The Legislature in Session.

At noon yesterday the General AS
sembly of South Carolina convened in
annual session. Just what real solid
work will be accomplished is surely a
natter of conjecture. Some predict
that it will be a harmonious session,
while others say it will be an acrimo-
Nous session. Unfortunately, the odds
ire in favor of the latter forecast
The wide differences and the political
cnasms of last summers campaigh
will not be easily bridged.
The tone and tenor of the governors S
annual message will have much to dc
with shaping matters for the session.
If his message is temperate and con-
ciliatory, tits probable that the session
will be reasonably harmonious. On
the contrary, is Governor Blease as
sumes the attitude of dictator, using
scathing and denunciatory language,
it is not likely that the soft answer
will be returned by his political oppo-
nents.
The Advertiser is of the opinion
that but little will be actually
accomplished during the 40 days OF
legislating, or rather attempt tolegls-
late. While Governor Blease will have
a strong following in both houses, yet
his forces will not have majority.
This will make it practically impossible
for any of the administrations pet
measures to become law. The anti
Blease people will have decided ma
jority but not a sufficient number to
override the governors veto. There
fore, unless the two factions adopt a
policy of giving and taking, tits not
probable that any legislation of impor-
tance will be enacted.

Better Enforcement of Law Needed.

During the recent reorganization of
Augustus police department some
twenty odd men were dropped from the
force. Judging from the very fragrant
way some laws are being violated in
Augusta there was great need for &
betternent of conditions. We are of
the opinion though that some men
"hi CHER up" should be dealt with frs,
letting the privates on the police force
be the last to be disciplined. In the mat.
ter of violating the liquor law Augusta
is achi ewing as much unenviable noto-
riety as Charleston. While Augusta ap-
parently makes no effort to suppress
the illegal sale of liquor, yet we do not
b elieve .he people of the city across
the Savannah would tolerate race track
gambling as the people of Charleston
county do.

Safeguard or Abolish Primary.

SOME HOSPITAL RESULTS.

An interesting table shows that
there are three times as many men as
women in the city hospitals and that
the longevity of the women is greater
than that of the men.
Of the women who have been in the
hospitals 259 per cent lived beyond
So years of age, while only 10 per
cent of the men exceeded that age.
Last. year one receiving physician
handled $4,000 cases, it is recorded. 1t
is shown that he had to work "a hours
day, being subject to call at any
time after he had gone to bed.
The success of the effort to force
children to support their aged parents
in the city infrmary, either by taking
them out or by paying for their board
is also demonstrated. This, one chart
explains, is Saving to the city year,
$3.50, 000 saving to the children, filial
duty; saving to the parents, self-re-
spect. "-Cincinnati Times-Star.
