vet. That stage has been reached
by not single proposition so far.
An outlook of what may be done is
the only thing possible now.
The upper House has voted to
increase the Governors salary to
$4,000 from $1,000; State officers
from $1,000 to $9,95O, This body
has also passed resolution for the
creation of a commission to look into
the necessity and advisability of
building new Governors mansion
and building for the supreme court
and those officers who have no offices.
The House has very important
measure before it as to school taxa
ton. This proposition, which comes
from Mr. Z NJ Ruckel, is to provide
for two funds, one for white schools
and one for cGortd schools. The
taxpayer is to indicate to which
fund his money is to so. In the case
of afoleign corporation paying taxes
in ~ State, South C&rolinian be
desig ginated as a director whose only
duty will be to indicate to which of
these two funds the taxes paid by
his corporation shall go. 1t will be
readily appreciated that the real OBJ
iect of this bill is to secure the bulk
of the school taxes for the white
schools.
Of course the railroads are receiv-
ing their full share of attempted
legislation. 1t will require an entire
page of THE RECORD to give even
an enumeration of all the bills
directed at these corporations. They
range all the way from requiring
electric headlights on locomotives
to regulating the acceptance of mile
age, and from requiring that all re-
pairs shall be done in this State, to
revising freight rates and c'assifica-
tlons. However, there is too much
fairness among the members of the
Assembly to pass anything that will
work an undeserved hardship on the
railroads. By the way, how do you
account for the fact that you can
always and under all circumstances
find people who are ready and anx-
ious to jump on the railroads, but
are silent as the tomb about express
companies and telegraph companies?
There was a public hearing before
the two committees on the dispen-
sary last Thursday on the State. wide
prohibition bills. The hearing might,
very properly,be called a prohibition
rally, Many of the most prominent
leaders of the "drys'' in the State
attended and several strong address
es were made and numerous peti.
tions, signed by hosts of people,
presented. 1t is probable that the
fight on the whiskey subject will be
begun the latter part of this week or
the first of next, and it promises to
be right warm. The opposing forces
are not "drys'' and "wets," but
Statewide prohibitionists" and
"local optionists. Last Wednesday

Senator Bass presented to the Senate
petition, sent him from Scranton,
asking State vide prohibition, which
petition was signed by something
over five hundred people. Similar
petitions have come in from all over
the State.
On last Thursday Justice Ira B
Jones was elected Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court by vote of sc
to 65 for Justice Eugene B Gary.
The latter is the senior IN length of
service and for that reason was
thought by some to have the advant-
age. The selection of Justice Jones
should not be construed as refec-
tion upon his senior, but Mr. Jones
was regarded by the majority to be
most exactly fitted for the chief JUS
ticeship. Mr. Gary Is hard worker,
"a good judge and very useful man.
The House expects to take up
the lien law tomorrow, Tuesday.
Further then this there is nothing
new to add to what was said in this
correspondence last week.
A very important measure which
went through the Senate last Fri
day was a bill striking all time
limit out of the recording act except
as to chattel mortgages, land reducing
the time as TO these from forty days
to fifteen days. Should this measure
pass the House, further and fuller
attention will be called to it,
A committee of citizens residing
in the Bruinton church neightor-
hood appeared before the Williams
burg and Clarendon delegations one
day last week asking, in word,
that Williamsburg appropriate
money to help build bridge across
Black river, in Clarendon county
near the church above mentioned.
OF course such proposition was
not entertained for a moment ser
iously. The idea of one county
spending the money of her tax pay
ers in building bridge in another
county is not to be thought of.
Senator Bass has introduced two
other bills on the subject of fish,
birds and game. He, in conjunction
with others, is striving to get these
matters in proper, thorough and
systematic shape with the object of
accomplishing definite results. These
measures of his are too numerous
and lengthy to even outline here,
but later on when legislation upon
them has taken definite shape,
synopses will be given.
On next Thursday .here will be a
hearing before the Williamsburg
delegation upon the stock law ex.
emptions in the Cedar Swamp and
Bloomingvale sections. Some want
the act creating these exemptions
repealed, while another party desires
them continued.
Senator Bass has in preparation a
bill providing for the gathering,
preservation and publication of cot.
ton and tobacco statistics. All gin.

