IC'olumbia, January 22.
General ord>?r Xo. 2, issued by a
former governor of South Carolina,
pi'rport^ng to disband the organized
militia of this State, was declared
"void and of no effect" by a proclamation
signed yesterday by Gov.
Richard I. Manning. The proclamation
was issued after the governor had
consider?.! fcbe question for several
days. The National Guard associai'oi
had filed a petition with the gov
ernor asking that the disoanamg order
be rescinded. The order of Gov.
Manning will automatically restore all
of the 31 companies to their former
condition.
The proclamation by Gov. Manning
follows:
"Whereas, general order No. 2,
heretofore issued on the 11th day of
January, 1915. by tlb-e governor and

ALABAMA TO JOIN

LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES VETO
BY GOVERNOR
t
Henderson's Snsjyestion of Referendum
Voted Down by Large Majority.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 22.?The
Merritt prohibition bill today was
passed over Gov. Henderson's veto by
both houses of the Alabama legislature.

Dy tne governor proviumg tur a. oiaic-1
wide election on the question was
overwhelmingly defeated. The new
law is effective after June '20, next.
T'.:e vote on repassage of the measure
was 70 to 33 in the house and
34 to 10 in the senate. A two-thirds !
vote was necessary.
The Merrill bill is modeled after j
the Carmicnael bill under which Ala- j
bama was made prohibition territory i
in 1909. The Camichael bill was re- j
pealed two years later, following aj
Statewide election at which a pro- j
1 osal to make prohibition a part of i
the,State constitution was defeated.
Gov. Henderson personally appear- j
ed before a joint session of the legis- j
lature and explained his action.
"I disapprove the bill," he said,
"and suggest that the voters of the

The Reason He Does So From th*
Physical Point of View.
Laughter is ;in involuntary response
of certain muscles to a communication
from nerves controlling their action
We laugh because w*? receive an lm
pression through our sensory nerves
that causes a demoustration from the
muscles which express mirtb. The
rigor or heartiness of laughter depends
upon the susceptibility of the brain tc

The muscles have the power to express
the state of gladness, indicated
by laughter, according to the positiveness

laugh less heartily the second time
you hear a funny story because the

The hm aisd popularity of pearls date
back 60 about 300 B. 0., bat the.v were
known to yet aider peoples, and especially
to those of the east. The Chinese
records go still farther back, and oyster
pearls were received as tribute in
the twenty-third century B. <j. it is
probable that they were found in the

Trustees X.ike Statement as to Financial
Affairs of State's Agricultural
College.
The State.
"I bespeak of your earnest am1
careful consideration," said Gov.
Richard I. Manning in a message to
the general assembly yesterday transmitting
a memorial from the board of
trustee? mf Clemson college. The
memorial was sent to the governor by
Alan Johnstone, chairman of the
board of trustees. The paper contains
a complete report on the financial affairs
of the institution. It is pointed
out that the conditions have arisen
since the preparation of the annua!
report for th? college.
"Tlie hoard of trustees did not '"eel
tliatjthty would ha/e fully met their
duty to.the people and to the general
assembly and to the college and its
interest? without setting out foe possible
ccntingervcies that may arise on
account of the conditions growing out
oi' the European war and its common
disasters and, therefore, they are asking
through my han! that you as governor
submit this information to the
general assembly," says Mr. John
stone jn bis letter to the governor.
"We desire to make clear at thispoint
t&at we shall not ask for an appropriation,"
says the report by the
trustees after reviewing the financial
affairs of the college. * *
The following requests are made:
In order to contii^yie certain phases
of the public work for 1915-1916 the
State be authorized to borrow and
lend to the college $62,400, if so much
be necessary. The loan would stand
as a debt against any excess of the ?;
fertilizer tax over the amount required
for the college proper during ?'
future years.
To continue the work planned for
tf:e fiscal year a loan of $25,000 is ,
asked, the fertilizer tax to stand as
security.
The trustees- state that unless tie
above loans are made that the public
work irust be curtailed during the remainder
of this fiscal year and next
year.
"It is scarcely necessary to add'tkat
every possible economy ronsistemt
with efficient operation is boing practiced,"
say the report.
