P THE FORTY DAY
RECORD BROKEN

' BILLS PASSED MAINLY OF
LOCAL IMPORTANCE.
The Capitol, Columbia. February
23:?The Assembly of 1909
has broken the forty day record
previously maintained for ten
years- The limit was reached
last Saturday, when, according
?jf\ to precedent, adjournment ought
H to have been reached, but this
is the forty-third day and the
p end is not in sight yet. At the
beginning the Senate went to
work with the object of getting
through in thirty days, but the
House has upset all hopes and
intentions. For three weeks
that body did as near nothing
as it was possible to do: and
even when a pretense of being
in session twice a day was prac^

discussions that did no particle
;of good but lengthen the board
v bills Under our laws all bills
for raising revenue must originate
in the House; therefore the
all - important appropriations
and supply bills must start in
that body. These bills were
not sent to the Senate until last
Thursday. The committee reported
promptly and they were
on the calendar for second reading
Friday. Under the rule forbidding
second reading before
the printed bill has been on the
desks 24 hours unless by unani
mous consent, Senator Otts,
who declared it his inten^.tion
to force a vote on the
prohibition bill, by objecting,
prevented these bills from
receiving second reading in time
to adjourn Saturday. Hence it
"V^will be seen that the House in
, the first place and Senator Otts
in the second place caused this
prolonged session.
^ In another respect this legisHi
lature is unique and that is this:
H although more time has been
consumed, fewer measures of
HE general interest have been acted
upon than in a great many
9 yjrears. Matters which would
Hrhave been seriously considered
T by patriots and real statesmen
W^ have been ignored and the time
devoted to local matters and a
very few larger subjects which
are supposed to be of wide significance
for political purposes.
The many days given to debates
on the lien law and prohibition
was so much time absolutely
thrown away. These matters

, "all up-to-date."
The Pe
have been discussed so long that
there was no excuse for further
talk.
The bill repealing the merchant's
lien has passed both
houses and when signed by the
Governor will become the law.
This act will leave the landlord's
lien for advances and the
chattel mortgages just as they
are now. An effort was made
in the Senate to make invalid a
chattel mortgage executed before
ihe crop is up and grpwing,
so as to make effectual the repeal
ot ihe merchant's lien, but
this effort failed. The repeal
bill goes into effect January 1,
1910 and thereafter chattel
mortgages, with all their ad van.
tages to one side and disadvantages
to the other, can be used j
instead of liens.
The state wide prohibition j
bill passed the House last week ;
by a safe majority and is now ;
on the Senate calendar, and it
is largely a matter of conjecture
whether it will be considered or
not. That every every effort
possible will be made by the!
I prohibitionists to have it con-j
jsidered is certain, but it is -a j
| question- which side is in the j
I majority. The appropriation j
and supply bills may be taken .
up and passed and the liquor i
question pushed aside until next:

The bill requiring railroads to
take up mileage on trains passed
second reading in the Senate.
That part fixing the rate at

are exchangeable for tickets are

of 25 per cent. If this
bill passes, the mileage books j
may be withdrawn from sale1
arnd all, including the drummers I
who are asking for the measure, I
will be required to buy tickets.;
There was a decided feeling in I
the Senate that the mileage mat-1
ter should be let alone as it is.
The railroads have stood by the
bargain, and all are riding at 1J
cents except those who are wil

" All matters of local interest i
to tee people of Williamsburg
have either gone through or
have proceeded far enough to
be safe. The magistrates' law
is being changed by the addition
of a magistrate at Ilebron. As
soon as this change goes into
effect, the appointments for the
entire county will be made.
llotli branches of the Assembly
adjourned Saturday, the
Senate to Tuesday night and the
House to Wednesday night. Of i
course all our members went I
home, but must come back, how- j
ever much they regret the nec-i
essity for doing so.

celebration of any kind nor other
public observance of the birthday of i
the "greatest American."

their work, breaking land, clearing
trash, getting out manures and haul- j

unusual deficiency of colu up to this '
date, much apprehension that bad'

felt. Some are of different opinion
and declare their intention of proceeding