The SECOND WEEK OF
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
A BUSY one In The SENATE
HOUSE HAS DONE and Is DOING MOTH
lNG-IMPORTANT MEASURES.

The Capitol, Columbia, January
25:-The second week of the AS
sembly closed and the third opened
with the Senate breaking all its pre-
vious records by being right down
at wook in good sober earnest, and
keeping at it too. On the other
hand the House has done practical
: " nothing and is still at the same
business. This is g complete rever-
sal of the order of things which OBJ
tanned in the past. For this unique
state of Affairs two reasons may be
given: There are no Construction

who will rot work themselves, do
not try to prevent others from work
ing. In the House there are a great

these raw pccruits imagines that he
is of ysst importance, feels that he

Senator Clifton's bill provides
for commissioner to investigate our
system of taxation and recomend
improvements. This subject is OF
vast Importance, and 1t Is hoped
that the House will have the good
sense to do as the Senate has done,
pass this bill. Our cumbersome,
dishonest and silly system Of assess
ingproperty and levyins taxes should
Ne thrown aside for all time.
VA bill passed the Senate Friday
making the penalty for assault with
intent to ravish, death, but permit
ing a recommendation to mercy
which would leave it to the judge to
fix the sentence at from four years
to life, and providing that the pros
ecutrix may testify in the presence
of the judge, the accused, the solici-
tor and the stenographer and the
testimony afterwards read over to
the jury. This bill provoked much
discussion, as many regarded the
,sasure dangerous one. Sentiment,
sowever, which with respect to GER
sain things is more powerful with
us than sense, demanded the passage
of an extreme measure to stop this
class of assaults.
Of course it will be understood
that this writer is only endeayoring
to give an idea of the most import
ant steps that are being undertaken.

terday's closing. The rumor was that
near the bottom of this decline a we'll
known operator let go a big line Of
long cotton. Toward the close of the
session., shorts took profits very free
~, Tightening their load over the
week end. This caused a partial re-
covery, the market closing steady at a
net decline of 20 to Fl points.
Prices in the future market show
a decline of SIS to sc points compared
with last weeks closing. This is the
result Of enormous liquidation, follow
ing wild speculation for a rise. Bears
took advantage Of the over-bought
condition of the market. and at this
put out large lines Of short cotton
which the ring was unable to absorb.
No news of bearish import was re-
celved during the week. The de-
clines were all in the nature Of a re-
action.
The gossip Of the market is that
at the highest prices Of the season,
which were reported Tuesday, lead
ing operators on the long side sold
out, which started the reaction. AT
the close of the week it was more Of
a two-sided market than for many
weeks past.
In the spot market prices show a
net loss of only lie, which slight de-
cline is due to the fact that spots
did not fully share in the rise in
futures.
Sales on the spot this week
amount to 1880 against 5,165 last
week. Sales to arrive ALSO bales
against 1925 last week.

New York, Nov. 6.-The cotton
market opened unsettled at an ad-
vance of S to II points on the active
months in response to the cables, but
3 points lower on September under
continued liquidation. There was con-
siderable support at the start owing
to the bullish weekend statement, but
the market soon weakened under gem
eral selling attributed to reports from
eastern sections of the belt of a slack
spot demand. Prices during the mid
die of the morning were only 2 to 3
points net higher on the active
months The market closed steady
with prices net 10 to 81 points net
lower.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
MiSgivings in the Money Market
Cause Downward Tendency.

New York, Nov. 6~.-Misgivings in
the money outlook was as much re-
sponsible as anything for the down
ward tendency Of h prices Of stocks
and the feeling of the money situation
is based not so much on the tone
of the market as the suspicion Of the
active measures necessary on the part
of powerful capitalists to conserve
such ease in none rates as has been
accomplished thus far. There has
been, besides. an actual hardening of
money rates on time in the latter part
of the week and a resumption of
active demand for loans for the shorter
periods.
The further pressure of Pennsyl-
vania today in connection with the
offering of new stock at par was a
factor in keeping alive an Uneasy
feeling over money market resources.
More consideration was given today to
the weeks loss III ash by the banks
indicated by yesterdays preliminary
estimates.
