THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY \ IN THROES OF ELECTIONS. NO BILL PASSED YET-WILLIAMSBURG STOCK LAW HEARING-DEATH OF t" REPRESENTATIVE CLARKE. The Capitol, Columbia. February | ~ " "* t- ?!iL ! I . 11:?J. ne iourtn wees opens wuu iue j I General Assembly in the throes of j ft an election parallel in one respect to the election held last March when 8 u week was spent in electing a United States Senator. At this writing it seems to be a genuine deadlock, with relief nowhere in sight. The ballots' ing for an associate justice of the < V supreme court to succeed lion Ira B Jones, who was elevated to the chief justiceship last week, began Wednes-1 day with five candidates, Judges R V C Watts, Geo W Gage and I) E 1 I vdrick and Hons T P Cothran and J j. | 'J Sheppard, all excellent men and I good lawyers. Ten ballots have been ?^wl *?olotira rvAoi firm a ro. K IUACII ailUvlIJU in?n iv |/voinvuv ?v . K maiu practically the same as on the ft first. Not a man received one-half H of the votes necessary to elect. The combined strength of the two highest fell short of the required majority, i | There have been a few individual j changes, but the general result re-i mains unchanged. Ju3ge Watts is i I the favorite of a majority of the members who come from the Pee Dee sectiou. Very nearly everyone from tbis locality who does not vote for him castS his ballot for that most estimable membe.i of the circuit bench, Judge Gage. Unless there should be a break, there is 110 telling when a result will be reached. The Senate has passed a bill which I makes recovery in mental anguish I cases possible to the third degree of relationship without*notice to the 9 telegraph companies. The vast im9 portance of this measure will be read9 ily appreciated by the lawyers, e3pecS ially those who have had cases under H the law as it now stands. 9 Senator Weston's bill making the fif burning of a house to secure the in surance thereon a felony is a wise H measure and should become law. m This will be the case if the House I takes the same view as tbac already M taken by the Senate. H By a large majority the House has passed the bill to repeal the lien law. B^Hffis impossible to conjecture the HjjVcouise which the Senate will take,as [^9 the measure has not yet received aily consideration by that body. I It is more than likely that the "immigration" feature will be stricken out of the department of "agriculture,immigration and commerce", and that this department will be continued as a department of agriculture, industries and commerce. <*s-\ >A^NM*S-V;NA' s.vfN.^Nv ixo^o^so.so^oxo^o^oxo^or.'.o; ;o:<o>^ ^*YS? ^%-N. * \T</-V^ rVS* V* ^Vi/VS^VW G trade is increasing DCEIIY STOKE.

The amount of really necessary legislation is small. In fact,the State could get along all right without any legislation at all oftencr than every two or three years. The feeling that we change our laws entirely too often i seems to be growing. There is a de- j maud for rest from these annual revolutions in our statutes. The! remedy lies in biennial sessions of the Assembly instead ot annual. And itj might not be a bad idea to requite i all bills,except annual appropriation! bills, to lie over a year or two before; action ' e taken. This would give; time for thought and thorough dis-1 cussion. We are having entirely too much hasty, ill considered, experimental legislation, and the people j are getting tired of it. This is the fourth week of the session and yet not a single bill has passed both Houses. This is most1 unusual. The present week will be devoted largely to the election of one associate justice, four circuit judges, f.oiv UiroMnra nf fr.hp Sfafcft nenitent AV"4 ?**VWVV4V gr J iary aud some trustees. If the As-1 sembly remain in session until all j bills are passed upon, this session^ instead of being shorter than former j ones as was hoped, will probably j wini up some time the latter part of j March or April. There was a hearing before the Williamsburg delegation last Thursday about the two stock law exemptions in th$ Boggy Swamp aud Cedar Swamp sections. Certain citizens wish the acts creating these exemptions repealed, while others want matters to be let alone as they are. An understanding was reached that an act be passed submitting the matter to the land owners of the territory ?ffe/>te<] mid leave the Question to I their settlement. The parties interested in the matter were represent^ ct the h?srttrg-by Mr LeKoy Lee for those wishing repeal and Mr L W Gilland for the "stand patters."' Both houses adjourned from Friday to Tuesday night and all the members went home for the welcome holiday. Representative Fred A Clarke of Florence died Monday night.

