MORE ACTS VETOED BY COVERNOR BLEASE DISAPPROVAL NOT CONFINED TO APPROPRIATION BILL. Others Tetoed Are: Act Relating tc Distribution of Dispensary Funds, Libel, Etc. Columbia, Feb. 20.-The veto c1 Cverr,or Blease did not end with th( appropriation bill. Today he place, the seal of disapproval upon severa: acts of the general assembly, includ ing the commission form of govern anent act, especially affecting Char leston. To the people of the State, at large - the most important veto of the gover nor today was that to the resolutior providing for the distribution of th( dispensary fund of nearly $400,000 two-thirds of which was to be distrib uted this year among the commor schools, a part to the high school and a part for the building fund oJ schools. Opposed to Commission Form. In regard to the commission form of government, Governor BleaAe said: "I am opposed to the commission form government in toto." As to the commission bill that was ratified on the last day qf the session and, did not reach the governor -until the last night, today he vetoed the act. This also affects Spartanburg. As to the dispensary fund going to the schools, he explained that there are "inaccurate and fraudulent enrol ment existing among the negro schools of the State." The dispensary fund distribution bill was introduced into the house by -Mr. W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, who 'was attorney for the winding-up com mission and . who was familiar with the matter. The vtto of Governor Blease is taken to indicate that for another year this fund must remain in the State treasury. Provisions of Stevenson Act. The Stevenson ac%, which Governor Blease vetoed, provided for a distribu tion of the dispensary fund among the schools, covering a period of two years. The amount to be paid out thereunder in 1'11, was M40,000, of which $100,000 was to be distributed among the free schools on the basis of enrolment; $20,000 was to be de voted to the building of new school structures; $60,000 was to be distrib uted under the school equalization act, "and $60,000 was to be distributed un der the Girris High School Act. The rest of the fund to be distributed in * / ~ omewhat the same way in 1912. By the governor's veto 'of the Stev enson act, the schools' are niot alto gether deprived of 'benefit from the dispensary fund, however, for the general approp.riations bill carries two items, which tge governor did not veto, as follows: "For extension of -public schools, under act of 1910, to be paid out of the dispensary fund, $60,000." -~ ~ "Public school buildings, under act N.o. 480, acts of 1910, which is to be paid out of, the dispensary fund, $20, Libel Bill Held Up. * There will be a hearing next week on the libel bill, which Governor * Blease has not yet signed. The act in regard to libel hnd civil proceed * ings in reference thereto, has been vetoed on the grounds that it would cause more killing than ever before. "'The newspapers have too much lib * erty now," said Governor Blease. Affecting Spartanburg.. 'The measures providing for rural ,poiti in Spartanburg, Cherokee an? Z3ewberry counties were today vetoed \by Governor Blease on the grounds that the appointive power was pla'eed 'wita the sheriffs of the respective <:ounties and not with the governor. Governor Blease takes the same po sition as he did in vetoing the act with reference to a dispensary consta ble foi Dorchester county. He thinks that the power of appointing to such positions should be left with the gov er1ior of the State. An act to provide for an assistant county superintendent of education ?or Spartanburg county was vetoed. H{e said that he did not think that an asistant was needed. "Duke" Railway Act Vetoced. Governor Blease vetoed the act giv ing the Piedmont and Northern Rail 'way its rights and sanctioning the 'uerger with the old trolley li::es in the uip-country. This is the $5,000.000 Duke project. Governor Blease gives as his reason for this veto that the act confers unlimited power upon the proposed corporation, which he does not helieve should be given. Inl addition to vetoing measures, Gorernor Blease spcke plainly today of his reasons for taking the steps he did on the appropriation bill, and of his plans for the future as to appro priations. He especially regards the expenditures for State colleges as ex travagar.t and says iat next year he will do the same as this year, if the1 amomnts are 'a large as they werej this year. Action lndiate(d by Speeches. More particularly Governor Blease today characterized as untrue