[The State, February 13.]
The senate did a rousing day's
work yesterday. The soniators were
in a working mood and, although
there were many speeches, action was
taken on a great many bills.
At the morning sessIon the bill to
give Winthrop college the use of 25
convicts was debated and killed; the
unique house bill as to carrying pis
tols was given its second reading
after a long debate; and a big batch
of second reading bills were advanced.
Many bills were continued until the
next session at the request of the au
thors who saw no chance of getting
them through this year.
At the night setision the general
appropriation bill was given its third
reading and ordered sent back to the
house for coucurren3e in the senate
anendment3, which are unimportant,
except the defeat of the appropria
tion of $100,000 for the common
schools. Considerable work was also
put in on the supply bill.
Mr. McMaster's bill to extend the
rights and remedies of employes of
railroad corporations, as provided by
the constitution, to employes of street
railway and textile mill corporations
and telegraph companies was the
first bill on the calendar and was
taken up and given its second read
ing.
THIRD READING BILLS.
These bills passed the third read.
ing:
Mr. Butler's bill to authorize the
commissioners of Cherokee to build
bridges across Broad river.
Mr. Elder's bill to provide for the
completion of Winthrop - college and
to appropriate money therefor.
The bill relating to the publication
of the supreme court reports.
NO CONVICTs FOR WINTHROP.
Mr. Brice's bill to require the di
rectors of the penitentiar) to furnish
25 convicts to Winthrop college was
taken up for its second reading.
The committee report was unfa.
vorable, on the ground that this was
an indirect appropriation.
On Senator Sheppard's motion to
indefinitely postpone the bill the ayes
were triumphant and Winthrop will
not get convicts.
PISTOLS MUST GO.
Mr. Cooper's bill to regulate the
carrying, manufacture and sale of
firearms usually used for the inflhc.
tion of personal injury, and to make
a violation of the same a m.isde
meanor, was then taken up. The
bill is very drastic in its provisions,
and the committee report on it was
unfavorable.
Senator Graydon offered an amqnd
ment making the bill apply only to
pistols, and advocated the bill with
his amendment at some length.
Senator Aldrich thought it the
best bill that has been introduced at
this session. Public opinion has
crystalized on two points, he said,
that whiskey and pistols are respon
sible for most of the crime. The
penalty for carrying concealed wea
lions is entirely to'o low. He knew
of no evil in the State more to be de
plored than the almost universal cus
tom of carrying concealed weapons.
It is a most demoralizing and degrad
ing thing. The penalty cannot he
made too severe. The habit of carry
ing a concealed weapon will make a
coward of any man. All the cour
age he ever had will be suink in the
barrel of his pistol, and if he ever
gets into a .row without his pistol ho
will run as sure as he lives. A pis.
tol is a disgraceful thing, and no
man ought to be allowed to carry
one whether cor'cealed or not If a
man needs a fire arm at all he needs
a gun and not a pistol.
Senator Mower analyzed the bill.
In the first place it absolutely for
bids a - citizen carrying a pistol,
whether concealed or not, and a pro.
vision of that kind is entirely uncon
stitutional. It also provides that
there shall not be sold in the State a
lire arm of less thani a certain sizo
and weight. He seriously doubted
if the passage of laws oL1 this subject
will accomplish much good. Wo will
have something besides laws.
The senate refused to strike out
the enacting words by a vote of 16
to 21.
Sonator Giraydon offered an amend
ment to simply make it unlawful for
a man to carry a tire arm less than
20 inches in length or less than three
pounds in weight. This, he said,
will give a man the right to bear any
arms except pistols.
Senator Brown moved to indefli
nitely postpone the whole matter.
On this the vote was 15 to 12, and
the senate refused to postpono the
bill.
The question of adopting Senator
Graydon's amendment then came up
and was adopted by a vote of 16 to
10.
Senator Gruber moved to indefi
nitely postpone the bill, but the
chair ruled the motion out of order.
Senator Gruber then moved to re
commit the bill. This was voted
down by a vote of 19 to 14, and then
senate refused to recommit.
The minority amendment that the
tines collected --nder the operations
of this bill shall go to the school
fund in the county in which the vio
lation oc urred was then adopted.
The bill then passed its second
reading.
CHILD LABOR BILL.
