General Assembly. House Hills Local ; Option Bills. Colombia, Feb 16-The boase of representatives yesterday killed the local option bills presented by Messrs. K B. A Robinson and W L Marjidin. The.former received 38 ?otes and the latter 31 Against the former there were 72 votes and against the latter 80 There were some strange argaments presented yesterday io the efforts to defeat tbese bSl* No liquor legislation will now come ap before the boase except Mr. Archer's senate amendment, and this ie being held off as lo ag as possible fey the opposition. Mr. M aa din made a strong speech in favor of local option, while Mr. McDow*s forcible speech and Mr. M. B. Woodward's powerful argument against the bill in favor of the dis pensary were mach commended by - the supporters of the present law. When the appropriation bili came Iup for the third reading Mr. Prince offered several amendments, one of j which was to increase the appropria tion for the engrossing department from $4,000 to $4,500. Several members objected to the increase but Mr. Prince explained the necessity for the increase and the bill as amended was passed. At the night session an effort was made to taxe up the Archer bill amending the dispensary law, which Came over from the senate, but objec tion was made and the HU. was referred to the judiciary committee. The Thomas bill to punish viola tions of written 'or verbal labor con tracts was killed The bill to refund to taxpayers in Beaufort county the State taxes for 1898 was passed. WORK OF "THE SENATE Tbe Senate met this morning at ll o'clock. Upon the completion of j routine work debate on Senator Ms ni din's wide tire bill was resumed Senators Mauldin and Manning both made excellent speeches in favor of the bili, tat QB motion of Senator Henderson the bill was continued to the next session. Mr. Manning said that thu bill is far wore important than weald appear to ea who has not given the matter con sdera. oo. The subjects of good roads ha attracted the attention of the legis latures of many of the States ; commis* i oBB have beta appointed to make re eommmend&tiocs and to suggest the Itt* and most practicable way of reach* ng and overcoming she difficulties io wdent to improving the public roads those suggestions bare crystaiized in assay of the States anti radical laws have Veen enacted to carry mt the suggestion; moat eases these laws require an elabo rate plan and considerable expense, hope to see the time wheo a plan will be developed by which we will have first slats roads io South Carolina, bot to do this would mean au additional tax ea property-a contract system-the ex-easioo of the werk of the ehaiogang and the lengthening of the term for walch they can bo used oo roads-the cse of convicts by the State itself oo the pablie roads and the management el road building I do not believe the time is yet ripe for each propositions. Ibat the senator from Hampton andi have io the bill before us presented a plan for improving the public roads which is inexpensive and simple. This . bili is moderate io its provisions, liberal io the time allowed for the introduction of wide tires and to my mied woold work a hardship oo oo ooc. "I lay dowo two propositions : "i Broad tiree make better roads than narrow tire .'2 Broad tires reduce the draught ie ali kinds of soil but one. "The first proposition is so plato tbat st hardly needs demonstration. This fast was recognised many years ago am ioforcned by a nigbly respected gentleman cf cay county, Dr. Mayes, that prior to the introduction of rail roads aa far back,a? before 1840 broad tire wagons were allowed to pas*) along the puolic highways without paying toll as it was a recognized fact that tbe wide tires would pack down and make smooth the roads instead of cutting them toto ro<? as the narrow ties did. M j wo experience abundantly justifies me io say io g that wids tires help to stake ood roads and keep them io good order Illustration given to demonstrate the fact. "With tbuae facts before os the adoption of (hts hilt will reduce an itess of expease in tbe counties whieh is pecoo octy to court expenses. Io my county there ts spent annoally between $5.000 and $6.000 oo roads This bill, if passed, woold be a loog atep io the reducci n of this expense and io giving better roads. I hope that tbe senate will not stand in the way cf a measure that, io my opinion, meaos a great deal for the material advancement of the interests of the State. The Archer bill was passed after being amended in several unimport ant respects The appropriation bili was passed to the third reading, only three amendments