favor of its paseage.

^^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

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."
The report of the commission on

cussion which will probably come
up today or tomorrow here, will be
argued oue of the greatest questions
in the annals of "penal and
charitable institutions1' in Southern
and Northern institutions of this
character. 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.

Gubernatorial Aspirants.
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.
Dry Counties
There is much trouble iu windin
up the affairs of 14 of
the county dispensaries that were
voted out last August There is
stock on band that has not been dis- j
posed of as proposed by the last |
session's mandate.