The child labor bill was then taken
up for its third reading. Senator
Sullivan offered an amendment to
place the age limit at 10 yearc, in
stead of 12 years, and to provide
for compulsory attendance upon the
public schools for. at least four
months each year of all children not
eagaged at work. Parents or guar
dians failing or refusing to send
such children to school as provided
are punishable as for a misdemeanor.
Children from 7 to 12 years old are
to be sent to school for at least four
months each year. He said the
senate stated its object in passing
the bill against child labor was to
insure an education for the children,
and he wanted it carried to its
logical conclusion, and offered the
bill in good faith. He repudiated
the idea that a compulsory education
law would affect the negro question,
as the negroes are sending- their
children to school anyway.
Senator Marshall said he hoped
there would be no debate on the
question. Every senator has had
his say. He thought the practical
effect of Senator Sullivan's amend
mnents would be to kill the bill and
he moved to lay the amendments on
the table. On. this the vote stood 21.
to 14 and the amendments were re
jected.
SenatorMfayfield offered an amend
ment to make the school term in
factory towns of equal length with
rural communities, which was
adopted.
Senator Hydrick offered an
amendment that if any parent or
guardian should makta affidavit that
the earnings of a child were neces
sary to the support of the parent of
the child itself such child might be
employed.
Senator Graydon 'opposed the
amendment, as it would be abused
and would practicaly kill the bill.
Senator Ragsdale said there
might be an occasional case in which
a father might need the earnings of
his child but it would be very rare,
and as the purposed amendment
would leave open room for abuses
and might practically kill the bill, he
thonght it should be voted down.
WVe are to consider what is best for
the children and not what~ is best for
the parents.
On the question of adopting the
amendment the vote stood 17 to 17.
There was a tie and the lieutenant
governor voted no, thus rejecting
the amendment
Senator Shiarpe offered :an amend
ment, which was adopted, allowing
an orphan child, upon filling an
affidavit, to secure work in a factory
if it was necessary in oraer to earn a
livin-g..
Senator G.ruber offered an amend
ment to make the provisiniun of the
law apply to all manirufact uring estab
lishments as well as cotton factories
and the amoudment was adopted.
The bill then passed its third
reading and was ordored engrosse(
and sent to the houso.
AS To FERRY CIIARTERS.
Mr. Bacot's bill to amend an ac1
entitled "an act to provide for th(
renwing of charters of ferries whict
have expired,.or are about to expire
and for granting charters for forriet
not herotofore," wits taken upl) and'
given its third reading.
TO WORK THE' CLERiS.
Senatr Shoppard iutrodouced i
resolution, which was adopted, that
the senato committoo clerks be ro
quirod to assist the engrossing do
partmont for the reinidor of thc
session while not otherwise engaged.
Senator Mar,hall introduced a ros
olution, which was adopted, looking
to taking up the carpets and caring
for the furniture in the State house
while the repair work is going on.
SALUDA MAY ISSUE BONDS.
Several days ago Senator Caugh
man had continued until the next
session a bill authorizing the town of
Saluda to bold an election on the
question of issuing bonds to the
Johnston, Saluda, Greonwood and
Anderson railroad Yesterday he
asked unanimous consent to have
the bill restored to the place on the
calendar, and it will probably get
through at this session.
ANOTHER NEW hILL.
Senator Henderson introduced i
bill to make further provision for the
prosecution of hoincido cases.
NIoHT SESSION.
At the night session the finance
committee, to whom was referred the
governor's message in reference to
the litergation in the agricultural
hall case, reported that they had con
sidered the matter and asked to be
discharged from further considera
tion of the matter, which was done.
This ends the whole matter.
Senator Mower offered an amend
ment that the books of the county
treasurers should be closed from
January 31st to Docember 15th in
order to allow the list of delinquents
to be made. They are to be opened
after that until February 1, when it
the taxes are not paid by that time,
the penalty shall attach. The amend.
ment was ordered printed in the
journal and will be considered today.
TiHE APPROPRIATION BILL.
Consideration of the appropriation
bill was resumed anid the following
amendments were proposed and
adopted: To provide $400 for the
expenses of the Chickamauga b)attle.
field commission at the unveiling ex
ercises in May; to make the salary of
the cod., commissioner $500 instead
of $400; for insuring the buildings
of the South Carolina college $450:
for insuring certain property at the
State hospital for the insane $117.
BARBERl oETS HIs5 MONEY.