of consequence being adopted. Six hundred dollars were appropriated for a new roof on the Citadel, and $240 for an armory for the Adjutant General. At the night session Senator Brown of Marion, offered an amendment providing for the appropriation of j $100,000 to the pnblic schools of the State, Tbe amendment was rejected by a vote of 26 to ll. Mr. Manning bad an amendment adopted raising the appropriation for claims from $2,000 to $3,000. Colombia. S C., February 16. Ia tbe boose of representatives to day tbs bill to snbmit to the people a con stitutional ameodmeot creating biennial sessions aod one making the terms of members four years ere ooo tin oed entii next session on motion of the an thon. Mr. Dendy 's bill io reference to the eutablishmeot of dispensaries in Ooooee county cam* np for a third reading, and although it finally passed it had a ( thorny path tc tread before it got there. Members did not seem to understand j the bill and motions were made to I strike out the enacting words, to indefi I nitely, postpone and so forth. Mr. Dendy explained that the bill bad no effect upon the dispensary law, bat that it simply put Ooooee on an equality with other prohibition coun ties. I Mr. Montgomery had Marion in cind ee and io reply to question he said that the dispensary DOW established could not be abolished in the oouoty unless the people so voted, and that was in accord* anec with the dispensary law now, so far as prohibition counties are cen oem ed. Mr. Wharton introduced a bill which provided that whoever violates any of the provisions of tbe dispensary law, or any laws amendatory thereof, shall upon convictions be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be sentenced to bard labor on the cbaingang for not less than three months or more than twelve. As. will be seen, this imposes oo fine and those who argued io favor of the bill were that blind tigers easily paid the fine when imposed aod went on selling just the same. Mr. Mauldin introduced au amend ment which would include those who were convicted of violating the conceal ed weapon act. On the vote being taken the clerk's count carried the Wharton bili by 50 to 46 Bat some members who kept count declared that the talley was wrong, and a poll of the house was taken. This showed that the clerk had failed to bear answers of certain numbers which, being counted, made the vote stand 50 to 50 Io ease of a tie the measure 8 lost. Oo Mr. Ma aldin's ameodmeot the vota stood 59 against 47 for. so it, too, was lost. Mr. Sanders theo called op the ameodmeot to the dispensary law prohi biting the graotiog of hotel privileges and beer licenses and proceeded to speak io defence of it Mr. Blesse defended the granting of beer privileges, bot he admitted that betel privileges had been abeted. All beer privilege meo were dispensers, aod there waa little or no difference between them aod other dispeesers. So far as hotel privileges were concerned, they have already been abolished. Mr. Bogers, as a dispensary man, ap pealed to the legislature to pass this bill. Lat the dispensary be rid of all ^oestiooable methods, It was pointed oat that there was oo specific law allowing sueb privileges to be granted . Friends of the dispensary voted for the bill and it was adopted by s vote of 74 to 24 Mr. McCullough's bill io reference to taxation of' mortgages was continued until next seseion. Thi-re was passed a bill which abol ishes from the State the Southeastern Tariff association ; a bili to further pro hibit violation of Sadbatb ; and a joiot resolution regarding the State historian which, as ameoded, looks as if there would be some opposition to Col. Thomas' socceediog himself. There was on the calendar a bill to empower the state board of health to enforce vaccination. Tho house had previously passed a motion to allow no bill to be taken ap oat of order. Dr. Starkey appealed for the rule to be sus pended in order that the bili be passed. This was opposed by Mr. Sawyer and others fought ibe proposition, and it was defended by Mr. W. B Richard son, Mr. E D Smith aod Mr J. H. Wilson. There was enough time wast ed to pass half a dozen bills. The house finally decided to let it come up as it was aa emergency bill Mr. Means moved to strike out tbe eoacting words The boase almost unanimously re fused to strike oot tbe eoacting words and the bill passed. The state board of health shall have power to order aod enforce the vaccina tion cf all each persons as it may con sider necessary for tbe preservation of the public health, and aoy person or person? who shall resistor ioterfere with the