HE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL VOL l.--NO. 4. PICKENS S. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21 ' OA Put~,9 -BAAmf tNE D LLAR YEA THU GENERAL ASSEMBIY. The following sulmnary of legisla tive proceedings during the past week gives some of the most important dis e(isslOis upon pending measures: A UNIQUE ILI, ACIAINST PSl'To:.S. Mr. Cooper's bill to regulate the car rying, manufacturiig and sale of flire arlus usually used for tihe inllietion of personal injury, and &o make I viola. tion of the same a lisdemeainor, was then taken up. The bill is very drastic in its provisions, and the committee report on it wits unfavorable. *,enator Graydon offered an amend ient making the bill apply only to , pistols, and advocated the bill with his C amendment at some length. Senator Aldrich thought it the best bill that has been introduced at this s88101. Public opinion has crystalize(d on two points, lie said, that whiskey 1 and pistols are responsible for most of the crime. The penalty for carrying t colcaled weapons is entirely too low. 1 lie knew of no evil in the State more a to be deplored than the almost univer- f sal custon of carrying conicealed wea- a pols. It is a most demoralizing b11(d c degrading thing. The penalty cannot a be made too severe. The haibit of car- c rying a concealed weapon will make a 0 coward of any man. All the colmag'e a lie ever had will be sunk in the barrel f' of his pistol, and if 11e ever gets into a 8 row without his pistol lie will run as b sure as lie lives. A pistol is a dis- a gracelul thing, and no man ought t.o be allowed to carry one whether con- 81 eealed or not. If a man needs a fire j arm at all he needs a gun and not a s' pistol. 11 Senatot IIenderson said le was as 31 much opposed to carrying concealed W Weapotas as anybody, but he thoiught this proposed law would be unconsti- " tutional, as it forbids the right given E by the constitution of carryimg arms, andI' this bill will prohibit us from car- i rying pistols, concealed or not. The t bill, lie tt.ought, would be unconstitu- a tional, and for that reason lie could not LI vote for it. 1 Mr. Ilderton suggested an amend. ment that a man could not carry wea pons "1 without just cause or excue.' to lie thought the wisost thing to do c< would be to stop the importailon and sale of pistols. le thought the hill if under discussion should pass. sI Senator Alower analyzed the bill. In 01 tle first place it absolutely forbids a t citizen carrying a pi8tol, whether con. cl cealed or not, and a provision of that 1 kind is entirely unconstitutional. It also provides that there shall not be " .old in this State a fire armx, of less p than a certain size and weight. lie beriously doubted if the passage of laws b on this subject will accomplish much " good. We will have to have some- h thing besides laws. pi Senator lerndon said he did not be- r lieve the law would (10 aly good, that kW it would be violated just as the pres- vi ent law against concealed weapons is !s violated. Is Senator Maylield offered an ameni ment that. a person desiring to carry a i concealed weapon might obtain an an nual license from the clerk of court at an annual cost of $50, and spoke i ll favor of his amendment. If a nman thinks he ought to go armed he ought n to be allowed to dt so, ad lie people ought to know it. So let him take out t( a license, and let evezybody know that " ie has taken out such a license. Senator HIenderson saidl this amend- "~ ment would still not mauke the law a] constitutIonal. The taking out of a license would not protect anybody. I Ife moved to atrike out the enactinag words of the bill. n Senator Graydon contended that this L( bilL would be constitutional, as the Ian. guage of the constitution as to the right of the people to bear ams re- ui ferred only to the militia. n Senator Stanland thought this a most. g important measure, and that some law of this kind should be passedli e sp)oke b of the conditions in the lower counties, et anid said protectionl of some kind was ei sorely needed. it The vote to strike out the enacting G words resulted1 as follows :s Ayes-Barnwell, flow~en, llrantley, $ Brown, D ennis, (lenn, Gruber, llii- tU desn, Hlydrick, Mooire, Mower, P Sharpe.

