The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1886-12-29

At this point 11r. t'ickcn moved tc
reconsider the vote whereby the House
refused to agree to the amendment In
creasing the College appropriation from
Sl5, GOO to 81, 900, stating that he did SO
in order to give Col. Haskell, who had
been indisposcd and who had just entered
the hall, al opportunity TO explain the
necessity for the increascdappropriadon.
HIr. Haskell explained that the increase
was needed mainly i'll consequence OF
the increased popularity in the College
of the school OF applied mechanics and
the agricultural department.
Dr. Pope and the Rev. Mr.. Archer
fought the amendment bitterl >. In stlklng 6
contrast were the remarks OF Mr.. lin
clal, of Clarendon, the president Of the
Farmers Convention and the reprcsen-
tative of that body. He had been, be
said, opposed to free tuition IN the Col
| legc, but he could never consent TO starve
the institution nor to cripple its usefnl-
ness by ri:Gg@ardly appropriations.
After SCmc further discussion the mo-
ton to reconsider was carried by large
majority and the Senate amendment
agreed 10 without division.
The amendment giving $473 for repairs
OF the arsenal at Beaufort was adopted
by vote OF t9 to ::3}6.
The Senate increase in the approprla-
ton fer public printing from So, coo to
| 50, coo, and that IL the Legislative ap-
priattior from SS, 900 to $4,000 were not
concurred in.
Tie Senate amendment appropriating
$4,000 10 :,id in the rebuilding OF the
State Medical College at Charleston
seemed 70 have stirred up the most dire
ful wrath of the reformers, who once
more rallied and made desperate fight
againstt i. The first opposition came
from Or. Pope. Of Newberry, who SAID
that the College had no right to call upon
the State for this aid.
After some discussion by several mem
bers, the amendment WAS agreed to by a
SO to II.
NIGHT SESSION.
IN pursuance Of the resolution adopted
this morning the House tonight confined
its attention to bills which had already
passed tie Senate. This arrangement
. developed the fact that a number OF bills
which were on the Calendar for Il second
reading had already been ratified.
The bin to prohibit the obstruction Of
navigation in the rivers OF the State by
bridges was continued till the next ses-
sion
The work on the Calendar progressed
rather slowly but without much trouble
until the Anderson-Lauens prohibition
bill was reached. An effort Was made,
as tie bill promised to consume a good
Zeal OF valuable time, to continue it
until the next session. This was, how
ever. voted down, yeas IL. nays u, and
the debate occupied the rest OF the night.
r!r. Caprelmann moved to strike out the
cnacting words Of the bi'l. His motion
was killed.
j member from Oconce moved to add
that corlntyto the bin. This was adopted.
Mr.. kcitt, OF Newbery, moved to add
that county TO the bill also.
DR.. Pope moved to table this motion.
If it was adopted he SAID it would split
the Democratic party in Newberry. The
motion to table was tabled by q lie vote
OF yeas 20, nays 80. y vote was then
taken on the amendment direct to add
Newberry county to the bill.
Mr. Hyde then moved to amend by
adding Marion. Voted down. Mr. O'Brien
moved to amend by adding Charleston:
Voted down The bill was then read
through to the end without further
amendments being offered.
Mr.. Salratt, of Union, moved TO strike
out tie last eight sections OF the bill, re-
ducing it to the level Of an ordinary pro-
Aibition bill This reopened the discus
sion, with the evident intention to keep
il up until an agreement could be reached.
After q long debate motion to strike
out the most Objectionable sections OF
! the bill failed by vote of 81 to 81.
Several other amendments were voted
down. The bill, with the amendment
including Oconee county, passed without
division.
! The House sat for some time longer
discussing unimportant bills.
