SlQeS, The SJaLe mas now du
institution at f lorenzo
and last year made provis
ion for a similar institution at
Columbia, therefore, I doubt the
success OF Mr.. Mitchum's bill. 1t
is my judgment the legislature
will go exceedingly slow this
year in the matter of establish
ing anything new which will re-
quire appropriations, and the
body will also exercise great
care in providing for the institu-
tions already here; the governor
! has put the general assembly on
notice that unless they give the
people an economical admins
tration, he will put his knife into
the appropriation bill deeper
than be did last year. He told
US that in making the appropri-
ations we had better have the
two. thirds majority, and be pre-
pared to pass the bill over bis
veto, or he will eliminate what
he regards exravagance, so I
say, I hardly think Mr.. Mitch
um's bill will be seriously con
sidered at this session. First, for
financial reasons; second, the
necessity for such an institution
in the face Of the industrial bone
at Florence, and the rescue home
! in Columbia. The following is
the text of Mr.. Mitchum's meas
ure:
Section. l. That there is hereby
established under the care of the State
