It was precipitated by j the receipt of a message from the J ( Governor concerning the meetings!) of the special committee to investi- s f gff*%<3oe acts of the Winding Up com- j ' "msw&flTof the dispensary, the Attor- i ney General, the Governor and oth-' ' arc In tKo crucial mPSSflffP is aD- 1 penned the speech of the Governor i ^ made^at Chester in which he criticizes the acts of the members and testimony of the witnesses. The BJ&essage was characteristic. PT Representative George R Rembert S^Bpffered it motion to receive the meslinage as information and print it in 9Bbe journal. This provoked an objecnHbn from Mr Nicholson. The Repre. j^^seirtatiyc from Greenwood took the I ^ position that the report of the invesr tigating committee had not been re I ceivea Alia mat a message xruiu uic Governor concerning the acts and doiugB of the committee was premature. Mr Nicholson's remarks brought on a colloquy with Mr Rem? beft in which other members joined. \ Finally the consideration was post* poned until the report of the com' mittee is received. The second day of the session saw another message from the Governor I giving his speeches made before the Governor's conference in Richmond and speaking in strong language of editorials written following the speeches there and paying his re spects to newspapers generally. This was received by the House as information and printed in the journal.

Columbia, January 20:?With one veek of the Legislature of 1913 Krcu-n intn the discard, the feature >f the first four sessions has been ;he tranquil atmosphere that has >een the prevailing note. While it vas hardly expected that the two 'actions that are sure to clash, soon?r or later, would "go to the mat" is soon as they reached Columbia, nany believed there would be skirnishing during the first week, and ;ome thought, or said they did, that :he "row" of last session would be ;aken up just where it was left off. Such has not been the case. With :he exception of a slight discussion n the House as to whether or not a Blease message should be printed in :he journal there has been no sign ot i scrap. There is no chance to see how the two Houses size up, for no test vote has come to show where the dividing line is between "Bleaseites" and 'anti-Bleaseites." Both claims are leard and it may be that opponents >f the administration have a bare majority but not the necessary two:hir is to over-ride a veto. With the tranquillity feature conn'dered, the messages from the Gov;rncr in which he used some charac :eris tic language kept the members iwa<e, although no great stir was caused in either body by their re:eip:.
