LEGISLATIVE AFTERMATH
Some Of the Measures Left Un-
touched by General As
:embly.

The State.
By many the session Of the legis-
lature just closed has been character
lied as the "hands off session. An
examination of the senate calendar
for Tuesday, January II, 1910, the
first. day Of the next session of the
general assembly-shows that this
term is quite appropriate when ap-
piled to the 1909 session. Many bills
were not reached that were considered
of great Importance. In fact, during
the entire session there was cry after
cry for bills of Statewide interest to
be considered. but, as all now know,
the session was one of ''local bills,''
and, until the last week none Of the
measures Of State wide interest we're
considered. That is to say, the bills
which all considered of Statewide in
terest, for naturally, each senator con-
sidered his bill Of more Importance
than any Of the others on the calen-
dar.
When the senate gets down to work
in 1910 the first bill on the calendar
to be taken up will be Mr.. Bass bill
for the protection of game fish in
the State of South Carolina and for
repeal of certain laws relating thereto,
a special order during the past ses-
sion but now the first third reading
bill on the senate calendar. This is
the measure which created a three
days discussion in the senate and
there We're a number Of amendments
proposed. The purpose Of this meas
ure is to protect game fish from being
caught with seine and net and to pro-
hibit the sale of such fish, except
when caught with hook and line, dur
ing certain seasons of the year. The
other Audubon society bills are still
ON the calendar for consideration at
the next session.

the third is directed against a pro-

that involving the property owner,
