On the other i hand the House has done practically nothing and is slill at the same i business. This is a complete rever- { sal of the order of things which ob- 1 tainpd in the nast. For this Uni(|lie i state of affairs two reasons. may be } givem There are no "obstruction I ists" in the Senate. Even tnose, 1 who will not work themselves, dox . not trv to prevent others from work- i ing. In the Hcuse there are a gre.it i < many new members. ' Each one of : < these raw recruits imagines that he 1 is o^j*st importance, feels that he !) npast iutroduce sundry bills or the' i ^^^jtation will certainlv go to the dogs Ij ^and is sure that unless he "shoots I < off his mouth," wreck and ruin to'< the universe is inevitable.When these! fellows shall have gotten through i with their spectacular performances,! ] the House may attend to some busi- ; j ness., 1: L Senator Clifton's bill provides |< ^ for a commissioner to investigate our J i system of taxation and recomend < improvements. This subject is of I B vast importance, and it is hoped i that'the House will have the good j B sense to do as tne Senate has "done, i B pass this bill. Our cumbersome, I B dishohe^t and silly system of assess- j inc/property and levying taxes should . ^?*fCTthrowu aside for all time. i "^A bill passed the Senate Friday i making the penalty for assault with 2 intent to ravish, death, but permit- 2 ing a recommendation to mercy I which would leave it to the judge to i fix the sentence at from four years to life, and providing that the prosecntrix may testify in the presence of the judge, the accused, the solicitor and the stenographer and the testimony afterwards read over to ft the jury. This bill provoked much discussion, as many regarded the Tgasure a dangerous one. Sentiment, ^^ rowever, which with respect to cer^Vtain things is more powerful with us than sense, demanded the passage of an extreme measure to stop this ft class of assaults, ft Of course it will be understood ft that this writer is only endeavoring & to give an idea of the most lmport ant steps that are being undertaken. H Not a bill has passed both houses yet and hence there are no new laws ' I v NAf NVf VW '.V "xVT*> ;<?:x ?X oX o;- <; ox ?X o: -; ?X ?X ?X ?. s' ?X ??V^r y^IVH /M/v* <A~**\v?^\r* t G trade is increasing )CERY STORE. \YI e,Heinz Preserves, A] lies, Best Brand Toma liied Peas and Corn, (J ist Bacon.

An outlook of what may be done is t the only thing possible now. The upper House has voted to increase the Governor's salary to *4.000 from $3,000; State officers' From SI,900 to $2,250. This body bas also passed a resolution for the jreation of a commission to look into the necessitv and advisability of , building a new Governor's mansion ' ind a building for the supreme court ?ud those officers who have no offices. The House has a very important measure before it as to school taxation. This proposition, which comes. From Mr E M ltuckei, is to provide! For two funds, one for white schools! ind one for cdioivd schools. The' taxpayer is to indicate to which j fund his money is to go. In the case A afoieign corporation paying taxes in r|L> State, a South Carolinian be iesiginated as a director whose only Inty will be to indicate to which of these two funds the taves paid by It is corporation shall go. It will be ( readily appreciated that the real object of this bill is to secure the bulk i )f the school taxes for the white [ cliools. j Of course the railroads are receiving their full share of attempted i legislation. It will require an entire! datre of Tut: Record to give even ! in enumeration of all the bills' li rooted at these corporations. They range all the way from requiring dectric head-lights on locomotives to regulating the acceptance of mileige, and from requiring that all repairs shall be done in this State, to , revising freight rates aud classifica- , tions. However, there is too much Fairness among the members of the Assembly to pass anything that will ivork an undeserved hardship on the ( ? * 1 1 ailroads. isy tne way, now no you ; ( iccount for the fact that you can ilwavs and under all circumstances ( ind people who are ready and anx- j ous to jump on the railroads, but , ire silent as the tomb about express ] ;ompaniee and telegraph companies? ( There was a public hearing before :he two committees on the dispen* $ary last Thursday on the State-wide i prohibition bills. The hearing might, ] rery properly,be called a prohibi^on , ally. Many of the most prominent ( leaders of the "drys" in the State ittended and several strong address- j ? were made and numerous peti ;ion8, signed by hosts of people, presented. It is probable that the ight on the whiskey subject will be , 5egun the latter part of this week or . ;he first of next, and it promises to j je right warm. The opposing forces ire not "drys" and "wets," but j 'State-wide prohibitionists" and j 'local optionists."

Similar petitions have come in Irom all over the State. On last Thursday Justice Ira B Jones was elected Chief "Justice of the Supreme Court bv a vote of 00 to 65 for Justice Eugene B Gary. The latter is the senior m length of service and for that reason was thought by some to have the advantage. The selection of Justice Jones should not be construed as a reflection upon his senior, but Mr Jones was legarded by the majority to be most exactly fitted for the chief justiceship. Mr Gary is a hard worker, a good judge and a very useful man. The House expecfc to take up the lien law tomorrow, Tuesday. Further then this there is nothing new to add to what was said in this correspondence last week. A very important measure which went through the Senate/ last Friday was a bill strikiug all time limit out of the recording act,except as to chattel mortgagef,and reducing the time as to these from forty days to fifteen days, bhoifld this measure pass the House, further and fuller attention will be called to it, A committee of citizens residing in the liruiuton church neighborhood appeared before tiie Williamsburg and "Clarendon delegations one day last week asking, in a word, that Williamsburg appropriate money to help build a bridge Across Black river, in Clarendon county near the chorch above mentioned. Of course such a proposition was not eutertained for a moment seriously. The idea of one county spending the money of her tax payers in building a bridge in another county is not to be thought of. Senator Bass has introduced two ither bills on the subiectof fish, birds and game. He, in conjunction with others, is striving to get these matters in proper, thorough and jvstematic shape with the object of iccomplisbing,definite results. These measures of his are too numerous ind lengthy to even outline here, but later on when legislation upon them has taken definite shape, synopses will be given. On next Thursday there will be a bearing before the Williamsburg ielegation upon the 6tock law exjmptions in the Cedar Swamp and Bloomingvale sections. Some want the act -creating these exemptions repealed, while another party desires them continued. Senator Bass has in preparation a bill providing for the gathering, preservation and publication of cotton and tobacco statistics.
