COLUMBIA LETTER. Columbia. S. C.. Jan. 15. Promptly at 12 o'clock on Tuesday both branches of the General Assembly were called to order, the Senate by Lieutent Gov erner Tillman, and the louse by Clerk T. C. lamer. In the House practically the whole of the first day's session was taken up in organizing and getting ready for busi ness. Speaker Stevenson having been a candidate for Attorney General in the last campaign is not a member of the present 1louse, and the election of a new speaker was necessary. There were only two candidates, Mr. M1. L. Smith, of Kershiaw, and Mr. T. Y. Williams, of Lancaster. Mr. Smith received 9S votes and Mr. Williams 21. Mr. Ilamer was re-elected clerk wit hout opposit ion. and Mr. .1. S. Wilson of I,an caster, sergeant-at-arms, and M r. .1. S. Withers, of Chester, reading ierk. In the Senate very little time waas consumed in the election of oflicers. The old oileers had no opposition, and Senator Sheppard, of ldgetield, was me-elected president pro ten, M r. Stewart reading clerk and Mr. .1. Fred Schumpert sergeant-at -arms. lr. lar by, of Columbia, was chosen chaplain. The annual message of the Governor was presented and read in both houses. immediately after the reading of a special executive message anouncing the death of Chief Justice Melver, which occurred at his home in Cheraw on Molday afternoon, each house ad jour'ned as a testimnolnial of respect to the memoiry of t he late (Chief .1 ust ice. A child labor bill was introtluced in the Senate on Wednesday by Senator Marshall. 'lhe main provisiots of the bill are that after May 1. 191:, no child under 10 years of age shall be em ployed in any factory; after \lay 1, 1-l90., no child under the age of II. and after MIay 1. 1905. no child under 12 years of age. That after May 1, 1903, no child under 12 shall be permitted to work bet ween ie hours of 8 p. in. and 6 a. m., except to make up for loss of time owing to accident. I'rovided, that children of widowed mothers or totally disabled fatihers, or children de pendent upon their own labor for a liv ing may be employed. Several other lBills of minor impcrtance were also in troduced. 'I'he Senate received a message from the Governor vetoeing the Bill passed at the last session instructing the State Treasurer to write off his books certain bonds known as t he "I ,and Bonds. " ' The matter was referred to the finance committee. A speeal executive mtes sage was also received recommending that at soiime t imiie dllurling t ihe session suit - able exercises conmnmemorat ive of t lie li fe and services of the lamented Wade Hlampton be held. The (ov. anounced that he had invited General M C. 1 But - ler to deliver an address before the General Assembly on the occasion of these miemor-ial exercises anid t hat Gen - cral lButlecr had accep)ted. C.onniiitt ees firom both houses wvere apploinited to take in charge the arrangements for lie exercises and it is probable that a lay early in the session will be lixed.

Governor hI1eSweene 's last annual message, which was presentel to the General Assembly on Tuesda was given to our readers in a special etlit ion of The Hlerald and News issued early 'ueslay afternoon. On all the import:ant questions now before the people of South Carolina for con1sitleration and decisioi the Govte nor takes a decided and iumist ukable position. lie stands stuarely for what he believes to b. foi the best interests of the State and the material advance ment and the ment al and moral up lifting of all the people. In the first instance the Gov. notes with gratitica tion "tlhe goodl feeling which prevails throughout the State. and the absenc"e of factional bitterness which at one time divitded our people."' This is em inent ly tirue, anti to this very tdesirable tend, Governor MeSwveeney tduring his adiminist rat ion of near-ly four years, has veryv lairgely cont ribut ed. Th'le Democrat ie party in Sonuth Carolina once more presents a solid front, nor are t her-e any fact ional biceerings in the r-anks. No longer is a man choseni for oflice beecause he happens to belong to a tdominaut fact ion. Once again the nmeritsa of the man anti the c'auses which he champions aire t aken into consider-a tion atnd make the decision which is rendleretd at the ballot box.- It has been less than a decade when such was not the case, but, as notedl by the Gov' ernor-, the wountds then made havec largely healed anti now in the Demo cr-at ic ranks theire is but one party, and that par-ty is wor-king for the ad vancement of Sout h Carolina. The Governor- calls attention to the fact that the St ate was forced to bor row the full amount of the $300,000 au thorized by the last legislatur~e, in or de'r to meet cur-rent expenses. T1his was made' incessar-y on account of the fact that theit appiropiriation bill cai-ried wvith it more than was irealizetd by the levy foi- State putrposes. 