GRIST OF BILLS ALAEADY HEAVY ACTION DEFERRED PENDING WORD FROM MANNING Compulsory Edueaion, Prohibition, an/1 Pftttftn Rilk wpro (iffprpd Early in Session. I The State, 17th. Although the gereral assembly held j sessions only four days last week, several bills of importance ha>ve been introduced in the two houses and referred to committees for reports. There is a disposition among the members of the general assembly to wait until Richard I. Manning is inaugurated governor on Tuesday before taking the necessary steps toward plac- < ing before the general assembly measures he is known to advocate. Legislai tors in sympathy with Mr. Manning ' are preparing bills which will carry out his ideas on the reform of the tax system, the State banking laws and other subjects closely connected with the administration of the State's bus- 1 iness affairs. ii ] Compulsory Education. ^ Advocates of the adoption of a com- , pulsory education law in South Caro- { lina have reason to be pleased, because, early as it is in the session, there are three compulsory education bills pending in the senate and two in the house. The proponents .of forcing children iD the State to obtain an edu- 1 cation have increased in the last two ( or three years until their name is ( legion. Compulsory school attend- c ance, either Statewide or of a local c option character, was an issue on which the result of nomination to 1 both State and county offices hinged to a great degree in the Democratic ? In the senate, Senator Carlisle has 1 ;niroduced the Statewide compulsory c Hi education hill drawn by Frank Evans, R superintendent of the Spartanburg city ? VA schools. This measure was the first i 9 choice of the conferees on compulsory t education who met in Columbia early m in January. Senator Sinkler has of- j B fere'd in the senate the local option g ^compulsory school attendance bill i -n-ritton hv 7 771 Rwparin?pn. State SU- < ^erintendent of education. This meas- ( re wa^the second choice of the con^^ iMunibia. use Mr. Harper of Dar- ? Mr. Hawkins of GreenBoth introduced compulsory bills. Senator Lee has also Hie Harper bill in the senate, j HKh really the first bill introBFin the house at this session of ^fgeneral assembly, the Harper bill on the calendar as house bill > B^^Xo. 2. The reason for this is that a| L concurrent resolution on some subject j c A -was offered on the first day of the ses- j ( sion, ^carried over on the calendar and i c ^ consequently identified as "H.

His bill this year also carries He local option feature. V * j The subject of taxation as a matter for legislation is one which legis- t lators habitually approach cautiously. ^ Although tie report is current and , well substantiated that much will be undertaken later on in the way o: reform of the tax system, nothing on 1 this subject has been introduced in A either house yet which can be looked s upon as a constructive measure, except c 1 bill by Mr. Liles of Orangeburg v J-' J-1 ./.i'A?A?nn +r\ rta. ^ .menuing me io.w m rc.cicutc au j wlinquent taxes, penalties and execu- ? tions. HB In the house Mr. Sellers of Marion N BE and in the senate Senator Nicholson c V of Edgefield have offered bills to de? ?er the payment of taxes without penWr alties until March 15 ,1915. Mr. Lynch * W of 'Florence in his bill in the house 1 would give grace until April 1, 1915. ( Prohibition. c (A big question that the general as- t [semoly will be called upon to seme isi* whether the qualified electors of the 1 State shall vote on September 14, 1915, i on the question of abolishing the whis- 1 key traffic in the State. The prohibi- ? tion referendum bill has been intro- * duced in the house by Mr. Boyd of ? Spartanburg and Mr. Warren of * Hampton and in the senate by Sena- s tor Carlisle of Spartanburg. The dis- 1 pensctrv committees of both house.? * will report on the measure-. Prohibi- t *icr)ists of the State are behind the bill, having starred their campaign! i some weeks ago and maintained a bu- j i reau in Columbia. The companion J * bill to the prohibition referendum bill, J also pending in the house and senate, t invokes the federal authority given by < the Webb bill to prevent shipment of ? liquor into the State should the referendum bill pass and a majority of the ; 1 quailed electors vote "dry'' next Sep- \1 L tpmhpr [ L Mr. Warren of Hampton and Mr. j R Shirley of Oconee have introduced in j B the house their bill to create a Stat?! "bureau for marketing farm products, a n=easure which was before the spe- j cial sessior of the beneral assembly in 1 October and tr^ted with scant courtesy then. 1 / Mr. Rogers o: Dillon has a bill in .he house providing for the assurance i.nd registration of land titles somevhat after'toe system worked out by rorrens. _ Besides 'the State marketing bureau, the State highway board is pro)osed in a bill offered by Senator Sinker of Charleston, and the State j x>ard of charities and corrections in i bill by Senator Christensen of Beau'ort, the latter measure having been )ffered in the '.house by Mr. GrayIon of Abber.ille "by request.** Bills 011 Cotton. The cotton acreage reduction act, vincTa Gov. Smith in his inaugural adIress called the "first step toward emancipation from cotton slavery," is vhiprtir>nablf> to at least two members >f the house and o^e senator. Mr. Dixon o: Fairfield and Mr. Moore of Vbbevil^e, in the house, and Senator Werner of Oconee, in the senate, have ill offered bills to repeal this measure, >assed at the special October session )f cotton by one-third in this State. The repeal of the State warehouse iystem is proposed in a bill introduced J n the house by Mr. Warren of Hampon. , Should the Carlisle-Boyd anti-tip)ing bill pending in the house and ;enate, be passed, it will become unawful to cross the palm of a waiter >r other servitor in public places with join of the realm. !M;r. Hubbard of Jasper has introiuced a bill "to prohibit any convict serving as chaingang guard." PROBLEMS FOK LEGISLATURE Lawmakers Will Have to Consider Finances (First?Least Done the Better. Cews and Courier. Columbia, Jan. 7.?The general assembly, which will meet here Tuesiay, will, of course, have very many otm/^uc- tn rneet. First of all, ) XV W O 1 V*s/ * v _ - he law-makers will nave to consider he present condition finances in he present condition of finances in nability to sell cotton. Second, it is the distinct purpose o:' he Manning administration, and the expectation is that the general assembly is in sympathy with the adminisration, to undertake real constructive egislation. The Herald and News, in an editoral paragraph, says that it "has no adrice to offer the members, except to >ay that the least they do or try to lo at to is session the better for their state. This is not a time we need nuch lawmaking.'' This expresses tne general opinion of those who have vatched the history of legislation and vho have followed the legislative pro:eedings for many years. Unsatisfactory Record. The legislator who comes to Colir )ia with a bundle of bills and has a nultiplicity of ideas which he thinks jught to be incorporated in the laws )f the State generally goes home with he unsatisfying record oif having lis name on the calendars and journals not attached to permanent leg slation. The man who comes to Columbia with one idea in the shape of i i bill, or who probably reserves his ; ability and energies to "get behind" >ome other man's measure, will leave lis impress as an influential and strong legislator, whereas the mem)er whose name litters the calendar md who is always talking soon frit- . ers away his influence and possible alue. Take for instance, Mr. George 3. Mower, who is one of the strong nen returned to the general assembly. it is a very_rare inmg ior mm to violent a bill, and quite as rare for him :o make speeches. He finds that the , effective work is done in committees md by associating with members anG 'getting in" the real legislator's influence without proclaiming it from the house tops. | aUB-MY-TESftl i Till cure your Rlieum&tisiu ) .euralgia, Headaches, Cramps, Joiic, Sprains, Bruises, Cuts and Burns, Old Sores, Stings of Insects Etc.