If we are going to proib it tl the carrying of concealed weapons5 let ai us prohibit outright. If a man wants to carry a weapon for dhefense let him C carry it openi and~ aboveboard. Senator Ilderton also op~posedl it and (1 thought it would dliscriminate against the poor main, who might, he unable to t pay the lie mae, whiattever it, might be0. C H~e thought his amendmeint as to "just h cause or excuse "' would cover the Il groiund. Senaitor Mayliel d withdrew his 6 amneilnt. Senator (iaydlon otfer'ed an amend- t mient to simply make it unlawful for c a man to carry a fIre arm less thiaii 20d inches in length or less than three poundls in wvtight. Tihiis, lie saidl, will e give a ma'i tile right to bear any armas except pistols. Senator Hirowvn moved to indlefinit ely 1 postp~oua the winolo matter. On this' t lie vote was 15 t o 12, amid I the Senate refused to postponie thme'( hill,. -~,. The question of aiiopting Senator Giraydon's aieudment thein caeiC III) and wits adopted by a vote of 16 to 10. A vote was then taken on Senator Udorton's " just CaUse or cxcus' umendment and it was voted down. Senator Gruber moved to inidelinite. y postPone the bill, but, the chair 'ule(l the imot ion out of order. Senator orruber then moved to recommit the )ill. This was voted down by a vote if 19 to 14, and the Senate refused to 'ecoimit. The minority amendmlenit'tha. the ies collected under the operations of his bill shall go to file school fund in ho county in which the violation oc urred, was thenl adopted. The bill then paISSed its second read (1111A) LABOni 11.1,. The child labor bill was then taken p for its third readirg Senator Sul van offered an amnidment to place he age limit at 10 years instead of 2 yeatrs, and to provide for coul)1 Lry attendance upon the public schools :'r at, least four months each year of 11 children not engaged at work. Par. ntL or guardians failing or refusing to 2nd such children to school as provid I are pulishable as for i misdenean r. Children from 7 to 12 3 ears old re to be sent to school for at, least mur months each year. I Ic said the enate stated its object in passinig the ill agamst child labor was to insure u education for the children, and he an ted it carried to its logical conclu on, and offered the bill in good faith. [e repudiated the idea that a compul. wy education law would affect, the egro question, as the negroes arc mding their children to school any ay. Senator Marshall said he hoped there 'ould be no debate on the question. very Senator has had his say. Ile ought the practical effect of Senator allai's amiendmenmts would be to kill ie bill and he moved to lay the iendmilents on the table. On this Io vote stood 21 to 14 and the amend ents were rejected. Senator Mayfield offered an amien(l lent to make the school term in fac >ry towns of e(ual lengith with rural >minunities, which was adopted. Senator Hlydrick offered an amend ent. that if any parent or guardian muld make affidavit, that the earlin!s the labor of a child were necessary the support of the parent of' the ihlt itself such child might be em oyed.n Senator Graydon opposed the amend ent, as it would be abused and actically kill the bill. Senator Ragsdale said there might 3 aii occasional case in wh ich a father ight need tie earns of his child it it would be very rare, and as the 'oposed amendment would leave open om fr abuses and might practically 11 the bill, lie thought, it shoul be )ted (lowl. We arel to consider what best for the children and not what best for the parents. On the questiou of' adopting the nenidimnent the vote stood ,17 to 17. here was a tie and the ILieu tenant overnor voted no, thui rejecting the neii~h net . Senator Sharpe offered an amend cut, which was adopted allowing iy phan child, iupon llini anatidai, secure w rk in a factory, if it was 2Cessary in order to earn a living. Senator Grubeir olered an amnd. erat, to make the provisions of the law >ly to all manuifactutring est ablishi ents as well as cotton factories, and e amendment was adopte. The bili then passed its secoral readl gaind was ordered engrossed and sent= the Ihouse. Seiiator Hendorsoni's bill to p)rov'ide .iiformity and eqluality in the assess emit of cotton factoi ies passed with 2neral amendments. Mr. Croft, of Aiken, championed the I1. Taxation to be fair should be Iial. T~hereC should be a st andlard of inalization. There is a great inequal. y ini assessments in this State. The raniteville company has a caplital ock of $600,000 and is assessedl at: 360O,000. The Columbia mill is capi lizecd at nearly $1 ,t00,000 and yet it lys taxes on bum. $200,000. Th'le Pied Lont mills, whose stock is rated at 170, caitalized ait $800,000 and yet is isessed