The houuo yesterday passed
Mr. Stone's bill to allow all < n
W vicls wiiose sentences are not over
10 years to be used on county
chaingangs.
The house had a few days be-1
forli* passed Afr. Weston's xbill toj
permit convicts in city jails to be j
leased to the county authorities.
Tlioro are two more propositions

the State farms, and that to stop

Tho house killed Mr. Bacot's

might bo submitted.
At (his point Mr. Kibler moved
to adjourn the debate. This was
carried. Tho effect of this mo
tion is two fold. It keeps the
committee from regaining pos
sion of the bill, and it places the
bill on the calendar as unfinished
business and having precedence
over everything else except third
reading hills, which are always
acted first. This means that the
child labor question- will in all
probability be discussed Monday.
TIIK DAY'S WORK.
The house accomplished a
good deal of work yesterday,
kill: g the throe bills referred to
? Mr Hacot's, Mt Dorroll's and
Mr. Durante?and passing to
thie i rending ] 1 others."
Mr Cooper's bill against carry
ing tire i i?i was passed?quite a
vkfevy for the hi 11?t>ut as
an: ided it reads rather roughly.
There was only one third road
ing bill on the calendar and a last
fight was made against it. This
was .Mr Richards' hill to exempt
graduates ot the Charleston Mod
ical college from examination ho
fore the State board.
Mr Wingo moved to recommit
thet.il!.
Mr Richards saw.no use in re
commiting the bill. It has been
before the house a week and its
provisions are now well known.
Mr Rucker defended the bill,
and his colleague, Mr Ashley op
posed it. Mr Ashley voted for
it last year, but had since seer,
danger in it.
Mr Hardin said that ho would
over raise his voice and ever cast
his vote against any bill which
would show discrimination ho
tweon the young men of South
Carolina.
Mr Stono said that yesterday
100 votes had been cast and the
> '11 passed second readimr. It
would he unfair now to take n
vote on the measure as so many
mem bora are absent.
Mr Mayson said ihat that it
would bo a reflection upon the
house to recommit the bill at this
sfape.

safeguards, whon more safeguards
i should be thrown around the
health of tho people,
i The motion to recommit, the
. regular formal motion unfavori
able to a third reading bill, was
I voted down.
RECORDING MORTGAGES.
The next bill taken up was Mr
Dorroh's to reduce the time ali
lowed for recording mortgages
from 40 to 5 days.
Mr Spears moved to strike out
tho enacting words.
.Mr Dorroh spoke in favor of
tho hill Ho hull i ri f rrwl

the request of the Greenville bar.
The 40 day limit I now stands
admits of too much fraud.
Mr Wilson said it would be a
i hardship on the people in the
coun ry to have but five days in
which to go to the court house to
, filo their papers.
Mr Strom said it would require
i man to k :ep a "mule and a
nigger ready to go to the court
hoiue'' at any time.
Mr Spears said that the people)
understand the general law, and j
it. would create confusion to!
jchange it. Furthermore, the bill
would not prevent fraud, lor a
party, if on fraud intent, would
commit the fraud within five days !
as well as within forty.
Mr Cooper thought fiyo days i
too short a time and 40 days too.
long, lie favored an amendment!
making 20 days the limit.
Mr Kinard said that people |
in the country who rake papers ;
do not like to s *nd to the courthouse
every timo a note is taken.
He moved to indefinitely postpone
the bill. This was carried
.and the bill was killed.
The following passed second
reading without discussion :
. Mr Racot's hill to allow Laurence
Malone and others to traverse
the proceedings for
escheat of the estate of Thomas
W. Malone,
Mr Spears?To declare the
| correct reading of section 7 of
|tlio act of 1900 relating to as-1
Bessmont of railroad property)
which had boon off of the tax
hooks.
The judiciary committoo's
bill to cede Beach avenue, on j
Sullivan's Island, to the United
States government for military
purposes.
Mr Johnson's bill to provide!
for the incorporation of cities of
more than f>,000 inhabitants.
Mr Lock wood?To abolish the
charter of Port Royal ferry.
MrMLSmith?To require bond
or master of Kershaw county.
Mr Butler ? Relating to drawing
two sets of jurors in Cherokee
county.
Mr Brice, senate bill?To
amend the art creating the
school district in Yorkville.
Tit K CSK OK FIR HARMS .
There was a general fight over
the bill of Mr Cooper of Laurons
to regulate the sale, mar ufuctur-?
and carrying of firearms.
The hill prohibited Ihe carry
ing of pistols, concealed or tx
posed, less than 30 inches in
lenght and weighing less than
three and a half pounds.
Mr Cooper answered a number
of questions put to him by mem-1
bers of the house. He had care
fully considered the constitution
ality ol tho liill and had consulted j
members of the circuit court.
These had all told hini that
I he hiii in constitutional, arid
does not violate the fundamental
j rigm 01 nuzoiis w> near firms.
Mr (ralliicliat taw merit in tin*
bill. It is constitution d.
Mr J C Robertson favor?d the
Kill. Ir would keep ruffians
from goinx to town salosdays
with pistol- strapped around
them. Nobfdy hut "niggers and
cowards carry pistols."
Mr Boamgtiard spoko in its
support. lie wanted to offer an
amendment that a man could
carry a pistol on his own preni
ises.
Mr McGowan favored the
hill.
Mr Kpear* opposed the mess
lure lie refuted the charge that

