ESTABLISHED 1865. NEWBERRY, S. C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 19O. TWICE A WEEK BILLS BROUGHT OVER FROM LAST SESSION. MEASURES THE SENATE WILL FIND ON ITS CALENDAR. session llegins TodeylWeek-State Officer. Hard at Work (etting the An nual Reports Ready The Governor'e Message. (The State, 23rd.) The second annual session of the present general assembly is to begin next Tuesday week and on all sides, though this is what is known as Christmas week, preparations are being made for the opening of the forty-day session of the' salons. It is very generally conceded that the session will continue till the constitutional forty-day limitation is up. All the State officers and the State institutions are hard at work putting the finishing touches to the several annual reports, but there will be only a few of them that can be placed on the desks of the members on the opening day of the session. Attor ney General Bellinger and te Sec retary of State have their reports about complete; the Adjutant Gen .eral's was completed yesterday and so was that of the Railroad Commis sioners. There are several of the 'others that cannot be completed un :til the first day of the new year has come and the books have been -closed for the year. Some of the oicials have been having a great deal of trouble this year in getting reports from county officials on time. For instance the Superintendent of Education is pre paring an elaborate report as to the achools and school funds of the State, and data is needed from each county for the elaborate tabular statements. This was impressed upon the county superintendents, but up to yesterday :at least two of the superintendents, those in Spartanburg and Lancaster, )had not sent in the needed ligures. But no effort is being spared to rget all the reports in the printer's hands so as to have them in the c hands of the legislators as early as ipossible. I The printer's rush hn. begun, atr there will be no let rip from now on until after the session is over. Gov. McSweeney has been getting , all those portions of his message that c did not have to await the coming of p the reports of other officers, ready, m and fine headway has boon made ona the message. It will not be a very long one. Gov. McSweeney proposes a to handle things in a purely business- ti like manner. Of course none can tell what legis- fi lation is to be proposed at this ses sion, but it goes without saying that v the usual flood of new bills will be-p gin at the outset and keep up for at ti least a fortnight. So far as known e ~the only new measures of moment will be the Appelt and Winkler dispen- o !sary bills. It is thought likely that a ~the redis'tricting measure will be pro- e ~posed again. b Both houses of the general assem- t ly have a great deal of work brought 6 over from last session for dispo- a aition this year, and each will find v plenty to do on the very first day if desired. 3IATTERS PENDINo IN TIIE SENATE.
