A!E BUSY Upper House Upholds State System of Roado In ,Slaughtering Meas ure-Other Matters. Columbia. The senate killed the Wightman bill to allow the supervisor and county :omnissioners of Saluda county Eo use 80 per cent of the automobile license fund in the county, at their liscretion. By the killing of the Saluda bill the senate refused to disrupt the state highway act and thus begin an under mnirlng of the highway commission, according to several senators who spoke against the measure. The sen ate was apparently surprised at itself as the bill drew forth a long debate, but when the vote was reached the balloting was overwhelmingly against the measure. The vote was 24 to 11 to strike out the enacting words, this being on the motion of Senator Young of Charleston. The concurrent resolution offered by Mr. McInnes in the house provid Ing for conferences between the rail road and highway commissions lurig the year in an effort to derive a plan to eliminate dangerous grade cross ings was slaughtered lby a vote of 26 to 6. Senator Wightman moved to strike out the resolving words and after a short debate pro and con the resolution was killed. Senator 1-lubbard's joint resolution to prohibit .the planting of cotton in South Carolina for one year in order to eradicate the boll weevil was killed on a viva voce vote. This resolution w'vuld not have taken effect until sim ilar laws had been passed by Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and !North Carolina, but the senate did not think the- bill to be along the right lines. Senator Moore moved to strike :ut the resolving words and this was one. The senate likewise struck out the resolving words of the Elerbe con current resclution asking the tax com mission to lower the assessments on land by 25 per cent. The resolution was characterized as "confusing and solens." Senator McGhee moved to trike out the resolving words and the vote was 14 to 8 to kill the resolution. By a vote of 16 to 15 the senate killed the Simonhoff marriage liceni bill to require all males to pres/nt certificates from reputable physiciqns that they were free from venereal riseases before they could procure marriage licenses. The senate also ~passed and return ed to the house the university trus tee bill enlarging the board of trus tees of the University of South Caro lina to 21 elective members 1ly 1926. One amendment adopte-d by t'he sen ate merely changes the years as the bill was initroduced last year and this clerical change was necessary, but a last minute amendmeuit offered by Senator MicGhee to pl'ovide that no member of the general assembly shall be eligible to be elected a trustee under the terms of the act may pro voke opposition in the house. The senate agreed to the amendment. Bly it vote of 26 to 10 the senate adopted a resolution at the beginning of the session giving all the revenue measures now before the b~ody and those yet to come right of way over all matters, with the exception off local, uncontested matters. Later an attempt was made to get up the in come tax btlls for the purpose of send ing them to- third reading with the understanding that the debate come then, and this brought on consider able debate as to the advisability of such procedure. The brokers' license tax biill, a new eomer,, among the series of revenue measures in the house, was reached on the calendar, but action on it was de layed on the objection of Julius S. Mclnnes of Darlington. Jesse S Leopard of Pickens is the author of the bil1l. Duplicate bills were introduced in the house and senate to provide for the transfer and annexation of 8,900 acres of Lexington county aerritory to Richiand county and to .alter the county lines so as to conforth thereto. The bills -.re sponso.red by the Rich land county delegation. The territory affected by the bills lies in the extreme northeastern cor ner of Lexington county. Fourteen square miles of territory make up the plot, which is boundcd by Broad river on the east an~I north, on the south by Richland and Lexington counties and on the west by Newborry county. The house also refused to concur in the amendments of the senate on the gasoline and inhesitance tax bills. l'he senate insisted on its amend nents and a free conference commit ee 'consisting of Senators Johnson, itcColI anel Laney was appointed for ~he inheritance tax measure on the ~art of. tehe senate. An unfavor-able report was made by ~he finance committee on the bill by senator Wells to require state col egos and other state institutions as ve1l as county supervisors to pur hase supplies from the home mar Uate'ua paiiege by th house of the SheppardbBaritett "bad check" Wgop foreshadowed when the house, iotr ,considerable disetsasion of the measure pro and con, sent the bill -p third reading by an overwhelming majority., The one test vote taken showed a majority of 76 to 34 favor. ing the measure, and the' bill is ex. pected to encounter little, if any, op. position when it comes up for third reading. The bill, which was first introduced last year with the idea of supplying teeth to the check law of the state, provides "that it shall be unlawful and felonious for any person in his dwn name, or as an attorney in fact for any other person or persons or as an- officer or agent of any corpora tion or unincorporated association, society or company, to obtain money or other property of any kind or na' ture whatever, with fraudulent intent by means of a check, draft or order, of which such person is maker or drawer, or which. though he is not maker or drawer, he, with like intent, utters or - delivers or aids or abets another to utter or deliver. If such check, dIraft. or order is not paid by the drawoo, the person making, draw ing or uttering the same shall be deemed. guilty of the larceny of such money or property or thing of value obtained on such cre(Mt, and the fact that such maker or drawer did not have on deposit with the bank, per son, firm or corporation upon which such check, draft or order is drawn, sufficient funds to pay the same in full when presented, shall, as against the maker or drawer of such check, draft or order, be prima facie evi. dence of fraudulent intent, . and any person so convicted shall be punished by fine or imprisonment in the dis cretion of the court. Provided that if such chock, draft or order be paid, with costs and interest, upon .notice, or at any time previous to the trial or examination of such person, or if such person be not tried or examined, If such check, draft or order be pa d before indi.Itment by a grand jury, no such presumption shall arise: Provided, farther, that if the amount of the check, draft or order be less than $20, the offense may be triable within the jurisdiction of the magis trate's court." Prospects for an adjournment of the general assembly within the con stitutional 40 days look rather slim at present with the senate legislative mill grinding exceedingly slow in com parison to the house. Those in touch with the inner workings of the as sembly seem to think that several ex tra weeks will be necessary unless "more gas is turned on" and the mill speeded up. One official said that if much more speed was not shown within the next week he was con vinced the two bodies would be here.. until April 1. That, however, is prob ably a little far-fetched. Highway Engineer Resigns. Charles H. Moorefield, state high way engineer, has placed in the hands of the chairman of the state highway commission, R. Goodwyn Rhett, his resignation, effective at the pleasure of the commission. Mr. Moorefield's action grows out of the construction put upon a letter written by him to Thomas H. Mtac.. Donald, chief of the federal bur-eau of public roads, a copy of which wvas submitted to members of the ways and ineans committee of the house last week, when highway matters wvere un tier consideration before that comi mittee. Certain leaders in the general as semblly have insisted that such a let ter was an indiscretion on the port of Mr. Moorefield. In- tendering his ros ignation to Mr. Rhett, chairman of the highway commission, 151r. Moore field'expressedl his willingness to re tire if his elimination wvould harmon ize elements here that have be-en op posing the highway department and its program. It is understood that cer tain leaders in the house and the sen ate have assuredl Governor Cooper that Mr.Moorefield's retirement would eliminate the fight on the highway department. Charlos 0. Ilearon, of Spartanburg, member of the state highway tom mission, who was in .Columbia' recent ly expressed surp~rise at the turn the fight on the state highwvay dlepartmlent had taken In the demand for the res ignation of Mr. Moorefield, state high way engineer.
