I: columbia, Jan. 27.-The leglsla-
turs. reeonvened to-day, after spend
ing yesterday in Charleston.
The members of the general as
=. sembIv left ON the Atlantic Coast
Line at I 80 o'clock yesterday morn
ING for Charleston, in response to the
kinvitation to visit the Citadel. Char
leston's hospitality is far-famed, and
it goes without saying that a pleas
ant day was spent by those in the
barty. The chamber Of commerce OF
the progressive city Of Sumter sew
eral days ago extended the legislators
an Invitation, which Was accepted, to
stop in Sumter shcrt while on their
way to Charleston, to meet the peo-
pie of Sumter and to partake OF
Eight refreshments, breaking the mo-
notony Of the trip.
There will be only two more days
his week for legislative work-to-
day and Saturday-the Clemson trip
coming on Friday. This is the third
week Of the session. The average
4 session being about six weeks, or
forty days, it is probable that the
session is now about half over. All
he elections have been. held and the
ast trip ir contemplation IS that to
= clemson Friday, 50 that there will
s,e nothing after this week to inter
apt the regular work.
There have been no new develop
,nents during the past several days as
~tp the expected fight for Statewide
prohibition. The Statewide pills
have received favorable reports from
maiorities of both the house and
! senate committees, and the fight may
be precipitated at any time. Iie
senate bill is scheduled to-day, de-
bate having been edjourned on it, un-
III this time, but on account OF the
: Fact that there will be no session
Friday, and Saturday usually being
an off day." so to speak, the Dill
may not be taken up until next week.
Representativs McMahan has a
bill in the house which prohibits the
i Vad4ertisiug in any newspaper OF al
yApholie liquors or beverages which II
akunk to excess viii produce intoxl-
saation, or the posting of such adver-
4isements in any public place. There
s now a law Or the statute books
which prohibits any Aliquor drum
ner" to solicit orders in this State
for whiskey for interstate Shipment
. s.nd the supreme court, ina declslon
handed down ON Tuesday. in Law
{ 4erls case, held that this law covered
the handing out Of circulars. by repre-
sentatives of whiskey houses. .c
The 6aly fight brought about in
either house by the bill for the es.
Establishment IF the new county OF
Dillon was on the question Of wheth-
er Dillon should be placed in the
fourth judicial circuit or in the
s rehabilitation, from which billion
: is taken, being in the twelfth els-
emit. The matter has been threshed
out in both houses, and Dillon goes
into. the fourth circuit. =.
The discussion Of the State Hospl-
tai for the Insane will probably be
provoked on the house bill which
would submit to the people Of the
- State the question of issuing bonds
10 the amount of $1,0O0,ooo for the
sonrpose of building two new plants
1.oae for the whites and the other for
1.-the colored inmates, carrying out the
Recommendations Of the joint lnves-
.tieating committee which recently
submitted its report. There has been
very little expression of opinion as
10 this matter on the part OF the
Z members 50 far, but the sentiment
seems to be in favor Of liberal treat
nent,. doing whatever may be neces-
sary for, these unfortunates who are
the wards Of the State.
