$ SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
V
: Warehouse System Attacked?
^ \ 1 State Insane Hospital.
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

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

Hec
Deatb of Mr. J. Bennett Steele.
A pall of sadness fell upon Kingstree
Friday afternoon about 6
o'clock, when the announcement of
the death of Mr James Bennett
Steele, clerk and treasurer of the
town council, reached here from
Charleston. For' several days Mr
Steele had suffered from an attack
of grip and his physical condition
was poor when he was taken to
Cnarleston last Thursday.
It seems that a case of appendicitis
had developed and an immediate
operation was necessary. He was
taken to an infirmary at Charleston,
where the operation was successful'
