BILLS KILLED.
! The Senate was in a bill killing hu-
! NOR on Thursday, and several bills
| that came over from the last session
were permanently laid aside. Quite d
, number of new bills were introduced
and referred.
| Lieutenant Governor Tillman has
received communication from COM
! mittee Of the ST. Louis Exposition. in
which it is stated that a committee OF
| fifty would visit this State to attend
] the Charleston Exposition and come
4. 70 Columbia to attend the legislative
session. The committee will come
: here about February l, the date set
! i}y the Lieutenant Governor at the
;; request of the committee. 1t is uu-
darsto0d that the committec will ask
| for IN appropriation from the state
| for South Carolina exhibit at tie st.
| Louis Exposition, but it may safely be
stated that no money for that purpose
| will be appropriated.
The Senate then adjourned 10 t,rI-
day morning.
THE NEW JURY LAW.
in the Senate on Friday the judici-
arv committee made a favorable re-
! port. with amendments, on the bill In
troduced Thursday by Senator Gray
don providing for new jury law. The
bill was made the special order for
Wednesday and from day to day until
diSposed OF. This is one OF the most
! important matters to come before this
session Of the legislature. as most or
the courts in the State are tied up,
50 to speak. for lack Of constitution
al Jury law. the lawyers being unwill"
ing to proceed with the trial OF cases
with juries drawn under the present
law. Tie bill has been very carefully
prepared and it is hoped TO get it
through both houses and have it ratl-
fed at an early day so that new juries
may be drawn in different counties.
These bills got their second reading
without discussion:
The house bill to authorize and en-
power cities, towns, toWShips, school
districts and counties to issue neg0tia-
bic coupon bonds for the refunding or
payment in whole or in part Of any
valid bonded Indebtedness heretofore
or hereafter contracted by the said
cities towns, townships, school dis
trictS. special school districts Or coun-
ties.
Mr.. Hydrick's bill to authorize the
county treasurer and county Superln-
tendent of the several counties to bor-
row money for any fiscal year to pay
school claims of said year.
Mr.. Herndon's bill amending the act
in regard to dispensaries: in Pickens
and Oconee. THE bill gives the money
in Oconee to the School fund, and in
Pickens to the road fund.
LAUNDRIEs WANT PROTECTION.
Senator Graydon. by request, pre-
sentcd memorial from the steam
laundries Of the State asking the leg
iSlature to pass law requiring that
agents for laundries outside the State
pay an annual license. The memorial.
which was>quite lengthy one, set
forth that the steam laundry business
is as yet an infant industry in this
State: that about 100000 is invested
in II different steam laundries; that
their business is being injured by
cheap competition from old established
laundries outside the State; that these
outside laundries have nc money in
vested in the State and paT no taxes
in the State. and should not be allowed
to injure home enterprises. etc., etc.,
through several pages Of typewriter
foolscap. The memorial was referred
to the committee on commerce and
manufactures. 4 bill requiring agents
for laundries outside the State to pay
license has already been introduced
in the house.
!.PPELT VOTED AYE.
After the conclusion Of all the other
business Senator Applet moved to g
into executive session for the purpose
of confirming the appointments Of
magistrates. etc.
The lieutenant governor put the mo-
ton in the usual manner: Those in
favor thereof will vote aye: those op-
posed will vote no." Nobody voted.
The chair is in doubt" began the
lieutanant governor, when Senator .Ap-
| pelt jumped up and gesticulated fran
tically. Il voted aye" he exclaimed.
Senator Applet plainly didn't want a
recurrence OF the incident Of Tuesday.
Very we'll" replied the lieutenant
= No
