ANOTHER INvEsTIG ATING COMMITTEE.
The question Of the amount and validity of
the outstanding pay-cerliacates of the last
General Assembly, and Of the bills payable,
that were Issued last winter by eX-Trelsurer
Parker, has been agitating the minds OF the
members of the Legislature for the past week,
and, as has already been reported. joint
special investigating committee Of eight mem
bers has been appointed to pass judgment
loou all of this class of State obligations.
This committee has organized and, as will be
seen by an official notice In The NEWS, 1t pro-
poses TO hold daily sessions hereafter, and IL
Invites all holders OF certificates and due bills
to come forward and submit their claims to
the Investigation. II would appear, however,
That there Is an uncaaritable surmise on the
part OF some members, That this same joint
special financial Investigating committee is
more or less of fraud, aud Is designed
rather more for the personal emolument oil
Its members than for the protection OF the
State. Senator G,llaTd appears TO share In
this unklnd suspicion, and this morning he
introduced the following concurrent resDlu-
ton:
RESOLVED, That the high old Joint, No. 2, credit
mobilier committee Of the stale OF South Carroll
ma, otherwise known as the committee to investl-
gate The PARKER bi Is payable" treasury noies
and pay certificates, be, and they arehereoy re:
qulrci, to hold the sessions OF The committee pup
licly.
The resolution was laid over for consider
alton tomorrow, when it will probably be
defeated, for, of course, 1t would be impolltc
for the Senate TO ultimate by the adoption OF
such resolution that this committee, which
ls partly of Its own creation, would close lts
doors for the purpose of resorlinS 10 the ways
that are dark and the tricks that are vain.
THE RECORDERS COURT.
Senator Jervey, of Charleston, who appears
to have been reading the Governors annual
message with laudabe degree OF attention,
this morning introduced bill which is de-
signed TO carry into effect one OF the most i'm.
portant OF the Governors recommendations
The bill is entitled bill TO abolish tho Office
of recorder In the Citg OF Charleston, and 1t
provides that the Office of recorder In the
abolished, and that all laws or resolutions
relative to such office be and the same are
hereby repealed"
DRUGGISTS LICENSES.
The same senator also introduced this morn
ing bill which proposes AL Important aller-
alion In the method Of licensing druggists
and apothecaries. The bill Is entitled q bill
to incorporate the Pharmaceutical Association
of the Slate of South Carolina, and the fol-
lowing gentlemen are designated as incorpo-
rators: G. ]. Luhn, 6. W. Aimar, G. F. Pank-

bers, who with two other persons 10 be

year. A similar board Is proposed for the
City OF Columbia, TO consist oil four memt ers

University. These boards are to meet once
In every three months, and remain In session
until all applicants for licenses, who have pre-
viously made application to the secretary OF

luminous, contains variety of regulations for
the examining and licensing Of druggiste, phar
maceullsts and apothecaries, all of whom doing
business in this Slate are required 10 come be-
fore one OF these examining boards, except
those who have already been licensed under
