message was then cuntinu?d. Veto of Investigation Measure. The governor r"; turned to the sen ate with his reasons therefor the veto of the act providing for the investiga tion of the winding-up commission and the attorney general. Action on this veto was deferred until noon to morrow on motion of Senator Cariisle. The reasons are:I State of South Carolina, Executive Deuartment, Message Yo. ~. To the Honorable, the Members of the SEate of the State of South Caro lina-G-.ntlemen: I herewith return to you. withoat my signature, an act en titled "An Act to provide for an in vestigation of the acts and doings of the State dispe.sary commission and the acts and doings of the attorney general in connection therewith, and of the acts and doings of the commit tee oC the general assembly appointed under a concurrent resolution of the general assembly, dated January 31, 1905, and of the acts and doings of any other person or persons in any way connected with the affairs of the State dispensary and the investigation and winding up thereof." I return to you this Act, without my signature, for the reason that, in my opinion, under the provisions of the Act any investigation which would .have been held would have been en tirely one-sided and a useless and unnecessary expense to the State of South Carolina, and for the further reason that I decided to remove the members of the then dispensary wind ing-up commission and appoint an entirely new commission, which I did, and who had the power, under the then existing law, to do all that was provided for in this Act to be done by the committee to be appointed un der the provisions of this Act. I have absolutely no objection to the freest and fullest investigation of all matters and of all parties connected with the State dispensary system, and I will render to you, or to the dispen- ( sary commission, all of the personal,' qolitical and official information, in fuence and power, at my command, to bring absolutely before the public any and all transactions in regard to the said State dispensary, or any person or persons whio have ever been con nected therewith. Very respectfully, Cole. L. Blease, Governor. Columbia, S. C., January 9, 1912. Passed 35 to 2. The veto of the Act relating to New berry county, wh:ch was passed over; the veto by a vote of 35 to 2, on mo tion of Senator Johnstone, of New berry, was, the only one considered today. The governor's reasons to this are: State of South Carolina, Executive Department. Message No. 4. To the Honorable, the Meinbers of! the Senate of the State of South Caro lina-Gentlemen: I herewith, return to you, without my signature, an Act entitled "An Act relating to Newber Iry county," for the following reasons: First. Because the Act is not pro perly titled. i nerrswt Second. Because i nefrswt thealuties of the county commission ers as now constituted in said county. Third. pecause it is in violation of the constitution, Section XVII, Article III, Constitution of 1895, which pro 'sides: "Section 17. Every Act or resolu-. 'tion having the force of law shall re 1ate to but one subject, and that shall Sbe expressed in the title." lIn that it is proposed to be an Act ~to provide for bond inspectors in the county of Newberry, while Section 4 thereof provides that, immediately af ter the approval of the Act, the sheriff of Newberry county shall appoint spe cial deputy sheriffs for the term ofI 'to years, and provides their salaries and duties, among which are the pa :frolling and policing of the county, and to prevent or detect and prosecute for the violation of the criminal laws,I etc., this being in clear violation of the constitution, which provides that no Act relate to but one subject. And further, because the said deputies sbhaH be subject to removal by the! sheriff, for cause, and, -in my opinion, air officers commissioned by the gov-, ernor, who are not elected by the' people, should be under the direct control of the governor and should be subject to remova.l by him only. Very I respectfully, Cole. L. Blease, Governor. Coumbia, S. C., January 9, 1912. A message was received from the house notifying the senate that they concurred in the senate resolution for the joint assembly to meet tonight and ballot for fourth associate justice. Elections on Thursday. A concurrent resolution from the house fixing Thursday, at noon, for the time to begin balloting for succes *ser to the late Judges Klugh and Aldrich, and to Judges Devore and Shipp, and to Associate Justice Woods, was, on motion of Senator Hardia, re ferred to the committee on judiciary. Senator Christensen introduced a bill to establish Jasper county, which was referred to the committee on ju diciary. The senate adopted a. motion by Senator Carlisle that when the senate received from business it recede un til 7.45 p. m. At 1 o'clock the senate adopted the motion of Senator Mauldin and ad journed. In the House. Columbia, Jan. 9.