Columbia, Jan., 29, 1906. fSentinel-Journal: The Solons have been very busy since my last letter. Lots of bills havo come up, been cussed and di. cussed, abused and killed. while a goo.d many have run the gauntlet and will become laws as soon as the governor affixes hiis signature thereto. There has bean but one topic of conversation in the lobbies here lately and that is the dispensary. The institutioa is doomed but the fight will be close and desper ate. Local option is ahead but thbre are too phases of local op, tion. Some want to hold new elections in the 16 counties that voted out the dispensary. Others do not. There hinges the fight at present. The House last week cleared the colendar of a good ma, ny bills. One of ,abs which re ceived a favorable action and was sent to the senate was Mr. Laney's to require Christmas holidays at Winthrop. It is understood that Senator Tillman who is a trustee has come into tbis fight, and has written personal letters to mem bers of the senate, begging them to kill the bill. The letters state that the parents were represented in the action of the board in deny. ing the girls their holiday. Another educational matter of great interest is the bill to provide for a model school at Winthrop. This bill has received a favorable report from the ways and means comm ittee and will probably pass without serious opposition. It provides for an appropriation of $25,000 which will be supplement. ed by other fund4. The bill to appropriate $2,000 e for scholarships in the Confeder ate Home College of Charleston has passed the house. to Mr. Dabbs wants an agricultur- B al college for the people of the 0 ea1stern part of the state. T MAj. Bradham, a gallant Con 'ed. F' erate soldier who has been honor, ti ed by the people of Clarendon in Ii every conceivable way in apprecia- ~ tion of his sf-rvices as soldier and Ci man, has introduce]1 a bill which d would give the pensioners $244,- 4~ 000 annually, where they are no0w fi getting but $200,000. It would ti also reduce the amount paid class b A penisionnrs and in crease the low- ai er classes proportionately. There will be a bill to provide for the ofile of state pension comn- el missioner. h Corporation and anti corporation C legislation is being lost sight of in is the dispensary maelstrom. But a there are several bill to which the g corporations oppose objections. a The corporations do not,.agree g, among themselves, for Mr. Jami.as U.
