Representatives

An Anti-LiquOr Bill Passes the House of
Representatives
COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. ST. Speciall-
The house of representatives has passed
Childs' bill to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of spirits and Intoxicating
liquors in South Carolina except under
certain restrictions. The bill now goes
to tho senate in which body it is ex-
pected to receive twenty-five votes out
of thirty five.
The bill is very stringent in its pro-
visions and it is to go into effect in
October, 1892.
Gov. Tillman has a plan of his own to
diminish the liquor traffic, namely, to
take away from municipalities the
revenue derived from licenses, which ia
recommended in his annual message. so
that there is doubt as to his approving
the bill should it pass.
In this case it will scarcely he noss;-
bic to secure the necessary two thirds
vote in both houses to pass the bill
over the Governors veto.
The Childs bill was backed IN bv
monster petitions from all over the State
and the Methodist conference in session
at Darlington and the Baptist State
convention forwarded approval of the
measure
The liquor men are at fever heat and
tho fate OF The bill in the Senate will be
watched witch intense interest through
out the State. Tho attitude of the
State press, as a rule, has hpen hostile

The answer of the City Council to the
rule OF the court to show cause why tho
present Jail should not be removed and
new ono erected in its place was pre-
sented to Judge Robertson in the Hust-
lngs Court yesterday by Solicitor Miller.
Tho document, which was quite n
lengthy one, recommends tho extension
OF the jail, and also stated that Sta
tlonhouso was to be built
blue prints of plans, prepared by City
Engineer Dunlap, were submitted with
the answer. Tho plans call for iail
three stories in height, containing
twenty-one cells 7xs feot, with baths
room on each floor. Provision is made
for the separation OF the male, and
female prisoners, and also for convicts.
The building is to be heated bv n
furnace.
Mr. Miller stated that it was his in
tention to have Mr.. Dunlap present and
explain his plain in detail, but this was
impossible as no was confined at his
home by sick ness
Mr.. Roy b. Smith, Commemorative
NeoeOhCV buo sanitary COn0l-
ton Of the jail and claimed that the
plans submitted did not improve it in
this respect To substantiato his posi-
ton he introduced a number OF wit
nesses.
Mr.. j. Z. Rawn, one of the Jail inspec-
tors, was tho first witness examined
He described the arrangement of the
old jail and thought that the whole
structure should BIO torn down. Tho
sanitary arrangements were very bad
anu tho plans submitted by tho city
engineer did not offer any Improvement.
Mr.. IL. .. Nicholson, also ono of the
jail inspectors, fully coincided with Mr..
Rawn. lie favored the employment of
Skilled architect accustomed to the
building OF jails and familiar with tho
sanitary arrangements of such struc.
lures to prepare plans tor new iail.
City Sergeant j. j. Traynham testi-
ned as to the number of prisoners con-
hneu in the Jail. In August, 1890, there
was an average of fifteen prisoners, and
In August, 1891, an average of thirtv
prisoners. Under the old arrangement
privacy was out Of the question and it
was impossible to properly provide for
the health, comfort, or cleanliness OF
the prisoners.
Capt w. w. Berkeley was the last
witness examined and he was very
strong in his denunciation OF the con-
dition OF the present structure. He
denounced it rs unfit in any particular
for the confinement of human beings.
at this point the case was adjourned
until o'clock this morning in order to
allow Mr.. Dunlap to be present and ex-
plain the plan prepared by him. CITY
Solicitor Miller informed TIMES re-
porter last night that since the con
struction Of tho old Jail there had not
