NO MORE BALLS
To Be Held In the State House
at columbia.
HOW MEMBERS VOTED

Members Decide That Use Of Hall
Of Representatives Should be Civ
en Only When There VIII be No
Removal OF the Carpet.
The house of representatives de-
cided Thursday that the new furni-
ture should not be removed, espcc-
tally the new carpet, which means
that the South Carolina club must
hereafter seek new quarters for
their annual ball held during the
state fair. The action Of the house
was not taken until there had been
considerable debate, but from the
vote of the members it could be seen
from the start that all parliamentary
= moves to defeat the exclusion Of the
-club would he Of no avail.
Mr.. Lanes resolution refusing tho
use of the hall of the house for any
purpose that would necessitate tho
removal of the carpet was taken up.
Mr.. Banks by the ways and means
committee thought that the resolu-
tion should be killed. 1t would af-
feet the South Carolina club and
their annual ball held in the state
house for years and while he did not
dance himself he thought that it
would be very small and narrow on
the part of the members of the house
to object to the use of the hall by
others. Mr.. Rucker spoke along the
same lines. On motion to strike out
the enacting words by Mr.. Banks,
the house refused by vote OF GO to
81.
Mr.. Howell Morrell then spoke in
favor Of the resolution, following
the explanation by Mr.. Lane. The
latter did not think the house should
turn over the use of the hall to any
body for any purpose. Mr.. Morrell
thought that It was wrong to use the
hall for balls, even though they we're
attended by some OF the leading cit
izens Of the State, including the gov
ernor.
\ MIR. Porter McMastcr spoke in fav-
'*jr Of Mr.. Banks motion to Kill the
resolution as did sevearl others AZ

the South Carolina club from
the provisions OF the var
ious paragraphs. The house, how
45. 1t was decided, however, to al
low the desks to be removed in case

Of state were killed with little dis
cussion and finally the clincher on
