Columbia. Feb. 18.—The legislat- -e is hurrying through with its work in the endeavor to reach final adjourn ment Saturday morning, so that the members can draw their forty day’s pay and go home for Sunday, but the present prospect Is that the adjourn ment cannot be had before Saturday night— in which case there will be a very small attendance at the final ses- < Ion. The remainder of the session’s work consists in agreemnt and disagree ment of the two houses upon measures that have passed one body or the other but not both. A lot of bills have been left on the house calendar that have not even been considered in that body, where they originated. The appropriation and supply bills have been practically agreed upon, the only important reduction in the ap propriations being that of $100 in the wages of the governor’s negro porter. Immigration Bill. The house has finally passed the bill establishing an immigration bu reau. The measure accepted is the one introduced in the senate by Sena tor Manning,it being substituted in the house for the similar bill introduced by Mr. W. L. Mauldin, and another by Mr. D. D. McColl, Jr. The fight for the bill in the house was led by Mes srs. Mauldin and Morgan, both of Greenville, and both of whom made strong speeches. However, the bill had a rough passage and passed to third reading yesterday with two house amendments, as follows: by Capt. Brooks, "Provides that immi grants sha’I be confined to white cit izens of the United States, citizens oX Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, France, origin.” By Mr. Devore, “Provides that in regard to agricultural Interests under this act it shall be the duty of the commissioner to secure those im migrants only who desire to purchase homes to become citizens of this State,and who will build up agricul tural interests.” The commissioner of Immigration is tt> bq.vapiieiAtpd by the royiernbr for ai torni of four years and will rco:<ve a salary of $1,950, with a clerk at $1,000, and $2,000 for advertising and travel ing expenses, Gov. Heyward is al ready being besieged by applications for the new job, but he says he will take his time and pick out the very best man he can find, regardless of any other consideraton than fitness for the place. The bill putting the telephone com panies under the railroad commission, a measure introduced by Senator Hy- drick, and after amendments passed by the senate, has now passed the amend the bill by adding a proviso that if the vagrant did not want to take advantage of the bill he should be punished as now provided by law. Senator McLeod’s bill to prohibit the traffic in seed cotton without a license between August 16th and De cember 15th has passed the senate but a similar measure has already been killed by the house. The same is true of Senator Goodwin’s bill to establish two additional Judicial cir cuits—the senate has passed It but a smilar measure was some time ago rejected in the house. There are no developments in the State house completion controversy— but a lot of ugly talk. J. H.

The meeting will taka place February 20-23. Heretofore each State met in sepa rate convention, but the recent federa tion of all the Associations in the Car- olinas with one executive committee makes it possible to meet in joint con vention. “Service,” is the central theme of this significant gathering of young men. The convention is to be mate rially strengthened by the presence of some prominent association workers from other sections of the country. Among those who have already con sented to be present is Mr. Chas. R. Townson, of Philadelphia. Mr. Town- son is secretary of the Pennsylvania railroad department.

