THE TELEGRAPH ACT IS SIGNED
lsy Governor Cooper-Says He Does
Not Think it Constitutional,

ColumDla, May 4.-GOVernOr II.
A. Cooper yesterday signed the act,
passed at the last session OF the Gen
era! Assembly, requiring telephone
and telegraph companies to transmit
all messages originating in this State
for delivery in the borders Of South
Carolina to be delivered by the most
direct and practical route within the
state. Effort was made to get Gov
ernor Cooper to veto the bill because
NJ it's alleged unconstitutionality and
the excessive amounts necessary to
be expended BY the wire companies
to make It's provisions operative.
When he signed the bill Governor
Cooper gave out the following state
ment:
II am in grave doubt as to the
constituaionality Of this act, but
since there is doubt feel that
should solve that doubt in favor Of
the act and let the courts decide the
question.
"It was urged before me that it
would be great hardship on the
telegraph companies to transmit all
intrastate messages wholly within
the State. My construction Of the
act Is that telegraph company is
required to transmit messages origi-
mating in this State and for delivery
to another point in this State by the
most direct and practical route. If
there is no practical route wholly
within the State between the point
Of origination and the point Of de-
livery l have no doubt that such
company would have the right to
transmit the message by some prac-
tical route without the State. The
act, therefore, when properly con-
strued, will require telegraph com
pany to transmit and deliver mes
sages wholly within the State where
they have practical route for such
delivery"
The following is the text of the
act:
Section / Be 1t enacted by the
General Assembly Of South Carolina
A message delivered to telegraph
or telephone company within this
State for transmission to any other
point within this State shall be as a
matter OF fact, and regarded as a
matter OF law, as and for an intra-
state transaction, and shall be trans
mitted by such company by the most
direct and practical route within the
State.
Section .. That for any violation
Of this act said corporation shall be
subject to penalty OF $500 for cacl,
violation, to be recovered by the
party aEgrievcd. and forfeit its right
to do business in this state
"Scction 3. Nothing herein CON
tanned shall bar any action for actual
or punitive damages growing out of
any violation Of the provisions Of this
act, and any cause OF action may be
united in the same complaint"

"sOME" EXAMINATION PAPER.
The Author Of This One Could be
Given Credit for Random Shot.

Every once in a while we see in
swers to examination papers given
by would-be teachers. Some of them
are SO far from the points in the
examination as to create doubt as to
! newspapers are really the ones set
| down by the one being examined or
| are thu product of some wag getting
off IL good one on the would-be in
structor. Here, however, we repro
duce the answers given in the recent
! examination for teachers certificates
| held at the OcOnee Court House. We
| do not know which one Of the ones
! who stood the examination is the
| author Of the answers to the ques-
| tons. 1t is evident, however, that
| the school trustees do not need to
feel any worry over the possibility
of getting the author for a teacher
in any Of the OcOnee schools. We
will not even divulge the number by
which the author was known in the
examination, SO that among those
who read this there may be none
who will know the name Of the au-
thor Of this extremely interesting
set Of answers. unless it be the au-
thor himself, herself or itself and
God. God knows everything, and if
the author of this paper knows that
it is his or her production, he or she
Is fortunate indeed, for that knowl-
edge will be all that saves him or
her from being classed among those
| who know nothing.
| The examination we reproduce is
given under the head Of
History.
