Another, and very important reason fQr my veto, is this: Botj your houses know, and every member of vour general assembly knows, that there are members of the sinkjng fund commission today who do not speak To each other. You know there is intense and bitter political strife in that commission, and yet, knowing of that strife, and knowing of that enmity, knowing that they are now struggling in a law suit in the supreme court on refunding of your Stale bonds, you are willing to place In their hands a $1,500,00 or $2,000,000 worth of property, and bring on another law suit, another struggle ,oid another scramble. Some members. of your sinking fund commission ck> jioT even attend its meetings.

If you did not know this, you certainly must not read your newspapers, or even your reports and "messages, for it certainly has been drummed into your ears that the sink ing fund commission has strife in its -ranks that is serious and that can *hard"l\ be ended, for I asked you to help me end it but you did not. And why you should pass a bill of this Kind, and place the disposal of this *TH 1 This l: J! _ .. aisiriDi L our custo low at the barga sense we don't inds get them of i nice thing about bai I of ours after that if Hart : less than regular pi tier good things too. ts and Overcoats now now now V* ATTT ilV w now _ : ps' Knee Pants Suits 25 pr ct c I Pants. now _ now now vart } \ property in the hands of this com- ] mission, knowing of this ill feeling and knowing of this strife, i^ beyond my comprehension. There is another very dangerous provision in the bill. Section 3363, Vol. 1, Code of Laws of 1912, provides: j "The lot upon which the hospital IctQa/^c padtainine- four acres." etc.. "is vested in the board of regents of I said hospital and their successors in J office, for the uses and purpose of j the hospital." Now, in order for the J sinking fund commission to .give title tu this property, this section has to be I repealed. If it is repealed, this property is taken out of the hands of the* I regents. And then who is to control this property and to perform the other duties now imposed upon the regents, pending this sale? You will see that you are attempting by this act to authorize one commission to sell land which is already vested in another, ! uj if tr? mp that if anv title ! is to be given to this property it should be made by and rhe sale conducted by this board of regents, in whom the title now vests. I am satisfied that a close study of this section of the code and a close study f your act will show you that there is an inconsistency which is irreconcilable, and which certainly will give sufficient foundation for raising a doubt which will justify securing a decision of tiie court in rererence 10 * the title before any purchaser will accept a deed from any other than the regents. I am further satisfied, of : course, that the regents can not make j a sale of this property except by order j of the general assembly. j I shall certainly fight the disposel ( j of this property at this time in this ; I > 1 s an imp .

Even if you should pass this measure over my veto, I would, if necessary, go into court and ask for an injunction, through the attorney general's office, holding up this sale. I shall do everything in my power that is fair and honorable to keep Ihis yaluable property from being sacrificed, and I warn you now that whatever may be the cost or expense, or the result, the responsibility will rest upon the shoulders of those who force this bill through, if it is forced through. T beg you not to make the issue, for it will cause turmoil and trouble, and will cost the tax-payers of Soutn uaroiina?l can noi say wuat sum of money, but certainly a considerable sum, in lawyers' fees and law suits before it is completed. Whatever the cost, I shall make the fight in their interests. Such a thing as this might have been forced down the throat of some governors, but it is not going down mine, gentlemen, and you had just as know it right now. If any of you had been kind enough to have advised with me or consulted me in regard to the matter, what I am now stating to you would not have i ' f- rpv.^ u;il v.r, neen Kepi ma irouu yuu. hk uas now been presented to me and I am giving you my reason fully and frankly. Put it in the hands of the sinking fund commission! Gentlemen, it is ridiculous. If you did not want it sold you ought to have said so, for this is certinly a most astute dodge. I hope you will not pass the bill and Hrincr nhnnt anv further unDleasant iiess among some of your State offi-cials, for we have had enough. But the most serious objection, as I have >artial benefits an equal cl ng in our clearan them; we'd like iat whoever gets one Vlarx i thing to pass up. I Underwear. ients now lents now.. t of Negligee Shirts, mostly 1 ind $1.50 grade now i t nobby colored Hats, $3.00 gri iobes, $3.50, $5.00 and $6.00 g Now $2.50, $3 I % )ds charged at these prices. 9 stated, is the sacrifice of the people's interest. There is another serious objection to the bill. You have a provision here which, In my. opinion, is clearly in violation of the constitution of your State. Section 7 of the act provides: "Each member of said sinking fund commis- { i sion shall receive as compensation ! for "his service the sum of $5.00 per day and all necessary traveling ex-. penses, "etc. Now, gentlemen your governor can not accept that; your comptroller general can not accept it; your attorney general can not ac cept it; your state treasurer can not accept it. It is clearly unconstitutional, and upon that ground alone I am satisfied a suit could be won ask| ing for injunction agains'tithe operation of this measure. But I do not want the turmoil and the strife, gentlemen, j and I ask you to save me, to save I 1 vnnronlroc o n rl trv MVP tllf> State I JUHlOti ? V/O uuv4 WV . ? from it. I would respectflly advise and earnestly urge that this mater be left , open until the next session of the | general assembly, for a law suit would possibly hold matters in statu quo until that time, anyway.
