The PROHIBITION FIl|BusTER.
HOUSE SPENDS SEVERAL HOURS
DISCUSSING BILL.
BY Vote Of 63 to "a the House Tn.
Dies Motion to Kill the BillHNum-
ber of Excellent Speeches Made ON
the Question Of Statewide Pro-
hibitiOn.

Columbia, Feb. 12.-The House
spent the entire legislative day dis
cussfng the liquor question. A num-
Der of excellent speeches were made.
but the chief interest was in the skir-
mishing that continued for SOME time
pefore the House went over to the
Senate to attend the first ratification
or Acts passed at this session of the
General Assembly.
A very pretty fight is in progress.
There was one vote today, and that
at hrst blush indicated that the State
wide Prohibitionists had a slight mar
gin. On what might be called a neg
ative vote, the record was 63 to 54.
This does not mean by any manner
that such will be the vote on the mo-
ton to pass the bill to it's third read
ing. The vote was on whether or not
the House would table Mr.. Sawyer's
motion to strike out the enacting
words Of the bill; in other words,
whether or not the bill should be kill
ed, not on whether it should pass.
Some suggest that it is a long and
weary way before vote will be had on
the direct question. Real flibustering
was witnessed today, and it was we'll
done. Some say they do not like fill
clustering. This opens up wide
range Of discussion. For instance, is
a lawyer in defending his cause justi-
fable in entering demurrers, or ought
he to go straight to the jury with his
cause? To get down to concrete
case. Was Tillman right in defeating
the confirmation of Crum by filibus-
tering, or should he have insisted on
vote after making his statement of
the attitude of the people of this
State?
The State wide PrOhbitionists are
not sure of their position; neither are
the local option advocates. but the
programme evidently is that there is
no use to rush things.

WANT RATES REDUCED.
railroad Commission to Give Hear,no
on Rates Of Fertilizers.

columbia, Feb. 12.-Owing to the
agitation for a reduction of various
freight rates in South Carolina. the
agricultural committee of the House
To-Day sent a subcommittee to confer
with the railroad commission on the
SUBJECT of the reduction of rates in
south Carolina on fertilizer. After
nearing the committee the railroad
commission adopted resolution pro-
viding that a through Investigation
be made in accordance with this re-
quest Of the subcommittee herein re-
ferred to, and that public hearing
be held in the office of the commits
sion at Columbia, S. c., on April IA.
1903, beginning at IL O'Clock NJ. for
the purpose of receiving information
from parties interested in the matter
of reducing or readjusting freight
rates on fertilizers in South Carolina.

Columbia, Feb. 1S.-In the senate
last night the bill providing for the
investigation OF the state Hospital for
the Insane came up for discussion
within one-half hour Of the time for
receding from business and debate
thereon was adjourned until today
after third readings bills.
But In the discussion OF the bill
there was intimation Of some start
ling revelations when the investiga.
ton is entered into.
Senator Christensen, the author of
the bill. stated that the Investigation
In wanted by the board Of regents and
the superintendent also; that many
citizens Of the State had asked for It.
The bill carries the power to summon
officials and get all assistance neces-
sary to carrying out the provisions of
the measure.
In some particulars the bill is pecu-
liar. The investigating committee
may take the testimony In private
with only the board Of regents pres
ent. 1t would be embarrassing for
some OF the necessary witnesses to 60
upon the stand and testify. The for
mer inmates would be the ones who
could give the hest information.
Senator Christensen explained tina,
he had affidavits and information
from many persons on this matter.
Senator Graydon stated that some
OF the inmates are crowded. three, four
and five In a room, according to in
formation he had: that some steps
should be taken for the humane
treatment OF the inmates; that tu-
berculosis patients are crowded along
with those who are not diseased; that
II was for the interests of health, res
toration to sanity and prevention OF
disease that the investigation should
be had.
Senator Ianey objected to the bill;
because he thought that $4,000 should
not be expended. as there Is now
such a committee.
Senator Montgomery called atten-
ton to the fact that the bill could not
very well be properly debated. as the
matter is one of great delicacy; also
that II the senator's would confer will,
Mr.. Christensen and those in possess
ion of facts they would not further
oppose the bill.

savannah May Put Street Through

savannah, Ca, Feb. lat is ex-
pected that one form of Savannah's
revenge on the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway for its removal of its shops
from here to Waycross will be the
opening of street through the spot
where the coal shutes of the railroad
stand here.
An ordinance was passed several
years ago providing for the opening
of the street, but it has been held up
by the city all that time Now it is de-
,lared by number of the councilmanic
committee having the matter in
charge, that there exists no reason
why the street should not go through.
as originally intended. This will
mean a large expense to the railroad.
1t is stated by this alderman that this
retaliatory measure would not be
stopped in council.
