An yea and nay vote is necessary on each item. Thos(e about the room had been keep ing tab found that the vote stood 46 to 22, then there were appeals to mem bers to change over, and Mr. Bowman gave the South Carolina University the 47th vote, which made thle- two thirds vote and then there went up the loudest, the sharpest and 'the heartiest applause. It was as unexpected as the message had been, and wh.en the result was certain another cheer and I a whoop ralg forth. ' Speaker Shocked. Speaker Smith was so shocked that I he talked of clearing the galleries and floor, but he repented and uttered a warning.

Mr. Wood ward Dixon,. who stood for all the colleges, rallied to support of Mr. Mc Dow, but only six members, Messrs.

Th.'" o'nv ernor's veto was sustain'd, 47 to 24, whioh the speaker 'held was one short of the two-thirds vote necessary. Had Mr. Beamnguard voted, the result would h'ave bee~n different, and the veto would hiave. failed., The 'house voted for artesian well for the colored college.
