ASSEMBLY
CONCLUDES SESSION
APPROPRIATION BILL PASS
ED BY HOUSE.
Deadlock Broken and South
Carolina Law Makers Ended
LabOrS For Year.


Columbia, Feb. 22.-The senate
had its way and the general appro-
priation deadlock was broken yester-
day, when the house adopted the free
conference report. This, out of the
way, the path was paved for adjourn
ment and at o'clock, legislative
time, the general assembly adjourned
sine die. The actual time when the
work was pronounced done was 5:15
O'Clock in the upper body and 500
O'Clock in the lower house Members
left on trains all day and by last
night there were few in town. The
session lasted several days over the
traditional 40, the regular time for
adjournment being last Saturday
night. The closing hours were
marked by much harmony: good feel
ing on the whole has characterized
the session.
Yesterday morning the senate re-
ceived the Searson concurrent reso-
luton to recommit the report of the
free conference committee with in.
lstructions to make certain cuts
amounting to S106.450. The senate
refused to consider its vote whereby
the conference report was adopted,
therefore it could not go further and
in the meantime, however, the house
killed motion to recall the concur
rent resolution from the senate.
The house, when IL received word
that the senate woud not recede
from its stand, adopted the free con-
ference report. 1--WE have stood
here like men; we have fought to the
last ditch; we have accomplished
nothing" said Representative N. G..
Evans. The attitude OF the house
was that it had done what it could to
reduce the levy and could do no
more.
Message From the Governor.
The adoption of the report by the
house completed the general appro.
IpriatiOn bill. II was ratified along
with the county supply bill yesterday
Afternoon, shortly after 4 o'clock, and
a few minutes after o'clock the fol,
lowing message was received from
Gov. Manning:
81 respectfully inform your honor,
able body that | have signed the an.
preparation bill and the school ana
county ill and have no further COM
Imunication or message.
"1n returning to your homes, per.
init me to express the hope that the
year will be one of health and happl-
ness and that each of you may return
next year prepared for good and
all the people of our State.
May Gods blessing rest upon you
and yours"
The appropriation bill carries
levy of 8 12 mills, the amount to-
falling nearly $3.00O,O00 The fight
was one of the hardest appropria-
tion bill fights in the years, the two
houses being deadlocked until the
house yesterday acceded to the sem
Iate's stand. All items recommended
to be cut by the house committee OF
the whole Tuesday night are re-
tanned, which includes the University
OF South Carolina law school build
ing, the law enforcement appropria-
Ition of $4,000 and the $4,000 for
the State Hospital for Insane, Which
the house asked to be stricken from
the bill.

MACOMB LOOKS EASY
TO AUGUSTANA TEAM

In the best trim of the entire season,
Augustana's braves are now prepar-
ing for the last grid game of the year,
in which they will meet Macomb Nor
NAL next Saturday on Ericsson field.
With regard to Macomb it can be
said that it is confidently regarded al
ready as a victim by the Mortimer.
The down state squad is by no means
as strong. according to indications, as
the other teams Augustana has played
this year. excepting possibly Iowa
Wesleyan. Nevertheless, the Maeomb
boys are d game bunch and have been
training hard lately in preparation for
the game. Augie expects to meet a
good bunch Of sports, but has small
doubt of its ability to win.
The Swede team is in excellent con-
dition Only last Friday it broke all
records when it took Moline high into
camp by the score Of 81 to 0, romping
away with the ball in a manner that
left its opponets breathless. When It
is remembered that this was the same
team that a few weeks ago actually
administered defeat to Augie some
idea Of the improvement which the
boys have undergone may be obtained.

HERMAN BRONKIE MAY
LEAD INDIANAPOLIS

Indianapolis, Nov. 13.--Should Jack
Hendricks, manager OF the Indian
apolis club, which won the 1917 Amer
lean association pennant, be selected
TO succeed Miller Higgins as pilot OF
the st. Louis National league team,
Herman Bronkie. third baseman OF the
locals. will be named playing man
ager to succeed Hendricks. according
to the stove-league critics.
Bronlie has been field captain of
the Indians for the last two seasons.
He had some managerial experience
in 1913 when he finished the season
as pilot OF the Toledo association club
after Topsy Hartsel had been deposed.
Those who are so sure Bronhe will
succeed Hendricks In the event of the
latter leaving Indianapolis, point TO
the fact that such an appointment
would be good wartime measure,
as Bronkie would be a playing man
ager and thus would save the salary
OF one man, Bronkie came to Indian
apolis in 1914, when j. c. McGill pur-
chased the club.
