THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Claims for Damages for Animals
Killed by State Veterinarian
Rejected.
Bill TO GIVE Five Thousand Dollars Year
to Aid in Establishing Rsral Libra
ries Passed.

Columbia, Feb. 8.-The House to-
day devoted the greater portion of its
time to the rejection Of the claims for
stock killed by the State veterinarian.
The claims in themselves amount to
but little, but it is the precedent and
principle that is involved.
Much time was spent in the discus
sion of the bill which sought to give
ten dollars worth of encouragement
to the establishment Of rural libraries,
This money will come from the State
treasury and was to be limited to
So, 600 each year.
For great many years there have
been various propositions looking TO-.
ward the recording Of marriages. To-
day, for the first time, the House
passed bill proposed by Mr.. Ford,
of Fairfield. 1t is very simple and
plain bill. and is distinctly step in
the right direction, as there can be
no possible connection between a SIM
pie recording OF marriages without a
fee and tendency toward "a divorce
law.
Mr. Stackhouse's bill, to guard
against the introduction of the boil
weevil into this State, was passed
with an amendment looking to tie ex-
clusion of hay, oats and cotton seed
from Texas.
Mr.. Haskell secured the passage to
second readig of his bill to amend
the law as to homesteads so as to
make the statute law the same as the
constitutional provision rs to home
stead exemptions.
No new bills were introduced today,
as the House has decided that it will
receive no new measures except
through committees.
There were 48 bills on be Senate
Calendar for a third reading. Of
these IS were of only local concern
and we're passed. A great majority
of them related to schools and the
voting of bonds for them.
Among other bills read the third
time was the one to require private
banking institutions receiving depos-
its to make quarterly reports; to ap-
propriate 81, 500 to COL Tribble for