The conference committee appoint ed on Mr. D. O. Herbert’s bill to cre ate scholarships at Clemson College, made Its report in favor of the senate amendment, making these scholar ships apply to the agricultural depart ment alone, and the report was ac cepted. This provides 124 additional scholarships in Clemson, confined to the agricultural course. The house has again rejected the proposition to make school atten dance compulsory by killing MX. Her bert’s bill requiring children between certain ages to go to school for eight weeks in the year. The house has also killed Mr. Toole’s bill to regu late the catching and sale of oysters, shad, clams and other shell fish, and | migratory fish. The bill was Intro duced last session and is somewhat along the lines of the law in Mary land. where there is an annual revenue of $400,000 from the license issueu to those In the shell fish industry. Vir ginia gets nearly $200,000 out of such licenses. The bill at first seemed to be favored by the majority of the house, but Mr. Colcock’s fight, almost unaided except for the assistance of Mr. Lofton, carrie 1 the day and the bill was lost. One thing which oper ated againsf the bill was the fact that 1*. was indicated by Mr. Bomar and Mr. Pollock that this bill mi^bt inter fere with the famous shad bill, now a law. Anti-Treating Bill. Mr. Doyle's anti-treating bill has at last got through both houses, though variously' amended. In its present shape the bill reads: "It shall be un lawful hereafter for any person to sell, barter or give away, or treat a voter, to any malt or intoxicating liquor within one mile of any voting precinct during any primary or other election under a pemdty upon conviction therefor of not more than 30 days’ im prisonment with labor." Vagrancy The senate seems tp be favorably disposed towards Senator Doan’s bill to amend fhe law by providlag that if the vagrancy of a person be estab lished by a Jury, he shall "be hound fin sufficient security, in the discre tion of the court, for his future in dustry and good conduct for one year.." If the vagrant gives bond he shall be punished by $100 fine or 20 days hard labor. The author of the bill made an earnest appeal for it, saying that the vagrant would be bound to his bondsman for a certain time, receiving a regular scale of wages. There Is no peonage in this system and the large number of va grants is alarming. He proposed to There will be a number of business and professional men who will fill places on the program. Altogether it is going to be a most significant gathering—some of the choicest men in the Carblinas will thus be brought together in a three day’s conference; they are coming from villages, from cities, from railroad shops, from col leges and universities, to plan to gether how they may individually be of greater service to tbeir fellows. This paper is authorized to extend a general invitation to any of its readers who may be interested to attend this convention. There will be reduced railroad rates, but all who contemplate attending must first communicate with the State commit tee’s office and be supplied with the proper credentials.

The fire w-as discovered in the basement of the building and is be lieved to have been of incendiary or igin. Besides the damage to the building and the stock'of goods, the Industrial Club, which occupies the second floor, was burned out and the Riverside Free Kindergarten school was badly damaged. As a result of Its inspection of the “petrified man,” the grand jury iu Asheville Tuesday returned true bills against ’Squire Andy Sitton and John Long for conspiracy to defraud the ‘Pristine Petrified Comwany.” A bi^ was also returned against Mr. Sifton for obtaining money under false pretenses.

The complaint alleges that a part of the machinery in operation at the quarry fell upon his left leg, spraining and bruising his back and otherwise injuring him, and that the accident was due to a defect in the machinery and the neglect of the workmen in charge. It is also al leged that Mr. Crenshaw's injuries are permanent. Mr. J.

Tuesday, while the boys were examining the shaft of the mine, they were attracted to a spot where a large pile of bones lay. On going to the spot the children were horri fied to see that the bones were of a human being. The skeleton bore evi dence# that the body had been in the mine several years. There was no flesh on the bones, they being as dry as a powder horn. Archie Lipscomb, colored, of Dur ham county, who was recently arrest ed and take-n to Oxforu on the charge of murder, -has been sentenced to hang on April 16th. An appeal has been taken to the supreme court and this will cause a stay of execution. Lipscomb killed a neighbor negro by the name of Merritt. The slayer lived in Durham county, a short distance f.yiflthe Granville line, and the man ./iMBMJyed just over the line in Gran Lipscomb killed his neiglPwr and erstwhile friend because he believed that Merritt had “con jured” his (Lipscomb’s) wife and that ske would die unless the "spell” was removed. In order to save his wife Lipscomb secured bis gun, went to the home of Merritt, poured a load of shot into his neck, causing Instant death, and then quietly waited at his own home for the arrival of officers from Oxford. A fire starting at 2 o’clock Friday morning destroyed the entire block of stores in Winterville, five miles south of Greenville, on the Atlantic Coast Line. Practically all the mer cantile section was burned, only two stores being left in the town. The fire began in the drug tore of Dr. B. T. Cox, about the centre of the block, and burned bo^h ways to the corner. Nine buildings were lost, all frame. The total loss is estimated at $12,000, with about $3,000 insurance.
