THE LEGISLATURE.

/ HIS IL lIlt IStSl NNNtA N1tN>N NAA>
LEGISLATURE will be in session. 1t
is scheduled to adjourn next Sat
urdav. as the limited time Of forty
davs with per diem will have
about expired 1t is to be hoped
that the members will not dis
grace the State next Saturday
night by keeping the hands Of
the clock turned back and run
ming the session away into Sun
day. possibly adjourning after
dav light Sunday morning, as
has sometimes been the case.
Their work is not so important
as to necessitate such action, and
were it so important they have
had sufficient time in which to
DO it before.
We have already commented
on the principal work Of the
session but a running sketch OF
the greatest measures which
have come up will not be amiss.
The appropriation Of fifty
thousand dollars to the Charles
ton Exposition was passed.
The child labor question was
postponed until the next session,
when it will come up in greater
sorce than ever. The wide tire
bill was postponed until the
next session, which virtually
means its death. The appropri-
alton Of an extra S10Q, 600 to pen
sioners in the Confederate war,
making the appropriation $500
o0Q, passed the House by a large
majority and the Senate will
hardly have the nerve to kill 1t
outright. 1t looks as if ii is at
least safe to expect an increase
Of 5000 for pensions, as the
Senate will probably compro-
mise the amount. The Senate
has killed the appropriation Of
an extra 100000 for the public
schools. and the State colleges
will have to have their usual APP
propriationS, as the most them
now have about as little as they
can afford to run on. y good
bill known as an insurance IN
spection bill was carried over to
next session, as was also all leg
islation on the convict leasing
system and matters touching the
county government law. The
dispensary was untouched, and
the Congressional redistrictlng
measure will come up again IN
full force next session.
The House has passed a bill to
permit the redemption within six
months of lands sold for taxes
and the Senate ought to kill it.
Graduates of the Charleston
Medical College will be allowed
to practice without further eS-
animation, and q bill to elect
county dispensers was killed.
AS effects Us locally, the fee
system of charges in the Clerks
office is restored and joint res
olution has been introduced by
NJ. Galluchat to inquire into the
financial affairs Of the county for
ten years back.
The general appropriation bill
is larger than ever before in the
States history, and it looks as
if the session has been a harmo-
nious one and viii end in good
feeling. This is creditable.
1t was necessary under the
constitution for the session to
meet and transact all "outine
business. Taken al in ali We
could see no need Of great radi-
cal legislation. They are there
fore to be congratulated that
they have done no great evil.

BUSINESS is BOOMING
SOUTHERN MAN SAYS NEW TRADE
ERA is HERE.

Business in the United States has
never been so brisk in all departments
as it is today, and the next five Years
will mark a trade epoch in our history
says E. ]. Lightner, advertising repre-
sentative of the Southern Leather cor
poration. II have never seen business so
generally good and so consistently on the
increase as at present. 1t is not confined
TO any one section of the country. The
most marked charact eristic is the bold
reaching out of local concerns everv-
where for business outside their local
territory. 1 find, for instance, a promi-
nent Missouri saddlery concern doing an
immense business in Minnesota and Da-
Kota, with but a few months exneri-
ment find Minnesota concerns work
ing vigorously in our far Southern terri
tory, and meeting with much success.
Small dealers everywhere are buvine
heavily, with the assurance of continued
prosperity. Competition in trade circles
is keener than ever. The unprecedented
branching out of American manufaatI1r-
ing interests in the Orient is being fol-
lowed by like venture on the part of
the smaller business houses IN the states.
Ihls increased competition is having a
revivng effect upon business generally
and promises great achievements for in.
terror commerce in the immediate fii-
ture.
