COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The annual meeting of the county
board of commissioners was held last
Wednesday pursuant to the duly ad-
vertiSed announcement.
This meeting should have been held
on the first Thursday after the first
Monday in January; but statutory re-
quirement for it having been overlook
ed by the former board, Supervisor
Boyd decided that the law should he
complied with as nearly as possible
and gave the lawful notice providing
for the holding of the meeting at the
earliest possible day after he took
charge.
There were present Supervisor Boyd
and Commissioners Lumpkin and Ay-
cock. The sole purpose Of the meeting
was to audit such 1910 accounts as
were presented in compliance with the
advertised announcement, and these OF
which there were quite number, had
the right Of way.
With the exception of the auditing
of accounts, very little business of i'm
portance was transacted out of the
usual routine.

en- up and finally put through the de-
tails of carrying out the scheme be-

will prepare the way for action at this

was proposed. The proposition direct
ed the preparation of bill to carry
out section of the 14th amendment to
the Federal constitution, so as to cut
down the representation of any state
exactly to the extent that the negroes
were disfranchised by such state.
This proposition was defeated after
considerable speech making, 70 to 4S.

When the bill was being passed to its
third reading Tuesday, Mr.. Ashley sat
unconcerned in his seat without any
thing to say. But on the question of
final passage he got busy and made
big row. He explained that on Tues
day he did not know the wishes of the
mill operatives with regard to the mill;
but later he had gotten kilograms and
hence his fight. Despite a hard fight,
however, the bill passed it's third read

Representative Sanders voted for 1t.

HUNDRED YEARS OF PEACE.
To Celebrate Centennial Of Good Will
Between America and Great Britain.

The senate yesterday expressed its
approval of the plan to hold a cele-
bration Of the hundredth anniversary
Of the establishment Of peace between
Great Britain and its great daughter,
the United States. The centenary cell
ebration is expected to be the culmi-
nation of a movement which has as
its object the adoption of an arbitra-
ton treaty between Great Britain and
the United States. 1t Is hoped that
this treaty will provide peaceful means
for the settlement Of any question that
may arise. The movement has the
support Of many influential men and
women in the United States.
The concurrent resolution approving
the celebration was introduced by Sen
ator Mauldin of Greenville.
It was as follows:
81. That we witness with great
pleasure and satisfaction the move
ment to celebrate on a gigantic scale
the centenary Of peace between this
country and Great Britain and feel
an especial interest In the undertak-
ing as this state was so active and
prominent in bringing on the conflict
of arms and conducting it to sue
cessful conclusion one hundred years
ago.
"2. The country fought there that
we might have lasting peace, and as
remarkable coincidence that John c.
Calhoun who introduced the resolution
declaring war in December, 1911, as
member Of the national house Of rep
resentatives did more than any one
else perhaps, when war was threat
ened on the oregon boundary question
in 1S46, by his speech and influence as
a senator of the United States to ar
rest the movement for war AGAINST
Great Britain at that time and pro-
posed then and there that settlement OF
all future questions between English
speaking people by arbitration as a
substitute for the sword and predicted
in specific terms that this proposed
agreement on the part Of two such
powers as the United States and Great
Britain would ensure the future peace
of the world. We extend to all engag-
ed in the movement to celebrate the
centenary Of peace an assurance OF our
most cordial sympathy and a pledge
Of our hearty corporation. THE
State, Wednesday.

That is quite an interesting situa-
ton that has been brought about be-
tween the governor and the supreme
court over the appointment of spe-
cial judge to preside over the Rich
land court. AS will be seen from the
correspondence published elsewhere. 1t
will be noted that the governor claims
the right above all things to give pref
erence to his friends as against his
enemies; but in this case we are not
right sure that this is the sole issue
involved Above this is obedience to
the constitution of South Carolina.
According to the constitution as quot
ed, it will be noticed that when there
justice of the supreme court must
notify the governor of that vacancy
and it is the business Of the governor
to fill the vacancy. According to the
act by which the general assembly
seeks to carry into effect this
provision of the constitution, the chief
justice must not only notify the gov
ernor in the case of a vacant judge
ship; but must recommend a man to
fill that vacancy and the governor
must appoint on that recommendation.
The question is constitutional. If the
section of the statutes quoted were
section of the constitution instead then
it would seem that there would be no
question of the fact that it is the duty
of the governor to appoint whomsoever
the supreme court might recommend;
but the constitutional provision as it
stands seems to leave room for a very
different procedure. TO us it rather
looks as if the chief justice has nothing
to do in a case like this than to advise
the governor and it is up to the gov
ernor to do the balance. In this view
of the matter, the governor is secure
in the position he has taken. But
there are other considerations involv-
ed. Under the constitution upon
which the governor must rely it is the
sole duty of the supreme court to de-
clare the law, and to interpret the
constitution. 1t is for the supreme
court to say whether the statute in
question is in accordance with the
constitution. After the supreme court
has spoken no one else, the governor
nor the general assembly has a
right to a say so. What will be the out
come of this interesting situation, we
shall not venture to predict but pre-
fer to wait developments.

EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIARY.
Situation That Seems to Suggest Awk-
ward Conflict.

Governor Blease informed the SUI
preme court yesterday, in so many
words, that he has no intention of ap-
pointing his enemies to office, upon
the recommendation of anybody" but
expects to see that his friends re
ceive at least some consideration from
this administration" The message
was sent in connection with the al
most unprecedented action Of the gov
ernor. in disregarding the supreme
courts nomination Of former Attorney
General Duncan Ray of Columbia. to
be a special judge for the Richland
county common pleas term commenc-
ing Monday next, and appointing in
stead his friend, Mr.. James F. j. Cald-
we'll of Newberry.
The supreme court has not as yet
made any reply. The correspondence
in the matter was given to the press.
without comment, along with the usual
minutes of the days proceedings and
the list of decisions filed. This letter
from the governor, coming close on the
heels of his message relating to trus-
tees, which contained a paragraph re-
flecting to some extent on the supreme
court, has aroused much interest
among members of the bar, who say
that such things are almost without
parallel in the history Of the state.
The correspondence in the matter,
given here In full, explains itself:
