"t lag organisation, for the membership with the exception of half the Senate, were elected last fall ami will for? mally assume their office when they present themselves before the bar of the houses and take the prescribed oath*. Promptly at noon on January H the gavel of Lieutenant Governor C. A. Smith will fall and the Senate will tome to order. On Mondt y night preceding this date the hold-over Bens tors will caucus and nominate a President pro tern, a clerk, reading clerk, chaplain, sergeant-at-arms and the chairmen of the various commit? tees. As soon as the Lieutenant Gov? ernor calls the Senate to order and the chaplain has offered prayer, the clerk will call the roll of new Senators and they will present themselves at the oar and be sworn In. Immediately on the conclusion of this some hold-over Senator will arise and announce the caucus nom? inations for the various positions and the ususi proesdw.re is to elect them without opposition. There is no rea? son to believe that there will be any right on the caucus nomination this year. It seems assured that Senator P. L Hard In, of Chester, the veteran in the upper chamber in point of continuous service, will be named {"resident pro tern. Clerk M. M. Mann. Sergeant-at-arms J. F. ?chumpert. Mng Clerk Stokes are practically Cl re-election without op >n. The position of assistant rk and other attaches will be fill? ed by appointment. As soon as this ^TToceuure Is Anlshed the clerk of the ^Senate will be sent to Inform the House that the Senate is In order an 1 a committee will be named to notify the Governor that the Senate Is or? ganised and ready to receive any message or tnmunlcations. Immed? iately the Governor's message will be sent up and read and the Senate will then likely adjourn until the following day. Mr. J A Hoyt, the retiring clerk will call the House to order und Some one ..f the members-elect will be chosen to take the chair, after which the < lerk will call the r ,11 by eoonties and the member^ will present themselves and be sworn In.

Copes, of the 1st Circuit, will have to bs filled. Tor this position three candidates have been announced, Messrs. Octavus Cohen, of Monck's Corner. P. T. Hildebrand, of orangehurg, and M. S. Connor, of St. Qeotge. It is understood that very strong pressure is being brought to heir <?n s? nat.>r K. J. Dennis, of r.t-rkeley County, to enter ih<- race, and If he does there will be four can? didates for the vacaaey. The term of Judge Thomas S. Sease, of the 7th judicial circuit, also expires, but he will more than likely be re-elected without opposition. The term of Su? perintendent D. J. Griffith, of the State penitentiary, expires and he is a candidate for re-election. Others an? nounced for this position are former Sheriffs Hunter, of Bamberg, and Long, of Union. Three members of the Penitentiary board of directors, Chairman A. K. Sanders, Messrs. John O. Mobley and Jasper M. Smith, a so expire, and they are candidates to succeed themselves. All of them will probably have opposition. One important matter to come be? fore the Leglsalture will be the ques? tion providing funds for continuing the work of moving the State Asy? lum out to the new location, some sev? en miles from the city. The present quarters are congested and relief can only be had by more room. To this end ths State purchased some 1,200 acres of land in the Sand Hills and commenced erecting buildings with the idea eventually of moving the entire State Asylum there and dlspos Ing of the present property In the city of Columbia, and using the funds thus secured to pay for the new quarters, To provide the funds a $1,000,000 bond issue was proposed, but this was defeated by the people. Some $150, 000 hap already been borrowed from the sitgte sinking oomrpi*s|on to curry on the work at the new Asylum plant, and this must be returned. To do this it is believed that it will be necessary to levy an extra two mill State tax, and this is bound to raise a mighty protest Some Action, however, must be taken to provide tne necessary funds for this work. An effort to amend the commission form government hill so as to give Charleston the right to vote on this measure next year Is promised to be brought to the attention of the LeKls lature, und this will reopen all the old bitterness In Charleston politic*. May? or John P. Grace, of Chaileston. and his frUnds will likidy fight the propo? sition bitterly. The present Charles? ton Commission .Vet cannot be voted on until Mayor Grace's term of ot!l<it expires and this concession was only reached last year after a strenuous fight. - i ? A fight will be made to give the, common school* an increased appro? priation, and there is talk of maklnf a levy of one mill for common school funds. It is not believed that there win ba any increase in the appro? priations for the various State col? leges.

