The Vote Last Night on Raysor-MannIag
Bill Indicates That Representatives Pre-
fer Present Management to Honest
Regulation.
HOUSE PUTS ITSELF IN A HOLE
There is Ground for Belief That the
Morgan High License, Local Option,
Free Liquor Monstrosity Was Merely
a Stalking Horse to Save the Dis
pensary Management.

Columbia, February 16.-The House
last night returned to the Senate with
it's compliments the Raysor-Manning-
Tillman bill This was done by vote
of 81 to IL and is indicative of the po-
sition of the House Mr.. Otis took the
position that the Senate had sent the
bill over without compliance with rule
81, which provides that body and title
of a bill should conform. He held that
the body of the bill amended certain
sections OF the dispensary law, where
as the title did not so indicate. Speak
er Smith held that the house should
determine whether the bill should be
rejected and sent to the senate for
amendment to the title. This did not
mean that the house rejected the bill
as that question has not been voted
upon but when the bill is returned
with an amended title another issue
may be raised whether such radical
ly new bill shall have to be read three
times in the House.
The greater part of the morning
session was devoted to the considera-
ton of fertilizer bill which has been
pending for some time and which has
the approval of the Clemson authori-
ties.
The joint committee on public print
ing submitted, a report yesterday en-
tirely generating the public printer
from any and all charges and express
ing entire satisfaction with the work
done ana the cost thereof.
The Senate concurred in the House
amendment to the bill changing the
name Of the South Carolina College to
university and the bill was ordered to
ratification.
An amendment to the dispensary law
introduced by Senator Holiday and
approved by Senator Christensen was
adopted whereby dispensaries cannot
be established in unicorporated towns
in Horny and Beaufort, they having
been legal in these two counties here
tofore.
Senator Blake called. up his bill with
reference to special courts. 1t pro-
vides that before special term shall
be ordered it must first be petitioned
for by a majority Of the bar associa-
ton Of the county and receive the en-
dorsement of presiding judge. In ad-
dition to this, the clerk must send to
the governor the number of cases on
the docket. After all this the COVER
nor is to decide whether the court
shall be ordered.
Senator Bake spoke in favor Of the
bill and Senators Hudson and Hay
against it, the whole discussion con-
suming much time along with the roll
calls, which resulted in the rejection
of the bill by vote of % to II.
Senator Blease Of Newberry moved
to Indefinitely postpone the bill to
prohibit beer and hotel privileges, but
it passed its third reading by a Is to
II and goes to the House, where it has
not yet been read the first time.
Senator Carlisle called up the buck
ct shop bill and a roll call was order
ed on the motion to postpone debate
to tomorrow. The result was that de-
bate was postponed by vote of 20
to 16, which very likely means the
end Of the bill.

POETRY.

Old Sumter is on rising ground,
She moves with rapid pace;
Her energy is still profound.
g She's bound to win the race.
Courage and pluck always succeed.
They never brook control;
In enterprise they take the lead,
They reach the promised goal.
Buildings, as if by magic wand,
Are daily springing up;
This end in view they move along,
They'll win the golden cup.
They lay aside each dind'ring weight,
And rear the concrete dome;
Then lay them fast and lay them
straight,
Provide for all a horne.
Outsiders will your valor laud,
When all your works they see;
And sing your praise to all abroad
Sons OF the brave and free.
Now, Sumter, hope and persevere,
S.: Give heed to all your ways;
Fail not Jehovah to revere
And sound abroad His praise.

BUSINESS MEN WORK FOR
NEW P0STOFFICE SITE

Business interests working with the
Commercial club public affairs commit
tee will take an active, part in bringing
about the selection Of a suitable site
for the proposed new Minneapolis post
office. The public affairs committee
met today and appointed committee
Of three, consisting of F. E. Barney. A..
G. Danenbaum and George Bertrand, to
keep in touch with developments and
report to the committee from time to
time.
Sites were discussed and many sug.
gestions offered by the committee. It
has been suggested that commission
representing the large interests Of the
city should be formed to secure and pre-
sent bids on sites to be offered. No
one person; or firm can offer, an entire
site suitable. for the proposed building.
It is probable that many small holding
will have to be handled separately, and
with each working Independently and
trying to make as much as possible de-
| lays may be occasioned.
It Is believed that commission rep
resenting the business interests of the
city could expedite matters by secur
ing options at the lowest possible fig
ure, and Offering at once in one lump
sum an entire site to the government
It is believed that this is the only way
the matter could be handled. The com
mission would work without expense tt
the city or the government. Because
Of it's acquaintance with local affair!
1t could determine a fair valuation or
all necessary property, and by mean!
Of the commission the business could
be handled quicker and better than il
any other manner.

BRIDGES NEED REPAIR
CITY'S BRIDGE ENGINEER DE-
UIAREs APPROACHES TO STEEL
ARCH BRIDGE ARE IN BAD CON-
DITION. -

Engineers who have examined the
two bridges across the railroad tracks
at the union station say they are in
poor condition. The gird+<a have tho
appearance Of being badly rusted and
other portions show the effect of the
ravages of time.
Bridge Engineer Oustad of the city
engineers department says that altho
the bridge has not been thoroly in
spected recently, it is known that the
two structures are not in frst-class
condition. The regular inspection of
last year revealed several weaknesses,
which the companies were directed to
repair at once and keep in repair.
Oustad believes it would be best for all
concerned if the bridges were replaced
at once by more substantial structures,
It is possible that when City Engineer
Rinker returns, which will be in few
days, the matter will be carefully
looked into and if necessary the bridges
will be- condemned.
The city is master of the" situation
in view of the important decision OF
the supreme court regarding railway
crossings, and instead of negotiating
and diokering as in the past, has simpl..
to issue an order that certain things
must be done in order to insure the
safety of the public, and the railway
must pay the bill.

HOT? NOT 50 BAD AS
SOME OTHER HOT DAYS

Notwithstanding the expressed opin-
ion Of 80 per cent Of the residents Of
Minneapolis, yesterday was not the
hottest day Of the season. According
to the thermometer at the weather bu-
reau, SO degrees was the maximum
registered, while on June % the gov
eminent thermometer climbed two de-
grees higher, the mercury perching on
the 90-degree round.
Probably the reason that SO many
Minneapolitans are complaining OF the
heat may be found in the statement
that it is unusually hot considering the
season Of the year. Last year, on
July 3, the maximum temperature was
only IS degrees, while q year ago to,
day the thermometer showed only 3
degrees hotter. At o'clock today
the official thermoscope registered 81
degrees.
A small-sized hurricane swept over
st. Paul early last evening, taking
trees and windows in it's flight and
blowing chimneys and a roof or two
from cottages at Bald Eagle lake. Lo-

maintain that the story was simply g

as full a representation on the county
organizations as the large republican
