Columbia, January 24 (Special):? r /Ibne-third of the constitutional time ? ^^iUofcted to the law-making departHBment of the State has been con^Hsumed, ami it can hardly be said |Hthat any material progress has ^Hbeen made over the astounding HHferord of the last session, which ^ was in certain respects a session 'nil of bitterness by reason of the V opening of "old sores" which, it was tboaght, were healed, ft The most momentous questions J that baye arisen in me preaeut session of the General Assembly have caused some of the most interesting debates known to Sonth Carolina r politics. House bill No 155, by Mr Hy?? drick, to amend Section 3005, Vol 1 of the Code, requiring that "crops ; mast be np and growing to make & mortgage on same valid," called f forth able debate, in which the Williamsburg delegation voted with > the majority, Senator Bass taking similar action in the Senate. i House Bill No 278, by Mr Irby of Laurens, seems to have been ? time wasted in the preparation ofa bill oonoerning the office of Agriculture, | Commerce and Labor, as provided H for at the last session. The bill ^iras] unfavorably reported. House Bill No. 330, by Mr Doar * of Georgetown, to provide "free' I . Ht r iKiwr, I 'KING ftUAI college, is here conferring with the powers lhat be. On House Bill No. 365, Mr Carey, one of the most astute j lawyers in the Piedmont section, j and a divider of the honors for the; Carey-Cothrau dispensary law, made one of his most eloquent appeals "for the regulation and practice in appeals in which the ] State is interested." Corporation Tax. There seems tc be quite a question as to "corporation taxes". The Attorney General in an opinion i rendered, says: "In the event that j the tax is not paid, 100 per centum shall be added thereto; and if still remaining unpaid after 30 days 1 then there "shall be an additional penalty of 50 per cen t."

There is a majority and minority report, and it is conceded that severe censure will be accorded those in high authority that will, at least, require the resignation of several high officials connected with this institution. New Counties There has been a strong and systematic fight on the proposition of new conuties, particularly Dillon and Kutledge proposed c? \nties. The House has pretty w. 1 disposed of the bill on the Dillon county matter. There are now two or more measures pending affecting the future creation of new counties. One of these bills provides that the constitutional property qualification be increased to $5,000,<KX), and the other that the promoters of the new county shall bear the expenses preliminary to its formation. The present property qualification is $1,500,000. Clemson College. The present system of management of Clemson is the subject of much discussion at this time and it seems that the proposition or last year will of necessity, have to obtain, that of making the iu-] stitution one of State character,1 rather than what it now is under the will of Mr Clemson providing for life trustees with plenary power. joods for rThe Old Reliable Brand; 20 Per Cent.

Notably among the aspirants for Governor in the coming campaign is the Hon Richard I Manning of Sumter, who is now a life trustee of the Clem8on Agricultural and Mechanical Institute. This condition brings up a constitutional question, that of a citizen "boldI ing two offices of honor or trust," I with or without emolument. The other avowed candidates for the guberatorial chair in the coming campaigu are: Hon C C Featherstone, of Lanrens, who will stand on a prohibition platform, as he has done before. Hon Cole L Blease, of Newberry, wall reuew his efforts to reach j the much coveted goal. The Hon R S YVhaley, of Charleston, Speaker of the House of Representatives, will be in the race, as also will probably be Hon John G Richards of Kershaw and Hon W W Dixon of Fairfield. Legislative Sidelights. The charge is still made that, there is a degree of peonage practiced in Anderson county: and on this question there was strong discussion led by Messrs E M Bucker and S McGowau Simkins.
