SUPPLY BILL PASSED,
ONLY TWENTY VOTES TO SCS.
TAIN VETO.
House Unwilling to Let Bill Go We
tocd in Part, Partly Unchanged.

Columbia, March 5.--The house
received message yesterday morning
from the governor vetoing certain
items in the county supply bill relat-
ing to Beaufort and Greenvillc coun-
ties. The message said that the gov
ernor did not intend to veto The en-
tire county supply bill. The message
quoted section Of the constitution
which the message said gave the
chief executive the right to veto
separate items of any bill without ve-
toing the whole Of it. The bill as a
whole was passed over the veto by a
vote Of IS to 20, after some debate.
Mr.. Nicholson of Greenwood asked
I for a ruling from the chair on the
question whether or not the vetoing
of items in the bill affected the whole
bill. Speaker Smith ruled that, in his
personal opinion, the vetoing Of
items in the supply bill did not affect
the entire bill.
On motion of Mr.. Kibler, the sup
ply bill, with the veto message, was
referred to the judiciary committee,
with instructions to report to the
house at $50 o'clock.
At the afternoon session a major
ity of the judiciary committee recon-
mended in a special report that the
supply bill as Il whole be passed over
the veto without reference to the
parts Of it objected to by the gov
ernOr.
Mr.. Stevenson said that the inter-
ests Of all the counties were jeopar-
died by the vetoing Of the supply
bill. He said that should there be
any question as to the validity of the
bill no county taxes could be collected
this year, nor could the counties bor-
row any money Mr.. Stevenson ar
gued that the supply bill should be
passed as n whole without acting on
the parts objected to in the veto mes
sage.
Mr.. Stevenson held with the ma
jOrity Of the judiciary committee that
the bill must be passed as a whole
over the veto, because it was not
signed by the governor, and that no
part OF the bill could be changed
without invalidating the whole of it.
Mr.. Mi.ey of Bamberg, speaking for
the minority Of the committee, held
that the parts Of the supply bill
vetoed should be voted on separately
and then as a matter OF precaution
that the whole bill should be vetoed
on.
Mr.. Hardin of Cherokee and Mr..
Welch of Richland also addressed
themselves to the question whether
or not the majority or minority re-
port should be adopted.
BY vote of Ga to so the house
adopted the report of the majority of
the judiciary committee requiring
that the supply bill be passed as IA
whole without reference to the parts
20 which the governor objected.
Mr.. Miley said that he intended to
stand by the report Of the ma jOrity,
notwithstanding his personal opinion
on the matter
BY a vote of IS to 20 the house
passed the supply bill as whole over
the veto.
The following members of the
house voted against the passage Of
the county supply bill over the veto
OF the governor"

analysis of the cerebral contor-

leghtful relaxation to those who

This is not in any sense of the

little moral concealed in the story
lis so evanescent in character that
to lay hold of it bodily would be
impossible, yet having finished the
book the reader almost un'

strengthening and uplifting has
been added to his view of life. The
originality of the "Dandelion

closes, gives touch quite out OF

that it actually occurred adds rare

in James Forbes newest comedy hit,
"The Clever Woman"
In the role of Emily Lamson, the
mother, Miss Robson has a wide field
for a display of her versatility in
portraying parts of pathos as well as
comedy. There are few actresses who
can make people laugh as can Miss
Robson and in "The Clever Woman"
she shows she can mix in few tears
with the smiles.
Matthew Lamson plans to marry the
only son to a society butterfly but
the son falls in love with Mary Law
renee, his fathers secretary. Devot-
ed to duty, Mary repulses Lamson
Junior, until the father discharges
the secretary on suspicion of intrigue,
when the son abducts her in an auto
