MEASURES PASSED, OTHERS

Columbia, January 22, (Special):?
The present week of the sitting of
the General Assembly promises to
i be the most eventful of a session
that in its earliest days has seen
much work accomplished and the
Legislators down to business with
purpose. Several important things
are scheduled to come before the
law-makers this week and the at ?
* ^ O *-v, /\1 to /\*\A
vyiiv ux btiv iiiv/o v tiiwi muwters
to come before the House during
the coming week will be the report
of its Judiciary committee on
the Governor's message on the
"libel bill". The Governor sent a
long message to the House with his i
veto of the bill, the communication
containing a long tirade on the
press of the State and making severe
statements against some of the edi- '
tors in particular. The message, as
well as the bill, was referred to the
Judiciary committee and the committee
has recommended that parts
of the message be expunged from
the House records.
Last Friday a special train carried
jthe members to Cedar Springs, the
deaf and dumb school of the State,
in Spartanburg county, and the trip
was a most enjoyable event. The
trip next Friday to the Citadel, at
Charleston, another great State institution,
will be equally interesting
and beneficial.
Both Houses of the General Assembly
at an early darxj will be
stirred by a debate on the bill, introduced
in both Senate and House,
iiHispurre auuui cue ua^uui to cuic
of expectancy. The present session
has been a record maker in one
matter, which, though small, has
attracted considerable comment
among the Assembly members.
From the start the two Houses have
been hard at work and little time
has been wasted since convention.
Night sessions were held during the
first weeks, whereas it has been
customary in past years to hold no
night sessions until late in the
session.
Of the important measures that
are looked for this week is the report
of the "Blease" dispensary
winding-up commisision, appointed
by rhe present Governor to succeed
the Murray commission. The report
will be made at an early date
and of especial interest will it be in
the light of the recent passage of
the bill, over the veto of the Governor,
providing for an investigation
of the old commission. The
naming of the House members of
the investigation committee last
week completes the committee, the
personnel of which is now as folfollows:
Senate: Sullivan, Carlisle
and Clifton; House: Cary, Daniel,
W L and Evans, J J. This committe
is empowered under the new
law and will at an early date begin
the trial of the old commission
members, against whom grave
charges have been made by the
Chief Executive.

and this was reported unfavorably.
It was recommitted and reported to
the Senate for the second time this
year. The report was unfavorable
to its passage and the bill is now
pending in the Senate. The situation
is interesting, but it looks dark
for Colonel Watson, for it appears
that he will lose out, being at the
mercy either of the Legislative or of
the Executive Department of the
Government.
A concurrent resolution of considerable
interest that will be passed
upon by both Houses at an early
date and on which the committees
have reported favorably is that to
create a commission to erect for the
State Supreme Court a building to
cost $100,000. The State Capitol
at present is considerably crowded
and the erection of a new home for
the Supreme Court will be a means
of greatly increasing the accommodations
in the State house for the other
nffi AAA
A move made last week the General
Assembly that will be of interest
in every county of the State was
the killing in both Houses, by the
acceptance of the unfavorable committee
reports, of the bill to provide
for an investigation of the doings
of the State board of Educacation
as to the changes in school
books, against which such general
complaint has been made in the
past year. There was opposition to
the bill on the ground that no
charges had been preferred against
the board and no investigation was
therefore necessary.
R\r vnfu nf fHp ioint Asspmhlv of
both Houses of the General Assembly
last week Insurance Commissioner
McMaster was re-elected to
his office and Miss LaBorde was
re-elected State librarian.
From the result of several ballotings
in both Houses of the General
Assembly and of the joint Assembly
it would seem that the present administration
is not supported by the
Legislative branch of the Government.
By a vote of 36 to 3 the bill
to provide for an investigation of
the old dispensary commission was
passed in the Senate over the veto
of the Governor and in the House by
the vote of 104 to 0 What is known

to prevent book-making at races in
this State. The bill has been reported
favorably by the Judiciary
committee of each House and con
siderable interest hinges about tne
probable passage of the bill into
law.
Of interest in the Capital City is a
situation that has arisen over the
office of Commissioner of Agriculture,
Commerce and Industries. In
his annual message the Governor
intimated his desire that the office
of the Commissioner of Agriculture
be abolished, stating that it had accomplished
little in consideration of
the amount of money it was spending.

populations between 4,000 and 10,000,
and the House Judiciary committee
recommended that portions
of the Governor's veto message on
the "Libel bill", in which he said
harsh things about some of the
newspapers of the State and especially
about the editor of The Columbia
State, be expunged from the
records.
Only two bills have so far been
passed sustaining the Governor's
veto, that relating to the jury law,
and the "Libel bill." The bill as introduced
would make ministers of
the Gospel serve on juries.
