Editor The Herald and News: The
greatest words of tongue or pen just
at present are those by which Cover
nor Blease vetoed the Richland coun-
ty medical school inspection bill.
Grand he has also been in opposition
to compulsory education and child la
Dor laws. 1t looks as if South Caro-
lima is to be the only State where the
tyrannies of doctors, educators and
ministers are to be checked. I say
ministers because they are in partner
ship with the others and are also seek
ing throughout the country to sup
press sinners by law rather than con-
vert them by the grace and love of the
Gospel, as did Jesus Christ. The
masses will have a great awakening
ere long.

The house considered the vetoes up
until o'clock, when it adjourned un-
til 3:3O, when the remainder of the

hospital COR the negro college; $1,000
for the negro fair; and the entire item
section II that, "In anticipation OF the
taxes herein before levied, the gov
ernor and the State treasurer and the

penses of the State government for
the present fiscal year, and for pen
sicns: Provided, The sum so borrow
ed shall not exceed the sum of $780,
00O."
The governor in vetoing this item
said: Gentlemen, you know the feel
ing that exists between the governor
and the State treasurer and tne comp
troller general, You are aware Of the
trouble that was experienced in 1913,
in reference to this matter, and
again ask you not to place me in the
same position, and 1 appeal to my
friends to sustain me in this veRo."
During the morning session the
house sustained about two out Of three
of the items vetoed by the governor.

the governor said to Mr. Youmans:

not understand what the governor was

would take mis- medicine, but he want
