Cohuambila Lette2. Editor Journal: I r-ee from your last issue that you did not ge my t last communication last week. I t wrote and mailed it as usual on a Saturday. t Well, Mr. Editor, the legislative inill is still grinding and apparent ly will continue to grind until about tho 17th of this month. At whichi time I think we will adjourn as there is there is some doubt ,whethor the members can get pay for over forty days. We ought to adjourn sooner, but thero is no use of trying to, because tho majority is in favor of staying here the full forty days. A very important joint resolution has passed the House, instructing 'ho Attorney General to investi 4'1 trusts that have been I guano, whether such con panies bavo any right iness inl this State accord ar laws. t dfauldin, of Greenvillo, in lIotiodu.( id a bill to reduce the salary of (lie Clerk of the House and (lIe Ckrk of the Senato from $800 each tA to *5C0. A fler somo discussion it t was inidefiliteily postpoled by a voto of 54 to 48. 80 you ste thit. 01 iothing will be done that will be of re.al benefit to our people. .Just think about giving a man $800 for a about tlir.e months work. Five c hlundred dollars is big pay for themIl. d A bill ias passed1 the House re- ( (iuiiring bo:ards of oducation to di vide their countty into groups, two groups to t lie county'. 'Th1e town ships having inColporlated towns or lu Igh schools, to be placod in one groutp and tlie othr group to be a conllpostd of thoso townshiips having " no hi, schools or Imcorporated towns.

We o re aised hut if we (1o, the 01ne agreed upon ,y us, will pass without trouble. My bill in reference to tl:e Eas wy school district, hasi passed1 the Louse and is in) tho Sonate and1 *il pass anid become a law. The law ill regard to the Cotton .eighers at Pickens and Easley ill be0 repealed so that Pickens aid Easloy will be phaced on a isis with other towns where they weo cotton mills. Senator Conner's bill i nstrucet g tho Superintendent of the ponli intiary to erect a plant to maunu eture phosphoric acid, wats lost >Onl the ground that it would cost o much. This is a bill tending the right direction. Something iould( be dono) along this line. It >uld dowvn the guano trusts thant bleeding our peolo and it would iep the convicts off of the private Coluabln Lettese. ( Crowded out last week.) Editor Journal: Very little has anspired since my last, Worthy of )te, however, there are some ~ings being done that might be of terest to your many readers. The tax on fortilizers has been duced by the House from twen --five cents to fifteen cents per n. It now goes to the Senate id what fate awuaits it there, is Lrd to tell. There has passed the House, a *11 amending Section 84, of the hool law, which p~rovides that y votor voting in an election to vy a special tax for school pur ses. Shall pay taxes on one hun od dollars worth of property, so at aniy voter paLyi.)g tax on any al and poerdonal property shall be lowed to vote. So you see that if * is bill becomes a law that a quail 3d voter paying tax on any ind prop~erty will be allowed to vote Ssuch election. My bill relating to the election scohool trustoes in the town of asley, and to define their duties i as nassd the House~ aind ston to i tho ehAtSa It Will beooni a 1t hsWO1, a bill has buei idt tucd to mak the number of bil uits to ten, and as usual, afte lbout three hours distiUssion, we rilhd. It wr.s plainly demonstra ed in he disousoion that it Wa Lot necezoary to add two more oi1 uita to the nuanber we now hav< xobpt t be in a few of the largo ountie, and they have a suni ienoy in the law which allow hem to have county or spocif Drme of court. The cost of th wo circuit3 would have beo bout $1,000 to the tax payers < he Mtate and no on would hai ,een banefitted, excopt those wi vould have bosn fortunato enoug o get the offices it would ha reated. There has been a bill introduce o amend the law of 189, rolitmn o the time of working roads an iighways in the State. The sai aw provides that the roads shall b1 vorkod between Ihe first day [anuary and the first day of De .ember of oneh year. The bill to miend has booui indefini .Y 'nt )oned. So overseers of roa(8 wil lo well to neto that they cannl orco anyono to work the road4 il lie month of J)ecember. T %1ent or the passago of the bill, believ. ig tlat tihe Comity oflicials having bo roads in chargo, ought to hiav ower to work them at any timo ol io year they think best. A bill passel to its third .cla(ing allow tho Woman's Monauiiental ssociation to erect a monumtoll othe Womien of the Confederacy 1 the State houso grounds. The fiee pass bill caimfY ill) tod ay i a different, (ress to wvhat it usu. Ily coies, and was after sonio dis .ision killed. It seems to be conceded by all n~it the (;1Ispellsary law will not 1< isturbed (diring this session, un Rs it be to change the manago eot of it. The action of th eiato poinits to tho abolition o ic present Board of Control, but pon0 wh10om1 they will put tIe man 3eiont of it, is hard to tell. AE Sone Calm 11od two offices uner(let le constitutiol, it cannot be put the hands of the State oflicers. or do I believe it wonld be wise do so. If the ]law was changed as to givo tihe power to appoint o board to the governor, it would too much of a one-man power, d for this and other reasons, it glit not to bo dono. It wouild b( o childrens work for the legis. tire to abolish tho present hoard d elect another one itself. Theri to be one member elected during is session, according to the lam w in force, and I think aftei ting in the situatio)n that i >uld be best to elect the bost mai at can be lound, appoint a com ittee to investigate it first to fmI 1 and let the preaent mianage mit stand. There has been, during the term the G eneral Asseunmbly, about ie hundred bills in trod uced, an early half of them at this sessiom here are now on thle Calenidair ie llouso 116 bills and still the( >mbo, So you sQO that if wu elei 10 Calondar this will be a lon ,ssion. We have too much legislatioi f this body does its duty it ni nact tho apjpropriationi and si ily bills, then adjourn and Such actionl would b)e worth mo o tile peole than to stay hiere an iisos of all the bills that are< lhe Calendlar.
