LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS BEGAN YESTERDAY (Continued from Page One.) the important issues to be considered will -be the tightening up of the pri 'mary system. There are already pend ings bills on this subject. The Gover nor, as is known, is opposed to any changes and there promises to be live ly contests over this topic. As machin cry has to be provided for the selec tion of a United States Senator and perhaps for the Presidential primary, under State authority, the chances are that something will be done. Some ar gue that the primary should be han dled by the Democratic party, but now that the People are to elect Uni ted States Senators and there is a pro posal to get the sentiment in Presi lential prinaries, something will have to be done by the State itself. Little will be t.ne at the opening of the session except to interchange views and in a friendly way talk ov er conditions and situations On Tues day the Governor's message will be re celved and read and that will be About all that will be undertaken at that time.

When the Constitution of 1895 was adopted the idea was to provide for several long sessions, where were to friyne laws that would conform to the new Constitution. The lawmak ers have, however, gotten away from the original idea and from the thirty day sessions and think they are bound to have at least forty-day sessions. This is not the case, as they are paid by the session regardless of the time spent in Columbia. As a matter of fact, if the legislators, in advance, fixed the time and stuck to it they could with all ease do everything that is to be done In thirty days' time. There are to be an unusual number of elections by the General Assembly, including the Chief Justice of the Su preme Court, several Circuit Judges, Insurance commissioner and numerous members of boards of trustees of State colleges. he personal equation is all that has thus far entered any of these contests, although there is spir ited nivalry for 'many of the places. The report is that there are twenty eight candidates in the field for the position of State librarian- the only elective position in the State held by a wolnan. More Labor Legislation. Calling attention to the generosity which the General Assembly has dealt with the department of agriculture, r'ommerce and industries, in enacting Into laws recommendations In the past, Commissioner Watson in his annual report recommends more labor legis letion. He calls attention to the good results which have come from the en ictment of the Factory Inspection Act, regulating hours of labor in mercan Ile establishments, relating to seats I or women, the Messenger Boy Act, viping out of exemption of children /ENT OF OMPAl AT ced hard and used a ttend.

M. or later than 8 P. M., that an Act should be passed prohibiting absolutely the use of the suction shuttle in any cotton mill af ter July 1, 1914, that no women be per mitted to work after 10 P. M., that the provision allowing making up of time in the hours of labor In textile plans be repealed and "substituting therefor such regulations to cover such contin gencies as may arise, that all manu facturers be required to file' reports with the commissioner one 'month ear lier than IDecember 5. For Better Protection. Commissioner Watson recommends the requiring of all factory buildings to be equipped with fire escapes, that all dangerous machinery and beltings in all manufacturing plants and work shops be 'properly safeguarded, to re (uire proper ventilation and sanitation of manufacturing -plants and work shops, and confer authority on the commissioner to enforce the regula tions. le also recommends that laws be enacted providing for the inspection and regulation of all baker shops and ,onfeetionacy shops. le would have 3 law passed preventing the appear ance of children under 14 years of age in any professional performance wpon the stage of any theatre or place of amusement, to make emdlloyment agencies subject to license by the com missioner, who shall enforce rules and regulations for their conduct, to pro THE YE! jy's .11 our energies to m you to put aside the crowds and seei [ mean to us a greatb rn now on for wini >mf for spring stocks Bargains in. 1,250 yards of beautiful q1 20cts, 25cts and 30cts.

Mr. Watson would amend the law prohibiting employment of children, and increase the minimum age from 12 years to 13 years, after January 1, 1915, and to 14 years after January 1, 1916. He calls attention to the fact that most of the States have 14 years as the age at which children must ar rive before they can be employed in cotton mills or other manufacturing plants and he thinks that the time has now come when South Carolina ought to raise the limit from. 12 to 14 years, gradually.-vNews and Courier.
