STATE OF SoUTH CAROLINA
ExEcUr TIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBIA, March az, 1869.
TO The Honorable the senate of South Carolina:
SENAToRs-l respect fully return to your hon.
to provide for the unifo IN and proper promul-
cation of all legal and public notices" without
my approval, for the following reasons:
In the first place, I deem it unnecessary, as
there has been no complaint or evidence ad-
duced that the system at present existing is
not amply sufficient and satisfactory for its
purposes.
Ia the second place, consider it iniudicious
in imposing, upon particular State officer, in
addition to his present duties, which are suf-
ssivfehCly oiierJth, large amount of LABOR
Which legitimately belongs to his colleagues in
ment, and to the local authorities i'm their re-
spective counties. The county officers, es.
pecially, whose duty it is to advertise the legal
notices. may be supposed, from their local
knowledge, to be better advised OF the stand
ing and circulation Of their neighboring jour.
nails than persons at a. distan e. 10 them the
constitution and laws have entrusted the di-
county expenditures, and until they are shown
to be incompetent or untaithfal, deem 1t the
part of wisdom and sound policy for the State
to interfere with them in the discharge Of
their duties, or intermeddle with strictly coun.
ty matters, as little as is absolutely necessary.
In the third place, the designating of certain
newspapers as "Of6cial organs" OF the st ate
and OF the counties, consider highly inexpe-
yv,nvH YYs~l~ L..L
tion, every secular newspaper in the State is
lnlmlcal to the existing State government. I
am unwilling to endorse their misrepresenta-
tlons. or 10 increase their power Of mischief,
OF "oficial organs" Of the State or counties.
Necessity compels their use to g We circulation
to our legal notices. which Of themselves sufa-
eiently indicate their official character, and as
the object OF advertising is publicity, the off,
GERS interested in the several localities are the
best judges OF what newspapers will most ef-
fectually accomplish their object and satisfy
the requirements Of law.
For these reasons feel constrained to with.
hold my approval OF this act. and respectfully
have the honor to be.
Very respectfully, ~
