SOME GENERAL LAWS.
No Really Important tate-Wide Leg
islation Enacted.

lSlatlon Enacted.
The legislature mas adjourned, writes
the Columbia correspondent of the
Greenville News, and If there was any
really important law Of statewide ma
ture enacted, It Is yet to be found on
the statute books. The more one
thinks of the work Of that session, the
more the fact dawns upon him that
very little was done. One thing can
be said about this legislature and that
is a marvellous number of local meas
ures were passed. This Is the last
session and the members are going to
have to go before tine people during
the coming summer and ask for re-
election and they will be able to recite
the wonderful work done for the peo-
pie at home.
Perhaps the most important state
wide measure passed at. this session
was the appropriation Of 100000 to the
weak schools Of the state and the en-
actment Of law providing for the in
spection of all commercial food stuffs.
The asylum was attended to in a

show that the legislature did not wish
to entrust the future upbuilding Of the
asylum to the present management.
