ASTOR IA 1or ifanta n 4iiid You Bought 3~&S the Legislature Met y Columbia, Jan. 13.-In a de r- cidedly business-like manner the d general assembly of South Cato -e lina organized yesterday for its o 71st session. The refusal of the Ls senate to accept an invitation to 3- visit Winthrop college January k- 20 is taken by the observers as it an indication that the upper house is resolved~ to waste as if little-time as possible. - r- The senate was called to order e at noon by Charles A. Smith of r- Timmonsville; retiring .lienten- t y ant-Governor: The senate, act s ine under the caucus Monday e night, elected LeGrand Walker, t- Georgetown, its president pro tempore and M. M. Mann oftSt. h Matthews its clerk. In addition s to the annual message, the ;o senate received from thp-gcr, i, ernor a-SpeTi resage recoin ? mending the continuance of the te state warehouse system started .d under an act of the October special session. The senate de r- bated the question of going to c- WinthroD and finally decided )- not to do. so, after an hour of i- 'discussion. J. Wilson Gibbs of Columbia, Le who had a lead on the first n ballot, was finally elected clerk s- of the house of representatives e after the roll had been called Lo nine times. Ai had been an it ticipated,- James A. Hoyt of i- Columbia was made speaker ,s without opposition. In a brief a speech he outlined his views on y important measures which will ts be introduced shortly. Members applauded him when he said is that the general assembly could " not afford to ignore the passage >f of a compulsory school' attend y ance law, under the injunction id laid down by the voters in the y- last'primaries. to The house passed unanimous e- lV a resolution introduced by a- Mr. Brigham of Aiken, felici e. tating Piesident Wilson on his as administration. The resolution )f commended the president in the bd highest terms, praised the Sim 7- mons-Underwood tariff bill and e. congratulated the nation's chief r- executive on his policy as re a- gards Mexico. IV Important amendments pro is posed to the rules of the last s- house caused the house yester :h day to defer their adoption until le today. One of the amendments ps offered makes it impossible to e- carry on a filibuter such as te blocked for a number of days d the passage of the bond issue a- 'bill in the house during the f- special session. Another amendment d o e s "away with the limitation on the re number of members on corn e. mittees, leaving this to the dis en cretion of the speaker. The in f. dicat ions are that a fight will be made on this amendment, to the r- end, and that no more than 13 .~ members can be appointed on g the more important committees y and not-more than nine on the toothers. 3In the house the annual mes e- sage of the governor was re f 1ceived immediately after the Schief executive was notified of s the oi'ganization of the body. T eaino he mssg was 2. journ until 11.45 o'clock this morning. *~ From Long Branch re (Too late for last week.) to Mr. Editor: Will you permit ce just a few items from this com munity, most conimonly known as Long~ Branch, but since there of is now erected a stately edifice de whose steeple can be seen for at miles around, I think the more r appropriate heading for items or from h e re should be from "Lawrence Chapel."
