Thc House bill to require ibo board of ftgricultttl'0 and the directors of tho penitentiary to pay into the Slate treasury all inouevs collected bv them I from any source hail been unfavorably reported by tho agricultural committee, who considered that it would hamper these departments in expenditure'? which were proper but could not be anticipated by the General Assemblv in its appropriation bill*. Other Sena tors objected to it because it would place both departments at the mercy of legislators, lt was speedily dis posed of when it came up for its second reading. Senator Mundy moved to indefinitely postpone the unfavora ble report of the committee. Senator Youinuns moved to table this motion.

Sen ators Brid and Woodward, who would have voted "no," were paired with Senators Talbert and Reynolds. Tho motion being lost, thc Question recurred on the passage of the bill. At this point tho House appeared to participate in the ratification of Acts, and thc bill, with the other special orders, was postponed until thc next day. On the following day tin1 discussion was resumed. On the motion to pass the repealing bill, the vote stood: Yeas-Biemann, Black, Hobo, Buist, Clyburn.

A motion to reconsider, and to table that motion was lost. So thc matter was left stiil open. The Senate killed the bill fixing the priority ot liens-giving the landlord the first lien, the laborer thc second. The matter came up again on the 17th inst., when tho bill to lix the priority of lieiiR was reconsidered, and passed. On the 10th the bill was passed to its third reading, in the following shape: "SECTION 1. That from and after tho passage of this act thc landlord shall havo a lieu upon the crops of his tenant for his rent, in preference lo all other liens. That laborers who assist in making any crop shall have a lien thoreon to the extent of tho amount due them for such labor, next ill priori ty t? the landlord, and as between such laborers there shall be no preference. That ail other liens l'or agricultural supplies Khali be paid next after tho satisfaction of the Ilona ot tho landlord and laborers, and shall rank in other respecta as they do now under exist ing laws. '.SKI;. That no writing or record ing shall bo necessary to create the liens of tho landlord, and of tho labor er, but such lien shall exist from tho dato of the contract, wheller thc same bo in writing or verbal. "SKC U That all nula and parts of acts inconsistent with or supplied by this act be, and thc same are hereby, -v , repealed " This bill docs not affect liens for supplies, bul placo? such liens subordi nate lo landlords' and laborers' lieus. Senator Patterson endeavored to have reconsidered the adverse vote of the Senate on the bill authorizing the payment of expenses of county school commissioners incurred in attending meetings caped by the State superin tendent of education. Ile was sup ported by Senator Hoist, and opposed by Senator Youinans, upon whoso motion the reconsideration wai refused and tho bill finally kilted. The bill to regulate the hiring out of convicts caused a long debate. This bill removes the restrictions imposed by the Act of 1884. As amended, however, it provides that any con tractor or any other person or persons who shall violate the provisions ul any law regulating the hiring of convicts shall bc held guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall bo punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years or by tine not exceeding $000: and in all such casca any couvi.tt Hindi be a competent witness for the State.

The Prohibitory Act had been passed by this body at the instance of tho former Senator ?(Dr. Lartiguc), but that gentleman had appealed before I he judiciary committee to state that the law had tailed and to ask for its repeal. Sinator Youinans in supporting the bill bu-cil his argument on lin; ineffi cacy of the law. There were good people on each aide. He himself had been little interested in the matter, and was no par: isan, but ho hud been com pelled to take this position. The county was distracted, tho law was flagrantly violated and (he administra tion of justice was cloggod. What had more elicet on his mind than anything oise was an inspection of tho hooks of tho United States internal revenue department. It appears from these records that in 1883, before Prohibition had been deorecd, thc United States issued liceusns to twenly-tjipao.wliiskoy dealers in Barnwell county. , In 188-4, after tho county had been in?qV "dry" bv Act of tho Legislature, twenty-eight United States licenses were issued, and lu tho seven mouths since last May tho lemo had increased to thirty-eight. It ^wmtfmms^mssmtu.^_BBB wus . *lii.'ialcd ihat only one-third of tho whiskey sellers had united States licensed. This was thc condition ot the county.