On a proposal to pay WV. A. Bar
ber $1,000 for legal services in the
litergation in the agricultural hal]
case there was considerable discus.
sion. Mr. Graydon opposed the
proposition, saying Mr. Barber's ser
vices were rendered without proper
authority. The history of the case
is well known. Senators Brice and
Glenn favored the payment of the
sum, saying the amount had been
earned and it was nothing but justice
that it should he paid.
Senator Ragndale moved to indef.
initely postponed the appropriation,
bnt this was voted down; and Sen
ator Ilderton moved to make the feu
$500 instead of $l,000) and this toc
was voted downi. The committee'i
recommendation to pay Mr. Barbei
$1,000 was adopted.
-sUPREME coURT RlEPORTs.
There was a considerable discus.
sion and the proposed increase of the
salary of the supreme court reportei

striko out tho appropriation of
,2,000 for a school building for the
deaf, dumb and blind asylum. Io
said this was not inl opposit ion to the
I institution, but that an eflort, would
be mado during the coming year
to have the institutions for tho blind
and til) deaf and(] duib, seParated,
and if this building is althorizod
now it will deter this undortaking.
If the institutions aro divided this
building will not bo noodod; if the
l,gilature (14)..not, soe fit to allow
the soperation thon tih approprint ion
can bo made. Ito did not urge any
objection to the appropriation, bult
NimDply asked that it ho post ponled
for one year. He readi a letter from
Rov. P. P. Blidock, the president of
the alumni associatioi) of tho blind,
aiking that tho matter b postponod
until the question of the separation
can bo proporly brought before the
goneral assomibly.
Senator Mower Said the superinl
tondont and regents of tho institut ion
had urged the neod of the building
so urgntly that ho thought. it, wouhl
be unwise to rofuio it now. Th1)o
problem exists of restricting the
the number of pupils or increasing
the accommodations.
The ayes and nays wore called on
Senator Sheppard's motion to post.
pono the approprition for omie year.
Tho i-es received 10 aind the Uays
22, v d the sonato refused to post
pOt the appropriation.
WINTHROP COLLEGE.
Senator G raty doln offered an
a endmnt, to reduce the appropria
tion for the runming expenses of
Wihthrop College from :-13,000 to
35,000. Last year, 1e) said, the col
logn was run on z33,000, aind he
saw no reason why -35,000 would
not be enough this year. The col
lege, ho understood, paid a land
scape gardener $1,200 a year, and
last year paid some $7,000 for "la
bor.
Senator Ragsdale supported Son.
ator Graydon's motion. Hothought
$35,000 would be suflicient.
Senator Brice want.ed tho appro
priation to remain $43,000. This is
an increase of $10,000 over last
year, but the new dormitory soon to
be opened will mean an increase of
200 pupils, and the money will all
be needed. He denied that there
was any extravagance at Winthrop,
and said it would be a great mistake
to cripple the institution.
Senator Henderson spoko along the
same line. It is certain the attend
ance at Winthrop will b increased as
soon1 as the dormitory is completed,
and so long as tihe girls vant to) go
there it is the most sacreod duty of the
State to give them that privilege.
Senator Mower also made some re
marks of the same nature.
Senator Ilderton moved to lay Mr.
Graydon's amendment 0on tihe table1,
and it was done by more than a two.
thirds vote. Winthrop gets $43,000.
THIE CITADEL.
Senator Gaines moved to cut the
appropriation for the Citadel from
$25,000 to $20,000. The point hoe
made was that the dlenominlational
colleges were doing as good work as
tihe State colloges, and at less- cost,
and that if the Citadel, with aill its
advantages, neiled this appropria
tion to keep it going it was time for
the Stateoto turn it loose.
Senator Aldrich dlefended tihe Cit
adel and wanted the alpprop)riation to
remuain at $25,000. rThe( Citadel ed
ucates two boys from oach county ab
solutely free of cost, and1( prob)ably
give's better value received for the
money it. receives thani any of' the
pState colleges. Hie moved to lay
Senator Gaines' amendment on the
table, arnd this was done withIout fur
ther debate.
cATAwBIA INDIANs.
Senator Graydon moved to increase
the amount for the Catawba Indians
from $800 to $1,000 and to allow the
asgent 8 per cenft. for disbursing, in
I t md of 5 por cent.
Senator Brico also urged the in
crease, n it wvill he but simple justice.
The increase was adopted without
further debate.
