THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY WILL ADJOURN FRIDAY NEXT ___ A WHIRLWIND FINISH - THE ASYLUM SENSATION-MARRIAGE LICENSE BILL PASSED-LOCAL MATTERS. The Capitol, Columbia, February 14:?Both houses of the General Assembly last week adopted the joint resolution to adjourn on Friday, the 18th instant, at 12 o'clock noon, in all probability tne nana of the official clock will be pushed back again and agaiD, and adjournment will in reality be reached sometime during Saturday. By legal fiction a legislative day may extend over any number of physical days. Only a year or two ago the journals declared that adjournment was had at 11:55 Saturday night,notwithstanding the Assembly was actually iu session until 10 o'clock Sunday morning. All this may be puzzling to an outsider, but it is only one of the peculiar things in which our law abounds. After idling four weeks this spasm to get through and go home suddenly seized the Solons in the early part of the fifth week, and; now the work is being rushed with i almost feverish haste. With a I calendar of forty-three pages in the j House and thirty-two in the Senate, i a vast majority of the bills will die j where they are. So far as the bad < bills are concerned this is well enough, but this manner of getting j through kills the good bills along j with the bad. Saturday last the judiciary com-1 mittee of the Senate presented a i resolution calling upon Dr Bad-; cock, superintendent of the asylum, and the Board of Regents of that ininstitntion to send in their resig nation. This resolution was sign- j ed by eight members of the committee, while a vigorous protest was bauded in by three members, protesting that the action of the committee was hasty, ill-considered, and without giving a hearing to the officers referred to, and taken at a midnight session called without notice. The resolution is the sensation of this session, and its discussion is likely to be warm and may become even hysterical, for it is intimated that behind the action of the committee is some queer political jnggling. The proposition to submit to the voters the matter of issuing bonds to the amount oi a million dollars with which to bnild a new hospital for the insane, was voted down in the House overwhelmingly. Then the House passsd the bill authorizing the Board of Regents to purchase a tract of not more than twelve hundred acres near Columbia for the use of the asylum, and to pay not more than $25,t)00. for it. On this tract is to be built quarters for the negroes and also houses for tubercular patients, the two settlements to be entirely separate, however. The meeting of tde judiciary committee immediately followed this action of the House, at which meeting the resolution asking for the resignations above mentioned was adopted. Some seem to see connection between the two moves. Events will probably disclose it, if such be the case. The Senate, by a big majority, passed the bill requiring marriage license must lie obtained from the clerk of court and the fee to be paid is $1.00. The new high school measure passed the Senate Friday. Should the House concur in the action of the Senate, the law will be changed in the following particulars: the appropriation will be $G0,0()0. instead of $' ?<>,000; the population limitation will be removed; opening the fund tc more communities; a county may receive 0 instead of 5 per cent of the total fund; the eligibility of the school will be based upon the enrollment, and not on the average attendance; the number of pupils is raised to twenty-five, but high schools already established are not to be effected by this. Senator Bass'8 bill for the protection of game fish has passed the Senate aGd is now in tbe House* i This measure was introduced last ? winter, at which time the main fea- : tures of it were published in The Record. Though fought last ses- i sion, on its Gnal passage there was < not a dissenting vote. < Senator Montgomery's bill raising ] the amount which a director may ! borrow from hi9 bank from ten to < twenty per cent of the capital, went 1 through the upper House Friday. ( One of the few measures that have reached the final stage of ratification is the one creating a commission to revise the school laws of the State and recommend changes. The bill providing for the payment of the past due road claims of Williamsburg county was ratified last Satuiday. The only step remaining to be taken before this bill becomes a law, is for the Governor to sign it. It is siucerely hoped that this bill will not again be lost, as happened last year. Senator Smitlrs high license bill received one vote in the Senate and that was his own. Its death was ea9v, so easy. One other Senator would have supported it, but he was "paired." The act providing for the wind-I ing up of the dispensaries, includ- ^ ing tnose in Williamsburg, was ratified Saturday and sent to the Governor. Mr Graham's bill permitting ' each tax-payer paying special school ' tax to designate to what school his taxes shall go, was given second reading in the House Saturday. So also did Mr Bryan's bill as to . fishing in Black river pass second reading. As the second reading in the House is the time of peril for a , bill, the passing of this reading means that it will go through that House. U S Senator Bailey of Texas will address the joint Assembly tnis . evening on the Federal income tax ( amendment to the constitution of the United States. \ The delegation has completed the supply bill tor Williamsburg county. The leading features are 1 as follows, to wit: the tax levy is to remain the same; the salaries of all officers remain the same; pro- < visions are made for the payment of ] expenses incident to the dispensary and new county elections and advertising same; the sum of $750.00 is appropriated to the Confederate monument, payable upon the approval ot the design and location by ^ a commission composed of the following veterans: Dr W L Wallace, Dr I W Graham, Mr Jno S McCul% 1 1* xtr o j ||? cr n iOUgt), Air W o r>auuy auu air xi xx Kinder; officers are forbidden, under penalty, to make contracts in excess of funds and provision is , made for creating a fund which . would put the county eventually * upon a cash basis. W L B. A Safeguard to Children. ' ' Our two children of six and eight years have been since infancy subject to colds and croup. About three years ago I started to use Foley's Honey and Tar, and it ka3 never fsiled to prevent and cure these troubles. It is the only medicine I can get the children to take without a row." The above from WCOrnsteiu, Oreeu Bay, Wis, duplicates the experience of thousands of othor users of Foley'3 Honey and Tar. It cures coughs, colds and croup, and prevents bronchitis and pneumonia J D C Scott. ^ _ 1 Erratum (Received too late for last week's issue.] Columbia, February (.h?This cor- i spondent was in error last week in < stating that Mr Bryan had a bill relating to the changing of the line of the stock law exemption fence sonth of Black river, lie had talked 1 with the writer about such a bill and the impession had fixed itself in the writer's mind that he had presented such a measure. There was no disposition to do him an injustice. It was simply a wrong impression gained from talks about the matter.
