Columbia. Mr.; Stevenson was
right in his supposition that
Governor Blease might have made but
q hurried examination of the child
labor bill which he sent to the 1ouse
for correction. It was determined
upon close examination that the bill
was crudely drawn, to be sure. yet
Its provisions were not exactly a
violation Of law.
When the message from Governor
Blease was received, Mr.. Stevenson
moved that it be referred to the judi.
ciary committee, "and I don't care to
be on the subcommittee" added Mr..
Stevenson. The judiciary committee
took the same view that Mr.. Steven
son had and appointed a subconmit-
See to confer with Governor Blease.
u The subcommittee, consisting Of
!Messrs. Fraser, Stevenson and w. L..
Daniel, waited on Governor Blease
and he agrsed with them. The bill
was written by an attorney with legis-
lative experience aad the author, Mr..
Osborne, had had no experience and
introduced the bill as handed to him.
Mr. Stevenson and Governor Blease
dictated the message which was sent
TO the! house withdrawing the mes
sage of the night before.
The message was as follows: ITO
the house Of Representatives: After
consultation with the subcommittee of
your Judiciary committee, we aSree

L UohoIds Governors Veto.
The matter of oyerruling the veto
of the governor came up in the SEN
ate and that body refused to pass the
bill in question over the veto. The
bill was one of providing for the en-
forcement Of the dispensary law lin
Dorchester county and provided for a
local constabulary for that county,
taking the county out OF the general
enforcement of the dispensary law by
appointment from the governor.
No More State House Balls.
The house adopted w. L. Daniels
resolution that the hall of the house
be not used during the recess except
for the Democratic state convention.
For 20 years a fight has been made
TO keep the state ball out OF the state
capital and it was not until this year
that the effort was successful.
Teachers Summer School lifted.
The general assembly has made no
appropriation for state summer
school for teachers to be held at Win
throp college. The Peabody board of
trustees recently gave $1,000 for "a
summer school. 1t was estimated
that an additional 5000 would be
necessary for Successful school. No
such appropriation has been made.