tcct their persons. As a magistrate,
he ha<l been forced to ten
tence people tor carrying concealed
weapons, and ho had always
done so reluctantly, knowing
that the informant was
prompted by prejudice.
The bill in question will create
a regular system of espionage.
Mr Sinkler end Mr Hardin
favored the bill. Mr Sinkler,
who had introduced a bill to
this efFect two years ago and had
investigated the constitutionality
of Mr Cooper's bill, pronounced
it sound.
Mr Frascr said that the bill
had been reported unfavorably
not to sanction tho carrying of
weapons, but togivolaw abiding
citizens a chance to protect
themselves against those men I
who carry weapons concealed,
and will continue to do so.
There are cases of dire necessitv,
when a man must arm himself,!
for instance, when a mad dog is!
going around, or in the case of'
a county treasurer or other such j
man carrying large monies.
Mr Cooper explained that thol
presiding judge could throw out
the case if it be shown that circumstances
justified.
Mr Iv R .V Uohinson said that
a pistrl m one pocket and a
bolt! of liquor in the other was
a bad combination A nmn
with two arms and two legs
dott't. deed a pistol He can
fight or foot it [Laughter].
Mr.I (' Robertson maintained
hi- statement that nobody hut a
coward carries a pistol habitually.
The man who continually
carries a pistol must be
terribly afraid somebody is
going to hurt.
Mr Morgan said that this hill
would strengthen the law against
concealed weapons.
Mr Weslon said that all nieas
nres against this evil had fallen
slu rf. lie believed in absolute
prohibition of the sale of pistols.
This hill would force people to go
to a great deal of trouble to get
t hern.
M 1 v 1 *
iwr I'orron opposed the hill because
the people who now carry
pistols concealed will continue to
doit anyway, and good citizens
will no: he allowed to carry them
in n\y way.
Mr. Kiehardson said the bill is
not a!t-.^' '.her perfect, but some
features ot it were excellent.
Mr D>ld of Spartanburg made
quite a speech in favor of the
bill, lie touched up lawyers a
little bit in bis remarks.
The vote, on the motion to
strike out, resulted 30 to 05
against the motion and in favor
01 the hill.
TilKtiK KILLED.
The house then acted upon Mr
IhiranTs bill to secure better re
turns for taxes and collection o!
same. Mr Durant explained the
provisions of the bill. However,
it had an unfavorable report and
was killed.
Likewise Mr. Becot's bill to

The house then took up M
Strom's bill relative to the elig
ibility of convicts to the selec
society of county chaingnng*.
Mr Strom and Mr Stackhoust
spoke in favor of it. Mr Wing<
made a good speech reciting tin
necessity for skilled labor ir
