The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1911-01-18

| believe Alr M!tcnan plil vii!
have 4 stumpy road TO travel.
The Senator has introduced a
! bill for the elimination Of the OBJ
! iectional features OF the game
law. and he vent before the com
mittce 70 defend it. There ne
met Mr.. James Il. Rice. the Chief
Game Warden Of the State. TO
targue the matte: out. Afte!
hearing both Of Us the committee
asked tnat the bill he deferred to
see il :: general bill that will be
gotten Up vii! not be agreeable,
so the further hearing was post
poned until some time next week.
The Senator mas also intro
duced L bill relating to fish which
has the approves CT the Williams,
burg delegation. and Mr. Wilson
lof that delegation has introduced
4 duplicate OF the bill in the
Housc. I Will state that Messrs.
Reaves and Richardson are wait
in. for these game and fish bills
to help get them through, and |
suppose Mr.. Mitchuia will also
support them. but us yet nave
not heard FROM him on this sub
ject and do not know his views.
I am satisfied from what | have
seen already that the delegation
Will work together harmoniously,
eacl man IS left TO vote aS ne sees
tit. but all are deSirous to have
such local legislation as will be
of benefit TO the county.
nave withheld the county ap-
poiutments for the incoming Gov
ernor'S consideration. He will
be inaugurated or the 18th, after
which l shall present him wlth
the names OF those chosen in the
primary for appolntive Offices,
and the delegation will have
meeting 10 take up the matter OF
appointing :wo county commits
Sioncrs, and the township asses
SorS.
The feeling among the mem
bers at this time is to have a
short session and 70 do very little
general legislation. | am happy
10 say the liquor question has not
been mentioned. and | do not be
lieve it will be. With that out
Of the way ! do no: see any rea.
son why the legislature cannot
finish within thirty days.
On the 10Th, which is not a
legislative day, as it is Lees
birthday. the general assembly
has accepted an Irritation to go
to Winthrop College. This trip
is not at the expense OF the State
nor the college as many think,
and when the legislature goes on
a legal holiday it does not cost
the taxpayers anything. and all
this opposition manifested on roll
call is SIMPLY play to the gal
leries for the benefit Of those who
do not know the true situation.
The matter o: 4 road law and
county government will have the
attention Of the delegation rext
week. Us am waiting for bill
tha, have asked q lawyer at the
Manning Bar 10 prepare. This
gentleman has had occasion ;oI
give this matter considerable
study. he knows my views and
the views Of the county commits.
sioners: he is 70 go over the en-
tire road legislation and submit
TO me for the consideration Of the
delegation what he thinks Will
best suit the conditions here. As
soon as this comes will have a
delegation meeting and we Will
90 over i, 70 ma he such changes
as we think We should before
putting in bill shape for nitro
ductioN.
I have introduces! 4 bill at the
request OF the clc:.;; Of court TO
change tie personnel OF the jury /;
commission. out Sincc It's intro
ductlon have talked wlth others
and may withdraw the bill 20
change it :or something better.
AS is the uSuai custom there is
no session the tirSt Saturday. the
House adjourned until Monday
night. and the Senate until Mon
day at one O'Clock.
| hope ihat my next letter Will
be more interesting. ~
