with the governor on .some of t.he pro- lc

clearly what' he believes are grave de- f'j

om.<-vno- objections being that the jt
bill tends rather away from than
[towards a state system and that the licenses'ttlone
will ndt be sufficient to-'

ujjon how speedily the peace treaty jr

Like a bolt out of the clear came js
the announcement Monday that fj
President Wilson had vetoed the bill Sj
pro^i<fing for the enforcement of war
time prohibition. assigning*as a reas- tl
on that the army and navy having it
been practically demobilized, the' law t]
had served the purpose for which it rn
was enacted and there was no fur- tl
ther necessity for it. The house of f(
representatives promptly passed the
measure over the president's veto by a ^
vote of 176 to 55, the South Carolina ^
delegation voting solidly to override ^
the veto. " ' ' -c'
( n Tuesday the senate, by- a vote
of 65 to 20. did likewise, so that the ?
e
lavr becomes effective the president's .
veto to the contrary notwithstanding."

PLANS FOR MEMORIAL.
Special to The Dispatch -News.t
V
Columbia, Oeti 28.?The State
Convention of the American
Legion, in session here today, went
squarely on record as opposing the
hospital idea for the memorial to
soldiers and sailors. By a vote oC
ten to-ono-^do^present-plans were
endorsed. '
"
Col. T. C. Callisoa. county chairman,
for the building fund to erect a suitable
memorial to the South Carolina
soldiers who served in the world war,
is laying plans for an intensive cam
; paign next week to raise the quota assigned
to Lexington county. It is
planned to start the movement on
t
Sunday, when every preacher in the
! county is urgently requested to menj
tion the matter from the pulpit at the
i usual services. Committees have been
j appointed' who will make a personal
|canvass for funds. endeavoring to
| reach everybody. Col. Callison wishes
| to announce, however, that it will be
j impossible fo~ the committees to
j reach every one desiring to contribute
I to the cause, especially in the rural
! districts. He wishes to emphasize
i that no person need feel neglected if
! he or she is not visited by a solicitor,
but that any contribution they wish
| to make can be sent direct to him.
Subscriptions, so far as possible,
will be for cash, ar.d receipts will be
issued by the solicitors at the time
these donations are made. If. however.
it should not be convenient for
i any one to pay cash at the time of sub.....
. .:
scribing. a' note bearing ho interest
, will be taken, to be paid in either
thirty or sixty days. It is believed,
, however, that rhe great majority of
| subscriptions wili be paid at the time,
t thus saving the exoense involved in a
. v,
i collection system/ It is intended by
i the- Memorial Commission that all
j moneys subscribed to the Memorial
i Fund shall'actually go toward the
1 , t ?..r
j erection of the Memorial "itself with
| the exception; as a matter of course,
i of the small expense Incurred in putI
. , ... ..-4 :
, ting'on the campaign.
I Lexington county's share_i.s $1,950
and" Col. Callison thinks it ought to
:.be.-&asy for the committees to raise
this amfafht.,>-if a good active campaign
is carried-on. He has received
some very encouraging reports from
I various sections of the*" county and
f ' r t 0 "' V ' . V
; feels quite confident that when the
j final roll is called Lexington County
P i?j! * -'j?**,
j will not fail to- make ai creditable
I showing. It wiilaiotdo. however, for the
! committees to take too much for
I granted, hut rather to put forth every
j effort to make success sure? Because
| the amount asked is small jnany may
| take it , for granted that /the money
will come voluntarilv without much
effort. Such an idea may? be fatal to
the success of the campaign. Col.
Callison hopes that each .and every
committee and lo.cal chairman will see
to it that everybody,has an opportunity
to subscribe to tjihe fund. If this
is done there is no doubt but that Lex
j inerton will at least measure up to the
| amount set for her. ?
