No Biennial Sessions.

Mr.. Charles in the house defended
the bill seeking to provide for bien-
NAL sessions, and had gone to consid-
cradle trouble to get data. He found
that only six States now held annual
sessions. The general tendency, he
urged, was towards sessions at long
er intervals. The State would save
$4,000 to 100000 by providing for
biennial sessions.
Mr.. Mitchum said that it was a
foregone conclusion that the resolu-
ton would be killed, but he favored
the plan. The people voted 3 to 1 in
favor of biennial sessions. South
Carolina is one of the few States with
annual sessions. Mr.. Beamguard IA
vored the resolution and Mr.. Bowman
opposed it at this time. The resolu-
ton was killed by failure to receive
the necessary two-thirds vote. The
record was 81 to IS in favor of bien-
Rial sessions.

is made that Mr.. J. L. McLaurin, who
is the particular champion of the
State warehouse bill, by invitation ap-
peared before the conference commit
tee to give his views upon certain OF

After the conference, it is stated
that a friend of Mr.. McLaurin asked
him what would happen if Governor
Blease should veto the bill, whereup-
on Mr.. McLaurin stated that he would
announce his candidacy for governor,
so that he might go into every cour y
in the State and make the issue upon
the said warehouse bill, which he has
advocated for some time.

JUDGE LEAVES BENCH
TO THRASH DETRACTOR
Applies Fistic Skill to Punish Con-
tempt, Then Steps Back and Con-
tinues Court.

Midland, Texas, Feb. 13.-Recalling
the days Of Roy Beau, the famous JUS
tice Of the peace, who number Of
years ago was known as "All the Law
West of the Pecos," Judge J. H.
Knowles of the commissioners court
here today laid aside his official dig
nifty long enough to engage in a fistic
battle. During the session Judge
Knowles, presiding, made an assertion
regarding previous ruling of the
court. Inasmuch as the commission
ers' court is county tribunal of con-
siderable importance in the county,
comments on its ruling are not to be
lightly made, even by the presiding
justice. So thought Commissioner
julie Driver, who was present. No
sooner had the offending remark been
made than he rose and exclaimed:
''You are a liar, Judge"
The court did not hesitate.
*'This court will stand adjourned"

WHY HESITATE?
An Offer That Involves no Money Risk
If You Accept It.

We are so positive our remedy Will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish it free of all cost
if it fails.
Constipation is commonly caused
by weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intestine. To expect
a cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity
We want you to try Rexall Order

good for children. They seem to
act directly on the nerves and mus
cles of the bowels. They apparently
have a neutral action Oil the other
organs. They do not purge or cause
other inconvenience. We will refund
your money if they do not overcome
chronic or habitual constipation and

KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT 1T.
Gov. Blease interviewed on Alleged
Break With Mayor Grace.

Columbia, Feb. 12.-Gov. Blease
was asked today what there was, If
anything in the report that there had
been a break between himself 3, and
Mayor Grace, of Charleston. The
governor said that he had seen an
article in the newspapers about it.,
but that he had paid no attention to
it, because he knew nothing of it,
and, so far as he was concerned, that
there was no difference in the rela-
tions between himself and Mayor
Grace. He was asked if he had had
any communication with Mayor Grace
that might have led to this inference
and stated that he had had no COM
munication by letter with Mayor
Grace since his induction into Office,
either to or from him.
Governor Blease was asked if there
had been any breach on account of
any promise that had been made, or
that had been credited to him, and
Governor Blease stated that he had
never broken a promise to Mayor
Grace or anyone else, and he knew
nothing whatever of any break, and
had been altogether too busy to pay
any attention to the idle talk, as he
called it.

100000 SUPREME COURT ROOM.
Senate Passed Measure to House
Tuesday Morning-Large Amount
Appropriated

The senate Tuesday morning pass
ed the bill authorizing the erection
of a supreme court building. This
measure carries an appropriation of
100000. A commission, composed of
the governor, the chief justice, attor-
ney general, member of the senate
and of the house, is empowered to
select an architect and contract for
the erection of the building. Senator
". L. Nauldin intrqduced this bill on
January II.
This measure was debated.
Some of the members thought that
the finances of the State would not
allow further expenditure of money;
that the appropriation bill carries
nearly S2,OoO,0O0 and should not be
increased. Mr.. Mauldin said that the
supreme court is now crowded and
can not do good work, on. account of
lack Of room, and he contended that
this is step in the direction of econ
omy. The other State officers will
then have sufficient room in the State
house for their Offices.
The bill passed third reading and
was sent to the house by a vote of 26
to 8, the members of the senate cast

70 Tax Timber Separately.

The house on Wednesday morning
spent two hours in passing about
sixty-eight bills, so that they will go
to the senate, or will be addressed to
the engrossing department for en-
rolment as acts.
Aside from the consideration of the
third reading bills and matters that
are in dispute between the two
branches, the one important matter
taken up was bill that had been left
over from last year by Mr.. Hill, OF
Colleton. It appears that under the
present system of taxation timber is
included with the land, and the COM
plaint is made that a great deal OF
valuable timber is not now paying
taxes. The bill that was passed to
the third reading Wednesday in the
house proposes to tax the timber In
dependently of the land. The sug-
eestion was made that this would lm-
pose an additional burden upon the
landowner, who had in most instanc-
es contracted to pay the taxes on the
land and timber until it was cut. Al
all events, the bill has passed the
house and will gn to the senate.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-02-16

against it. The bill was taken up
out of it's order on the motion Of Mr.
Browning soon after the house con-
convened Tuesday morning.
The opposition to the bill dWlndled
and almost died out when it was seen
that the house was disposed to accept
the amendment putting the office at
the bestowal of the voters instead OF
providing for making it elective by
the general assembly.
Mr.. Searson's amendment proVld-
ing for the present commissioner to
hold Office until January 1, 1918, was
adopted by vote Of 5S to 80.
The bill as amended was passed to
third reading.
