There were several interesting
matters in the legislature today.
Prominent among these matters
! which originated in the house, was
the recommitting of the dispensary
bill, introduced by Mr.. G. P. Sanders,
proposing to allow counties the rlgnt
to remove dispensaries from their
borders. The fate of the bill was not
settled at the adjournment yesterday
afternoon, but after a long discussion
this morning it was ''recommitted,"
which practically means the end of
the bill.
All elections will be held on Tues
day. The senate in considering the
house resolution today amended it by
making the election for dispensary
commissioner, trustees of the State
colleges, directors of the penitentiary,
and so on at $50 Tuesday. 1t had
been previously decided to hold the
judicial elections on Tuesday morn
ing. There was a long discussion
over the election, and it was finally
agreed to have them all on Tuesday.
So the legislature will hardly do any
thing else Tuesday except to ballot
on various elections.
The senate adjourned at 2 o'clock
to meet Monday at noon.
Senator Graydon, of AbbeVille,
presented a petition from laundry
men in the State asking that law be
passed charging license for laundry
agents of other States to do business
in this State as matter of protection.
The petition was referred to the com
mittee on commerce.
A favorable report was made on
the new jury bill, which was made a
special order for Wednesday.
When the resolution from the
house providing for elections by the
joint assembly came up for consid-
GRAFTON, Senator Sheppard made the
point that 10 the case of a vacancy
in the Office of state librarian the
governor had authority only to ap
point successor until the legisla
ture should meet, and not for the
full term. Whereupon the senate
agreed to the point made by the
senator from Edgefeld, and an
amendment was made to the concur
rent resolution providing that state
librarian be elected by the joint as
sembly on Tuesday next, together
with other officers to be chosen at the
same time, and the resolution was
returned to the house with the
amendment incorporated therein.
