Many Bills Await Solons’ Attention Before Adjourning The State, May 7. While there are probably thou sands of South Carolinians who will contend that the general assembly, now, it is hoped, about to adjourn for the summer, has not accom plished very much, citizens who have kept daily in touch with the legislature cannot deny but that the lawmakers have labored. The members have met morn ings, nights and occasionally in the afternoons, indeed, as W. P. Lewis, member from Horry said, “We have set up with South Carolina” often until late at night. Scores of Mils have been intro duced and some 450 have reached Governor Blackwood. On the sen ate calendar tor last Friday were 155 bills and resolutions; all of these awaited consideration. Some had been passed by the house arid sent over to the senate—others were measures introduced in the senate and not yet sent from that body to the house. On the house calendar last Friday there were 138 bills and resolutions—all awaiting attention. From these figures—450 bills sent to the governor for his signature; 155 bills on the senate calendar and 138 on the house calendar, it can be seen that the members have been turning out bills in volume. 4-H Club Girls Will Give Program Here On May 18th The 4-H Club Girls of McCor mick County will celebrate Rally Day with an evening’s program at the High School Auditorium on Thursday, May 18th, beginning at 8:30 o’clock.
