Columbia, February 12:?Local A : uncontested bills occupied the first hours of the Senate this morning, The bill in behalf of the State j warehouse commission, introduced by Senators Banks and Evans, re'ta first .were iolt this morn ? ? WITVU vw ~ w fing by an amendment introduced by Senator Lee, to the effect that after g the 1st of September, 1915, the ^ ^ duties of the office of State Warei 1 house Commissioner shall devolve J upon the Commissionerof Agriculture without extra compensation. Senh atot Banks began a speech in opLi """position to the bill only to be inter\\ rupted by the fact that time had arrived to go to the House for the |i ' purpose of ratifying acts. f'\ Senator Banks hoped the amendment would fail. In his opinion, I the State warehouse system had I Koon nnd would be of great benefit I vvv" " " " K " to the people, especially the farmers, of the State. He told of his per^B sonal experience with the State ^B' warehouse system and said he was ^B enabled to effect considerable saving. B Senator Lee spoke in favor of his amendment. He wanted to repeal the law creating the system, but if the system was to be continued then the thing to do was to abolish the office of Commissioner and let the H Commissioner of Agriculture do the W work. I Senator Carlisle, of Spartanburg, B% said that he was not aware of any demand for this warehouse system . anywhere in the Piedmont section, V and he knew there was practically J.;, none in Spartanburg county. He B was glad to see that there was ob* jection to it in the Pee Dee section. ? ? He did not believe it was the funci tion of the State to go into this cotton warehousing business. He had i rather have cotton in a bonded waret* house, privately owned and managed, any time than in a State-owned and controlled warehouse. In his opinion foreign cotton buyers V would look askance at the State certificates. The Commissioner of AgH riculture would have time with his V clerical staff to attend to the work. H He might have to curtail some of V his whirlwind grain-sowing cam paigns some time, but his office could handle the work. The Se;"^ "Evened this after noon at 4 o'cioc*. bill by Sen ator Patterson, prescribing the du ties of the superintendent of the I State Hospital for Insane, providing W for an assistant superintendent, a f board of visitors, and fixing tneir compensation, was given third read| ing and sent to the House. The joint resolution, by Senator Chris tensen, submitting a constitutional amendment to provide for the appointment of the board of regents V of the Hospital for the Insane, the njht? board to elect the superintendent, Hp' was passed to third reading by a BmI* - f nA o iT YQie 01 OU to C.

The House today decided that it would take up the general appropriation bill at tonight's session. Later on it determined tha\; it would consider a bill to provide for a new gymnasium at Winthrop College on Monday. Another county has been added to the list that want bonds for permanent road improvements. Greenyille and Richland already have bills providing for a million or more dollars to be expended on good roads. Berkeley county has asked for authority to levy a special tax, which fund, if the people vote it, is to be used for permanent road work. Today Anderson countv introduced a bill asking for authority to issue $750,000 in bonds and to use the proceeds on permanent road work in that county. Both the Sinkler Senate bill on compulsory education, with the compromise substitute bill as an amendment; and the Harper bill, were given third readings in the House and sent to the Senate. The Senate will probably consider the Sinkler bill first,as it is returned to that body with amendments, having passed three readings in both branches, and the chances are decidedly in favor of the passage of a compulsory school attendance law.?Nexcs and Courier.
