COLUMUIA Dee. 9. The week in the General Assembly hau been entertaining in tho way of debate but very little has been accom plished. The bill for tho repeal of eharter? of eprporAiions refusing . to pay their tuxes passed In Its third and final reading In the Senate but that was a foregone conclusion. It was stubbornly fought and an unusual dis play of indepondonce on tho part of the Reform element was manifested In the disc fusion. It went through only by veto of 1*0 to 14. Wilson of Spartan burg was in charge of it and he shoved it through with his usual relentless ve hemence in dealing with intractable cor-poratlons. Timmerman and Pinloy opposed It. Pinloy, by tho way, is the unknown factor in tho Senate. Some times ho votes and fights for measures most repugnant to the Conservative element and yet while they arc still gnashing their teeth at him ho often I conies to thorn with timoly assistance. The salary reduction bill hangs fire. Its passage depends entirely upon whother or not tno Tillinanitcs really mean to pass it and their intontion is one of those things like "tho way of serpent upon a rock- too wonderful to understand.'' The bill to put Charleston in the Hlack district with the unwritten amendment of sending some citizen like Stokes to tho national legislature lias passed its second reading, despite the frantic efforts of tho one time po tent and inlluontiul reformer, Cal. Caughman. Cal's voice is still heard in the land, sounding, sounding, but his glory i? of the far-gone departed variety and ho isn't any more listened 1 to as one of '-'armor Ben's old chains. I fancy tho. new spick and span dis pensary law will be passed as Intro duced without material amendment though there will bo a vast deal of wrestling and tussling over some of its features. It's a tight, severe, stern, drastic measure and the purpose of its framei'S evidently is to devise a statute which must turn a stream of dollars to the Kefawm bars or else starve the dry portion of humanity outright. In brief you "touch not, taste not, handle not" anything but Dispensary liquor or else go to jail for thirty days or pay a fine of a hundred dollars. Constables may enter any house where they sus pect liquor to be concealed whether tho house is a private dwelling or soft drink emporium. Violators of the act may be arrested without warrant. Section tit reo is expected to break up entirely the practice of importing liquor Into the State. Tho salary of tho State dispenser is to bo increased $1200. The bill is not likely to come up for debate before next week. What tho Conservatives, will have to say about it is a matter of conjecture. Many people are of the opinion that a trial of the preposterous measure will disgust everybody with it and that it would bo better to let it go through without an amendment being hinted by its opposers. It has been finally determined that a reading of Brazeale's codification will not bo necessary but of course it will not have the force of anew statute. A session after Christinas to enact it would have cost #40,000 and it was thought, hotter to accept it merely as a digest than to incur such an outlay. The county government bill will bo called up to-morrow. Senator Wilson's bill to compel cor porations to pay their employes at tho end of each week, etc, has boon un favorably reported, but it is not im probable that the Senator will put in a lick or two for it on tho lloor. Wilson Is good at that sort of a thing and as this hill will strike a popular chord, ho may succeed in saving it. -JLlr.^'<'q%dricti ng bill_Jv^*~Tih yet passed tfujfioiisfc. A bill is pending to restore $50 to all liquor dealers in the State who paid the license of $100 to the County Treasurers this year and w hose estab lishments were closed by tho Dispen sary law in July. laubens. Representative Smith's bill to place a tax on dogs, was lost after a two hour debate. A bill making It a mis demeanor to allow any sheep killing, egg Sucking etc., dog to run at large was passed in tho House. The bill to create a new school dis trict in Cross Hill, is on a fair way to passage. County chairman C. P. Smith has appointed to a clerkship in the en grossing department. The "Greenwood county" people have secured a favorable committee report in the House on thoir bill but their plans had previously been changed and no part of Laurens is to bo contributed to the new county. The letters received by Tun adver tiser from gentlemen on the Saluda side and published, possibly had some thing to do with bringing this about. Anyhow The Advertiser thanks all on both sides of the question who were kind enough to reply to their queries. Representative Smith is strenuously opposing the new county bill. Representative Wolf has introduced a bill organizing a new school district at Friendship with the usual provisions for a special tax, etc. He has also drawn up but not Introduced, a bill providing a new school district in the neighborhood of Barksdale. He has refrained from Introducing this bill because the people of that sect ion do not seem to be united on the measure as to the bounds of the district and etc., and letters and petit ions lor and against it have been received. Until ?these differences have been adjusted, tho bill will probably not be introduced. Another of Dr, Wolf's bills provides that the two Trial Justices in the city of Laurens be paid each a salary of $200 per annum, and that the offlco of Con Btableo bo abolished, the duties of th( latter office are to bo devolved upon the Sheriff, who is to bo empowered to serve Trial Justice's process. A reason given me for the lalter provis ion is that the Laurens Trial Justices sometimes experience trouble in find ing their Constables when wanted. The Constables, of course, are obliged to engage in busines additional to their Official duties in order to earn a liveli hood and consequently it Is argued that they are not always* to be bad at a moment's notice. The Sheriff or his deputy though is always convenient. Messrs. Jones Fowler and Marvin Wolf arrived in the city Thursday and at'C are quartered at the Grand' Cen tral. Mr. Frank D. Bait was here in tho early part of the week. When the King (?) Judges go Out.
