Columbia, January 26:?With over 1 1,300 new bills already having been introduced in both branches, the General Assembly began its third week of the 1914 session today. The i ronnnwanoH mnrninc at ! 11UU3C ltV,VU?tuvu v?i.M c -10 o'clock and immediately got ' down to work of its calendar. The Senate will reassemble tonight at 8 o'clock and tackle some of the many matcers before that body for disj posal. I With all of the elections disposed | of for this session?unless 3ome vacancies should occur by deaths or i resignations 01 new positions are j created?the Legislature should get | I much work disposed of this week, j It is thought that night sessions will begin this week and that both branches will meet day and night ! from now until the end of the term ! is reached. | The adoption by the Senate of the Stevenson House concurrent resolution providing for a sweeping investigation into the State Hospital for the Insane, its management and all ; bodies connected with it, came after a hard and bitter fight. The com1 mittee is expected to get organized . and begin taking testimony this week. There is a general disposition, gathered from talks heard on ~ i streets and in hotel lobbies as well p as around the Capitol, to turn on the light and make the investiga tion thorough. The " Votes for Women" appeared at this session. Senator Carlisle offered a proposed constitutional amendment in the Senate to submit ! to the people an amendment giving women the right to vote in all matters affecting the schools and per| milting them to hold the office of 'school trustee and notary public. Representative McMillan is willing to grant them full and equal suffrage rights with the men and he submitted a proposed constitutional nmenHmpnf nlnncr this line in the I House. With these entering wedges, the people generally expect to see this become a live issue in future campaigns in this State, for there is small probability of the General Assembly passing the proposals this I time and submitting them to the people of the State next year. Senator Carlisle would have the question of State-wide prohibition passed on by the people in a general election next November. He has m introduced the proposed referendum ? in the upper chamber. The fight on what is generally conJ ceded to be an issue which will play [ a prominent part in the next Democratic State convention began in the Senate last week when Senator Nicholson called up his bill which proposes to "tighten up" the priJ mary. He has offered amendments; utor TalK ^ ted and perfected by a practical fa ravagant to own a Cole.

I | looking to strengthening the meas, ure and explained it in a speech of considerable length. He proposes to have only the simplest of requirements, hut to allow for a complete new enrollment to begin five months prior to the first primary, and have i all club rolls closed thirty days before the election and a certified copy filed with the Clerk of Court in each county. Senator Nicholson made an impassioned plea for the protection of the honest ballot. This bill stands at the head of the third reading bills and will come up again this week. The warehouse bill is a special order order on the Senate side, Senator John L McLaurin having opened the debate on the measure last week. He says that he intends to push it through, if possible. ? ? >1 c Kepresentative tiayneswortn 01 Greenville got his bill,providing for the establishment of industrial schools in every county containing 2,000 mill population or over, to third reading after a hard fight. Representative Stanley, of Horry county, offered an amendment to the bill on Saturday providing for the industrial school in his county, whicn was established by Rev E 0 Watson, to go into this bill but debate on the amendment was postponed until today. Mr Haynesworth has the idea of establishing schools for vocational training with State aid and it is thought that he the nfh^p advocates of the' QllU WIIV VV..V. ?r- - - measure will fight th? ar. endment of Mr Stanley. The Sen8te passed the concurrent resolution previously adopted by the i House memorializing Congress to j : repeal the fifteenth amendment to ! the Federal constitution, which, in I effect, gives negroes the right of; suffrage. The Senate however trimmed the resolution of the preamble ! which was attached as it came from j the House and it now goes back to that body for concurrence or nonconcurrence in the amendment. The bill proposing to gradually increase the age limit for children working .in the mills to 13 years after January 1, 1915, and to 14 years after January 1, 1916, has received an unfavorable report from the majority of the Senate committee on Manufactures. A minority report with amendments, permitting the children between the ages of twelve and fourteen to work in the mills,provided they have a certificate from the county Superintendent of Education that they have attended the regular school term, was returned. The bill was introduced and is in charge of Senator Weston, of Richland county. Petitions from several mill operatives throughout ! the up-country poured in on both ; branches of the Legislature asking them not to raise the age limit. The local option compulsory education bill has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Dawson and in the House by Representative Harper. The bill gives to each county the right to decide whether or not they will have compulsory lo. 1 for IS rmer and great inventor. Cole Ph ve them at most any price that you the man who farms.

A similar measure was passed by the General Assembly at its last session, but was killed by the veto of Governor Blease, not enough votes being rallied to repass the measure over the veto. Interest in political circles was intensified by the smoker which Governor Blease gave to his friends in tVio Oonornl AccomKlu loaf iraoV of a local hotel. It is said that matters j of legislation were discussed and! also the necessity of organization in i each county. No public announcement was made of the smoker and j the Governor made no statement to the newspaper men concerning it. Amendments to the State constitution providing for the recall of Judges and the limiting of the pardoning power of the Governor by requiring a majority favorable report from the board of pardons bei fore favorable action can be grant} ed on a petition for clemency, have i been introduced and are now before! committees. The bill prohibiting white people from teaching in negro schools will probably be called up in the House this week. A message from Governor Blease calling attention to white people teaching in some negro schools was received by the Senate on Friday night and by the House on Saturday morning. The House ; referred the message to its committee on Education. The Ways and Means committee has begun work on making up the appropriation bill. Requests for ' for appropriations aggregating more ; than $2,500,000 were received. I W F Caldwell. Hints from Helneroann.

Programme for Field Day Exercises Discussed. Despite the inclemency of the weather quite a number of teachers from the country attended the regular meeting of the County Teachers' association at the Kingstree mgn scnooi last satura&y. During the course of the meeting a tentative programme for the annual Field Day exercises was formulated and discussed. It was agreed to hold this meeting some time in March, so that as many schools as t possible could participate in the exercises. Each teacher pledged his or her earnest endeavors to make the day a success. In addition to the regular athletic events and declamation and recitation contests, exhibits of manual training work and domestic art and science taught in the schools will ; be on display. Each teacher in the county was urged to enter contestants, and it is planned to have a mammoth parade, composed cf every white child in the county on that day. Mrs J S Jennings Entertains. The loveliest social affair of the season was the reception with wljich Mrs John Slater Jennings V honored her house-guest, Mrs William Reddie of Easton. Md, Thurs day afternoon. The guests were met by little Miss Serena Lee and ushered into ' the reception hall, where Mrs Jennings, Mrs Reddie, Mrs E M Evans of Newberry and Mrs J W Swittenberg stood to receive them. The hall was simply but artistically decorated with ferns. From the hall the guests were invited into the dining-room, where they were received by Misses Agness Erckmann and Maude Logan. This room was exquisite in its decorations of violets and wistaria. Mesdames LeRoy Lap and W C Claiborne poured coffee at a perfectly appointed table. A delicious salad course was served by Misses Rubie Thorn and Georgia M^ill The guests were each given a Prophecy for 1914,tied with a bunch of violets and lavender ribbon, as a souvenir, before being invited into the living room, where the color scheme of lavender and green was further carried out by the lavish use of bamboo and wistaria. In this room punch was served hy Miss Ada Brockington. Misses Selma Thorn and Elma Hinds added to the pleasure of the occcasion with lovely vocal and instrumental music. A number of ladies called during the afternoon. v e! ; 'I THE STORY! you'll be a slave. , freedom. It will ? the lowest price f ity comes.