-There was little tle house could do this morning ex cept to clear the decks and this was done, as Speaker M. L. Smith is a quick worker. When the house met, after prayers, Speaker Smith greeted the members with sincerity and cordiality and indi cated how fortunate the State was in that there had been no deaths among the entire membership. The house was not long in waiting for the gover nor's message. It came to hand ear ly. No advance copies having. been printed, the message was entirely new. There was no expression on the part of members as to what they thought of the recommendations-and they are many-but there will be evidences of what will be done later on. The house wanted to start the elec tions Thursday, but the sna-te went the house a bit better an 1 in this the house concurred, and therefore the i voting for an associate justice began tonight under the resolution of Sen ator Carlisle. Appointments Read. Speaker Smith announced these ap pointments: R. E. Carlisle, Journal! clerk; J. R. Arnold, bill clerk; W. S.I Bonner, general desk clerk; W. S. Tillinghast, secretary to speaker; doorkeepers, J. R. Kay, W. S. Turner, C. W. Teal; pages, Thomas. Trussell, Clifton McCain, Andrew McDill. Many were, of course, disappointed, as there are not sufficient places to go around for all who want positions. Veto Message Rea? The shoe-string county bill, about which there has been much said, was, reported as becoming law without the' approval of the governor. This bill is' lirected against what are called "ill shaped" counties. The bill as to the rural police in Sherokee was "left over" and the Spartanburg county rural police bill, Lhat has been v'etoed, will provoke a cucus. After this veto message had been read the house receded froi business1 itil the night session. TO BE UN~VEILED APRIL 11. Commission Inspects Women's Mfonu ment-Gen. Walker's State ment. Columbia, Jan. 5.-The commission or the women's monument met this aorning and visited and inspected the monument. It gives eminent satisfac-I ion and was received from the dis ~inguished artist, Mr. Ruckstuhl. The late of the unveiling was fixed for1 'hursday, April 11, as it was thought best not to attempt an open air func ion during the winter months.I Gen. C. Irvine Walker, chairman of Lhe commission, in reply to a question, aid; "You. ask about the invitations Lo the unveiling ceremonies. Well~ the commission considered this mat er m'ost carefully at two meetings mnd decided that the occasion should be, so far as they were able to make it, absolutely free of any political bearings. They desired that it should~ be ne where all the people and the -eterans, their sons and daughters' should unite in the most perfect har rony and without a tittle of political Siscord to mar its peace and sacred-! ness. .So, in sending out the invita ions, they carefully av'oided sending any to merabers .of the legislature, State officials, the judiciary or even to any of the distinguished citizens of our State. Such would practically all be included, individually, either in the class of donors to the fund, of veter ans or sons of veterans. The only special invitations issued in the State were to the members of the p-ress. Special invitations were sent to every camp of veterans and every chapter of Sons and Daughters, to colleges, schools and to the National Guard, and also to some distinguished people outside the State. A general invita tion was extended to all donors to the fund and to the people at large. "Furthermore, in any distribution of invitations, it., is very difficult to decide to whom to send them. Where to draw the line without giving offence was too hard a proposition for the commission. So actual conditions tal lied exactly with the determination to avoid politics and made more proper general invitation to all our people and specific invitations only to the veterans and their sons and daugh ters, who were to give and to receive the monument, and who were the of ficial representatives of the cause, to which our heroic women gave their devoted love, and to the youths of till schools and colleges and the young men of the National Guard, whom the commission thought should imbibe the sacred truths of the right ousniess of that cause and the heroism of the Women of the Coufederacy." RICHESON E1ARS SENTENCE. Preacher-Murderer Pleads as Desert ed of Hope-To Appeal for Clemency. Boston, Jan. 9.-With the appear ance of a man who had abandoned allI hope of life, the Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson stood today at the bar of justice, declared his guilt of the pre meditated murder of his former sweet heart, Avis Linnell, and without a tremor heard Judge Sanderson sen tence him to death in the electric chair during the week beginning May 19. While displaying remarkable stoicism the young Virginian appeared to those who crowded the little room, as if he were conducting his own funeral. To the half dozen questions which Judge Sanderson put to Richeson he answered without the slightest emo tion, always in the affirmative. Richeson's counsel declared after the proceedings that an appeal for executive clemency would follow soon and that every effort would be made to obtain life imprisonment as the punishment. As Richeson was called to the bar Clerk Manning said: "Clarence V. T. Richesop, this indictment charges you with murder an first degree. On No vember 13 you pleaded not guilty. Doi you desire to retract that pleading?" "Yes, sir," replied Richeson. "What say you to the indictment?" asked the clerk. "Guilty," was the reply, without a change in tone. "The only penalty provided by law," said Judge Sanderson, "for murder in the *first degree is death. Have you peaded guilty of murder in the first degree, after consideration and with the full knowledge and understanding1 of the nature and effect of such a plea?" "Yes, sir." "Is the plea made by you free and voluntary?" continued the judge. "Yes, sir." "Did you consult counsel with ref arence to the nature of the off ense and the plea?" Again came the simple, "Yes, sir." After the district attorney had read Richeson's confession, which wast made a part of the record, Judge San derson asked:- i "Clarence V. T. Richeson, have you I anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?" The young man apparently swallow- I ed a hard lump in his ,throat, but with :t even a shadow across his face,[ e replied:[ "No, sir; nothing further than I have stated." Rising in his seat, Judge Sanderson pronounced the death penalty, ending' with the impressive words "and may God in his inflinite goodness have mercy upon your soul."