U ? tl All Requests by Congressman Ellerbe c for Surveys Agreed to by Committee- e Washington, January 30: ?It is understood upon reliable au- c thority that the ilouse commit- s tee on rivers and harbors has e agreed to all the requests made u by Representative Ellerbe, ot n that committee, for surveys of n rivers in South Carolina, and q that when the bill is formally o reported during the coming iT week provision will be nude for e properly taking care of all the f South .Carolina districts that tl asked for these surveys. ' t Taking the State by districts, \\ provision is made for At r Legare d oy granting a survey 01 uooper v river. Just what'this will mean for Charleston is already well s known to the people of that t place. b A short time ago Mayor Rhett t was. here, and went over the s matter carefully with Mr Eller- r be, with the result that upon re- e quest of the latter the item was b placed in the bill. Nothing was asked for in the 2d, 3d or 4th districts. The 5th t district will have survey of the . V Wateree and the Great Pee Dee,! the latter being in both the 5th and Oth districts. The Gth dis- Q trict will get surveys tor the!,, ra J | \ Great Pee Dee, Little Pee Dee.; ^ Black river, Santee, Lynch's riv-1 er and Clark and Waverly1 ^ creeks. j t In the 7th district there will j be a survey of the Con^aree, the ~ only survey asked by Mr Lever.

(>r many years, and the success tiat Mr Ellerbe has had in seuring them speaks well for his fficiency and worth. It is interesting- to note in th^te onnection that when a bill of uch a character is under considration there are often times rhen a member could secure lore for his own district were it ot for the fact that he is freuently called upon to take care f the other districts in his State, 'his is the situation in the pres-j ntcase. Mr Ellerbe has given! reely of his time,energy and inuence to help the other dis- j ricts. His real value, therefore,' 'ill be felt not only in his own Knf in Till frlitt I tell. During the early clays of the i ession Mr Kllerbe asked all of he other South Carolina mem-1 ters in Congress to name evyryhing they wantecf in the way of urveys. They did so, and every equest that he made of the rivrs and harbors committee has teen granted. Mingo Creek to be Surveyed.

Representative Bryan's Speech. By a vote of 85 to 35 last Fri day the House of Representatives passed to third reading (which virtually means its passage) the bill to repeal the lien law. One of the most active supporters of the bill was Hon \V D Bryan of this county, of whose speech on the question the News and Courier correspondent gives the following synopsis: ' Mr W I) Bryan of Williamsburg made his lirst speech. He talks well, clearly and in a business manner. He said if the lien law were repealed there would be no great change in a few years. lie wanted the lien business abandoned, because he wants his people made more independent and made to think and hustle. The lien law makes the people too dependent. The cotton growers have been try ing to organize for the past live years. Their organization was pure and upright. Every etTorl was made to help the farmers, That organization became sc j great and powerful that it haci i Wall street on the run. lie said i he had heard that Wall streel ! had tried to buy up farms tc ! tight the farmers' organization j lie said from live to seven mil, lion bales of the crop of 11)01 I was engaged at ten cents. Tin j lien jaw paralyzed the farmers work and eventually killed it | He spoke feelingly of the deatl: of the Farmers' association because he was president of the association in his county. He had his entire farm rented oul and was relieved from anj and all responsibility. Nothing came ahead of his rent money.' j It is now up to the Senate tc say whether or not the will oi the people will again be thwarted. DEATH OF MB. W. W.

Mr W W Eaddy, who was stricken with aooolexv on last Wednesday afternoon, January 27, died Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at his residence on the corner of Broad and High, market sr.reets, this city, his father and mother beiDg at his bedside when he breathed his last. Mr Eaddy was a young man about 34 years of age,large4'and healthy, it seemed, in every respect,and our city has sustained a loss in the death of so prominent a business man.
