Efforts to Reveal the Act Passed Last Year Relating to Concealed Weapons
In Columbia South Carolina February 19 a heated session of the house featured threats between Josh Ashley and Mr Sinkler. The dispute arose as lawmakers rushed to avoid roll call with Ashley vowing to eject Sinkler and Sinkler threatening to hit back. Sinkler, from Charleston, warned of bullets if assaulted. The quarrel, though heated, ended with Sinkler unarmed. Legislators also debated free passes on railroads with a resolution to form investigative committees. A vestibule bill for electric cars passed both houses and awaits final sign. it carves out Charleston for December through March usage due to milder weather. A concealed weapons repeal effort failed. the July 1 effective law bans pistols under 20 inches, with a $200 fine split between informant and schools. Rumors persist of brisk cross-border trade in weapons. Proposals to consolidate several rail lines into a Southern-leased system advanced, with no dismantling allowed. The consolidation would benefit the route and region, though it required legislative sanction and revealed poor road conditions prior to merger.
