After a loog discussion a compromise was adopted and the boase voted, by a decided majority, to adopt che fifteen oent compromise There was a good deal of criticism regarding che expenditure of money at Clemson College aod. strange to say, nq one present seemed have the figures or the disposition to deny the obarge of extravagance, ex? cept ia general terms. The discussion on the matter of reducing the inspection tax took a wide range and caused more discussion than perhaps oa any bill darioggtbe present session. After a brief eontest Mr Patton's bill \ relative to the extensioo of municipal "limits wa3 killed. Several minor measures were dis? posed of. There wa9 a great ioflax of new measures daring che day. An uosuo cessful effort was made to hold night sessions, begiaoingt onight. The only third reading bill was Mr Ragsdaie measure to provide for fixiDg the pay for ootton weigbiog. On Mr Hoffmeyer's motion the bill was amend ed so that the fee for weighing stall not be over six cents, instead of four cents, as proposed. The bill was given its third reading with the six cent amendment. SENATE The senate tn going through its oaleodar today found bat few measures which the authors were ready to proceed with, except matters of pareiy local legislation and as a consequence the session was brief aod with one exception there was oo debate on aoy measure. There are several bills of importance to be disposed of, but there seems to he a disposition to pat them off for the present. Oatside of saob bills the senate has practically disposed of everything before it. Over an hour was consumed at the opening in the discussioa of cbc house bill ic relation to sommons in and. transcript of judgment from Magis? trates' Courts. The bill provides that when the property involved is ?25 or mere? tbs summons shall require the defendant to answer not more than twenty days after service, exclusive of day of service. When less than ?25 the answer shall be made not mote than five aays after service of som? mons. The senate refused to strike oat the enactiog words by 25 to 10. The hill then passed its third reading aod, with amendments, was sent back to the house Senator Graydon then with drew his bill on the same subject Columbia, Jan 24.-The Hoase today worked diligently on the calen? dar. Several insurance bills were acted upon. Thc >is3os biil, intended to help resident agents, is oow ready for rati? fication Mr H yd rick, after a bard fight, bad a bill adopted io the boase looking to the payment of certain foods oo certain kinds of policies issued, unless there be ao express waiver He wants the injured given due and timely ootice if thet? ?? to be no surrender value of the policy Mr Rsgsdale's bili relative to the payment of policies was kilted Toe first discussion was oo Mr Jenkins's bili looking to placing ali cou ot y officers on salary.

SENATE. Tb* senate discussed the Graydon dispensary bill today It was agreed that the bill should be discussed, but that no vote should be taken upon it. It was ai8o agreed that ail amend? ments should be similarly treated, but in several instances the rule was not observed Dating the morning hour the pro? ceedings were of the U6ua! routine character. Tih? biennial session bill came up j in the shape of two reports from the j judiciary committee The majority j report is unfavorable and the bill was placed on the calendar for future con sieraiton. j Senator Graydon had a jury- law amendment bill upon which the jo diciary committee reported unfavor? ably. It was placed on the calendar at the author's request, who stated that there was no legal jury in the State now. His bill ie io validate tbof i juries now ia existence There appears to be some defect in the title of the present law which makes them illegal ia the opinion of many law? yers Majority and minority reports were submitted on the bill regulating the olding of inquests by coroners and magistrates, tbe majority favoring it A message was received from the governor in reference to Spanish American war claims which was re ferred to the committee on military. The senate taking np calendar work, the bill to dispense with dup? licate receipts to be issued by the State Treasurer was withdrawn at the instance of the author Senator Sheppard Columbia, January 25.-Shad and the courts came very near consumiDg the entire session of the house today There was a long and interesting dis? cussion of Mr Moss's bill to provide for ten judicial oircuits instead of the eight now in the State Tho pros and coos were thoroughly discussed and the enacting words of the bili were strick? en out There were quite a number of inter? esting bills and resolutions presented today. Mr. N Gr. Evans wants to revoke the charter of the South Caro iioa and Georgia Road. He bad a bill pending looking to an investigation of the lease of the South Carolina and Georgia by the Southern, which be withdrew and introduced another look? ing directly to the repeal of the charter. Mr Ragsdald bad a resolution which looks to a vote on an amendment to the constitution permitting divorces io the State, or the possibility of their I being granted, only in oases of adul ! The house had quite a merry time over the discussion of the bill which sought to prevent the shipping of shad outside of the State The sole colored member made a strang and a successful fight against the bill, which was finally killed. A special committee, consisting of Messrs Wharton, Gantt and Richards, are to arrange with Prof Holmes, of North Carolina, for his lecture at the State House on the subject of good roads SENATE. The morning hour of the Senate was devoted to the discussion of educational bilis. One was by Sena tor Gruber, providing for a sin months7 term, which involved a redistribution of the dispensary school fund, and the other was Senator Brown's compulsory educa? tion measure Both were rejected by the Senate. The Senate at the night session resumed the discussion of the Graydon bill. When the debate ended ' yesterday Section 1 bad been disposed of, which per? tains to the commissioner and his salary ; Section 2 was considered in so far as knocking cut the proposed board of control is concerned. To? night Mr Mayfield moved to strike out ail of the enacting words of the bill and substitute the bili offered by him yesterday. Senator Sheppard moved to strike out Section 2 of the amendment which constitutes the board of con? trol cf the governor, chairman of th? committee ways and means and chair man of committee on finance of the