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

The Senate refused to strike out the a.
enacting words. s<'
Senator Appelt, olferedl an amend.
mecnt, that a man might be0 allowed to t4
carry a conicealedh weaponi upon paying
an annual fee of 50, a licenise to be is- ti
suedl by the clericof the coniut. 0
Senator hlouigh opposed this license 8)
feature. 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

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

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

Senator Graydon opposed the amend

actically kill the bill.
Senator Ragsdale said there might

'oposed amendment would leave open

gaind was ordered engrossed and sent=

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

Mir. Jnmo. I'. Thomas, J.1 ., declaredI

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

The motion to strike out the enact.

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

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

The hill was killed in this way.

Mr. Strom's bill to ic-ease the sen

Graydon's argument as it) the hacrd

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.