Our <>r the Officials out or Jail Take? Documenta to the Prisoners. Indianapolis. Ind., Jan. 5.?Ass an Immediate step toward procuring i?aii for the SI men of the Internationa] AaiOOiation Of Bridge and Structural Iron Worker! now in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., J. E. McClory, acting secretary-treasurer of the union, departed for Leavenworth this afternoon, taking with him blank bond applications. MeClory did not dlaoUM his plans other than to say that he was taking blanks to the prisontn for their signatures. lieClory intimated, however, that practically sufficient money or securi? ties had been pledged to obtain the release of all the prisoners except Herbert S. Hockin, who has announc? ed that he will make no appeal. The funds have been raised prin? cipally among- the labor unions and it is believed that the imprisoned iron workers will be released during the week. The announcement by United States Attorney Charles W. Miller that he would make no fight on indemnified bonds or securities located outside of this State, provided they were satis? factory in other respects, has simpli? fied the matter for the defendants' attorneys and they hope to have the necessary $1,070,000 or its equivalent for the release of all the prisoners by the middle of the week at the latest. The time required in getting the bonds signed and approved by Federal Judge Anderson, who heard thp trial, probably will delay freedom to |hp men until the end of the week.

Cnngm'WHnimi Linthlcum's Reeolu llon Adopted in House, Washington. Jan. 8.?Impelled by the large number <?t' recent railway disasters and the human toll exacted by them. Congressman J. Charles Linthicum, of Baltimore, today in? troduced a resolution directing a sweeping Investigation into wrecks and accidents on American railroads and their cans, s, with a v iew of get? ting information for legislation that will place more safeguards around the American traveling public The resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Rules, directs the Speaker to appoint a select commit? tee of nine members to conduct the Investigation. The committee thall report to the House the result of its findings and recommendations. Not only are the causes of the wrecks to be determined, but the commitee is directed to inquire into the regulations for the selection of imployes who han? dle the trains and the operating meth? ods of railroads. Mr. Linthicum has been gathering data on the subject for some time as a basis for an address. From Baltimoie have also come sug? gestions for the probe. Charles H. T?rten, a manufacturer of that city, has writen to Mr. Linthicum a num? ber of letters, urging that energetic steps be taken by Congress. In one of his letters Mr. Toisch declares he cannot understand why the Federal Government requires every marine engineer to obtain a license before he can operate a small gasoline yacht, and then permit any man to step from the workshop or from the farm to a position involving the lives of a hundred people without examination.

NVw York, Jan. I.? ?That the year 1913 may see the marvel of broken bonos repaired for use within four ? lavs ami wounds healed within one 'lay is forecast by Dr. Alexis Canel of the Rockefeller Institute for Med? ical Research who last year won the Nobel prize for medic.ne. Dr. Carrel is now in Europe about to return to his work after having been to Stock? holm to receive the Noble prize. The announcement of his marvelous pre? dictions appears in the current issue of the official organ of the Rockefeller Institute. While it now requires some months for the repair of a broken arm or leg; and often weeks for the healing of a cutaneous wound Dr. Carrell believes that these healing processes can be accelerated wonderfully by the growth of connective tissue by artificial means. He has been conducting ex? periments since 1907. Aided by knowledge that growth of the body is dependent in many re? spects on the more or less mysterious activities of some of the ductless glands?the thyroid for instance?he applied a mixture of thyroid extracts and macerated portions of other or? gans of the body to cutaneous wounds. He found the experiments to bear out his belief that if the rate of the reparation of tissues were activated 10 times only a cutaneous wound would heal in less than 24 hours and a fracture of the leg would be cured in four or five days. Continuing with more radical ex? periments on live animals with the use of an extract from emboyonical tissue he found this increased the growth 40 timec. Experiments with various other extracts of tissues show? ed healing powers ranging from three to 4 0 times greater than normal plasma. Appled to bones he found that pulps made of thyroid glands produced a pronounced thickening which ac? celerated the reparation process. BXCITEMBNT IX GOLDVILLE. Allo?cd Plan to Kill CoL L. W. C.
