FIVE AND ONE-HAIF MILLS.
That Levy Necessary to Meet Extra
ordinary Appropriations by Leg
islature.


islature.
'By vote of 55 to 30, the house
Saturday refused to adopt Mr.. Nash s
amendment which would have provid-
ed for levy Of five mills in State
taxes as against the levy Of five and
half mills recommended by the
ways and means committee. Mr.. Nash
thouht the raise from four and one
half mills to five and onc-half mills
too much but after considerable dis
cussion the amendment for raise Of
only half mill was voted down.
On the bill to fix the levy and
raise supplies for the year the fight
commcnced on the first section which
made the levy five and one-half mills.
Mr.. Nash said this was TOO nigh
He saw no reason for an increase be-
cause the income would be larger.
The State would also receive money
for the sale Of the dispcnsary buill-
ing.
Mr.. Banks. chairman Of the com
mittec. pointed out that the money
from this sale would go to the educa-
tional fund. lie also read figures
shown" that the State would have a
deficit at the end Of the year even
with the increase in levy.
Mr.. Aull also pointed out that the
house had appropriated $4,000 for
the Confederate infirmary and $24,-
! 600 for the Winthrop dormitory,
neither being in the appropriation
bill. This would increase the deficit
to about $4,000. The house had in
creased the appropriation about $780,
over last year. The time for the
house to consider economy was when
the appropriations were up and not
wirr the levy to meet these cxpen-
SGs.
The Nash amendment to reduce the
levy 10 five mills was first adopted by
Il vote Of 80 to 81. but on motion of
Mr.. Sawyer. this motion was recon-
sidrrcd and Ny ii vote Of - 10 80 the

Labor Contract Law Will Be Acted

Week.
Special to Herald and News.

Special to Herald and News.
Columbia, Feb. l7.-EThc farm lab
or contract aw, which 20 the ayricul-
tural interests Of the State is the
most important matter before tae
present general assembly, will 90 to
free conference committee, as the
house and senate have been unable
to agree on the bill which should be
passed. The house insists on the bill
drawn by It's judiciary committee and
The senate on that lrawa by it's .,,-
dietary committee, and the two bills
are radically different. While there
has been much debate in each house,
especially the senate. this matter has
been discussed but little on the floor.
The lien law will not be repealed at
this session, so ii at present appears.
The repeal bin, having passed the
house both this year and last by IL
large mapority, has been rcpeetel by
the senate each time. However, the
senate, after voting the repeal down,
turned around and voted for repeal,
but killed the HyArick bill prohibit
i'll" mortgages on unGrown crops;
then the senate killed the repeal bill,
restored ii again and again killed il,
SO that il is probably good dead now.
The proposition now up is TO sub
nit the question Of repeal to the pri-
mary.
The house having passed II bill to
create a new judicial circuit, on ac-
count of the congestion of the court
in Richland principally, the senate
has amended the bill SO as TO add still
another circuit, and the bill now goes
back to the house. The 10Th circuit
is 10 be formed of Georgetown. Flor
ence, Marion and Horny; the nth Of
Lexington. Edecield. ald Salnda. and
il new Judge will havc>to be elected in
each.
The senate will have its final vote
today on the rate bin. and the Car
liSlc bill is now before that body, as
the substitute for the Toola bill. From
previous votes on the question, it
would seem that the rate bill will
pass.
The State levy, as fixed by the
house, will be five and onc-half mills.
The effort TO reduce ii 10 five mills
did not succeed, as the aouse knew
the appropriations. amounting to over
| one and onc-half million dollars, will
require levy of at least five and one
half mills.
General amendments to the Carey
Cnthran law are contained in the bill
passed by the house on Friday. This
bin. drawn by Mr.. Cothran, seeks to
remedy such abuses aS have berl

tor Crouch, on the subject Of forcing
di>pensaries on willing towns, have
already passed the senate, similar to
provisions incorporated in the Goth
ran bill.
The house has also passed the bill

May 16 is the last day upon which
delegates TO the Chicago convention
can be elected, and the credentials
of all delegates and alternates must
be forwarded to the office of the Sec
rotary Of the National Committee at
Washington before May ct. Within
the next three weeks, therefore, some
fast: work must be done. The total
number Of delegates thus far elected
is 546. Of these, 278 are claimed
for Secretary Taft, 254 Of the total
being uncontested. Out OF 81 unin-
structed delegates, the Taft mana
gers lay claim to at least So. The
summary Of delegates allotted to the
"al1ies" is given as follows: For
Fairbanks, 80; Cannon, 46; Hughes.
AZ; LaFollette, rs; Knox, 81; total,
2O7. With each weekly statement
the Taft total has been steadily in
creasing, and the managers see no
reason for relinquishing their belief
that the War Secretary will be n0m-
mated on the first ballot. If the tide
toward Taft is maintained at the
present rate, his success will be 50
safely assured within a fortnight
that the Chicago convention will
simply take on the form Of a ratifi-
cation meeting.
