THE SENATE COMMITTEES.
Selections In Caucus Accepted In Open
Session.

Session.
Columbia State, Wednesday.
The result of the four hours caucus
Of Monady night was made known in
the senate yesterday, when the stand
ing committees of the upper branch of
the legislature for the next two years
were announced. This most important
matter was gone through with less
than the usual amount of friction
among the senators and, judging from
the list of committees, the choices
should in every case be satisfactory.
The chairman of the judiciary re-
mains the same as last session, Hon.
II. B. Carlisle of Spartanburg being at
the head of this committee. There are
nine former members Of this commit
tee and three new ones. Last sessions
committee consisted of eleven men,
bers, those who are not on this years
committee being T. NJ. Raysor and F..
P. MCGOWAN, not returning to the SEN
Ite this year
The finance committee also has the
same chairman as last session-Hon
w. L. Mauldin of Greenville. Seven
of this committee hold over from last
session. The new members are: Louis
Appelt w. r. Hough, J. S. Griffith. w.
]. Montgomery and Alan Johnstone.
The railroad committee has a new
chairman, D. T. McKeithan of Darling
ton. The ranking member Of this COM
mittee was not, according to custom,
elected chairman. There are five new
members on this committee also. Sen
Itor McKeithan was member Of the
oint committee to investigate railroad
conditions in this state in 1908.
Hon. ]. C. Otis of Cherokee is chair
man of the dispensary committee.
Here. too, the ranking member Of last
sessions committee was not appointed
chairman. This is an interesting sit
uation as Mr.. Otis is to lead the pro-
hibition fight in the senate.
