UPPER HOUSE CON-
TINUES FILIBUSTER

very sorry TO witness It
Education Bill is Cause of
Trouble.
Columbia, Feb. 22.-Filibus-
tering continued in the senate
this morning in connection with
TIE Lawson-McCravey compul-
sorry education bill. 81 am sor-
ry to see this in the senate"
said Senator Black. 1--WE are
Mot children. | have been COM
ing here a long time, and / have
never seen anything like it,"
Senator Black is a very conser-
vative member.
Senator Clifton, who has been
leader in the filibustering,
moved to take from the table
Senator Laney's motion of last
night to adjourn until Tuesday
night at 8 o'clock. The Clifton
motion was lost by a vote of 18
to Is.
A motion by Senator Young
stated that just as sure as the
filibustering kept up he would
see that no legislation would
get through during the remain
der of the session. He stated
that to go into another legisla-
tive day with a number of SEN
ators gone home would not be
square"
ADJOURNS TILL TUESDAY
NIGHT.
The senate adjourned at
1880 until Tuesday night at 8
o'clock, after Senator Laney
had spoken for an hour on both
sides of the question at issue,
'possum dogs, the old blue back
and the old swimming
Mole, and after Senator Will
hams had delivered 25-minute
oration on George Washington
and on Senator Clifton as a fill
busterer. Il wanted to go home
today, but they wouldn't let
me-" Senator Laney said in ex-
planning the prolonged speech,
which included among other
things a reading of the bill, in
order to kill time. Senator
Laney thought the Lawson-Mc-
Cravey bill ought to be amend
ed to supply books to those chill
dren who could not afford them.
Senator Williams offered an
amendment which would put
the children on diet of hominv
so that they would be properly
<Ftted for study. Both senator's
opposed the bill and were op-
posed to the senate's transact
ing any business in the absence
of a number of senators who
went home last night, with the
understanding that the body
would adjourn until Tuesday.
Senator Williams moved to
adjourn at the instance of SEN
ator Lide, who had made a poll
of the senator's, who were scat
tered all over the place behind
newspapers and in the finance
committee room, where the
members of the finance commit
tee gave their time to the con-
sideration of the important bills
which have yet to be disposed
OF this session.
HOUSE HAS ALSO RE-
CESSED.
The house will not be in ses-
sion again until next Wednes-
day night, having adjourned
last night, with the consent of
the senate-that being neces-
sary-for the five days. There
was nothing for the house todav
nor had been for two days, and, ,
as the senate will not be pre-
pared to take up the appropria-
tion bill until Wednesday, there
was no use in it's holding a ses-
sion. This state of affairs be-
ing represented to the senate.
that body consented to the
house receding from business
until Wednesday night. 1t is
probable that when the house
convenes again the two bodies
will have enough to engage
them to carry the session
through Friday or SATURDAY. of
next week, one week beyond the
time of adjournment that had
been calculated upon.
