SJOK ON JOS, BIENNIAL SESSIONS BILL FOREDOOMED TO FAILURE?OTHER anu IZ11/CICSL Ill Luc mcoouic in UK seaside city is at fever heat. These bills are being watched especially in the light of the fact that the Legislators were the guests of the city of Charleston last Friday, when several speakers at the various social functions of that day referred to matters of local politics in Charleston and asked that the law-makers al ow Charleston to have the things she desired. A bill which has been introduced in the Senate, but which it is thought stands little chance of being passed into law, is that to j rovide biennial sessions of the Legislature. The bill was introduced by Senator Wharton, of Laurens, and one strong argument in its favor is that it would relieve the State of great expense. The bill will br.ng on a fight before it is finally disposed of. A bill to prevent the manufacture nnrl ?a]p nf H^arettc-s in this State is now pending in the upper branch * of the General Assembly and it is expected that it will be disposed of in some way this term. The bill was introduced by Senator Rainsj^rd. An amendment has been of*Wred which substitutes for the bill **>ne to make it a misdemeanor for a person to smoke cigarettes, this being offered on the ground that the original bill will prevent the sale of manufactured cigarettes but will not prevent cigarette smoking. There is much opposition to the bill, though those favoring it arc equally strong. A bill is on the calendars of both Houses to create a State warehouse system, the bill allowing an appropriation of $2,:>0,000 for its establiwh MEASURES PROJECTED. Columbia, January 30: ?The past week has not been as busy for the Legislators as was week before last. but the coming" week promises to be full of interesting" enactments by both Houses. ? A resolution thaf will likely precipitate considerable debate is trial introduced concurrently in both Houses of the legislature to make the office of Commissi! rer of Agriculture, Commerce ami Industries elective by the Legislature instead of appointive by the Governor as at present. The office is now held by Mr E J Watson. There are several bills on the calendars of both Houses for this week which will bring forth debate lrvwrr+Utr WiuQtorl One nf these It 11^ IUJ OUU UVUWVI. _ is to prohibit book-making. betting, pool-selling and wager making. The bill has been introduced in botn Houses and there are many opposed and many favorable to it enactment. Still another bill that is to come up in the House at an early date is that to allow commission form of government for cities of popula:ion between nine and twenty thousand ag0petween fifty and one hundred thousand. The only city in the latter class in the State is Charleston ' - ? ? mnnnn ??A in tko ZU HE Shed Your Pack. Fill Yoi ?>v you that the (jlactia-.or Stalk Cutte uk1 think you would. Come here and i.

Many of]-: the Serial >rs are ?]?:?iwc i to the bill on the ground that the courses o o the ret! at the Slate Hospital for the ? Insane are deficient and that gradu- m ates from that institution are not on . an equal footing with other nurse- ^ graduates, and that the enactment ! of a law to this effect will not alter ' the case. Heated debate is bound ) to come before the passage of the ' bill. | s A bill that is of State-wide inter- j est and one that has aroused the interest of the Legislators, is that to : 3:?I .-v.,*, I | ' pruviue IIICUIUCM rAAiuiuauuuo v / a f students in public schools and col- I leges of the State. The bill will k probably be disposed of the last of I this week. | Several matters of interest have been enacted by the General Assembly during the past week, which A may be reviewed as follows: " The House last week accepted the ; report of its Judiciary committee ' that certain portions of the Governor's veto message on the "Libel T bill" be expunged from the House ! M | records. By a vote of 2d to 2 the 1 c I House decided to expunge the ob- i ! noxious parts of the message. How-, I ever, the House sustained the Gov-!.. . - . H j ernor s veto 01 tnis Din. ine vote ;! was 62 to 50 not to sustain the veto,!. in ' but this was not the two-thirds ma- j ^ ! jority required to over-ride a veto, I and the bill failed to become law. !, ; rn The bill to Rive the Governor the j power of appointing special Judges, i instead of the Chief Justice, was' I ' sj killed in the Senate, and the law as 61 to Judgeship appointments remains the same. It will not be many days before r' the appropriation bill for the coming year will be introduced in the House, and that will of course bring ( forth much discussion and argument, ni It is thought that the tax levy this ~~ year will necessarily be a little ti higher than that of last year, several a things co-operating to make the M1 State's expenses for 1912 higher ni than those for 1911. cc Both Houses of the Legislature tl are holding night sessions many fi nights of each week, and the amount M of business transacted during this it session will, it is thought, be some- M what in exceess of the average. A ir host of bills has been put through and hundreds are now on the cal- M enders for consideration. In many h< ways the present session will go o down in history as a record maker.
