The House expressed itself Agah this year on the question 0 compulsory education. A local optio bill, introduced Representatives Mc Cravey nad Harper and a companio bill of Senator Lawson's linked wit I it, passed the House by a vote of 61 to 32. The bill was silghtly amendei from its original shape, and in a gen ry eral way provides that any school dis trict or county may vote Tor compul sory attendance of children betweei the ages of 8 and 12 years upon thi schools of the county. The' bill als< provides that a written petition o one-third of the qualified electors shal IA be filed before the election is ordered The house also expressed itself o the two-cent rate bill by pasing it b: rk a safe majority. The House, however had already pased the two-cent rat bill last year and that bill is nov to pending in the Senate. On the Ser ate side te bill has remained on th< calendar during the present session. The bill of Mr. James of Lee, pro hibiting women from working mor rt than eight hours a day in manufactur rd ing establishments and children fron th working more than 28 hours a weel es nsnaclt establishments, was killed b3 ed the House recently. The measuro placed a fine of n-i ore thanlfri to on corporations allowing women o or children to violate its prpvisions. Mr he James made a strong plea for th he "conservation of women and children. is' The hottest fight of the present ses ad sion was precipitated in the house or the pas'sage of the Fortner bill prohib iting white -people from teaching ir le negro schools or negroes from teach le ing in white schools under penalty 01 Ja a fine not exceeding $500 or impris onment for not more than 12 months The bill was passed to third reading cn after a battle royal, the opposition lec ce by the Charleston delegation. The ie measure was amended, without a dis a senting vote, to make the same pen er alty applicable to "the Intimacy of the or races in houses of ill repute." Anothei amendment was passed prohibiting white nurses from working in negrc o hospitals. A third amendment made the bill inapplicable to the teaching ol ty the Bible to negroes by white people By a vote of 59 to 38, the house re al fused to strike out the enacting words to of the Fortner bill. It is doubtful at whether there was any such over whelming sentiment in favor of the passage of the bill in the house as this i vote would indicate. The measure had id been recommended by the governoi ry In his message, but beyond questior Dr more than 38 members of the house rd did not believe the measure expedient or necessary, and voted for it because Ld they leared the accusation in the fu -d ture that they were "nigger lovers. The administration and anti-adminis tration lines were not drawn in the to vote to strike out the enacting words Ir The fight over the bill lasted for ovei ' two hours. The judiciary committee of the house submitted a majority unfavor )able and a minority favorable report oon the Welch bill allowing the Colum 0bla Railway, Gas and Electric Coin npany, which owns the Columbia canal, eto build a railroad, terminals and wharfage and maintain a steamboat line to tidewater, in lieu of carrying Lout its contract to complete the canal efrom the foot of Gervais street to the mouth of Rocky branch. - The report of the committee came Safter a public hearing on the bill Swhen, for parties unknown, H. K. LOsborne, an attorney of Spartanburg, Ssubmitted to the general assembly, Sthrough' the judiciary committee, a n~ proposition to complete the canal within 15 months, pay the state $100, 000 in cash for it and pay nine-thirti eths of the bonds outstanding on the canal. The house took up aA pecial or der the Zeigler bill~ .ng for rais P ing revenue to p s game and Ld fish, by issuing 'to those who IY hunt wild gamjr a gun and it 3 passed it to inlire reading. The 11 c-nse for residen under the bill wilt -d be $1.10 annuafly and for non-resi -' dents $5.26 anually. The issuing of the licenses and the disbursing of the af funds are placed in the hands of the 'f chief game warden. The bill was pass - ed to third reading. k, After another fruitless attem15t on :h the part of the Charleston delegation it to have their county exempt from the terms of the Fortner bil.l, the meas t ure passed third reading in the house 2, and was sent to the senate, by a votE a of 62 to 40. The bill was passed to o. third reading by a vote of 59 to 38, after the warmt. fight of the present session in the fitise. Buld Street Cars in Columbia. d Building street cars in Columbia khas proved profitable, according to Alfred Wallace, general manager of a 'the Columbia Railway, Gas and Elec gtric company. Mr. Wallace estimates ethat the company saves from $800 to ~$1,000 on each car. Three cars have gbeen constructed in the shops of the 1 company during the past several years eand two are planned for this year and each year thereafter. . The account of the street car In .~ dustry in Columbia is given in a re cent U. S. bulletin. House to Visit Charleston. For nearly half an hour before it - receded recently, the house in a hila rious mood debated whether or not it should accept an invitation to visit Charleston before the session ends. 0Mr. Boyd of Spartanburg vigorously r opposed the acceptance of the invita e tion. He made his speech under diffi. f culty, having to cantend with a rapid fire of questions, frequent applause and bursts of laughter. r By a vote of 67 ta 30, the house de cided to accept the invitation to go to Charleston.
