1THE SECOND WEEK OF 7;
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
k BUSY ONE IN THE SENATE?THE
HOUSE HAS DONE AND IS DOING NOTH j
1NG?IMPORTANT MEASURES. :
The Capitol, Columbia, January!)
25:?The second week of the As- i 1
sembly closed and the third opened , (
with the Senate breaking all its pre- I
viou9 records by being right down'1
at wook In good sober earnest, and {
keeping at it too. 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 '

The Pe

ret. That stage has been reached
by not a single proposition so ?far.
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

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

Senator Bass presented to the Senate
a petition, sent him from Scranton,
asking State- vide prohibition,which
petition was signed by something
over five hundred people. 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. All ginv
