Columbia, February 17: ?If the . two Houses of the General Assemby expect to adjourn si ne die Friday evening, as the members say such is their determination,they must move with dispatch this week. The House 4-U-rx onnvrnriotinn Kill nrn. nas scut luc v^ituwivti K/u*f p*w viding for appropriations of more than $2,092,0C J,to the Senate,and it will shortly be disposed of for the , being by the upper body. It wf|rt>babie that some of the items wilibe vetoed by the Governor and a contest may be seen in the attempt to have the items remain in the bill, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. . ? Consideration of the appropriation ** bill was extended to some extent in rthe House. A number of items were stricken out and the bill changed from the form enjoyed when it reached the body from the hands of the Wavs and Means committee. [ Alter a long and at times excitf ing discussion by a vote of 71 to 32 the House refused to pay A W Todd for his plans and specifications for the State House. The debate was ; extended and at times ranged far afield. The appropriation for driveways and walks around the State House. $2,000,provided a like amount come from the city of Columbia, was also discussed and killed. No changes were made in the House in the items for appropriations to State colleges except that $2,500 was added to the Citadel appropriation to pay tne expenses of the officers and corps to go to Wash ington to attend the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson and to march in the parade. The bill carries an appropriation of $20,000 for the Uni versity of South Carolina with which to complete a new dormitory and $17,500 to complete its heating plant. Winthrop College is given $23,600 for building and equipping an industrial arts and science building. . 1 ~ Fn " He Hanfcec/t and, became < fn the Bus* Our successful business first money they earned chance arose they were : Many senior members oft members of that same f vpn with which to be I had in the business.

Mr Schroder of Charleston contended that the acquirement of a rifle range was necessary in order that the militia might continue to receive the appropriation from the national Government. .He said that the Adjutant General has found a suitable site for a rifle range about seven miles north of Columbia and had se- J * - ? AO A cured an option on sonif uov atics. j The range is necessary, too, ar- j gued Mr Schroder, for the Citadel: cadets. The item remains in the' bill. ' An effort made by Mr Baskins ! of Lee to increase the salary of I the Governor to $5,000 failed. As the Senate favored the bill introduced by Senator Carlisle giving Spartanburg county compulsory education, it is believed the genoral compulsory bill already passed by the House will be approved by the upper body and be sent to the Governor for his signature. There is much speculation as to whether or not Blease will veto the bill. It is believed that it will become a law over the veto if he refuse to sign it, r ? 1 ior mere nas utrni au uva nuviunuA sentiment in the House for its passage, although there is not a twothirds anti-Blease majority there. Most of the vetoes he applies will "stay put", for 41 votes to sustain a veto are sufficient, while well-posted ones say there are about 45 Bleaseites in the lower branch. The Judiciary committee of the Senate has reported on the TillmanBlease controversy and recommended that so much of the Governor's message as pertains to Legislative matters alone be printed in the journal and the portions referring to Tillmon onH fho nrpsn be OCIiatUI JLUllllOil uuu vwv stricken out. It recommends, further, that the Tillman letter in reply to the Governor be not printed. The Abney letter in reply to Senator Tillman's letter was also placed under the ban, so far as the Senate journal is concerned. The report was adopted on motion of Senator Christensen of Beaufort.

Senator Mauldin was a former Lieutenant Governor and for years was President pro tern of the Senate. Senator Green was long Sheriff of 11 ?wtoo r? Aorvtoin IViai IUUIU tuuuy anu VtflS a ia(;ioiii in the Confederate army. A feature of the work, or rather lack of work, of the Senate has been that the body has passed practically1 nothing of State-wide importance. J Many of the important measures are in the uncertain condition of "pending." Contested matter has been left for the last minute, while local bills have h?d the call. The McLaurin warehouse bill has been contin-1 ued until next session. It seems that the same fate awaits the bill introduced by Senator Nicholson to safe- ' guard the primary. Some members' take the position that the primary j machinery will not be needed until. after the session of 1914 and that it j is not necessary to take up the bill now. It would precipitate a protracted debate, and if it is passed it is said that the Governor would veto it. The author thinks the bill will provide the necessary protection to the primary, which, it has been predicted, will fall unless precautionary steps are taken before the next ^Jec- 1 tion. However, be it said to the credit 1 of the Senate, it passed the Sinkler 1 bill providing for the transfer of 1 the property of the Medical College 1 of South Carolina and establishing 8. 1 State Medical College and appropri- ] I REWARD!

He was captured three /days before Lee's surrender at Appomattox and was taken to Point ^Lookout prison, where he remained three months. Finally, he was paroled and allowed to come home. There he stayed until December, 1865, when he came to South Carolina and began working in the turpentine business. At that time he made St Stephens his home. Two years later he moved his business to Cowards Turnout, S C. Here he was married to Miss Susan M Richburg on December 27, 1869. One year later Mr and Mrs Lawrence moved to a farm three miles north of Greelyville where they have since resided. In September last Mr Lawrence was stricken with nephritis. It seemed to gain a stronger hold on him each day until February 6, when his condition became more serious. He died on Tuesday morning, February 11, at 4 o'clock. His remains were brought to Greelyville, where he was laid to rest on February 12, 1913, at 3 p. m.,in the Richburg burying ground near his nome.
