Interesting Question Raised by His

Contemplates.
Circcnvillc News.

N!rrnNlllc News
Columbia. Sept. 4.--Thc old ques-
tion as to the right of member Of
the legislature to hold the Office Of
elective trustee of Il State college is
very likely to come up again at the
next session of the general assembly.
IT is a question that should be set
tied once for all.
AT the last session of the general
assembly. Mesrrs. John G.. Richards,
Jr., and Coke d. Mann, both mem
bcrs Of the house, were elected trus-
tees of Clemson college. They have
both now been reelected to the house
Of representatives,, and it is Il serious
question with many who have looked
into the subject whether they can
hold both positions.
Mr.. Alan Johnstonc, who has been
elected to the senate from Newbcrry
is Il life trustee of Clemson under
the will of Mr.. Clemson, and it is
held that his status is different from
that of Mcssrs. Richards and Mann,
but The issue was raised against him
in the campaign in Ncwberry.
The law requires all Officers Of
the State to be commissioned by the
governor but with few exceptions the
trustees Of the State colleges do not
trouble to get commissions and it is
thereby implied that they do not
consider themselves officers of the
State. AT some time serious 1ucs-
tion may be raised in this respect
and i, will be we'll enough to have
the whole matter decided by some
competent authority in time.
The meeting of the State board Of
education today will likely be the
last meeting under the administra
tion of Supt. Martin, as it is fire.
nucntly necessary to hold meeting
in january or in December before
the new officials come into Office. The
governor may at the beginning Of
the year have two vacancies on the
board to fill by appointment. If
Mr.. w. J. Montgomery is elected to
the senate from Marion, he will
doubtless resign from the State board
Of education, as that has been the
custom if not the law. Prof. A. r.
Banks who has been on the board
longer than any other member, has
8removed his residence from the fifth

Of the royal veto was when King Hen

power in refusing the sovereign's as

is recorded in the journals of the house
Of lords.
Since 170S the veto has never been

exercise of royal power of rejection
toward the close OF the reign of George

TON TO PROCEED.

Upon the motion OF Robert Study
attorney for the defense in the case
OF Simpson Oxendine ct al VS.. Noah
Williams ct al, the restraining order
that had been granted Wednesday
was dissolved in as far as it con
cerned Ulysses Cook, the contractor
who was named as a defendant. The
court has instructed Cook to proceed
with the work of redecorating the
church. The hearing of the petition to
make the Injunction permanent will
be August Is.
The claim is being made by some
members of the Bethel A. NJ. E.
church, whose trustees are involved in
a squabble, that the suit was brought
as matter of spite work. The asser-
ton is made that it is the desire of
the plaintiffs to endeavor to hold I'D
the work now in progress so as TO
necessitate a postponement of the date
for the dedication, August 16. In
their complaint the plaintiffs assert
no provision was made for the extra
expense that will result from the ad-
ditional improvements. The Rev. Mr..
Williams, pastor of the church, claims
the money required to meet the extra
expense has been raised
The dedication will be held on the
esting program has, been prepared and
the event will be of importance to

which Charles Dudley Warner bap-
tiled Our Italy"
California is wild and almost I'M
