The South Carolina Legislature
The South Carolina Legislature ;
ways has one shining virtue that coi
mends it-self to the favorable consider
lion of the people of the state. It
an industrious body. It meets, di
patches ^the public business and a
jonrns in the shortest time, perhaps,
any general assembly in the L u?ot
The session just closed was no exceptic
to the rule. It opened ou Xovemb*
22d. and there has been before the Le?
islature some cf the most i in po ri at
measures that have interested ta
people sin^e the days of reconstruct tor
How far the disposition that has bee
made of these matters may be satisfac
tory to those most directly concerned ii
the results must be decided in the future
AH legislation, however, by popula
assemblies is usually the refiex of pub!:?
sentimeut, and it is fair to presume- cha
the acts of this Legislature are only chi
wishes of the people as far as the repre?
sentatives have been able to tinders taut
them.
The question that perhaps excited
more interest than any other was thc
demand of a large number of farmers
for the establishment of an a g ri cult ural
and mchanica- college, separate and
distinct from the state university:. This
matter has been agitated ia the public
print, on the stump and in conventions
in South Carolina for neat ly three years
At the begining of the >essioa bills were
introduced in both the Senate and
House providing for the establishment
of such a college. At the same time the
trustees of the university submitted a
plan for the enlargement of that institu?
tion, so as to raise it to tue 'eve: of a
first-class university, embracing among ,
its other features a college of agriculture
and the mechanic arts The result of I
a?rerai weeks' consid?ration of the \
matter resulted in thc rejection of the '
Hlls for the separate College and the ;
adoption of the university pian by a de- j
eided majority in both houses. The de?
bate showed that the conservative ele
^raent, which was opposed to the large ap?
propriations believed to be required ?JT
the establishment of a separare college. :
preponderated ic the General Assembly. ; i
It was urged that for a verv much ?
smaller expenditure in enlarging the c
agricultural annex of the university the t
same results could be accomplished. I
This idea prevailed, and the opportunity v
has been given for the trustees to she.Y ?J
whether or not it was the correct one. . ;:
It is needless to aid that the ex peri- j j?
ment will be watched with cager inter- . }<
est and subjected to the closest scrutiny c;
by the advocates of the separate college. ; C
and unless it proves a complete success ti
and every facility is afforded foran agri- :t!
cultural education, efforts will be renew- w
ed to abandon this scheme and create the ;j
separate institution. j sa
The phosphate question was a leading
issue. The joint committee appointed if
by the two Houses to investigate the gj
phosphate interests of the state reported th
a bill to change the system of mining be
operations and grant to 5ve companies th
the exclusive right to remove rock from j v'n
the streams for a period of ten years, ob
Since 1870 the miners nave paid over a pu
million dollars royalty into the state ?ni
treasury. It was claimed before the (Jo
committee that, owing to over-produc- rna
lion, the industry was languishing, and Utj
4he only way to prevent serious loss to ' w:j
She State and possible disaster to the ??0
?liners was by such 'legislation as would sjj?
.beck reckless competition. The com- . [jc i
mittee was so fully convinced of tbe '? wh
truth of these claims that the bill men- ave
tioned was reported by a majority of it- ?ha
members. From its in trod uni K>U, how?
ever, it was evident that it could never
pass the Legislature. The charge that j^.
the bili sought create a p ?werful. roi
monopoly that would unfavorably aile ci <\,
the agricultural interests t ? the .State, ab?
was made ti:c bu.-:.? of opposition, and
resulted in the rejection ot the proposed an?
measure.
The demand of the Farmers c .nv-.n- .'.
tion for an enlargement ot th.; beard -1 rio
agriculture received fjvv'ubi'j consider- :,?.,
ation, and the bili to accomplish this ?>co
?ult met with no opposition, trier- if
enees existed between the two I louses at.

?u. j The Supply bill as it left the House
U;.t. provided for the levy of ti ve and a hall
mills tax for State taxes. The Senate
reduced the levy to five mills, which is
? an increase of three-fourths of a mill
'* ; over the levy fer the last fiscal year.
. ; This was maile necessary by the in
creased appropriations for the support

" An act passed in regard to forfeited |
u j lands was one of the most important !
measures that came before the leg isl a
?J turo. The hiws on this subject hereto- ;
fore in existence have been so defective j
that titles to land forfeited to the sta'e
^ j were generally worthless. The act just
? passed is believed to remove all obstacles j
. to the iega! sale of such lands. If this
J has been accomplished it will result i ti
? j securing to the state in future the taxe* ?
, ! on ali lands eithca by their payment by :
1 owners or by recovery from sales of the ?
. I property. * _ j
j The only pro}; 5 bit iou measure ot any .
j consequence adopted was the act to pro- ?
' vide a local option law for the couuties '
of (jreeuvilie and Abbeville.
As usual, the great bulk of legisla- i
i tica was in regard to local mahers, and j
: many of these occupied a large part of 1
the time of the General Assembly, i '
Taken altogether, the session has been J
characterized by wisdom, conservatism . f,
and a careful regard fir the public wei- '

of these measures will never again see [>-v
the light of day after being taken to *' '

The oft-recurring questiou of whether ;-'y~ .

bltcatiou. From being simply an "l
telligible synopsis of the doings of g.^,.1,
ogress, encroachment was gradually eel
ide upou the space of the Record r' *'
til it has become the medium through
ich long-winded Congressmen in- Yo::
