This is the bill as it now stands on
third reading. OF course there may
be amendments on the third reading
and the Senate may, or may not, then
affirm its action"
Hard Fight on Bill.
The main proponent of the bill was
Senator Graydon of Abbeville. who
made some strong arguments in it's
favor. He contended in part that
there was no agreement of any kind
made at the last session by which
the Senate should feel bound.
Senator Walker made the principal
speech against the railroad rate bill.
Mr.. Walkers remarks were directed
in the channel that the legislature
had made a moral contract with the
railroads last year when the governor
and the officials of the various rail
road companies had conferred to-
gether and the governor had submit
ted his recommendation for no legis-
latlon to the general assembly. Mr..
walker also argued that it was not
right for the legislature to interfere
with the business methods of the rail-
roads in the mileage section of the
bill.
The drummers have what thew ask
ed for, that is to say. hereafter; pro-
vlded there are no further changes
made in the bill, mileage must be
taken up on the trains instead of it
being necessary to exchange mileage
for tickets.
Also the Senate stood pat upon
this implied agreement with the rail
roads and have not legislated 2l-2
cent rate.
The Senate adjourned until Tues
day, s p. m.

Little seems to have been accomp-

The great earthquake in Italy is one of the most stupendious calam- ities of modern times. Latest re- ports say that over 300, ,000 people perished. Whole cities were wiped out in the twinkle of an eye; small islands have disappeared and all Italy is in mental terror. Aid from all parts of the civilized world is being rushed to the strickened peo- pie by fast ships. Reports were slow in coming in. At first 60,0OO people were reported to have per ished, later 100, 900 and at last the total run up to 300. .000.
