THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Editorial Correspondence.

that the elections are over the leg
islature can get down to work.
There has been a great rush OF new
bills at this session. A great many
bills have been killed and none Of
very great importance has been
passed. The past week was broken
into by the elections, which took all
of Thursday. There was no ses-
sion on Monday and Tuesday.
Hon. II. II. Evans had easy sail
ing for chairman Of the board Of
directors of the dispensary, receiv-
ing almost two votes to one given
his opponent, though Mr.. McDer-
mott, who ran against him, is a
most excellent gentleman. The
vote stood SO to So in favor OF
Evans.
Mr.. W. o. Tatum, who was
elected dispensary commissioner,
is an Orangeburg farmer and a
member of the Legislature. He has
long been warm friend of the dis
pensary and is a successful business
man. He was elected without op-
position. n.-something a little re-
markable for so good position,
for the pay of this job is exactly
what We pay our governor, $1,000,
and more than the pay Of the chief
justice Of the supreme court. The
business of the institution will be
safe in the hands of Mr.. Tatum.
The other members Of the board
of directors elected are Hon. John
Bell Towill, member of the house
from Lexington, and young man
of high character and sterling quail
tiles of head and heart; and MIR.
II. w. Boykin, of Kershaw. Mr..
Boykin is a successful farmer and
was candidate for this same posi-
ton two years ago. These two
were elected on the first ballot over
two opponents Of high character, Mr.
J. B. Wylie, of Chester, and Hon.
r. II. Walker, of Barnwell, mem
Der of the present house.
The election of Miss Lime La
borde as State librarian over several
applicants for the place on the first
ballot is deserved compliment to a
most excellent and most deserv-
ing young lady.
The other elections were held on
Thursday evening and there were
few candidates. These included
trustees of the various colleges and
resulted as follows:
Members Of the board of trustees
for the South Carolina College, c. E..
Spencer, of Yorkville; Robert P.
Hamer, Jr., of Marion.
Trustees of Clemson Agricultural
College, G. Duncan Bellinger, of
Columbia; Jesse H. Hardin, of
Chester; Ivy NJ. Mauldin, of Pick
ems.
Trustees Of the State Colored Col
lege, ct Orangeburg, A. G.. Brice,
of Chester; J. w. Floyd, of Ker-
shaw.
Trustees for Winthrop Normal
and Industrial College, D. W. Nc
Laurin, of Marion; DR.. T. A. Craw-
ford, of Rock Hill.
Trustees for the Citadel, Col. G.
S. Gadsden, of Charleston; W. w.
Lewis, of Yorkville.
It is all a mistake about Mr.. l..
A. Sease being legislated out of his
Office as a trustee of Clemson Col
1eoe The committee to whom was
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1904-01-26

Mauldin, Of Pickens, was nomi-
mated and the three were voted for.
After the ballot had proceeded some
one suggested that term of Mr.. L.
A. Sease, of Newberry. had ex-
pired. An examination of the
journal of the house disclosed that
Mr.. Sease was elected in 1901, and
again in 1902, and as the term is
four years it was concluded that
the first election was for an unex-
pired term and the second for full
term, making it expire in 1906.
There should be record kept in
the Office of the secretary of State
and it would be done if these trus-
tees were commissioned, though
Mr.. Sease tells US he has his CON-
mission ior four years from 1902.
The same thing happened with
the trustees Of Winthrop, though
Senator Tillman was actually left
| off the board of that institution,
whereas in the Clemson matter it
seems only one too many was
elected.
DR.. Crawford has resigned and
this will require a new election and
it is presumed Senator Tillman will
be elected.
There were more candidates for
members of the board Of penitentray
directors than any other Office. Mr..
D. B. Peurifoy, of Salu'a who was
one elected, IS known to many
Newberry people. The other sue
cessful candidate was Hon. J. D.
Wingo, OF Greenville, a member Of
the house.
Mr.. Kibler has introduced his in
surance bill again this year. 1t
passed the house last wear but was
killed in the senate by very close
vote.
Mr.. Banks bill to require school
trustees to be freeholders was killed.
Mr.. Aull has introduced road
bill which has been published in
The Herald and News and bill to
provide for rural school libraries.
He had prepared a bill on labor con-
tracts but inasmuch as a bill which
was brought over from last year
embodied about the same provisions
he advocated it. Two bills on this
subject have passed the house.
They provide as follows:
Section 357. Any laborerwork-
ing on shares of crop, or for wa
ges in money, or other valuable
Consideration, under a verbal or
written contract on farm lands, who
shall receive advances, either in
money or supplies and, thereafter,
wilfully and without just cause fail
to perform the reasonable service
required Of him by the terms of the
said contract, shall be liable to pros
ecution for a misdemeanor; and,
provided, the prosecution shall be
commenced within forty days after
the alleged violation, and, on con
viction, shall be punished by i'm
prisonmenr of 50 days, OF to Be
fined in the sum of not less than
SO, nor more than SIoo, in the
discretion of the court; provided,
the verbal contract herein referred
| to shall be witnessed by at least two
disinterested witnesses; provided,
that the contract shall be valid only
between the original parties thereto
and any attempted transfer or as
signment of any rights Hereunder
shall be null and void.'
