In the house today, by vote OF
Ga to 81, the friends Of chirpractics
forced the substitution Of the Free
man bill on the calendar for the com.
mittee report which called for high
educational requirements. Charles
Miller enemy OF the doctors, worked
for the substitute and said the com
mittee report was also a blow at
Christian Science healing.
More bitterness has developed over
the Johnston bill to repeal the law
creating the state highway commits
sion and the friends of the county
supervisors say they have enough
votes to put it through tomorrow.
Governor Clarke has SERVED notice
he may veto the law by re-appoint-
ment of H. c. Beard, of Mt. Ayr, OF
