The house increased the total of the bill by $21,000, making it $1,963,986.23 instead of $1,942,986.23. Of the increase $20,000 was added to the $60,000 item for rural schools, em ploying two or three teachers, under act 497, page 924, statutes 1912. The contingent fund to be expended by coun ty boards of education under regulations provided by the state superintendent of education for especially needy rural schools was also increased from $45,000 to $65,000, but this increase was offset by striking out the item of $20,000 for public school buildings and did notaffect the total of the bill. The only remain maining item the house changed was in the section for the attorney general's office, where the amount for expenses of litigation was raised from $1,000 to $2,000. The 6-mill levy in the appropriation bill is divided, 5 mills being set asidefor general state purposes and -L tgli for pensions, wtb the ir6viso that if the the amount raised for-tensions shall ex ceed the sum needed, then the remain der shall be subject to the warrant of the comptroller general for state pur poses. Comparatively few amendments were offered to the appropriation bill this year. Judging by results, the most se rious difference of opinion between the ways and means committee and the house was over the distribution of $250, 000 for public schools, raised Saturday to $270,000. In the appropriation bill Winthrop college was the only state educational institution given a new building. The state college for women was granted $15,000 out of the taxes of 1915 and a I like amount out of the taxes of 1916 for a new gymnasium, provided the sum of I $30,000 was raised from other sources for the same purpose. Besides the usual -ppropriatioinfoi maintenance, the University of South Carolina was given $12,500. to enlarge . the heating plant.

Many members of both houses concluded that..n. extra ession seemed inevitable. There were some, however, who still hoped there yet might be time to dispose of appropriation bills and the ship-pur chase measure in some form before March 4.

Anticipating a break in the Senate, President Wilson had conferr ed throughout the day with House leaders on plans to get the bill before he House and such a course may be aken, though Senate Republicans in fst their fight will continue' until the mi of the session no matter what the ghninistration forces may accomplish n the House. Insurgent Democrats led by Senator Kardwick, sought a compromise with heir colleagues by which- the party :ould be united in a renewed effort to >ass the bill. The plan suggested was that the warring Democrats hold Sconference after their commitment >f the bill. Some of the insurgents hen would propose that the bill be Lmended to provide that the p-:oposed lovernment ship-purchase enterprise should terminate at a stated period fter the close of the Eunipean war, md that purchase of interned ships )f belligerents be prohibited.
