TIE LEGISLATURE.
HOUSH-TUESDAY.

The most important measure
acted upon by the House, and one
that will meet with hearty approval
of the Confederate Veterans and
many other persons throughout the
State, was the passage of MIR. Ruck-
er's bill increasing the pension appro-
priation to S200,000
The first matter for debate was
the bill to require municipalities to
provide drains for surface water.
The bill as introduced provided.
Section l. That whenever, within
the boundaries of any municipality,
the surface water from any street,
alley or other public thoroughfsre,
by natural drainage or otherwise,
may pass over the private lands or
property adjacent or adjoining such
thoroughfare, upon demand from the
owner or owners thereof, such mum
cipality shall provide sufficient drain
age for such water through open or
covered drains, except when the for
nation Of the street renders it i'm
possible along under such streets,
alleys or other tboroughfare, in such
manner as to prevent the passage of
such water over such private lands
or property.
This bill was thoroughly discussed
and after being slightly amended
passed.
The bill to non suit mortgage or
other paper on which suit is brought
unless it can be shown that such
papers are listed for taxation, was
after hard and lengthy fight, in
definitely postponed.
The perennial fight on the lien
law came up on a bill providing for
it's repeal, but the House by very
decided vote killed the bill in short
order.
During the discussion on the bill
to increase the pension Of Confeder-
ate Veterans from $l50,000 to $780,
900 luch opposition was develop
ed against the proposition to establish
soldiers home, one of the speakers
sarcastically and bitterly referred to
the "home" as the 'poor house,
where the needy veterans must go
because the State does not give
them enough to keep up their deelin-
ing days
The bill to divide the privilege tax
between Clemson College and the
public schools was recommitted so SIS
to give the representatives of the
college an opportunity to be heard.

vigorous protest from Mr.. Tatum,
and Representative Bolts, the colored
member from Georgetown.
Mr.. E6rd introduced a bill to
amend an act entitled an act to In
corporate the Newberry and Lswrens
railway company.
SENATE.
This body was in session for about
two hours and half but accomplished
but little work. Most of the time was
taken up in the discussion Of the bill

cials.

dustry in the lower part of the State,
was rejected, but motion to recon
slider brought the matter again before
the senate.

unfsvorable report on the house joint
resolution to provide for the appoint
ment of commission to inquire into

Is was passed and sent to the house
for concurrence. Several new bills,
some Of which are of interest, were
introduced.
Senator Douglass bill to authorize
county commissioners to give cash
aid to INDECENT Confederate veterans
at their homes, instead of receiving
them into the county poor houses,
was then given it's second reading
without discussion.
This action is significant, as it was
bill proposed in opposition to the
soldiers home bill.
Mr.. Beamguard's bill, which had
passed the house, came up with an
unfavoreble report from the senate
committee. Senator Graydon moved
to adopt the unfsvorable report and
the rejection OF the bill, and this was
done.
Mr. Robinson's bill to amend the
act providing for the punishment of
privily stealing from the person so as
to include in its provisions ''lsrceny

HoUsE-wEDNEsDAYs PROCEEDINGS.
A noteworthy incident in the house
was the fact that the committee on
commerce and manufactures made
favorable report, with notifications,
on the bill to prohibit children under
ten years of age from working in
cotton mills. The committee pro-
posed amendments to the effect that
the age limit fixed by the senate
should be II years instead of II.
The first matter discussed was the
bill proposing to create the Office OF
insurance commissioner and after
discussion the bill passed third
reading.
The House agreed to Mr. Eird's
resolution that the House in body
attend the good roads experiments
on Thursday.
SENATE
The Senate had two sessions morn
ing and evening. At the morning
session the bill fixing the salaries OF
county officers was the chief measure.
After long debate it was decided to
place county officials on straight
salaries and do away with the fee
system altogether. The bill provides
that the salaries for Lexington
county shall be: Clerk of Court
$500; Sheriff $500; Supervisor $3.50;
Auditor $3.50.
A number of bills received their
third reading among which were: to

The vote by which the fish bill
passed yesterday was reconsidered
and the bill placed upon the calendar.

A bill was introduced to repeal the

Mr. Spears wants a commission

tain what State officials and mem-
bers of the General Assembly use
railroad passes and free mileage
books.
The Senate last night, after having
spert the greater part of three days
discussing the bill to regulate sala-
ries of county officers, got the old
bill through second reading. But
it was in such a mangled and mutt
lated condition that special COM
mittee, consisting of four senator's,
was appointed to supervise the en-
crossing of the bill before it is to be
given it's third reading.
The morning session was taken up
by discussing the salary bill and the
salary Of the other officers being
fixed, those for this county being as
follows: Clerk of County Commis-
sioners, 500; County superinten-
dent of Education, $500; County
Board of Education, So for each day
necessarily employed and 5 cents per
mile for each mile necessarily travel
