Approximation Bills Passed House

Except for four items, the general
appropriation bill was passed to third
reading Saturday by the house in ex-
actly the form in which it was reported
by the ways and means committee
Thursday night. The house increased
the total Of the bill by S21, 900, making
it 81, ,963, ,e86.23 instead of 81, 942, 986.23.
Of the increase $4,000 was added to
the $50, 600 item for rural schools, en-
ploying two or three teachers, under
act 497, page 924, statutes 1912. The
contingent fund to be expended by coun-
ty boards of education under regulations
provided by the state superintendent OF
education for especially needy rural
schools was also increased from A5, 200
to s65, 900, but this increase was Offset
by striking out the item of $4,000 for
public school buildings and did notaffect
the total of the bill. The only remain
manning item the house changed was in
the section for the attorney generals s
office, where the amount for expenses
of litigation was raised from 1000 to
1000.
The 6-mi}l levy in the appropriation
bill is divided, mills being set aside for
general state purposes and /, mil for
pensions, with the proviso that, if the
the amount raised for pensions shall ex-
ceed the sum needed, then the remain
der shall be subject to the warrant of
the comptroller general for state pur-
poses.
Comparatively few amendments were
offered to the appropriation bill this
year. Judging by results, the most Sc
rious difference of opinion between the
ways and means committee and the
house was over the distribution of $780,
900 for public schools, raised Saturday
to s27O,OO
In the appropriation bill Winthrop
college was the only state educational
institution given new building. The
state college for women was granted
SIS, 900 out of the taxes of 1915 and a
like amount out of the taxes of 1916 for
q new gymnasium, provided the sum of
$50, 900 was raised from other sources
for the same purpose.
Besides the usual appropriation for
maintenance, the University of South
Carolina was given SIP, 500 to enlarge
the heating plant.
The appropriation of $4,000 for the
maintenance of the Citadel and the item
of 1000 for new set of instruments

SENATE WORKS 56 HOURS
REPUBLIcANo SUCCEED IN FoRc'
ING ADJOURNMENT AFTER
Sc HOURS SESSION.
Democrats Discuss Several Plans But
it is Generally Believed Bill Can
not Be Brought to a Vote.

Washington. = Republicans and
Democratic insurgents fighting the
Government ship bill, with the~aid OF
Senators Norris and Kenyon, Progress
sive Republicans who have supported
the measure, forced Ifhe Senate to ad'
journ after the longest continuous
session in Its history. Debate had
lasted 54inours and Ii minutes.
This made more uncertain than
ever the fate of the bill which the
Administration has pressed so urgent,
Wy on Congress. Many members OF
both houses concluded that. an extra
session seemed inevitable. There
were some, however, who still hoped
there yet might be time to dispose OF
appropriation bills and the ship-pur
chase measure in some form before
March l.
Adjournment came on a motion
made by Senator O'Gorman, carried
4S to 46 after Senator Norris, deplor
ing the flibuster, had proclaimed his
! ! conclusion that opponents of the bill
couio uiiuus.~. >aTh.
Though disappointed over thesaoa,;
of support from the Progressive Re-
puhlicans, Administration leaders of
the Senate would not admit the cause
was lost. Anticipating break in the
Senate, President Wilson had conferr-
ed throughout the day with House
leaders on plans to get the bill before
the House and such course may be
taken, though Senate Republicans in
sist their fight will continue until the
end Of the session no matter what the
Administration forces may accomplish
in the House.
Insurgent Democrats led by Senator
Hardwick, sought compromise with
their colleagues by which the party
could be united in a renewed effort to
pass the bill. The plan suggested
was that the warning Democrats hold
conference after their commitment
Of the bill. Some of the insurgents
then would propose that the bill be
amended to provide that the proposed
Government ship-purchase enterprise
should terminate at stated period
after the close Of the European war,
and that purchase of interned ships
Of belligerents be prohibited.
