Legislature Met
y Columbia, Jan. 13.-In a de
r- cidedly business-like manner the
d general assembly of South Cato
-e lina organized yesterday for its
o 71st session. The refusal of the
Ls senate to accept an invitation to
3- visit Winthrop college January
k- 20 is taken by the observers as
it an indication that the upper
house is resolved~ to waste as
if little-time as possible. -
r- The senate was called to order
e at noon by Charles A. Smith of
r- Timmonsville; retiring .lienten- t
y ant-Governor: The senate, act
s ine under the caucus Monday
e night, elected LeGrand Walker,
t- Georgetown, its president pro
tempore and M. M. Mann oftSt.
h Matthews its clerk. In addition
s to the annual message, the
;o senate received from thp-gcr,
i, ernor a-SpeTi resage recoin
? mending the continuance of the
te state warehouse system started
.d under an act of the October
special session. The senate de
r- bated the question of going to
c- WinthroD and finally decided
)- not to do. so, after an hour of
i- 'discussion.
J. Wilson Gibbs of Columbia,
Le who had a lead on the first
n ballot, was finally elected clerk
s- of the house of representatives
e after the roll had been called
Lo nine times. Ai had been an
it ticipated,- James A. Hoyt of
i- Columbia was made speaker
,s without opposition. In a brief
a speech he outlined his views on
y important measures which will

applauded him when he said
is that the general assembly could
" not afford to ignore the passage
>f of a compulsory school' attend
y ance law, under the injunction
id laid down by the voters in the
y- last'primaries.
to The house passed unanimous
e- lV a resolution introduced by
a- Mr. Brigham of Aiken, felici
e. tating Piesident Wilson on his
as administration. The resolution
)f commended the president in the
bd highest terms, praised the Sim
7- mons-Underwood tariff bill and
e. congratulated the nation's chief
r- executive on his policy as re
a- gards Mexico.
IV Important amendments pro
is posed to the rules of the last
s- house caused the house yester
:h day to defer their adoption until
le today. One of the amendments
ps offered makes it impossible to
e- carry on a filibuter such as
te blocked for a number of days
d the passage of the bond issue
a- 'bill in the house during the
f- special session.
Another amendment d o e s
"away with the limitation on the
re number of members on corn
e. mittees, leaving this to the dis
en cretion of the speaker. The in
f. dicat ions are that a fight will be
made on this amendment, to the
r- end, and that no more than 13
.~ members can be appointed on
g the more important committees
y and not-more than nine on the
toothers.
