Mr.. Ernest Gary said that he thought
when the gentleman from Richland
rose to sGesk be ;lad some objection to
tie bill. 20 his surprise he had taken
the opportunity, bat to discuss the
Chief Executive. II there had been
whippers in here and they had whipped
him (Mr. HaSkeiD our Of po~er, it was
!. grand day for South Carolina. I
have served with him in the House
when he had lower that was surpass-
ing. What brought whippers in? No
fact contributed more than the power
which he exercised. It was a proud
day when he was whipped out OF the
domain in which he exercised so much
power. I hurl back his lnsinuations
with contempt. Icould not sit quietly
and allow him to regard me as
whipped. The people have by popular
vote taken the county commissioners
out Of the Constitution, and there IS a
necessity for some such legislation as
this bill. The system works well In
Georgia. Why will it not work equally
well in South Carolina?

Mr. Evans: "Ch! yes. you were fight

whose head has been crushed tries to

suffered, but at last she rose and
whipped out all such from. her halls OF
Legislation, which should have been sa-
cred. Aro we to submit to such cpl
