SOME NEW BILLS.

There were 10 new bills introduced
in the house Saturday, making 153 in
all for this session. This is a pretty
good record. However the house
shows disposition to kill after the
bills get on the caledar. so that people
will not be inflicted with many new
laws.
Among the proposed measures intro
duced yesterday were the following;
Mr.. Kibler: To prescribe additional
punishment for violation OF the con-
cealed weapon and pistol law.
Mr.. Fraser: Relating to charter fees
of domestic building and loan assc-
Citations; and another bill relating to
negotiable instruments.
Mr.. Banks: To prohibit the appoint
ment Of other than freeholders as local
trustees of common schools. Also by
Mr.. Banks a bill to provide for the
election of the dispensary commission
er, board Of directors of the State dis
pcnsary and county dispensary.
Mr.. w. c. Smith: To submit to the
voters in 1904 the question of capi-
tation tax on dogs.
Mr.. Patterson: To extend the time
for the payment OF taxes without pen
atty to March 1st, 1903.
Mr.. DesChamps: To protect high
ways from parallel or intersecting
tramways.
Mr.. Lyles: Relating to wages of farm
labOrers.
Mr.. Quick: An anti-pistol measure.
Mr.. Bonner: To validate all street
improvement bonds issued by the city
OF Spartanburg.
Mr.. Coggeshall: To amend the law
relating to certain forms OF CONNER
cial papers.
There was a favorable report with
amendments) on Mr.. Richards bill to
increase each Winthrop scholarship
from s44 to 500.
There was favorable report on Mr..
Jeremith Smiths bill to authorize an
election in Horny county on the stock
law question.
The committee on commerce manu-
factures reported substitute bill in
the place of Mr.. Webb's, Mr.. D. o.
Herberts and Mr.. Aulls child labor
bills. The substitute is like the sem
ate bill.
There was an unfavorable report on

NO ELECTION OF DISPENSERS.

The first dispensary fight in some
time came up. The law has been let
alone for year or so. Last summer
some of the counties wanted to elect
their county boards and their dispen-
sers just as members of the legislature
are elected. The State Democratic COM
mittee would not permit this matter to
go into the primaries in these counties
in which a direct expression Of the
people was wanted.
Mr.. Holman of Aiken introduced a
bill to permit these officers to be
elected by the people. When the bill
came up yesterday for second reading,
it precipitated quite furry. but was
killed by an overwhelming vote.

perhaps, where he spoke at night. a
mighty concourse of people gathered to
listen to the formal address announced
for delivery. Principal E. l. Blackshear
OF the State Normal School for Negro
Youth, welcomed the guest of the even
ing TO the state; a representative of the
city government delivered an address of
welcome to the city. after which DR..
Washington was introduced by Mr.. Scott
from the very same platform upon which
they met for the first time five and one
half years ago, and from which he per-
formed a similar service at that time
Dr. Washington looked out upon a YER
liable sea of upturned faces and spoke
for nearly two hours to his audience,
composed of both races in nearly equal
proportions.
At the conclusion an ovation of sur
passing magnitude was given him. The
cause of the race has been helped for
ward immeasurably by the presence of
DR.. Washington, and mis- departure at
night after so short a stay was regretted
by blacks and whites aIike-alI of whom
would have heard him longer and hon
ored him more. He proceeded to Cali
fOrnia, where he is to spend fifteen days
in speaking at various centers of the
State. nCCably at Los Angeles before the
California State Teachers Association,
Leland Stanford Junior University and
the University of California.
1t has been a great week for all Tex
ans. and DR.. Washington's optimistic
sympathetic helpfulness, his good cheer
and all, have put new life and spirit in
those seeking to help forward the cause
of the race in the State.

THE FN-SI.ANE PENSION LEADER
EEFORE THE CHAIRMAN OF
THE PENSION COMMITTEE.

Mr. s T. Mitchell. of Kentucky, Presi-
dent of the National Industrial COun-
ell of America and Chairman of the Civil
Liberty Party which has for its object
the second Emancipation of the Negro,
held conference with Congressman
LoudensIager. Chairman OF the Pen
sion Cimmittee last Tuesday. The OBJ
ject of Mr.. MitcheI's conference was to
impress the Chairman of the Committee
with the Importance of having the House
Bill l'4G4 reported to the House for fav-
orabIe consideration.
Ii is reported that at the beginning of
the interview, Mr.. LaudensIager was in
clined to treat the matter lightly and
seemed To regard the matter as political
rather than racial, but when Mr.
Mitchell had presented his case in a Wig
orous and comprehensive way, showing
that the Pension Bill was calculated to
divide the suffrage of the Negro in New
Jersey and Ohio and other states at the
next election, Mr.. Loudenslager became
serious and paid a tribute to Mr.
MtcheIIs manly stand and advised him
To- have the Bill presented to the Com
m!ttee on appropriations.
The white papers in Washington, as
Well as the rest of the entire country,

have found their way here and have paid
the full need of praise and honor to the
great and unselish leader. The day was
crowded with incidents. DR.. Washington
? and Mr.. Scott were met at the Grand
Central depot by reception committee
of more than one hundred persons, while
a vast horde of blacks and whites gath
cred to catch one glimpse of the disting-
uished leader. No such crowd has gath
cred to welcome a public man since for
mer President Mckinley was here two
years ago. y banquet was rendered, a
drive around the city arranged, a meet
ing held with leading white citizens out
of which Will grow a larger interest in
the Negro and his welfare. In the after
noon an informal conference was held in
the Auditorium of Trinity NJ. E. church,
one of the most beautiful churches in the
South, at which addresses were made by
the visitors and also by a number of the
most prominent and representative edu-
Gators, business men, and public spirited
citizens of the State. Here free inter
change of opinion was had and out of
it will grow larger enthusiasm, and more
substantial service for the race on the
part of these leaders of their people in
this great StateS
But more significant than all was the
cordial and warm reception rendered DR..
Washington by the Houston Cotton Ex-
change, and Houston Commercial Club,
the city's two representative business
organizations on the floor of the Cotton
Exchange, at which place DR.. Washing
ton spoke by special invitation to the bus
mess men of Houston. The men who con-
troll the great business interests of this
richest of Texas cities were proud to do
honor to the honored representative of
our people 1t was an inspiring sight to
see the man of dark visage surrounded
on the floor of the mart of trade by the
representatives of Commercial Houston.
To say that Mr.. Washington charmed
and delighted his hearers is to feebly ex-
press the demonstrations of approval
that were in evidence during and after
his address. The appeal for his people,
for mutual help, and sympathy and for
bearance, was eloquent and will do good

Over hundred graduates were present and made a beautiful picture seated at a number of small tables which were grouped about two large @nes, at which were seated the speak Ars and the class of 1908.
 The exercises were preceded by the singing of the ''Te Deum" and ntany an the convent chapel. Then the grad mates repaired to the hall, where after luncheon, during which music was fur nished by a simplex from DTiggs 6 Enhth's, the toasts were given Mrs Charles A.
