PLANS FOR NEW CAPITOL.
BUILDING CONSIDERED UOyu,E
COST ABOUT $4,000, 900.
Members of Special Legislative Com.
mitfee Inspect Designs as Prepared
by y. W. Todd.

Al tne SESSION OF the general assem-
oiy Ill 1910 special commission was
named by Speaker Whaley to make
an investigation and report on the
feasibility OF enlarging the State
mouse. Among the members Of the
commission were Mendel L. Smith of
kershaw county, now speaker, and A..
w. Todd, member of the house
from Charleston county.
Tbs commission has been hard at
Work for the past two years and at
the last session request was made for
more time to complete the work.
A. w. Todd is we'll known archi-
tect and he has prepared plans for
me enlargement of the State house.
According to the plans Of Mr.. Todd
tre improvements would make the
capital one OF the handsomest in the
world. The portico plans now used
are considered second to one buiId-
ihs' according to experts These
plans call for the expenditure of So
100000 within three years. These
plans will be submitted to the gem
eral assembly and 1t is expected that
some definite action will be taken.
For the past several years there
has been much discussion as to more
room for the State officials. When
the general assembly is in session
there is little room left In other build
ings There has also been much dis
cussion as to building for the Su-
preme court. Under the plans of
Mr.. To6d there would be special
quarters for the Supreme court in the
new State house. The dome on the
building would be changed, modelled
probably after the dome on the capi
toi at Washington, AID there would
be two wings TO the present struc-
ture. The original Niernsee plans
called for a beautiful tower, camping

lie said that if he thought that by
doing 50 he could get the roads
sooner he would take the matter to
The Supreme Court at once. but as
it is doubtful if the case could
come up for a hearing before the
legislature meets again, it may be
better TO let the matter drop until
then when a new bill will be passed
by the legislature calling for "A new
vote on the matter Of issuing the
bonds.
Mr.. Jennings stated that he would
find out when the case could come
before the Supreme court for hear
ing before he would appeal from the
decision of the State Board of Can
vasserS. As ii was the decision made
by them was on a technical point and
on a matter which had not been
considered at all up to the time that
the case was taken before them for
hearing. Mr.. Jennings further
stated that as matter OF fact the
decision was based on wrong conclu-
sions, for the illegal voters at the

OF citizens and civil authorities to follow
him on his march 10 the capital.
Word was sent TO the city that by
III o'clock The rebels would be in posses
sion of the town. From the remaining
residents Il committee was hastily named
and sent TO Colonel Fieueroa. This COM

thousand, marched into the town. Not q

scarcely disturbed by their coming.

Barra looked disappointed today when he
stated that owing 10 the non-arriVal OF

not announce the personnel OF the new
ca binet.
The condition OF President Diaz WAS
reported as showing further improve
