BOND ISSUE BILL
KILLED BY BLEASE
Ry Withholding Action on Measure lie
Makes It Impossible for Election on
Question

VucStlon. :,
Columbia, Nov. 2.-The cotton bond
issue bill is dead. The governor sent
the general assembly message to-
night in which he said that he intend
cd to withhold executive action On the
bill and would not return j. 70 the
general assembly
The house adopted report from
the judiciary committee to the effect
that the time limit within which the
governor could hold the bill without
his signature, the general assembly
being in session, would not expire un-
til tonight at midnight. In conse-
quence Of the election under the bond
issue act being set for Tuesday, it
will be impossible for the people to
pass On it..
There can, therefore, be no valid
election held on the question OF issu-
:ng $24,000,000 in state bonds to be
lnaned on part Of the cotton crop
raised in South Carolina, since the
act has not become a law.

action on the bond issue bill was re-
ceived by the house little after 9
o'clock last night.

act was passed by the house and SEN

provided that all acts passed at the
special session should become eiicc-

passage over the governors veto. The
governor said in the message that the
act was unconstitutional and set a
dangerous precedent.

ASSETS WERE TOO LIVELY
Receiver for . Bankrupt "Pet" Shop
Asks to BE Relieved Of Very
,&l Irksome r ask.

III Pittsburgh-Receiver A. B.. Fell, APP
pointed to take charge OF the bankrupt
estate Of Irwin F. Myers Of McKees-
port, consisting of a pet" shop, has
complained to Deputy Albert Cook Of
the United States district court that
the assets are altogether too lively
and familiar, to meet with his approx.
al. Receiver Fell has asked to be re-
.lieved OF his charge. but he was told
there was no chance. 81 :555
When the receiver entered the store
one OF the assets, q dog, made avid
rush at him. Fell tried to back away
but the dog was too quick Then four
assets, encouraged by the success OF
the first one, surrounded him.
Just as the receiver had recovered
from the fright caused by the dogs he
felt a sensation on one OF his legs. He
clapped his hand to his trousers leg
and captured a rat. AS he looked down
he found . number Of other assets"
evidently awaiting a chance to get
one OF the two trousers apartments. N.
Backing around q dimly lighted
room, he discovered another asset"
postum This was enough! He
beat hasty retreat from the place
and called up Clerk Cook in the United
States court. The answer was cold
and clothed in the austerity OF the
court. He was told he must stay un-,
til the court had disposed of the pc,
titions in bankruptcy, for he had fur
nished bond Of $500 for the faith.