Senate No result fellowed from this pre? liminary skirmish and Senator Man? ning addressed the senate He 6aid he had opposed the dispensaty at first, because he thought it unconsti? tutional and that it would build up a huge political machine in the State, j which wouid be a fruitful source of | fraud and corruption. But it is now j the law and 6hould be obeyed His observation has been, nevertheless, that the iaw has been beneficial The habit of drinking has decreased among yoong men Candor and honesty require that ho should state ! this in this public way. lie would lend every effort to do away with objectionable features and improve the law Bo said he had been in formed that this substitute is the I outcome of a caucus or a conference that has been heid in the office of the j chief executive of the State, a con | ference over which the governor j presided He felt that this was a matter the people should t>e informed of. He asked the senator from Barn berg whether this was the origin of the bili Senator Mayfield, in reply, said he j had for days been getting up a bill He had consulted with senators. He had written out his views, and there was a meeting of three or four sena? tors, and some others, to consider plans for the renovation of the dis? pensary. In connection with these ! senators his substitute was agreed upon Ile did not believe such action ought to injure the chances of the bill He moved to lay on the table the amendments of Senators Sheppard and Henderson, but with? drew the motion. A lengthy general discussion fol j lowed, but no progress was made. Senator Graydon moved to strike j out Senator M ay field's substitute. The vote was as follows : Yeas, 17; j ! nays, 21 So the Senate refused to table the j I substitute. j The question then came up on 1 j Senator Sheppard's amendment to ; j strike out section 2 He made brief j remarks, saying that a vote for his i amendment sirr.piy relieved the Gov ernor 3nd other oflicers from the ; duties of the board of control. The vote was 30 to S in favor of knocking out the section There was further discussion but ; the matter was fjnaily carried over to 1 tomorrow night's session Columbia, Jan 26.-Medical stu? dents and cigarette consumed practi cally the entire legislative day in the I house today j The medical students won and so I did the cigarettes They both had j hard fights, but won in the end. The ! medical students did not know how strong they were until the vote bsd been announced, and then seventy four members voted that the students of the Medical College of South Carolina, at Charleston, be admitted to practice in this State, upon the diplomas of that College, without further examination, trusting to the standard and integrity of the faculty of that College. After a protracted discussion the I scope of the bill was broardened 6o that any college with a four year course of acceptable standard, might receive a similar exemption for its graduates, provided the State board of medical examiners thought it pro? per to class the college as in the exempted list. It was a spirited fight and developed considerable spice The cigarettes came dangerously near being excommunicated, so far as the House is concerned, About all that saved the bill from passing in the bouse was the demonstration of the injury such a bill would be to a growing industry io this State with? out a commensurate benefit The tide of new bills bas not yet been checked. SENATE. The only bill discussed in the sen? ate this morning was the Marshall King's Daughters' bill against child labor io factories. The debate con? sumed all day, but was [interesting and bad its sentimental as well as practical side The senate took the practical view of the question and the bill was rejected by a vote of 29 ! to 8 During the morning hour Senator Henderson introduced the following resolution, which was adopted : Whereas, it is desirable that the Ression of the general assembly shall close at as early a day as possible, and divers opinions have been ex pressed as to its constitutional limit, be it resolved by the senate, the honse of representatives concurring, That it is hereby referred to the committee on the judiciary in both houses to bold a joint session of said bodies at an early day and report either jointly or separately, their opinion as to the constitutional limit of this session, and as to the limit of the pay of the members under the constitution. Senator Graydon introduced a res oiuticn requesting the board of obos phate commissioners to report at j otee to the general assembly why j they have not collected all the roy? alty due the State upon phosphate j rock mined during the past fiscal year. The resolution alleges ae a reason for this that the price of phos phate rock bas been quoted for the past six months at from $4 to $5 per ton. and the report of the inspector shows that the total number of ion6 moved was 121,073, upon which only $34,928 was collected Senator Graydon said that his in? formation came from the Manufac turers' Record which also stated that the State's royalty would be about $80,000 He wanted immediate consideration, but Senator Gruber pointed out that thia is too important a measu'e to be acted on hastily, whereupon the resolutions were re- ! ferrcd to the finance committee. NEW BILLS. Senator Manning; : To eel! the ! Des^aussure and Reid farms Senator Graydon : To prevent I municipal corporations from impos? ing licenses, unless specially author? ized to do GO by their charter Senator Appeit : To fix the time for holding courts in the 3d circuit Giving Advice. We notice that many of our exchanges have been and are giving advice to farmers. We learned long ago the ludicrousness cf giving advice to any body, but roe Press and Banner at four different time3 tried to prove by occuiar demonstration the profitableness of farming. But at the close of eaoh seance, the neighbor farmers had the laugh on the prioter We are now out of the farming busi oess, as wc take ic for all time to come. But we are making ene more effort to cueke a profit, not. by farming, but by grazing cattle. We have cow several head including full blood and grade jerseys, aod all 9orts of sorubs of low degree. If we succeed as weil at the oactle business as wc did at farming, wo will bo abie to priot a book, aod thereafter we will aspire to be a book farmer. Everybody knows how easy it is to theorize and desoribe imaginary results. Bock farming bas another advantage. It is oheap -Abbevillo Preas and Banner. Remarkable Rescue.
