against the so-called mer-

legislation against the so-called mer-
gers.
The governor recently sent a mes
sage to the general assembly in which
he asked an investigation of the Par
ker company, On the ground that the
company was a combination that
might some day become a monopoly.
The message, with the resolution call
ing for an Investigation, was referred
to the judiciary committee.
The report of the committee is as
follows:
"The judiciary committee, to whom
was referred 1.-The governors message,
No. %, having reference to the Par
ker Cotton Mills company, and sug-
gesting the advisability Of an investi-
cation on the part o. the legislature
as to such company and its organiza-
ton, begs leave to report:
THAT this committee has carefully
considered the governors message;
that it has had before it at public
hearing the PRESIDENT of the Parker
Cotton Mills company. This commit
tee having itself no information, and
having received no evidence, justify
ing the charge, feels that nothing will
be accomplished by an Investigation of
it's character.
1T therefore reports that no fur
ther action is necessary with regard
to said message and recommends that
it be discharged from further consid-
Grafton thereof"

The race course bill has gone over
10 the senate. 1t went over exactly as
it was framed by the friends OF the
measure. No interference or amend
nent was permitted On the part of
any one not entirely friendly to the
legislation. AS Mr. Wander Horst ex-
pressed it, lit was a moral issue, or
ct least it was made So" and he rea-
ized that there was absolutely no pos
sibility of defeating or amending the
bill as long as the members conceived
that it was a moral issue, and that 1t
would be so garded by the people at

Governors Veto Was Oyerruled.
Thursday morning the senate, by a
vote of 20 for and 0 against, passed
over the governors veto the bill pro-
viding for an assistant superintendent
of education for counties with a popu-
lation of between $4,000 and $4,000.
This bill is local measure, as Spar
tanburg county is the only county in
the State that has population BE-
tween these figures. The committee
on education recommended the pas
sage of this bill over the veto.

State Warehouse Bill.

Perhaps the most important matter
to be acted upon during the present
week is the State warehouse PROPOSE
ton which had its inception In the
Pee-Dee section. It is a somewhat
noteworthy feature of this contem-
plated and important scheme that II
has never yet been reported upon Dy
the judiciary committee of either the
souse or senate as to how far it IN
wolves the credit of the State, or the
oegal Limitations Of the constitution.
The bill in the house was referred to
the committee on ways and MEANS
very probably because Of Section IT,
which provides: ''The sum of $4,000
is hereby appropriated for the conun-
gent expenses of said board, and the
sum Of $250,o0O to carry out the pur-
poses of this act is hereby approprlat-
3D." The senate has passed the bill
and the outlook is that it will be pass
ed by the house in very much the
same way. Of course, the direct ap-
preparation Of a quarter Of a million
dollars for the starting Of the under
taking will have to be met in the ap-
preparation bill.