operations or enforcement of this act shall be demaoded guilty of a misde meanor aod subject to a fioe of oot less than $10 oor more than $50, or to im prisonment for not less than 10 days nor more thao 30 days. Io the senate there was a compromise on the bill to abolish the office of phos phate iospcotor. The salary was reduc ed to $800 instead of $1,200. The distribution of dispensary profits to schools came up again and was finns! ly disposed of It provides that in those counties where tho three miii and poll tax does not produce sufioiency to roo the schools for five mouths the I deficiency shall be made up from dis pensary profits Columbia, Feb. 17 -Io tbe bouse to day the most interesting matter dispos ed of was the senate bill requiring mern bera of tbe state board of control t< bond Tbe bill required a bood of $2i for each member, sod a provision acted that the premiums to tb* s or guarantee company should be out of the d:epeosary profits and si be charged to the expense account, The house voted against the provision and required the memb< pay their own bonds. On motion of Mr Sawyer the I were fixed at $10,000. There was siderable ooniusion as to the p oouot of the vote, but after the I bad beeo polled the vote was dec 51 to 00 in favor of the ameodmeo ; Mr Stevenson offered an amendi I that the state commissioner be reqi to be give the same bond as the treasurer, the bonds to be approve his is. The treasurer's bond is \ OOO. Mr. Sharpe offered an amendi that the bond be fixed at $50, which was agreed to, and the bill passed. At the opeoing of the session Bleate attempted to have the beer 3 Hage matter recommitted. He des that it be considered distinct from hotel privilege business. The boos fused to recommit. Mr. Cosgrove moved that all s pee hereafter be limited to five miou Mr. Blease wanted io definite debat the Archer bill, bot on motion of Wiogo this was tabled and all de will be limited. The Sooth Carolina and Geo railroad extension bill was passed & several amenaments bad been adop It was decided to take op only sei bills for the rest of tbe session. A resolution was adopted allow the hospital for tbe iosaoe the OBI aa macy convicts as may be dee! necessary. Mr. Baoot stated 1 patients were oomiog io at the rate forty a month aod more room was oe ed. The senate passed the greater part the day io considering the fertilizer bill from the boase. That toroed the proceeds of the tax into the treas a Clemson to receive appropriations other colleges. The seoate adoptee tobstitote bill wbioh leaves tba law it at preseat stands. There will bi to be a committee of conference on 1 bill. The fertilizar taz bill was taken again at the night session and reac second time. The senate bill wbioh intended to take the place of t present law aod the boase bill provid in general terms that the fon collected shall be placed io the Sta treasury and paid oot on warraot the board of trastees of Clemson. Tl whole amount goes to this college. Ti law governing the ase of tags f fertilizer is very mach more stringer It provides for a cancellation of the tags aod imposes a heavy penalty f counterfeiting them. Mr. Mower withdrew hts amendmei to make the receipts, over and aboi $40,000 per aoooo, to eodowaet food for Clemson. NO PALMETTO TREE ON TH BOTTLES. The sentimentalists got 10 a litt! dispensary legislation this morninf The particular thing that has worrie them is the palmetto tree blown i every dispensary bottle The paimett tree is taken co be an emblem of th State aod sentimentalists believed i was dragging that emblem in the dh and mir to have it on a whisks, bottle. Some anti-dispensary people are 0 the opinion that the palmetto tree is no disgraced as mach by being blown in ; bottle as the State is io handling wha the bottie contains, bat that seotimen was to be expected from them. The bill to prevent the ase of tb tree on the bottle was introduced bj Mr Jackson, who said he did it ont c respect to Confederate and Mexioai soldiers. Messrs Efird and Magill oppos e what they termed sickly sentimentality ia this matter and the discussion wai wasting time over a useless matter. Mr. H. H. Evans was moved to deer, indignation when he saw a soldier lying in the gutter drunk with a bottle sticking out of bis pocket upon which the palmetto tree was the mosi prominent object to be seen. Therefore the palmetto tree ought to be wiped ofl these bottles. motion to reoommit the bill was lost by 59 to 31, but an amendment was adopted wbioh allowed the bottles now in ose to be continued outil they are ail lost or destroyed. - i- 11 To Our Subscribers-Important.
