WHAT THE LEGISLATURE IS DOING
AT THE PRESENT SESSION.
Various Matters of More or Less In- i
terest Discussed by One Who Is ,
On the Scene. ,
Columbia, Jan. 29. 1
Columbia, rainy and lreezing, i
is quite different from Columbia
bridit and sunshiny, as lias been :
nnifp tnrvililv rlpmonsfratp<1 dnr-' 1
lug ihe past few days. On Saturday
afternoon it began to snow,
and bv nightfall the groand began
' i
to get whitened. Sunday was
cloudy and disagreeable, though <
most of the snow melted. To-day, ,
however, the sun burst through
the clouds with all its pristine-,
splendor., and Columbia ov.ce more (
is bright and beautifnl. i {
The past week has been a bursy (
one in both bouse.^ though little
has been done except to kill bills ,
which a majority consider unwise. |
As the lawyers do most of the; (
talking, the rest of the legisla-ji
ture is not unlike a jury., save (
that sometimes a juryman unex- j
peetedly gets up and out-argues (
the lawyer. j
Sonii ot the defeated measures j
last week died hard, and the argument
brought forth brilliant .
oratory on both sides, as was the ,
case when the Moss bill came up ,
to increase the number of judicial .
circuits to ten. (
The tilt t-etwcen Josh Ashley
and Bolts, the cegro member Irom
Georgetown, last Thursday caused (
much amusement in the house. |
A bill had been introduced to prevent
the shipping of shad out ol ,
ihe State. The negro attempted
to speak against the bill, and
Josh, to have some fun, tried to i
confuse him by interrupting. The .
dusky champion of the fishermen i
more than held his own. however.
and lor one Mhe redoubtable Josh (
was beaten at his own game.
Over three hundred bills have .
been introduced since the beginning
of the present session, and (
still they come. The vast ma- .
joritv of litem, however, will uever
appear on the statute books.
The writer had the pleasure last
Saturday ol dining with Uovernoi
McSweeney in company with several
senators and members of the
house. Senator Appelt and wife,
of Manning, were also present; and
also Miss Cooper, a niece of the
Secretary of State. It is neediess
to say that tlie day was delight- j
fully spent. Mrs. McSweeney is j
a charming hostess, and, by the
way, one of the handsomest ladies '
ol Columbia. I
For the information of their j
constituents we give the following
'home'' addresses oi the Williams
burg delegation: Senator A. 11.
Williams, 10 Greeniield Building; (
Messrs. J. S. Graham and S. W.
Gamble, }30G Main street; and C. ,
W. Wolfe, 1221 Flam street. Solicitor
John S. Wilson boards corner
Main and Lady streets. Both
he and Dr. Williams visited their
respective homes Saturday. They
will return, however, in time lor
?
%
to day's session, which begins at
12 o'clock,- noon.
Messrs. C. Lesesne, W. G. Canllev
and J. J. Eaddv have been
reappointed supervisors of Williamshnrg
county. A bill was introduced
to reduce the number to
>110, which was overwhelmingly
iefeated.
'l'he death of .Joseph E. Brockinton
was a shock to us all, coming
as it did so unexpectedly.
Everybody from Williamsburg
seemed to be saddened at the
news. C, W. Wolfe.
The Fertilizer Trust.
At a mass meeting of the farmers
of Greenwood last Saturday,
:he following resolutions present-.
?d by ex-Senator Gaines were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas the prices of fertilizers
ire being advanced arbitrarily
hrougfc the influence of a trust
\nd to an extent not justified by
lommercial con Jitions:
Resolved, 1. That we, the farners
61 Greenwood county, S. C.,;
lerebv ay peal to the fanners of
he state and the cotton state's to
(lold meetings at their respective
:ourt houses on the first Monday
n February, and that they pledge
themselves not to purchase lertilzers
at an advance exceeding 10;
percent over last year's prices.;
2. Thai we regard 10 ner cent.;
id vance in prices of fertilizers as j
much as the conditions justify, and!
ive advise farmers not to purchase
my fertilisers at more than 10 per
:ent. advance over last year's,
prices.
That all newspapers are request*d
to publish these resolutions and
lielp the farmers thwart the de-;
signs of the pernicious fertilizer!
