ELLERBE ON THE JOB.
Gets Liberal Appropriation for
Rivers and HarborS.

Washington, February 24:-Rep-
resentative Ellerbe, South Cardinals
member of the River and Harbor
committee, is in a happy frame of
mind over the fact that the COM
pleted list of South Carolina pro-
jects that have been put into the
river and harbor bill about to be re-
ported, totals good deal more than
the delegation thought it possible
to obtain, and much more than the
aggregate of the recommendation
of the army engineers.
Mr. Ellerbe says that the following
projects will be in the bill, carrying
the amounts named: Winyah bay,
S152,000,in addition to the 100000
in the Sundry civil bill for the same
project. (Mr Ellerbe says that the
engineers recommended only Sl2, 900
for Winyah bay, and that he sue
ceeded in getting $4,000 more).
Waccamaw river. S25, 900; inland
waterway between Charleston and
McClellanville, $1,000; Great Pee
Dee river, $4,000; Ashley river,
S51, ,l50; Santee, Wateree and Con-
garee system, S64, 900; Mingo creek,
$4,000; Archer's creek, SIS, 1000;
Shipyard creek, $4,000.
In addition to the appropriation
mentioned the bill will provide for
surveys of the Congaree river, the
Black river as far as Kingstree and
the waterways between Georgetown
and McClellanville.

tons, as explained by the Finance
committee for the reason of this
appropriation, so completely over
balanced that of the Governor. that
this vetoed bill like the rest, became
law, His Excellency's opinion to the
contrary Notwithstanding. 1t was
explained that the items aggregat-
ing 81 900 for the heating plant at
the negro college was absolutely
an economic measure. this being a
less expensive method than furnish
ing fuel and stoves for heating the
buildings in the old style, and, be-
sides, the Governor was one OF the
trustees of the college who author
lied the putting in of the original
heating plant, but he now vetoes a
provision for its maintenance. A
careful study of the vetoes and the
reasons therefor will reflect the
opinion that the General Assembly
in the three items sustaining the
three vetoes acted on practical
grounds and plausible argument.
The Citizenship bill, providing
that Only citizens shall vote in the
primary elections, was also passed
over the Governors veto. This, per-
haps, is one of the most important
act passed at this session. It's sole
purpose is to keep foreigners and
aliens from participating in our Pri-
mary elections and can only affect
cities and sections where foreigners
congregate. So far as our small
towns and rural sections are con-
cerned the elections will continue as
is their usual custom and not sim
gle white voter will be deprived of
his accustomed privilege at the
polls.
There is no work of any kind on
the calendar and unless something
is sent in from the Governors office
a decision as to adjournment should
be reached within a short time after
the Assembly reconvenes.

RIDE LIGHTS ON
MATTERS LEGISLATIVE
WHY SESSION WAS PROLONG-
ED..MOST VETOED BILLS PASS
ED---RLEASE'S INCONSISTENCY.
Columbia, February "a: - The
failure of the General Assembly to
complete its work was a distinct
disappointment to every member
when it became apparent on Satur-
day that final adjournment could
be had on that day, and that the
ession would necessarily have to be
continued into tie coming week.
Though tired and worn out,it is the
almost unanimous opinion of the AS
sembly that it is the part of wisdom
to continue the session for at least
a few days longer. The recess idea
has not yet been disposed of and is
almost certain to bob up again be-
fore action on adjournment is def
nitely concluded. The determine
ton on the part of the General AS
|np>ubly to make a clean sweep of
entire work, leaving nothing un-
shed for the next session to COM
tie, makes it absolutely necessary
br a few days more of work.
While His Excellency, the Govern
or, seems disposed to allow the
greater number of acts to become
laws without his signature, there are
still a few measures considered un-
important, which have not yet left
the Executive office and at least
one or two of these seem destined
! come vetoed acts. Besides,the
Col.aty Supply bill, which is equally
as important as the Appropriation
bill, is still without his approval.
Of course, it would be most unrea-
sonable and altogether unexpected
should the Governor refuse to give
this bill his approval, yet there are
sections of the bill which, if closely
studied by him, will certainly re-
ceive either a veto or some severe
criticism, inasmuch as several of the
counties have attempted to regulate
some local matters in the Supply
bill which they have so far failed to
adjust directly with the Chief Ex-
ecutive. Should any section of this
bill fail to become law it would
cause considerable confusion in that
county whose section might fail to
become part of the law.
Thirty-one items were vetoed in
the Appropriation bill. The major
ity of these items relate to clerical
assistance in the various State de-
partments of government, some of
which were identically the same as
provided for last year and to which
the Governor raised no objection.
Only three of the thirty-one vetoes
were sustained: the item providing
for Railroad Inspector, to be under
the Railroad Commissioners, at a
fsalary of s1,SO0; the State Game
Earden, salary s2,4O0, and the item
hiding for the payment of claim
something over $1,000, which
seemed to have gotten into the bill
without having taken the usual
course through the Claims commit
tee. The largest and most impor-
tant item vetoed was that of S15, ,O0C
allowed for repairs to the present
Insane asylum. The Governors
reason for this veto seemed on its
face very plausible and correct
y;ou,. hut the sctI1al existing cOndi-
