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a number withdrawn and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

$150.00 each and their consta- J

magistrates- and constables iQ
?35.00 each. The Sheriff may a
act as constable for the magis- H
trate at Kingstree and at ' i
salary as provided for his ? ,
stable.
These are, I believe, all the 4|
natters of special interest that
:an now be recalled. *
The* Williamsburg delegation 5

y alert to the interests of their J
