AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Senate Kills Bill Providing For it.
Abolition-V0te Recorded p
to Is.

COlumDla, JAN. IT. liz oonS'e0
cleared the calendar Of a large number
Of uncontested matters this morning,
held a long debate on the department
of agriculture, killing the bill Wh1cn
nroposed to abolish the department;
listened to an address by Judge Alton
B. Parker, of New York; heard a long
message from the governor relative 10
his controversy with certain Northern
papers on the burning of Columbia,
and at 2 o'clock recessed until 8 p. N.
# also restored to the calendar the
bill it killed last night permitting
trains of solid freight cars to be run
through the State on Sunday and re-
ferred the bill to the committee on
railroads, which met this afternoon.
Message From Governor.
It was just as Judge Parker con-
cluded his address that message was
announced from the governor. The
MESSAGE concerned the articles the
governor had written the Northern
PAPERS relative to the burning of CO.
iunbia by Sherman and the yankee
army in 1865, and was a long docu-
ment. which took almost half an hour
to read. When the reading clerk was
about half way through it Senator
Crosson objected to further reading,
saving that most Of the Information
contained in it was found in Thomp-
sons footnotes. But the reading pro-
ceeded a little further when Senator
Weston Interrupted and moved that
the further reading be dispensed with
and the message printed in the Jour-
nal. The Richland senator said this
was no discourtesy to the governor,
that the senate did not read the mes
sage from the compt"o -ar general.
Senator Clifton insisted that the mes
sage be read and the senate voted to
Law the Richland senator's motion on
the table. The reading was then con-
cluded, but not without a good many
interjections and side comments by
the senators. The Northern editors,
who insisted that Sherman did not
brrn Columbia, were denounced by
the message as a set of liars.
Bills to the House.
important matters which were pass
ed and sent to the house this morning
were:

demeanor to collect or attempt to COL

night, in short order the act provld-
ing for rural police for Cherokee coun-
ty and the act relating to the Indus
trial School at Florence. The hrst
was passed unanimously, and the Sec
ond 35 to l, the lone vote to sustain
the veto being cast by Senator Strait,
of Lancaster. Both Of these have al
ready been passed by the house over
the veto and they are now enacted
into law. Other vetoed measures will
be considered tomorrow.
The senate by a vote of 20 to II re-
fused to kill the bill permitting Or
angeburg county to vote on the ques
ton of re-establishing the dispensary.
A discussion of the whole liquor
question was then launched and was
in course of debate when the senate
adopted a motion, offered by Senator
Lawson, and adjourned to meet to-
morrow at II a. m.
By a vote Of 20 to s the senate
adopted the motion of Senator Stew
art and killed the bill permitting
trains of solid freight cars to run
through the State on Sunday. The
York county senator made strong
plea for Sabbath observance in calling
on the senate to kill the bill.
The senate this morning defeated
all attempts to forestall or change the
anti-cigarette bill Of the senator from
Edgefeld, voted down all proposed
amendments by two to one vote, re-
fused a stringent measure offered by
Senator Applet making it a misde-
meanor to smoke cigarette and pass
ed the anti-cigarette bill to third read
ing, it emerging unscathed from the
assaults Of the opponents. Senator
Lawson, of Darlington county, one of
the tobacco raising counties gave no
tice of general amendments to the bill
On third reading, which ir nothing
more than a notice that the fight
would be renewed before the bill left
the upper chamber. The senate went
on record as favoring the bill 27 to
II in voting down an amendment
which would have defeated the present
measure It will undoubtedly be en-
acted into law if the house is as much
against cigarette smoking as the up
per chamber.
Senator Hardin's bill raising assist
ant professors in Clemson college to
the rank of full professors passed and
was sent over to the house. Senator
Stuckey's bill relating to the employ
ment of an auditing company to eX-
anime yearly the books Of all State
officers provoked some discussion.
Senator Laney thought the present
method Of having the examination
made BY the legislative committe the
best, while Senator Lawson, the SEN
ate member of the legislative commit
tee, was of the opinion that the COM
mittee ought to be empowered to ex-
anime all State officers books and be
allowed to employ an expert account
ant whenever desired. Debate On the
measure was finally adjourned until
tonight.

At Mr.. Asquith.

Dublin Mary Leigh, Gladys Evans,
Lizzie Baker and Mary Confer appear
ed in the Police Court here on the
charge of throwing a Ratchet at Prime
Minister AsQuith, of attempting to set
FIRE to a theater and OF having in their
possession infammables for illegal
purposes. All the accused were com
mitted for trial.
The police testified that canister
which apparently contained gunpow'
der had been exploded in the theater.
They had found on Gladys Evans q
bag Of gunpowder, portion of the
theater carpet saturated with petrol
cum and a basket full of lighters.
Three bottles Of benzine and tin
of gunpowder also had been discovered
by the police authorities. Their testi.
mony brought out the fact that many
I lives had been endangered by the fire.
The Leigh woman admitted hurting
the Ratchet at Mr. Asquith's carriage.
In all eight women were arrested
in connection with the outrages per.
petrated here on the arrival of Mr..
Asquith, by the suffragettes, who have
been constantly dogging the heels Of
the British Premier since he left Eng.
land.
The women are charged with com.
plicity in the attempt to burn down
the Dublin Theater, where Mr.. AsQuith
was scheduled to speak. A blazing
chair was thrown into the orchestra
from box occupied by two women.
who then set fire to the box curtains.
Their act caused panic among. the
audience
Mary Leigh has been leader in the
violent tactics adopted by the militant
suffragettes. AS far back as July,
1900, she was arrested for breaking
windows in a suffragettes' demonstra-
ton in London. At that time, on be-
ing sentenced to two months i'm
prisonment at hard labor, she told the
court that the next time we come out
you can expect bombs. :
The woman is described by the po-
lice as the most troublesome suf-
i fragette" they have had to deal with.
Mrs. Leigh was convicted for the
eighth time in London last November
for smashing windows and was SEN
fenced to two months in jail, without
the option Of a fine.
