ed in a perfunctory sort of a manner
and as there was nothing else to do
the house adjourned until today at
noon.
Another short session Of the senate
yesterday lasting only forty minutes
is about the most that can be said Of
it, nor will any steady, tangible work
be accomplished until after the memo
rial exercises today in commemoration
of General Wade Hampton, and the
elections next Tuesday are all over.
The friends of the various candidates
are hard at work, and in consequence
a majority of the more important
measures are still tied up in the COM
mittee rooms.
Mr.. Marshall's child labor bill has
run the gauntlet Of the committee on
commerce and manufactures end has
been reported favorably, without
amendments, also the compulsory edu-
cation bill, a report on which was
made day before yesterday.

came back to the senate with major
ity report against it, the minority
making report in it's favor.
\ special message was received from
Gov. Hayward announcing the resig-
nation Of Assistant Attorney General