at only $:340,000. Th'le Greeni oodl mill, capitalized at $180,000, is isessed at $8r,000. ie cited other stances of dliscrepancles. Ie dloes at advocate the bill to make a higher ;sessment, but a more equitable its issment. Mr. Sinkler---Why is this bill appliedl cottoii mills alone ? Mr. Croft---I a.n not thle author of ic bill, but it could be apph~ledl to ther property'. Textile mills nire >ecilled because t heir valutes ruin' inito ie mill ions, andt thousatidIs of d ollaris re lost to the State. Mr. Coone r, of the ways andl means ommittee, saidl that the bill was ire ortedl unfavorably, because it singles ut, one enterprise or industriy. Mr. Kinard said that the people of bie s'veral counties are iinterestedl noug~h to get mills returnied for the ighest values. Futrthiermore, t he peo Ie of' thle county would know the alue of the property better' than the tate hoard. Mir. Jnmo. I'. Thomas, J.1 ., declaredI hat. the most Ilagrant, discrepaincies do, xist and the county boards are evi entliy not, awake to their dunties. Is L right for the miills in Aikeni to he ,sessed at 100 cents on the dollar amt hose in Greenwood1 at 50 cents on the lollar' ? lie showed that ini Spartan. mnrg Co~unty there was inequality be. weon mill and mill. Mir. Prinice opposed the bull. Mr'. :roit's figures ate taken from the r'e trns threne yearsago. M[r. Croft replied that assessinent of real estate aire made every fou 3ears. Mr. 1'rime continued that, the mill in his section are assessed on the h nar. kel value of tile stock and are paying ats much taxes in proportion as iny other mills in the State. The lied. mont mill is now aisessed in Anderson County alone as much a1-s the amountt quoted by Mr. Croft for 1898. Mill should not be treated as railboads, foi railroals aire not contincil to one county. Ar. (Gunter stated that the last, re port of the com1 ptioller geinral Shows no 1s8sessmchet of mills. The motion to strike out the enact. ing words was lost. Mr. Riclhards otered tin amendment to extend the provisions of the lill to canals. Mr. lRichards said that this wits called foi by the fact that the Columbia, cail is returned for assess ilent It tbut $'10,000. The aitimendient wits adopted, as was that of Air. .1110. !". Thois, .r., to extend tile provisionse to cotton seed oil and fertilizer companies. T'Ii 3'LAURIN HEiSOLUTION. Mr. John McMaster's resolution to condemn the act.m of lion. John I, McLaturin in the United States Senate wits then reached. Mr. McGowan moved to lay tle resolution on the table. This motion shut off atll debate and the vote was taken. The House by a vote of 58 to 41 agreed to table tile resolution. Thete were at least a dozen members in attendance yesterdiy who were not in their seats when the vote was taken. Six out of one delegation were at the tiie out o the hatll.

The lill to apportion the .proftis dle 'ived from the sale of' liquors was tken tip. The bill seeks to provide a lew basis of apportionllent bqtweeni lie State and the cities and counties. The reafl object of tie bill, Senattor Ilrice said was to take from the coun ies of Marlboro, Greenwood andi York, vhlicll have no dispensaries, their share of the dispensary selool fund, >r force t hem to establish <hpnaries, mdt 1he thbought this too small ai ting or the Seniate to dlo. lIe mioved1 to nldefinitely postpone the bill. Senator G-raydon also wvantedl the >ill postlponied. .It is too smlli a malit er for tile Senlate to waste time over-. Senator I 3'yield clatime~d thlal the )hje(-t of' thle bill had1( been nuisrepre (Oente.d, anid thalt, it simply meant to ive tile Statl I per' cent. pri'ti in priesenti.

Senator Iillendesoni favored tile bill because it, gaive cach county the r'ight to say how its share of the priolits shall be app1liedl. Senator Giuber01 said lie thlought it wotuld be0 imlpossible to runi the dlispcni sar'y on the basis prOooed by the bill. Senator Sheppard alen' oppos0ed it. Thlere ought to be some1 stabiility ats to thie dispensary profits. Ther~ie is nlo Senlato 01' ower opp1osed it, on the iamc gr'oundl. The presenlt law has b~een ill operation only sincee June, and we have not 1had( at chaniec to gi ve it a fr triial. Senator lirie mloved to ind~eliniitely p)ostpone thle bill and this was donec by it vot e of 20 to 12.. The hill was killed in this way. AS TO CON vT(Yr8. Mr. Strom's bill to ic-ease the sen lenlce of conviets oil couinty chaingangs to tell yeatrs was takeni ny for its see ond( realdinlg and ther'e was a contest over' it. Senator Gr taydoni mlovedl to strike ot the enaFctinig word'~s. The latw, he~ said(, aili'eadly allows live-year conlvicts to wom'k oil counlty chiainganigs, and 110 tlhouight this a long enoungh term'il.

