REVIEW OF WORK ACCOMRLISHEI DURING THE RECENT SESSION. V Xo?Laws of a Revolntionarr Naturi Enacted Acts of Locannterest Passed. T le Cax>Uol, Columbia, S C, February '20: At l.JJO Saturday afternoon the General Assembly of 100"), adjourned sine die, and the members who remained to the end quickly dispersed to the four corners of the litate. Owing to the prevalencl^f grippe and kindred complains, the closing days revealed but a small attendance upon both houses. Really it seems that some jother season should be selected for the meeting of the issemhlv. The matter of health jught to receive some gonsid?ration, and the illness of mem>ers session after session is eally serious. I hardly think :he statement would be far vrong to say that the average llness during each session is lot far from fifteen to twentyive per cent of ail the m^m>ers. This assembly did nothing adical; passed very few gensral laws; and enacted no:h!ng if a revolutionary character, t was rather a killing than a :reating legislature. It seems :ontent to let the laws stand ls they are; and appeared reuctant to attempt ckanges ven where changes are deemed lecessary aud advisable. There were bil bills and resoitioas before the House and 22 before the Senate. Countng out duplicates and resoluions there were about live hunired distinct bills proposed. Of his number 193 bills ai\d resontions passed and will go upn the statute books, of the reminder many were killed outight, a number withdrawn and he rest continued till next ses law, with the approval of the Governor,it is a crime to seduce any woman under promise df ) marriage. This law, it is be- : lieved, will go far towards rem- ; edying an evil of our country s and will be the means of sav- ! ing a good many young women 1 from ruin. Tlie Act providing for the 1 i protection of birds, their nests < and young, which becomes law, is sweeping and should be stud- ( ied, heeded and enforced. It is * too lengthy to reproduce here. 1 It was thought that there c would be a lot of disperrsju-y i legislation by this assemj?y. 1 Well, there' was a loy of 1 legislation on this subject, but * nothing whatever of anything e like a definite nature was ac- r complished. Enemies of the law t had measures to weaken it; ' friends proposed bills to rem- s edy defects, all alike failed. ? The oritrinnl Rrire hill, which 0 passed the'Senate a year ago, c but was amended in the House, I passed the House this time, but a was killed in the other end of ^ the Capitol. fThe Raysor-Manning bill, which was intended to remedy " the defects in the law as ad- ^ ministered by the State Hoard, went through the 'Senate^ but . died in the . House. Only two acts effecting the dispensarj' ^ went through, to wit; one raising the pay of constables to S2.5Q^erday; the other pro- 1' viding that in case of death, resignation or removal of disr.^n penser, twenty days' notice of i^ the annointment of his sue- al cessor shall not be necessary. As already mentioned a commission was appointed to investigate the management of the State dispensary. This commission is made up as follows: Senators Blease, Hay and Christenssen; House; Fraser, Spivey,Lyon and Gaston. It is to ' be hoped that these men will go to the bottom and if there is anything wrong, that they will fearlessly and faithful1 tt oaal'' if mil orirl iIott if KafAro 'V IL VJL4'" ^^jeople^lLet^lii^matte^e^ $150.00 each and their consta- J bles $100.00 each; all other ^ magistrates- and constables iQ ?35.00 each.
