Mr. Stone's Bill ??e"o i the House Yesterday. AGAINST CARRYING FIREARMS. The House Killed air. Bacot'N Rill to Provide tor the Appointmeut ot Stole jumrurmn. The house yesterday passed Mr. Stone's bill to allow all convicts whose sentences are not over 10 yours to be used on oouHty chuingangs. The house had a few days before passed Mr. Weston's bill to permit convicts in city jails to bo leased to the county authorities. There are two more propositions to be disposed of?that to sell the State farms, and that to stop the lease of convicts to private parties. The house killed Mr. Bacot's bill to provide tor the appointment of State librarian by the governor; Mr. "Durant's bill relating to the proper return of property for taxation, and Mr. Dorroh's to limit to five days the ? time for recording mortgages, etc. Just before adjournment the child labor question was given a little touch. Mr. Weston's bill, the compromise said to bo agreeable to the Slate Federation of Labor, had in some way gotten on nifl caiennar witn an untavorable report. Mr. Crum moved to recommit the bill. Mr. Weston did not happen to he in the hall, and Mr. Ilueker asked that as a courtesy to Mr. Weston the hill bo not recommit od. It was contended that the house had a ri;;hl to dispose of the motion in the absence of Mr. Weston. Mr. (Jroft said that all that waa wanted was for the hill to be sent had; 'o J ho committee in order that a minority report A iwimmTLiitu itvm AIM r-.lt, llitl.,11 JEjIVI .

It keeps the committee frotn regaining possum of the bill, and it places the bill on tho calendar as unfinished business and having precedence over everything elso except third reading hills, which are always acted first. This means that the child labor question will in all probability be discussed Monday. THK DAY'S WORK. Tiie house accomplished a good deal of work yesterday, kill g the throe hills referred to ? Mr Raeot's, Mr Dorroli's and Mr. Durani's?and passing to third reading 11 others. Mr Coopers bill against carrying firearms was passed?quite a victory tor tho bill?hut. as amended it roads rather roughly. Ti.ero was only one third read ing hill on the calendar and a last fight was made against it. This was Mr Richards' bill to oxenipl graduates ot the Charleston Mod ichi ouego irotn examination he for* the State board. Mr Wingo moved to recommit the bill. Mr Richards saw no use in ro commiting the bill. It has been before the house a week and its provisions are now well known. Mr Rueker defended the bill, and liis colleague, Mr Ashley opposed it. .Mr Ashley voted tor it IaRI year, but had since seen danger in it. Mi Hardin said that ho would ever raise his voice and ever cast hia vote against any bill which would show discrimination bo tween the young men of South Carolina. Mr Stone said that yesterday 100 votes had been cast and the hill passed second reading. It would he unfair now to take a on the measure as so many members are absent. Mr Mayson said that that it would ho a reflection upon the I.A.ion :* LMI x .1 11?/<.ICIU IU i neiuil III 11 lilt) 1)111 lit t J118 Htnpro.

C., WEDN against the bill. It is removing safeguards, when more safeguardn should bo thrown around the health of the people. The motion to recommit, the regular formal motion unfavorable to a third reading bill, was voted down. RECORDING MORTGAGES. The next bill taken up wan Mr Dorroh's to reduce the time allowed for recording mortgagee from 40 to 5 days. Mr Spears moved to strike out the enacting words. Mr Dorroh spoke in favor of the bill, lie had introduced it at the request of the Greenville bar. The 40 day limit as it now stands admits of too much fraud. Mr Wilson said it would bo a hardship on the people in the country to have but live days in which to go to the court house to tilt their naners g ? r .'.ft Sl.'oni said it would require a in at; to keep a "mule and a nigger ready to go to the court hoiMo" Kt any time. Mr Spears said that the people unlerstand the goneral law, and it would create copfusion (o hinge it. Furthermore, the bill would not prevent fraud, for a party, if on fraud intent, would commit fhe fraud within five days as well as within forty. Mr Cooper thought fiye da^H too short a time and 40 day! too long, lie favored an amendment making 20 days the limit Mr Kinard said that people in the country who take papers do not like to send to the courthouse every time a note is taken. He moved to indefinitely postpone the bill This was carried and tho bill was killed. The following nnsserl second reading without discussion : Mr Bacot's bill to allow Laurence Malone and others to traverse the proceedings for escheat of the estate of Thomas W.

There was a general fight, over the bill of Mr Cooper of Laurens to regulate the sale, manufacture and carrying of firearms. The bill prohibited the carry i.ig of pistols, concealed or ex posed, less than 30 inches in leught and weighing less than time and a hall pounds. Mr Cooper answered a number of questions put to him by members of the house. He had care | fully considered the constitutionali'y ot the bill and had consultod members of the circuit court. Tnese had all told him that the bill is constitutional, and does not violate the fundamental *ight of citiz? ns to bear arms. Mr Galluchat saw merit in the bill. It is constitutional. Mr J C Robertson favored the bill. It would keep ruffians I from going to town salesdays [ with pistols strapped around hem Mfihr.itv hilt "nii'orfiro nrwt cowards carry pistols." Mr Beamguard spoke in its support. Ho wanted to offer an amendment that a man could carry a pistol on his own prom 1 SOS. Mr McGowan favored the bill.