Senlator- lilakeney dhid notd walt theii enact1 ig worilds stikenm ((mt, hi waVi Willing to have the bill continued till next session. The bill is intended as a g11ood roads measure and lie didt not 0 wfint, the bill killed. Senator Ilydrick favored the ineas. ure. A chaingang with less thian 15 con victi cannot be maintai ned advan tageously, and more convicts are need ed on the roads. lie ti ought Senator Graydon's argument as it) the hacrd ships Oi county chaingIangs Was ex aggerated. lie thought the bill should be passed. Scitator Gaines said the people of GreenIwood wanted the bill passed. The Greenwood chainglang iias not had a convict to die since it was established, aild lie read a letter from the supervi sor showing the manner of treatment. Senator Alayfield thought the bill would practically mean the abolition of the penitentiary aid the State farms. Senator Caughiman favored the hill, but would be willing to have it go over until the next session. With the great iiterest being taking in good roads the bill ought not to lie killed 110w. On a motion to strike ott tle enact ing words the vote stood: Ayes 17; nays -20; and the senate iefusced to strike out the enacting word . Senator Gruber theni imioved to coil tintuce the bill until the next session which was clone by a vote of 21 to I;, and the bill goes over. 'Till; SENATE ON P'ENSIONs. The Ilotse bll to inciease the ainunt of the appropriation for (C(oi federate pensions to 8200,000 was reached and taken l) I' its secoid reading. Senator Alower moved to strike out the enacting words of the bill, and., as chairman of' the finance committee, made a statement, of the Stat, 's finaices. The approprilition bill noV carries about $1,000,,tI---an CXCCS of some :50,000 or :;00.000 over last year. If this icrease in pensions is allowed it will simply require anl increase in the tax levy at least one-half mill, an1dIc hI dial not, think it would be wise to do this at this time. Again, lie douhted if the needy pensioners would he ma teriailly benieliteil, as our experience would show that the moro money we have tle more pensionrs tlieie would he, aniid the really needy ones wontId not, be materially beieilited. Seinator Ilenderson hoped the appro priation would not he killed, but th it lie extra sum of $50,00i lie given, as Capt. Brooks inteled it when he ini troduced it in the llouse. The coip troller geieral says this will not in crease the tax levy this year, but whether i did o he w ol vote for it If the State is to help tie old soldiers it sho uld do so in proper shape. benlator Sharpe said lie wanted to see if tihe Senate, inl view oh having voted extra l agatl appropriations for the Ex positioin and the colleges, would not vote to help the nteedy soldier. lie fivored Senator ll enldersoun s proposi tion to give .50,000 extra istiad of $ 10(,000, because he telt this ought to he dine. lie always had opposed ex travant appropriations, but he thouaght this ought to be given. Senator Appelt also spoke brictly in favor' of the 45J0 ,U0j0 approp-1ri1at ion. Senator Mcl Dermott read some fig ures that lie had obtained fromI the Comptroller general's departimc ut, showing that the State's finances were in shape to allow the :-Z50,000 apiro. priat ion withiout increasing the levy. Th e Statte- will, It, is esti mh edc, starti the year of 19102 will some 8c;2l,ct00 cash 0on haind. Senator Decan also wanitecd he $5ci, - 000) granitedl. Let's give these Iheroes scomething durinig their Iivyes, instead of singing reiquiemis iover them whieti they are dead. Senator Giraycdon was in favor ot thle $100,000, but if he couldn't gel that lie wvouldl compromiise 0:1 the $50,000t. le had no0 recordl as cn conomist, bunt lie did unot. want to b~egini on the ol so] dicr's. ic thotiglit the p)resenit seniti. meiit, of the State was in favor of the iiicrease of $100,000. Senator Blakeney said that some thotught the Ihouse p)assed the hul with the cexpectat ion t hat thle Senate woiulcd kill it, and that, it was a play ait pol. ities on the part of the Ilouse. lIe was chiaritale enough to lbelieve thlat. it paissedl as a result of a hurst of sent i ment.
