SOME MEASURES LIKELY
TO BECOME LAW.
MANY BILLS, BUT FEW WILL PASS
MATTERS OF GENERAL AND
LOCAL INTEREST.
The Capitol, Columbia. February
8:?On Saturday both houses of the
Assembly adjourned until Tuesday,
the House to 10 o'clock and the
Senate to 12:30 o'clock. Since botli
will adjourn on Tuesday at 2 o'clock
until Wednesday ^invitations to a
banquet Tuesday night were accepted
last week\ this means that
practically nothing will be done this
wo.*!.- v?ofi>rn WoilnpsiLiv s.ml nroba
bly not before Thursday, as the banquet
does not begin until 10 o'clock
Tuesday night and will probably
continue until some hour next morning,
whicli will leave those attending
in sorry shape to work Wednesday.
It is no?v being strongly talked
that final adjournment will be had
on the l*th inst. This can be accomplished
only by brushing practically
everything aside except the appropriation
and supply bills and
rushing these through. Had the
move been made early in the session,
eveiv thing that will be dona could
have been finished in three weeks by
cutting out the picnics and banquets
and getting down to work. Should
ouly the measures referred to be con
sidered, the State might be congratulated,
for.no legislation at all is
far better than some of the legislation
done by our Assembly. Perhaps
someday the people will realize
the-folly of annual lawmaking and
stop the changes in our statutes. If
the necessary changes were made
in a reasonable time it would be a
different matter.
Senator Carlisle's State-wide prohibition
bill ^was knocked senseless
in a few minutes in the Senate on
Wednesday night last. The bill was
called up and a motion immediately
made to lay it on the table, which
was carried by nearly two to one.
There was not a word of debate. A
quicker death is hardly imaginable.
Howeyer, the liquor matter may not
be settled yet, as the House on
Thursday passed another bill providing
for State-wide prohibition,
which will go to the Senate to be
acted upon. In fact it has already
il.it v v
jrone to mat uouy ana is now upon
the calendar, with an unfavorable
majority and a favorable minority
report.
A bill has passed the Senate and is
now before the House providing for
the winding up of the county dispensaries
in those counties which
voted out dispensaries last summer.
The substance of this measure is,
that the boards of control, within
sixty days after the approval of the
act, must turn oyer to the county

according to existing jaw, piace an
, property remaining unsold in the
hands of the county commissioners,
'receive $25 each for this work and
i then go otit of office. It is probable
that this measure will become a law
in a few more days.
; One of the most important propositions
before the Assembly is, how
! to improve conditions at the State
I Hospital for the Insane. Several suggestions
have been made,amoug them
I . .
a State bond issue of a million dol;
lars with which to buy land aud put
up new aud larger and more widely
I separated buildings, said million
dollars to be supplemented with the
(proceeds of tne property now on
i band, the sale of which is a part of
this suggestion. While this suggestion
kmeets with considerable favor
from a great many, and while all
who are conversant with the state of :
affairs at the asylum readily concede
that something must be done to aile? j
. I
viate the coudition ot the State s un-j
, fortunate, the bond issue is not at all!
likely to take dennite shape A tract,
1 of kind of some one thousand acres i
in the sand hills near Columbia will j
probably be bought and houses upon |
this built in which to take care of;
i tne tubercular patients, situated as;
far a.; practicable from the tubercu-!
lar department. To this tract will j,
:also be transferred a part of the!
! farm. There tne plant, relieved of |
! the congestion, which is the great- :
est evil now existiug, will be
! renovated, altered aud improved.
: These changes and improvements,
I which will put the hospital in
I position to take care of tho un- |
! fortnnates for rnanv years to come,
lean be made gradually 011 appropriations
of say $o,0<)0 a'
;year for three or four years. This!
is the idea which seems to meet with j
. . ... 1
most tavor ana it is tne one wnicn
i will probably be adopted.
The appropriation bill was intro!
duced in the House last Saturday.
: The amount asked for for the various
purposes exceeds the appropriations!
j of last year nearly one hundred and |
, fifty thousand dollars. This in-;
'crease is made up of $70,000 more
for the State hospital than in former
; yeais, $31,500 for the general elec!
tiou this fall, $35,O0O for new dorI
mitories tti the Citadel and $14,000
i to repair damages to the negro col|
lege by tire. It is believed that the
! incaease in the assessed value cf prop!
erty will easily meet this increase
| ia appropriations without any higher
'levy than last year.
Tlie hunters' license bill has:
passed second reading in the!
; Senate and is, along with the'
general fish and game bills, special J
j order in the House. These arei
j thought to b? among the few 1
general measures that are likely to I
i get through this session. 1 u general!

terms the license bill provides a
license of 50 cents annually to be
paid by each bunter, bu t does not
apply to a man or his children
huuting on his own land. Hunting
without the license is made a. misdemeanor,
and this license tax is to
be used to enforce the fish and
game law of the State.
Along this same line Mr Bryan i
has a bill in the House which in |
effect will repeal the law as to;
no fishing in Black river in Williamsburg
from June 15 to August
15. It provides that no fish shall
be caught in tin# stream except
with hook and line and forbids all
trapping, dynamiting, etc. It is
along the exact line of the general
fish bill now 011 the ^enate calendar
for third reading and which was
introduced by Senator Bass lest
year.
A bill has passed the Senate
amending the law which gives the
father power to dispose of the
custody and tuition of his minor
child by deed. The amendment re.
til/. AnilJdnf of thf mother
to make the deed valid. The Tillman
ease now before the Supreme
Court occasioned this measure.
The House bill reducing the
maximum rate of interest to seven
per cent does not appear to 1 e
meeting with the favor expected
by some and is not likely to become
a law.
Notwithstanding the fact that
there are hardly more than twentyfive
bills of real general and deserving
interest on the calendar of
either house, the total number of
bills exceeds the number introduced
last year, which produced
a record crop. This will give ail
idea of the vast quantities of local
measures and freak propositions.
Senator Gray Jon endeavored to
get through a bill requiring railroads
to pull mileage on trains,
but permitting them to charge 2Acents
for such mileage. An amendment
passed providing for the continuation
of the present mileage
system in ca3es where persons
were willing to suffer the inconvenience
of exchanging mileage for
tickets in order to save the ? cent.
It is hardly thought probable that
the final result will be any change
at all. There seenis to be a feeling
that this matter is in very good
shape as it stands.
The resolution to invite Senator
Bailey of Texas to address the Assembly
on the Federal income tax
measure met with strong opposition
and there were several votes
against extending the invitation.
As there seenis to be a misapprehension
throughout the State as to
the pay of members of the Legislature,
it may be of interest to call
attention to the fact that they are
not now paid by the day as formerly
but receive a stated amount and)

each member receives exactly the

The question of drainage, which i
is by far the most vital question to
that third of the State to which
our county belongs, is not mention- j
ed in the Assembly except by Col
Cosgrove, of the Charleston delegation,
and his remarks refer to'
that county only.

what was said by your scribe from j

Let me say in the outset 1 did not t
make any personal remarks. What I'
said as a tax-payer was meant to
show the need of biennial sessions of',
the Legislature, Mr Graham I consider
one of our best citizens and one .1
of my best friends. Far be it from j]
me to cast any rellection upon him. |l
