A BUSY WEEK IN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
PROHIBITION BILL KILLED-NEW SYSTEM
OF GOVERNMENT FOR WIL- j
LIAMSBURG COUNTY, ETC.
(Keeeived too lato forla-t wcckt.)
Thk Capitol,February 10,1908
Though only two weeks of the session
remains very few bills have pass
,eiU^n~ ,n hous- {
es and only about ten have been ratj|[edt
noue of which are of interest.
The bill to repeal the lien law has J
passed the House but no vote has J
beeu taken upon it in the Senate,
though it has received some attention
in that body. It is impossible
tp-say what will be the final outcome,
Both sides are strong and
appear about evenly matched and
are contesting every step .with the
same grim determination that - is
exhibited in the contest upon the
railroad rate bill. This latter measure
has been the subjet to receive
the most lengthy, energetic and intelligent
discussion heard npon the
floor af the Senate this session.
What will be the final fate of ibis
measure is entirely theoretical too.
Will r.wrtni/1 tiA fkttf af AAfi
liVC UIII iUUU ti.?> UVA V
general election it be submitted to
the voters wither or not the ^tafce
prohibition act sboold go into effect
on January 1, 1909, was killed in
the ben ate by a vote of 13 to 24,
Williamsburg's Senator being one of
the 13.
? The joint resolution calling upon
the Democratic State Convention to
aubmit the question of State prohibition
to the voters in the next primary
passed the Senate Friday afternoon
by one rote. The yofce
stood 17 to 17 aod Lieutenant-GovMcLeod
cast the deciding vote.
The Honse will, in all probability,
pass this resolution as that branch
has already put itself on record as
being vcy largely m favor of prohibition.
And it is the general
opinion all over ibe State, so far as
this correspondent (has heard (and,
he thinks be has beard from about
^*11 seotione) seems to be that, if the
people are permitted to vote on this
question, liquor will eertaiulv go
out of South Carolina? that is, the
sale by law will go. On all sides
yon hear this prediction: "Within
another twelve months this State:
will be dry."
The contract labor bill prepared
by the judiciary of the Senate and
which has passed that body seems
to be the proposition on this very
live subject which is most likely to
become law. On this line were a
score or more bilh, but most of
V them have been brushed aside, some
because impracticable, some because
Hfibcnstitutional. The one mention*
ed after careful study and debate
appears to be practicable and a? efficient
as it it possible to make the
measure without violating the constitution.
However, whatever bill
on this snbject passes wili tbe given
in detail in a future letter.
Efforts are being made to create
two more judicial circuits, making
twelve in all. It has been only two
?" m?\aa ? U A t\<? mkoi> man raion/)
yms WUViC iut tiaiuuci nw iiugvu
from eight to ten. Where will this
stop?
Two very important measures upon
the subject of insurance seem
likely to become enacted. One,
which relates solely to domestic companies,
has for its object the same
controland publicity and security as
are required of foreign companies:
the other, which cannot be recited
in a letter, will?in a word?prevent
companies from avoiding settlement
on technical grounds in the
absence of fraud or increase in the
hazard.

taking of judgment at Chambers in
cases of defanlt, will facilitate very
" jaL^h the collection of certain debts
a^jffonld be placed upon the statute
book.
Senator Bass has getton through
the body of which he is a member
a bill to continue the reindexing of
the records of the clerk's office and
to reindex the records of the probate
judge's office.
The delegation has a bill providf
ing for an entirely new system of
government for Williamsburg counk
r
ty. The measure is the joint work
of the senator and the representatives
who got together and advanced
ideas and discussed the situation until
they believe they have reached
conclusions that will work for the
good of the entire county. The bill (
is a very lengthy one, but it it pass- i
es its substance at least will be pub-; t
lished, as it is a subject of vast importance
to our county. I
Messrs Kellalmn and Gause, being j
the young and active members of the,
delegation, went on the trip to
Charleston Saturday, while Messrs!
Bryan and Bass spent the little vacation
at their respective homes. |
Mr Major, one of the representa-j
ivts, died Thursday last. Only a
mouth or two ago he was elected to
succeed Mr Epting who died in the
fall. Mr Major died of pnuetnonia.
This makes the fourth death in the .
Assembly in a year. Unless the j
time of meeting be changed, the \
State will lose the service of several j
good men. The sacrifice is too j
great to ask. He who accepts el ection
to the Assembly uot only injures
his business, if h# has any, but
works for nothing aud takes his life
in his own hands in spending six
weeks in Jauuary aud February in
the State Capitol. Even patriotism
has its limits.

nle we th'nb that our friends will
iud that n< v counties do not fulfill
:he promis of their promoters.
IVe all rei mber that for years
Florence county, the infant, struggled
against an adverse fate, county
claims were discounted and taxes
high and little accomplished by the
government of the county and that i
has been the experience of most, if
aot all, of the new counties. Peo.
pie mast remember that they stand
?ven leas chance of getting what
they want wheu they go into a new
coukity than if they stayed in an otd
ane. The new coanty never can do
ill that is expected of it. Florence
is the most prosperous connty in the
State now, but it became so by hard
work and excellent management of
rare oflScia)s,sach as, Messrs McTag

Mr Trailer and others on the board,

We have been fortunate. There are
many things to think?j>? before oee
makes a move like this, leaving a
county eo well fixed and shouldering
a debt for improvements that do not
concern them,as is generally done,?
FlortHcf Times.
A new county would be a mighty
good thing if there were not so many

ilidn't saw. When the old man came
home lie said to Esau.
"Esau, did jou saw the wood?"
Esau said: "I saw the wood, but I
saw the saw and saw I couldn't saw
it with that saw aud I didn't saw it.''
The old man went out to see the
Baw, and when he saw the saw be saw
that Esau couldn't saw with that
saw. When Esau saw that the old
man saw that he couldr't saw with
the saw Esau picked up the axe an d
chopped up the wood and made a
see-saw.
The next day the old man went
to town and bought a hew buck saw
for Esao Buck, aud when he came
borne he hang the buck-saw for
Esau Buck on trie saw-buck by the
see-saw.
Jnst at that time Esau Buck saw
