The Legislature.
FRIDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Senator Dean introduced bill
to punish assault with intent to
rape. The bill provides that any
person convicted of assault with
intent to ravish shall be deemed
guilty of a felony and shall be
imprisoned in the peuitentiary at
hard labor for a term not ex-
ceeding thirty years.
Senator Manning, of Sumter,
introduced q bill establishing an
immigration bureau. 1t provides
for the appointment of a secretary
of commerce and immigration,
whe shall be appointed by the
governor, upon the rocommenda-
ton of the South Carolina I'm
migration ASSOCIATION. The SAL
ary of the secretary shall be ST.
$50 and that of the clerk $1,000.
The bill provides that $4,000
shall be appropriated for the pay
ment of expenses of the bureau.
In the house the question of
the state establishing a fertilizer
factory was discussed, but the
bill was killed. Record.
SATURDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The senate pretty well disposed
of its whole calendar with little
debate except on the fertilizer
bill and the shad bill.
The concurrent resolution con-
corning the former was adopted.
1t provides that Il committee con
sisting of two senator's and their
representatives be appointed to
investigated how much phosphate
* elk now remains in the beds of
tho rivers of the state and that
the committee shall report at the
next Legislature upon the adversa-
billty of tho state establishing a
fertilizer factory.
The senate adjourned at 9
o'clock, but sin the meantime it
passed the shad bill. Senator
Walker, of Georgetown, tried to
get in certain amendments, but
the senate voted against them,
and the bill will become law on
the governors approval.
The house toGay devoted itself
mostly to the transaction of rou>
tine business and it was agreed,
owing to the absence of many
