LEGISLATIVE NOTES. Matters of General and Local Interest Briefly Mentioned. Columbia, February 16:?Special: The House during the past week has passed and sent to the Senate two bills which have as their object the abolition of all houses of ill fame within the borders of the State. Action on the part of the Senate and the Governor is being eagerly awaited, both by proponents and opponents of the two bills, but the impression is rather general that both of the measures will successfully pass muster before the upper branch and the Chief Executive. tKo Hills is Hv Mr Sanders V/IIV VI Wiiv vittv w -W J _ of York and proposes to apply the injunction process in remedying the social evil, which is much shorter and more direct than the legal method by which houses of prostitution may be closed up. If passed this will go into effect July 1, 1914, The other bill was recommended by the Judiciary committee and is ii^ effect the application of the Mann White Slave act to this State, making it a felony for anyone to transport from one town within the State to another or to harbor any woman or girl for immoral purposes. The Sanders bill was passed on second reading by a vote of 68 to 35, and the committee bill received the total vote of 91 cast. Messrs Smiley, Kellahan and Kirk voted throughout iD favor of the bills and Mr Kirk made a stirring speech in favor of the Sanders' bill. Mr Smiley has a bill on the calendar to require persons who hold hot suppers or festivals for profit to secure a license. The bill may be reached this week. Such legislation was urged by the recently formed State Sheriffs' association which met in this city. They pointed out that much of the disorderly conduct in the country was due to the influence of these hot suppers and that a license would have the effect of cutting out a number of such entertainments. A bill has been introduced by Mr Kirk, and is now on the calendar for its seccnd reading, which would regulate the practice of veterinary surgery in this State by providing a State board of examiners. Mr Kirk also has a joint resolution directing the Comptroller-General to draw his warrant for $2.31& in favor of M F Heller. On the calendar of the Senate *1 - u:n w;n; o mcKnrrr UlCrC IS ?

Numerical Growth of Churches. According to statistics recently compiled for the Federal Council of Churches, the year 1913 was one of steady advancement in membership for the Christian churches in the United States. The net gain in enrollment for the year was 618,000, or about two per cent. The Methodists* were the most successful in gaining new members, showing a net increase of 220,000, or more than one-third of the entire increase. The Catholics were a close second with an increase of 212,000. Then come in oruer the Baptists, with a gain of 64,600, the Presbyterians, 45,600, the Lutherans, 36,100, the Disciples, 21,800 and the Episcopalians, 16,500. The present membership of these leading denominations is given as follows: Roman Cathlic 13,099,534 Methodist 7,125,669 Baptist 5,924,663 Lutheran 2,338,722 Presbyterian 2,027,593 Disciples of Christ 1,519,369 Protestant Episcopal. 997,407 These figures are encouraging. They show that the churches are not losing ground relative to the growth of population. In spite of the wholesale charges of ungodliness so constantly repeated, it remains true that we Americans take .an interest in our churches and turn to them for spiritual help in constantly increasing numbers.?

Today's (Friday's) hearing in the State Insane Asylum investigation was marked by a short colloquy between Governor Blease and Joseph Sparks,a well known newspaper man who has been reporting the meetings of the committee. The Governor read extracts from the record of the committee's ??ssions, which, he said, sustained hit position in the entire matter, and stated that unless UllS WUU1U UC 1U IIJC fuuvvu of the committee he wished to send it in a special message to the Legislature, as he knew the newspapers would not print it. Mr Sparks arose and stated that if j the committee would furnish him with a copy of the minutes in question he would gladly publish the vital parts. Governor Blease said: "Yes,and the 'vital parts' will all be against Blease," to which Mr Sparks j replied: "The Governor may point jout what he considers the vital j parts." "When I get to be news censor ior the Columbia State," said the Governor, "I won't be on this earth; I will be in hell." "You are damn right," replied Mr Sparks. Chairman Mauldin rapped for order before other remarks had been exchanged.?yews if- Courier, February 14Conference Bible Institute.
