geOlOgiSt. By vote OF o5 TO II the
house refused to sustain the COVER
nor's veto on a fund Of S4O0 for the
Beaufort arsenal.
No Inspectors.
By a vote of 81 to 81 the house sus-
tanned the veto by lacking the neces-
sarv two-thirds vote on the appropria-
tion. for two inspectors for the depart
ment of agriculture. By a vote of 81
to 9 the house refused to sustain the
veto on the $1,000 item for the pure
food inspector. The item goes back in
the bill. The code commissioner gets
his $3.50, Notwithstanding the leto.
Mr.. Rembert and Mr.. Kibler lead the
fight to retain the item for a new
auditorium for the University Of South
Carolina. Mr.. Williams objected to
the appropriation ard said the State
could not afford to spend the money.
Mr.. Riley called the previous question.
Then came the roll call. An yea and
nay vote is necessary on each item.
Those about the room had been keep
ing tab found that the vote stood 46 to
%, then there were appeals to mem
bers to change over, and Mr.. Bowman
gave the South Carolina University
the 47th vote, which made the two
thirds vote and then there went up the
loudest, the sharpest and the heartiest
applause. It was as unexpected as
the message had been, and when the
result was certain another cheer and
whoop rang forth.
Speaker Shocked.
Speaker Smith was so shocked that
he talked of clearing the galleries and
floor, but he repented and uttered a
warning. By margin Of one vote the
house refused to sus tain the veto on
the University auditorium item and it
goes to the senate.
No Heating Plant.
The house declined to override the
governors veto on the $4,000 item to
make the University heating plant of
any avail. The veto OH this was 40 to
27. Mr.. Tom McDow made a ringing
speech to override the governors veto
of the $4,000 item for an extension of
the infrmary at Winthrop Mr.. Wood
ward Dixon. who stood for all the
colleges, rallied to support Of Mr.. Nc
Dow, but only six members, Messrs.
Ashley, Davis Harris, Hutto, Irby and
Williams, voted to sustain the veto
and 81 against, so the $4,000 for the
infrmary went back into the bill.
The item for critics for Winthrop was
also sustained, SO to II, and remains
in the bill, the veto being overruled.
There was no veto on the Citadel. The
new building is provided for in the
bill. The new building for Winthrop
is also left without gubernatorial in
reference. The item for new build
ings; at the University is the only one
/. involved. The house voted to over
rule the veto and the question goes
to the senate to be concurred in or
voted out. The heating plant at the
colored college was left out Tho ooV-
ernor's veto was SUSTAINED, At to "a,
which the speaker held was one short
of the two-thirds vote necessary. Had
Mr.. Beamguard voted, the result
would have been different, and the
veto would have. failed. The house
voted for artesian well for the colored
college. The governor cut out the ST.
900 and the house refused TO sustain
the veto, so to H..
: ., StenQgrapher for Tate.
The house refused to sustain the
veto of $72O for a clerk and steno-
grapher to Prof. Tate, who has to have
SOME one in his office while out in the
State. By a vote of 55 to Is the veto
! was not sustained. Mr.. Ashley To-
bias led the fight to override the gov
ernor's veto on the $4,000 item for the
Confederate home, in Charleston. Mr..
Todd supplemented his efforts and
had Mr.. Ashley cast his very first vote
against sustaining the veto. The
house allowed the, $4,000 item by a
vote of IS to over the governors S
veto. The Charleston members on the
floor got busy and Won on the house
side. Mr.. Browning explained why
the Industrial college at Florence
needed the new building and improve
ments. DR.. Dick gave al eloquent
picture of the work done at the re-
fornlatory and explained how neces-
sary the help was. c,1r. Dixon wanted
| the veto sustained, but the house by