the statement that he had not let it be known generally that he would veto items in the appropriations bill and that members of the house and sen ate, therefore, had no reason to len, here thinking the bill was safe. He referred to these probable vetoes in his stumnp speeches, it will be recall ed. Not only did Governor Blease veto the bill with reference to the distribu tion of the dispensary fund, but he says that certain other items as to the colleges this year would have b een vetoed, but fcr the fact that this would keep them from being run in 1911. However, he added that he is i now putting the members of the gen eral assembly on notice that if the items for the schools are as high next year as this, he would use his veto power. He believes that the State in stitutions are receiving too much money. The governor, in his interview, was especially plain as to the office of State geologist. He said that when the term of Mr. Earle Sloan has ex pired he' would not appoint anyone to fill the vacancy, thus abolishing the office. He thinks the position a need less one. As to Commissioner Watson's office, he was positive that the factory in spectors must go. The appropriations for these were vetoed Saturday night. The two factory inspectors are Messrs.' Alex McDougal and S. M. Sloan. -Governor Blease also stated that he would "fire" the.,commissioner if the factory inspectors were continued in office. Gov. Blease has vetoed the jury.ex emption act because ministers of the gospe~ -are not exempted from jury 1duty the measure. Under the measure the following I are exempted from jury duty: State I officers, members of the senate and -the house of representatives during the sessions of the general assembly, members of the senate and the house of representatives of the United States judges and justices of any court, county auditors and treasurers, clerks, of court; sheriffs and. their deputies, coroners and constables; the marshal-s of the United States and their depu ties, counselors and attorneys at law and these actively engaged as phaysi cians Qr licensed pharmacists. THE FIRST-WOMIAN. An Old Eastern Legend That Tells' How She Was Created. Collier's Weekly. The -last section "Of a Finger of the Moon Reddened by the Setting Sun" in the Sanscrit work called the "Surging of the Ocean of Time" contains a le gen'd concerning woman's creation which is common-ly credited through out India, and which runs somewhat as,follows: At the beginrning of time, Twas'htri, the Vulcan of Hindoo my thology, created the world. But when he wished to create a woman he found he8 had employed a,ll 'his ma,terig.le in' the creation of tian. There did not remain one solid element. Then Twashtri, perplexed, fell into a pro found meditation. He roused himself to do as follows: He took the light ness of the leaf and the 'glance of the fagn, the gaye'ty of the sun's rays and tears of the mist, the inconstancy of the w.'nd, and the timidity of the hare, the vanity of the peacock and the soft ness of The down on the throat of the swallow, the harshness of the dia mond, the sweet flavor of honey, the erelty V, the tige.r, the warmth of fire, the chill- of snow,,the chatter of the jay and 'the cooing of the turtle dove. He melted all this and formed a woman. Then he made a present of her to man. Eight days later the man came to Twashtri and said: "My Lord, the creature you gave me poisons my existence. She chatters without rest, she takes 'ill my time, she laments for nothing at all and is always ill." And Twashtri received' the womian again. But eight days lat er the man came again to the god and said: "My lord, my life is very solitary since I returned this creature. T re member she danced before my singing. I recall how she glanced at me from the corner of her eye, that she play.ed with me, clung to mec." And Twashtri returned the woman to him. Three days only pas.sed an'1 Twa shtri saw the man coming to him again. "My lord." said he, "I do not under stand exactly how, but I'm sure the wman ennses me mrore annoyance than pleasure. I beg of you relieve. me of her." But Twashtri cried, "Go your way and do your best!" And the man cried, "I cannot live with her!" "Neither can you live without her," relied Twashtri. And the man went sor'rowf illy :way, murmuring, "Woe is me; I can neither- live with her nor without hr." riday, F The Sacr4 To be repe4 Benefit Clege Athlet New Features-in Children' Prices - 25, 3 A im What kind of SI Two Doflars Bu: Perhaps you've been taught by ex perience not to ex pe ct much for .$2.00.
