The Senate speedily organized and 1 got to work, but the organization of | | the House required more time. Mendel L Smith of Camden, twice [ elected Speaker of the House un-! opposed, must appoint a chairman J of the Ways and Means committee, as Lowndes J Browning of Union did not offer for re-election to the House from his county.

The announcement has been made that Pink Caskey.a magistrate from Lancaster county,will administer the oath fo Blease. The ceremonies will be held in the hall of the House of Representatives. A number of important bills will be introduced in the opening days of the sitting. One of the most interesting, and one that is sure to provoke a fight, is Senator Hall's compulsory education bill. The Cherokee Solon has said that he will wage an active and persistent fight for the proposed measure. The Governor has announced that he will veto any compulsory education bill that the Legislature may pass. A liquor measure of some kind will be proposed.

F R McMaster.the Slate Insurance Commissioner, would introduce the State of South Carolina into the insurance business. In this he provides for the State a system of insurance as used in Wisconsin. State officials have completed their annual reports, and these contain many recommendations. Among these, suggestions from E J Watson, Commissioner of Agriculture, Commerce and Industry, are important i as regards labor conditions in the State. An interesting figure in the Sen- I ate will be John L McLaurin,former < United States Senator. McLaurin was elected, without opposition, to ' succeed the late Senator Green of < Marlboro.
