row the State Legislature will meet at
noon. 1t is going to be one of the most
interesting session held in recent years,
having many matters of great public in
terest to consider.
Governor Tlllman's animal message
will be read tomorrow. He had not COM
pleted it last night. 1t is quite volumi-
nous.
The refuudment matter will he one of
the weightiest matters to be handled.
Whether the Governor will recommend
the acceptance of the 44 yer cent. offer,
remains to be seen. So tar the State
Treasurer has remained practically silent
in his report, and the lawmakers as yet
have nothing 10 outline pl ans upon.
THE PROHIBITION WAR.
So far the prohibitonists headed by
Mr.. Childs, have been unable to agree
upon i'll. They held long session
last week TO consider the iron clad bill
prepared by Mr.. Chllds but failed to
agree on anything. The ''house" seems
to be divided against itself, the extrem-
lists evidently wanting too much. An.
other meeting will be held this week
aud something will have to be done
then.
Mr.. Bleas, is here with three oils
bearing on the subject and they will get
in on the ground floor on "Wednesday
morning. First aud foremost will be
the bill now known as the "Blease BILL"
Than he will have bill preventing the
sale, the offering for sale, ETC., Ofllquor.
VINE, ETC., within a mile Of the polls on
election days, making the iiue $lO0 for
every violation.
STRIKING AT THE CLUBS.
Below is given a bill that the Prohibi.
ton advocates are goin, TO push along
with their other measures. 1t is an Ad.
mini stration measure, and will be intro.
duCed in the House ON Wednesday morn.
clubs:
Section l. That fro II and after the
passage of this act it shall be unlawful
for the Secretary Of State TO issue
charter to any individual, or set of per-
sons, Tor any social or literary club, or
other 80, ial or literary purpose, unless
the person or persons applying for said
charter files with the Secretary an alli-
davitl. signed by each corporator, that
the SAID club, or organization, does not
intend TO, and will not sell, keep Tor
sale, exchange, bactcr, or dispense any
liquor, wine, beer, bitters, or other in-
toXicatins spirits, for any purpose what
ever, either TO members or other per-
sons.
Section =. That in case any charter
is granted and Section of this act is
violated, said charter stall be declared
null and VOID, and forfeited, aud the
maker Of the affidavit upon which said
charter Is granted shall, upon conviction,
be punished as ii for willtul perjury.
Some Of the mo nbers of the body who
arc already here predict that the Legis-
lature this year will in the long run take
no action on the prohibition question.
Another matter of importance will be
the question of tho abolition of the
South Carolina College. There will be
big fight over that. II is lu'ly outlined
elsewhere.
The county government bill will prob
ably be introduced among the very first
ones in the Sen by Senator John
Gary Evans.
The county judge bill is likely to be
among the first new bills to be intro
duced.
