigarette paper sold or olfored for sale contaIn more thlan 100) leaves of length and width no0w used. See. 2. That every such package of cigarettes or cigarette parlO shall have thereon a privileged tax stamp as hereinafter pr-ovided for, which shall ho furnished to dealers In cigar ettes or cigarette paper by the county treasurers of the countics of thIs State at a cost of 25 cents each, and the pro coeds of the sale of such stam ps sall bo hleld b~y the county tteasurers sub ject to tile war'rants of the boards of county commissioners like thle funds for ordinary county expenses. Sec. 3. That the privIleged tax stamp for cigarettes or cigarette paper shall be 'n form as follows : " Numberm --, Statb of Southl Carolina :This is to certify that thle prlviloge tax of tis pack~age has been paId to the county treasurer, , Coimptrollor Genera, S. C." The same shall he lithograph ed in the handwriting of the present comnptrollcr general, and Is successor in oflico, as the same are needed, and shall be of convenient size and shape and mucllaged in such con venlent way as the comptroller general shall direct, and shall bo furnished by the comp troller general to the county treasurers upon demand, who shall account for them and the sales of each year to tho coiptroller general. Sec. 4. That all persons violating any Of the provisions of this act shall. upon conviction thereof, pay a line of not less than $50 nor more than $100, or Imprisonment with or without bard labor for not less than 20 nor more than 30 days. THEC .JIM CROW CMt 111L'. When Mr. Caugh man's Ji n Crow car bill, which had been unfavorably re ported, was called up Mr. Meares mnovcd to strike out the enacting words. Mr. Caugiman defended his bill. lHe thought it Was their duty to legislate for the benelit of the Caucasian race in the future. lie was fully aware that this bill ad be en fought over every two years sinco 'IN. He feared that as the years rolled by intermar marriage of the races might come. Ho argued that the railroads w ould not suffer. fle urged the fact that most of the other Southorn States had such laws. Mr. Reynolds said that the unfavor able report of the committee was of course of weight in this r.atter. He I said there had been a growing feeling i that this legislation was unnecessary. i The course of such bills in 20 vear is showed that. The desire for the bill grew out of the race problem. It waw the Idea of the thing mo01 than the reality which mado some11 people want th is act. What was the necessity for < this radical change. Mr. Pollock, of the railroad commit tee, resented the statement of Mr. Caughman that the committee had heard railroad men on the bill, When they hadn't notilied him of the consi- I dcration. li- sidd that a railroad rep Sn tativo i id appear before the com mittee, but thle committee didn't care I to hear anything special on the sub j.2ct, because the subject has been dis cusleld for 20 years and every man, posibly, had hIs mind made up on the bhject. Ile could 6eo no argument in the fact that other Stateshad passed such a law. South Carolina was sup posed to be tho best judge of her own needs and there was no demand for I such a bill. Usually the travel in the State was not so large as to require. separate coaches. Color was not the only consideration any way. His ex perionce was that colored mon in first class coaches always behaved them selves ducently and respectfully. lie saw no necessity for the bill. Mr. Kinard, of Abbeville, said lie be lieved in keeping the negroes separate from the white gentlemen and ladies. The race question is a deep one and t the only way to settle it Is to keep a t well marked line between them under I all circumstances. Mr. Cushman said he had never heard any complaint as to the opera tion of the law where it Is in force. If 1 the law is needed in other States, so much more do we need it, for our col- c ored population is much greater in proportion than it is in other States. e It would ruquirc no hardship on the r railroads, because a simple division of a passenger car into two compartments would be sullicient. C Mr. Reynolds said the trouble about f negroes was infinitely greater on street ( cars. Make this apply to them and a drive thema out of business. t Mr. E'lird said with all duo deference I to the colored man and his rights, he a must raise his voice in behalf of this 8 bill. To vote to kill this bill was to say c that they approved of negroes riding L in ears with their wives and daughters. v Mr. Rogers said the tendency of this f age was to decide all such (uiestions in the light of their utility. This was a i lvqestioni wh ih roo fart above utility e andI all quelstionls of expen'lse.t M r. Sturkile had always favored thlet Jim Crow car hill.'i Mr'. 1Pollock wvent for Mr. K inard in quite a warm manner in regai'd to his< assertIon that thte pra'ctice of the r'acest travelIng in the same coaches was an icentive to amaltlgamnation. Mr. Rogers inarked that if it weroe p)ossible lhe would like to see the ne- I groes biOttedl out of the State. Mr. Kinard spoke of the water closet pr-oblemi, ui-ging that matter, lie said < that none of the arguments against the bill wvere sound. Mr. W. S. Smith said they neededI the bill badly in) tho~ lower' potrtion of tho State. Hie argued fotr sotme time. T1he priev ious (I uestion w~as thent call-i ed on the whole matteor. T1he I louse refused to strike out, the enacting wordos by a vote of 80 to 19, as follows: Ay.as-Anlderson, Boedon, Childs, Col cock, D)av is, C. M.; D~avis, W.

Mr. Smith opposed any amendment from anybody, or' any of tihe memibet's of the committee. Thelly wanted tihe bill passed as it was. A fter' a little spiat between Messr-s. Smith and Pol loek, the former moved to table thei amendment., but w ithd row the motioni to let Mr. P ollock advocate his amend-1 mnnt. Mrt. . eldeli said that unless this amendment, went, in, the bill would have to beo extoneeluy amnended. He~ thouight It shlould to left to the rail r'oadl comm ission. Mr. P'ollock's amendmient was then tabled. Mr. Mowa wame,,d, to ameds, a to make it effective on November 1, 1897. A s a su bsti tu te for th is, M r.
