me up he stepped on the gunwale of
the boat and, lifting his hat, smiled
down at me.

GREENWOOD MAGISTRATE.
House Passes Measure Over Veto of
Gov. BleaSe.


The veto message on the bill Civ
ing w. X. Kerr, magistrate at Green
wood, his back salary, was sent to the
house from the senate last night and
became a law over the governors
veto.
Mr. Magil wanted the vetoed bill
referred to q committee In order, he
said, that he might make a statement.
He said the Greenwood magistrate
case was now before the supreme
court
Mr.. Nicholson asked the house to
vote on the vetoed bill at once He de-
clared that w. H, Kerr, Confederate
veteran, had served as magistrate and
should be paid, in spite of the fact
that Gov. Blease had seen fit to over
| ride the recommendation of the dele
cation and had tried to put in an
other man.
Mr.. Magill spoke again along the
same lines as in his first speech.
Mr.. Bowers declared that Magis-
rate Kerr had earned his wages. A
'ajority Of the delegation wanted
him paid. He asked for immediate
action
Mr.. Nicholson declared that the su.
preme court was considering whether
or not the other claimant to the of.
flee was entitled to the salary he
claimed. The court was not passing
on Magistrate Kerr, yet Mr.. MagilI
asked the house to wait on the de.
cision, which had nothing to do with
the question.
The governor had not treated the
Confederate soldiers in Greenwood
county fairly, but had trampled down
the law because Magistrate Kerr hat
the good fortune, or the bad fortune
not to support in the last election his
excellency. Magistrate Kerr hat
served faithfully. At least two ac.
tions at law had been brought tc
oust him, but both had failed, SAID
Mr.. Nicholson. And now an effort was
being made to delay paying the ole
Confederate veteran his just dues
The people of Greenwood were salts.
fed with his services. Over 400 oil
them had signed a petition asking the
delegation to appoint him.
The house refused to refer the
vetoed bill and message to a commit.
tee as Mr.. Magill OF Greenwood re.
quested.
BY vote of SO to 10 the house
passed the bill over the governors
veto, and it became a law, "the veto
| of his excellency to the contrary not.
withstanding"