'The Gover no' suggestion that the appropriatlins be kept within the( limit allowetd by t.he levy oi- that the levy be i-aised to meet the app)ropiattions, is timely and wvise, Therec is nothing to be gained antd a di rect loss incurriedl, by the State's co~n tininiig to biorrow imoney to meet ('u i-cut expenses. The plan foir equalizting the assess menit tof p)rop)erty for the piurposes of taxat ion set. forth in the last message is again pr-esentedh. That. the Ciounty Auditor shall take retur-ns in each towniship while present in t he township, andl t hat he, wvith the tow~nshipl bioard, wvhile present in the towvnship, be re qiiretd to aissess t he pr-opert.y. That the chairmetn of these towvnshipi boardts, wvhich boartds shall bie ainOitedl by the Audlitor-, shall constitute the county boar-d of etqutalization, wvhich shaill go oiver wvith the Auditor the re'turns for the county and( hear t'ompilainits and ap l)eals, thieiir tdecision to be subject to apipeail to the State Board.i T1hiat the Auditor shall not be aillowedt to go itto a primary but shall be appointed di r-ectly by the Goveirnor. The G;over-nor also strongly ur-ges that thie mandlate of the constitution be followed andl that priop)e:ty be assessed at its tirue v'alue, insteadl of at 60 or 75 oi- 80 per cent, as is nowv the case in di feett counties. In no other way wvill t axes bear evenly uploni all the people. A property tax is recommendled for the permanent impr)iovemelnt of the public highways. The plermanent im p)rovemlent of our roads ia by far the most important problem at present be fore the people of this State, and a property tax is its only solution. We earnestly hope the Governor's recom mendation in this matter will be fol lowed. There is no necessity to argue before t he people, of this county, at least, the advantages of good roads. We know the disadvantages of poor roads, and we know that good roads is now our most press:ng need. We must have them and the only way to get them is to tax all property and to build them. Governor MeSweeney reeonmends a compulsory eduieat ion law, and a plan in line with the teommendat.ions of State Snpel'intendenit of l;ducation Me Mahan for t he inpv ement of the com 1101) stlt\\s lie also recommends the p assag'e of a law prohibiting child la b\r in the mills. Those qeWstions are mntunattl c'onneettxe, inasimich as coin pulso\ leucation will solve the chill lav\r quest ion, and that > n anti-child ldlvr law\ w oald make compulsory txiii t on a nesst It is very generally admlittedl that child labor is iniurions to children of tender years. The ques tion is, would it be wise that the State interfere. or has the State the right to interfere. 'hose who oppose the meas ure claim that it would be an interfer elee with family government. In the words used by the Governot, ''this is a fallacy. The child is not a chattel or an accidem11. but it has rights in the di vinle. plan which even the parent must respect. It is here for a pai'pose, and should have the opportunity for the best possible training and eieation to lit it for the accomplishment of that purpose. Then, too, it is sometimes a question whether the State or the cor lporat ion shal1l say what is to be done with the chil. for many times the par ent who lives in 'he mill community must he ioverned by what the mill owner says. and cannot always send his child to school. even if he desires to do so, if the labor of the child is needed in t he mill.'' The Governor quotes sta tistics showing that the percent age .' child labor is ral'idly incteasing. Otht, States an d other counties have long since ret'ogniized the need of an anti child labor law, and have acted accord ingly. South Carolina needs a law pIrohibiting child labor in the mills. She needs it for the protection of her futlire citizenship, and the mills need it for their own piotection. And along with it we n,'ed a law compelling the at tedamee of children bet ween certain ages 1111on the conmmon schools. The tiovei'no' sees no i'eason for the creation of a loard of Pardons, inas much as the responsibility finally rests uo1n til Executives. Tlhe sale of the property up1)on which the executive mansion is uow located, anid t he putlrcliase of certain property belonging to the South Carolina Col lege and the erection of a new man sion is strongly urged. The plan as outlined, if followed would give the State a new executive mansion with out a cent of cost, besides placing the prloperty now used, u)on the tax books. No one)1 who has ever' seen the pres cnt mansion w'ill attempt to dispute the fact that SouthI Carolina neetds a new home for the chief excentive. Attentioni is called to-the great num ber oIf special courts now~ being de manded't and to the matter' of creating new judtic'ial circuits. No positive r'e co1'Imedation) is made, though it is stated, " thle argument seems to be stirongly in favor of an incirease in the number of circuits.'" Veiry little space in the message is givecn to a discussion of the dispensar'y lawv. The (dispenisary has become the fixed policy (of the State in dealing with the liquor t ralie, and the only consid erat ion now is the prioper'i enforcement of the law. All the dlepartments of the govern mnit and( the State instiltitions are re ceived, andt several other reconimenda tions made. Tlhe paper as a whole is a stronig one, and1( theit Governoir is corriect in his 1po sitions. Governor McSwveeney has pllaced himself on record as seekinig the advanicemnent. of his State along all linies and the best interests of hier peco pIle, and re(tir'es from ollice wvith the comisci ousniess of duty done. iIn te detat i of Chief dJustice Mc Iver, which occurred at his home in ('heraw 01n Moniday a ftermnoon, Sou tb Cairolina lost's one of her purie(st and most distiniguishied citiziens, and hem' most eminient jurlist .
