The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1892-12-28


Two members rose and said that the
dignity of the House had been violated,
and the Speaker replied that he had
done all he could and that it remained
for the House to do what it chose to.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Perry apollo
gized to the House for the unparlia-
mentary language be had used, and
after the debate Mr.. Nettles followed
suit. Neither of the gentlemen apollo
gized to the other.
Charleston rejoices in her narrow
escape from what has been called the
"Dennis iniquity," bill to change the
boundary lines Of Berkeley so as
take in portion of Charleston and
give Charleston a part of Berkeley, and
to change the county seat of Berkeley
from Mt. Pleasant to more central
part of the county.
The Charleston delegation made q
hard fight against this, but were badly
defeated in the House. There were
loud lamentations which are now
changed into shouts of Joy on account
of the bill having met the same fate in
the Senate as the charter-forfeiture
bill-coutinued until next session on
account of being so low down on the
calendar.
The General Assembly was in ses-
sion thirty-three days and adjourned
at 7.15 O'Clock Saturday morning, hav-
ing been in session all Friday night.
About 200 acts were ratified.
It is said that the lie never was
passed between members inside the
hall until this session.
/ In answer to Senator Buist's ques-
ton, ''That makes the State practi-
cally a liquor dealer?' Senator John
Gary Evans of Aiken, answered: Seer
tainly, there's no use chewing words
about it."
