Jaffer administered the strychnine
and whisky hypodermically to the
seemingly dead man and at the same
tlme resorted to artificial respira-

geons gathered about the bed and
watched the result of the expert

Within fifteen minutes there was
a slight resumption of heart action.
1t was only a flutter. Then the
mouth twitched slightly. A few min
utes more and there was evidence of
resumption of respiration and the
heart beat quickened. DR.. Jaffer.

but at tn end of an hours work by

The heart was beating evenly

more stimulant and permitted his

briefly with him. The patients voice
was scarcely more lnan a whisper.
His wife was gratifed to hear even

HOKE SIGNED EN- in A HURRY.
Governor Kept Busy Keeping 8s From Going BY
eraI Failed to Receive His Sanction, Among Them
Being Three to Abolish City Courts.

Governor Hoke Smith completed
the work of passing on the bills en-
acted at the recent regular session
Of the legislature last Tuesday night,
winding it up only a few hours be-
fore the legal expiration of the time
allowed for passing on bills.
A large number of bills remained
over for the last day, and for time
it seemed that all of these had been
allowed to die. The law requires the
governor to approve or disapprovs
all measures within five days after a
session ends; if no action is taken by
him in that time on any measure it
goes by default, the same as if We
tOed.
Tuesday was in reality the sixth
day after the closing of the session
of the general assembly. Attorney
General Hart was called on to decide
whether or not the remaining bills
had any legal standing. He looked
into the law and found that prece-
dent permitted the chief executive
to omit Sunday from the five-day
limit. While the law makes no such
omission it has been done by nearly
all governors in the past, and was
therefore held to be legal on the
basis of common usage.
While it was generally understood
that the bill requiring that pensions
be paid annually would be vetoed
the governor decided at the last mo-
ment to approve the measure. He
