the express companies from
charging for the return of money collected
on C. O. D. packages, were all
contained in th9 message.
Concealed Weapons.
The Govcnor recommended that the
Jaw against carrying concealed weapons
be repealed and amended so as to
provide for those desiring to carry
pistols to take out a thirty-day license
with the clerk of court and the publishing
of the list of such license
holders and the making the violation
of this law a prisun sentence
without the alternative of a fine, and

down the warrants of his detectives
and accuses him with having
seriously interfered with the enforcement
of the laws and ask that
it be made mandatory on the comptroller
general to pay his warrants on
his contingent fund. He ask that an
act be passed making it necessary for
the chief justice to hold in his hands
the certificate of a reputable physician
that a circuit judge is ill and unable

in his place, hie recommends that
Clover and immediate section of
York County which suffered so severe
ly from the storm last- year be exempted
from taxes for the year.
The Hosiery Mill
The Governor renews his attack on
cotton mill mergers and again recommends
that the hosiery mill at the
state penitentiary be abolished. He
attacks trust and combinations and
cites the Carolina Public Service cor
poration as a trust. This is the company
which has been buying up ice
plants through out the state within the
last few months.

of all the people.
