NELL BILL KILLED
BY GOVERNOR VETO

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 17-About
twenty minutes before the joint agree
ment for the hour of adjournment,
acting on official information given him
that the Neill election bill had passed
both houses, Gov. Harris sent to the
general assembly a special message We
tcing the bill. Upon its delivery to
tie house, Representative Cecil Neill,
Of Muscogee, author of the bill, moved
to override the governors veto. A
substitute motion was offered to sus-
tain the governors veto and on the
vote Gov. Harris was sustained by a
vote of 81 to Al, or more than two to
one.
All day there was aquestion of
whether or not the bill would get
through this session. inasmuch as the
definite statement came from the SEN
ate that members who had offered
to the bill to which the
house had disagreed would refuse to
recede from the amendments. Late
Wednesday afternoon, however. the
senate voted to recede from all amend
ments and the bill became law. 1t
was then ascertained that Gov. Har-
ris, having already made up his mind
to veto the bill, had prepared a veto
message to be transmitted to the as
sembly Immediately that official infor-
nation came to him that the bill had
passed This he did.
The effect of sustaining the COVER
nor's veto is that the state election
laws remain just as they have been,
and the state executive committee is
not shorn of any of its powers.

THE SUMTER-DOOLY BRIDGE.

From best information Dooly county
seems to have backed down on their
original proposition as to bridge over
the Flint river at Murray's ferry. The
necessary federal legislation has been
enacted to permit the construction of
the bridge.
Mr.. Arthur Rylander, of the board of
Sumter county commissioners, states
that Dooly made the original PROPOSE
tion-that she came to Sumter request
ing a conference and aid in building
the bridge. To this, Sumter agreed and
the wheels of legislation were begun
to turn to allow the bridge.
At the latest conference between the
commissioners held several days ago at
Murrays ferry, it developed that Dooly
would only agree to pay for her part of
the bridge to the middle of the river,
MI. Rylander states that Dooly's orig
iual plan was to pay half of the cost of
the bridge which would include the
main spans and the approaches. 1t was
Dooly's plan-and to this Sumter
agreed.
The Times-Recorder sincerely trusts
that the Dooly commissioners will
live up to the original proposition-the
plan which caused the first efforts to-
wards the construction of bridge.
Sumter stands ready and willing to
pay half of the cost of building the
entire structure-and this was what
Dooly asked first.

vanced from 100 to 200 per cent or
more, over price prevailing year ago,
seriously threatens the life of a large
number of publications throughout the
country and greatly lessons the profit
of others.
1t is doubtful if any other large in
dustry in the United States has had to
face so serious situation, because
when prices of raw materials have ad-
vanced the manufacturers of the finish
ed products have advanced their prices
and thus thrown the burden on the I'LL
innate consumer. In the newspaper
business this has not yet been done.
The newspapers, from the largest dali
les to the smallest weeklies, have been
bearing the burden which to many
publications will mean complete de-
struction and to many others the
wiping out of all profit.
Had the newspapers Of the country
been as prompt to defend their own in
terests as they have the interests of
others, they, too, would before this
have undertaken to save themselves by
an advance in subscription price and
in advertising rates. Under existing
conditions they will be forced to do
this sooner or later, and they cannot
postpone it much longer without SER
ious financial embarrassment to many
of them. Hundreds of the smaller
weeklies including the religious pa
pers, which have had but very mar
row margin between loss and profit,
will, we fear, suffer most seriously,
and many of them disastrously, unless
the public promptly recognizes the
situation and accepts an advance in
and in advertising rates
and thus saves the situation.

agerate the seriousness of the prob
lem.
