OUR COLUMBIA LETTER.
From our Special Representatives.
COLUMBIA. S. C.. J1n. 81 ISn

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jlu. -, 1897.
After two weeks in harness the Legis-
litura presents the appearance of a steady,
we'll broken team. If great bodies move
slowly, then the present Legislature Is
great body. But not only in conserva-
tism of locomotion is the body to be call
ed great, but in absence from spite, NAL
ice Or party feeling, and real, genuine
desire to subserve the public interests it
is especially marked. It is composed,
both Houses, of new material, very large
ly, and of good material.
So far very little has been accomplish
ed, the passage by the House yesterday
of the antitrust bill being the only bill
of general importance that has reached
anything like an advanced stage. This
bill is known as the Rainstord bill. 1t
provides that the Attorney General may,
when he considers business corpora
ton is, in his opinion, interfering with
legitimate competition in the course Of
trade, apply to the Courts to have such
corporation deprived of the rights of the
Court. This, in effect, will prevent
trust from collecting bills in South Caro-
lima. It is measure modelled somewhat
after the Georgia law, but is considered
to be an improvement on that law. The
original bill excepted agricultural pro-
ducts and live stock produced in this
State while in the hands of the producer,
which would have allowed trust within
the State. That was stricken out and the
bill went through without opposition.
Especial privileges to none" was the
slogan.
The House is now passing bill re-
quiring all foreign insurance companies
doing business in the State to deposit
with the Secretary of State securities ag-
gregating $4,000, to cover any obligations
that might be incurred in the State. This
is aimed at wildcat insurance companies
which have been doing business here and
not paying their losses.
Representative h. G. Patton, of Colum-
bia, has introduceda new-district bill.
It's provisions are as follows:
Pee Dee District-Chesterfield. Marlboro.
Darlington, Florence, Marion and Horny.
Santee Dlstrict-G georgetown, Wlllians-
burg, Charleston, Berkeley and Dorches-
ter.
Edisto District-Or -Orangeburg, Barnwell,
Colleton, Hampton and Beaufort.
Wateree District-Fair6eld, Kershaw,
Richland Sumter and Clarendon.
Saluda District-Laurens, Greenwood
New berry, Saluda, Lexington and Aiken.
Northern District-Spartanburg, Chero-
kee, Union, York, Chester and Lancaster.
Piedmont District-Greenville, Pickens,
Oconee, Anderson and Abbeville.
The present week will be very busy
one, but the Legislature declines to pro-
vide for night sessions as yet. The work
is chiefly in Committee rooms.

General ,Coxy proposes to organize an
other party. He will try to stand on the
broad foundation of "Commonweap' in
stead of Washington grass this time. His
conference met in st. Louis on the 18th.
1t was very much down on the populists
in the late campaign and charges that
party with about all it has heaped on the
Democrats. Of course, in a short while
some of this group of Solons will again
discover the goal of party perfection in a
new organization that will hurl its ana
thomas at this as yet unnamed Coxey fol-
lowing, If factions are the stepping
stones 10 reform let the good work 60 on
till every man is party, when certainly
all will be suited.

occur-to pay damages to the family Of
the person lynched, seems to be dead
