I The Gaffney ledger. A NEWSPAPER IN ALL THAT THE WORD IMPLIES. AND DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF CHEROKEE COUNTY. ESTABLISHED FEB. 16, 1894. GAFFNEY, 8. C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1908. $1.50 A YEAR. PROHIBITION BHLS CONSUME MUCH TIME MR. NASH’S BILL THE PENDING MTASURE. A Simple but Drastic and Sweeping Measure. Amended so as to Per mit One Gallon por Personal Use. Columbia, Jan. 30.—Liquor baa con sumed the usual amount of time in the two houses of the general assem bly this week, though some impor tant matters in whicn liquor has no part have been acted on. The house will likely vote today on the Nash prohibition bill. The sub stitute recommended by the minority of the dispesary committee for Mr. Nash’s original bill is really the meas ure under consideration. This substi tute is a simple but drastic and sweep ing prohibition measure as it now stands, but it has been amended so as to permit a citizen to keep as much as one gallon for personal use, a provision which the original sub stitute did not have. The fight for the bill has been led of course by Mr. Nash, and he has had the support of Mr. D. L. Smith, who introduced Mr. Nash’s bill all of a sudden last year, of Mr. John G. Richards, the former State dispensary leader, and of other strong men in the house. The op position has not so far debated the matter at all. In the senate the bill of Senator Ap- pelL to place a license of $1,000 on liquor drummers, has been the sub ject of much discussion. It was at tacked as unconstitutional, the op posing senator claiming that it in re ality licenses the sale of whiskey. The purpose of the bill, of course, Is to prevent the operation of whiskey drummers representing houses out side the state. After a very full dis cussion, the bill was amended so as to make the license $500 passed, 21 to 11. The counties of Lancaster and Marlboro were excepted. The whiskey puestion, in a way, was brought up in each house by the special message of Gov. Ansel on Tuesday, suggesting that the general assembly pass a concurrent resolu tion declaring that the commission to wind up the state dispensary is the agent, of the state and that the intention of the legislaure was not to create a trust, fund, the purpose of this declaration being to make it plain that the commission Is acting as agent of the state and in this way to prevent the interference of the Feder al court in the application for a re ceiver for the dispensary funds argu ed at Asheville on Wednesday. The suggested resolutions were at once Introduced on the heels of the mes sage and the house passed the resolu tion at once, without division, but in the senate Senator Blease objected to immediate consideration and undef. the rules the resolutions went oHSir. On Wednesday Senator Blease was again prepared to fight the resolution and Senator Raysor, Slnkler and others came to his support. Senator Christensen, friend of the adminis tration, consented to have the resolu tion amended so as to eliminate the endorsement of the commission’s pol icy in every particular and In the amended shape it was thought the resolution would pass, but when it came to a vote the motion to table pre vailed by a vote of 19 to 18. Senator Blease had outgeneralled the Mends of the administration. Fortunately the outcome had no effect on the pro ceedings at Asheville. The house had heard a good deal about the dispensary situation in Aiken county. Mr. Croft, of that oonnty. has made an extended state ment as to its position in regard to the establishment of a dispensary at North Augusta and on Wednesday the house passed the bill of Mr. Gyles to permit, an election on the dispensary In that county in April. Mr. Croft wanted the election in August but this did not prevail. The bill was amended so as to give Colleton the right to hold an election also. The house, by a vote of 57 to 45, and after full discussion, passed Mr. Hydrick.s bill to require the existence of crops to make mortgages thereon valid. This Is intended by the friend* of the repeal of the lien law as a measure supplementary to the repeal of the statute and it was fought for and against on the same lines as the repeal of the Hen law. The house, by a vote of 48 to 33, killed Mr. Nash’s bill to establish a department of Insurance, with an In surance commissioner. This bill, as Mr. Nash frankly stated, Is favored by the Insurance agents association, and it was opposed by Comptroller General Jones, under whose depart ment the insurance companies are now regulated. Railroads have again taken up much of the senate’s time this week. Mr. Kershaw’s bill, which passed the bouse last year, requiring an exami nation by a state board for railroad telegraphers was killed by a vote of 15 to 14. Senator Graydon’s bill, to prevent the running of "double headers,” trains with two engines, was passed by a vote of 19 to 10. Senator Graydon’s bill to regulate the practice In regard to the appltcar tlon of the plea of contributory neg ligence was objected to by some sen ators on the ground that It was too sweeping, and It was finally amended ap as to apply only to common car riers and In that nape It passed. (Senator Blease, since the worb of the dispensary commission has been brought up. has Introduced a resolu tion calling fo^ an inratlgation of the | commission’s action In regard to the i acceptance of the Clark Bros, whis- | key, for the purchase of which Gov. ; Ansel, on demand of the general as- i aembly, deposed the last state board j of control. On Wednesday at one o’clock the i house held memorial exercises in honor of the late Mr. J. M- Epting of Lexington, and the late Mr. W. F. McArthur, of Cherokee, both of whom to concoct schemes for avoiding work and embarrassing if not injur ing the whites. It affects the white lodges just as well, but the clerk of court is given discretion as to grant ing these licenses. Legal objections and practical objections were raised to the plain but the house passed the bill by a vote of 56 to 46.
