J. ! This is an application to the Court, in the eercise of its oxriginal Jursdction for a writ of mandamus directing the comptroller general to issue his warrant on a fund in his hands alleged by the petitioners to have them j appropriated by the legislature for re- j .building the hospital for the insane.! When the bill in question was sen:! I by the house to the senate it contained, two items under the caption! State Hospital 'for the Insane. Item : 1 provided for the maintenance of the "hospital; salary of the superintend-1 ent, $5,000; and salaries of the regents, j Total, $317,000. Item 2 provided for; an appropriation for rebuilding the! hospital. amounting to $100,000.

It also adopted an amendment strik-. ing out Item 2 and substituting in lieu thereof the following: "In addition to the levies above i 1 provided for an additional tax of oneha'f mill upon all the taxable property in the State, is hereby levied, to provide ''or the payment of the de- j velopment and repairs of tlie State Hospital for the Insane, in the city of Columbia and at State Park, as pro* vided by the appropriation in this act: Provided, that, any amount raised by. this levy in-excess of the amount herei in appropriated for this purpose s"hall be covered into the general fund of the -treasury. The .:oiiowing sum is hereby ' appropriated: Item 1.

The report o' the committee wa adopted by both the senate and house and the amendments which they pro posd were ea^bodied in the act untie consieration. The recapitulation of the variou items of the appropriation in the ac provides for an appropriation of $41 o 000 to the Hospital for the Insane.

The Senate amendment did not hav ! the force and effect of cnangmg tn provisions of th bill in any respec whatever, but it was a mere pro posal. which could only 'become ef fortivo in case it was accepted by th house. The house, however, refuse to concur in the amendments, thus ne cessitating their submission to th committee of free conference, j Furthermore, when the senate re ! ccded from its proposed amend men the effect was th same as if it hai ne>er been adopted by that body. tn f-nrislriir t hp a c which contains the amendment recom mended by the committee o' free con fercnce and adopted by both houses The last c'auee of the amendmenl S which is now a part of the act, is a j follows: j "Be it provided that the governor ; the comptroller general and the Stat ' treasurer be, and they are hereby, au' thorized to borrow and pledge th j credit of the State for an amount no j 'exceeding $.r>0,000 in anticipation o , the collection of taxes, if it be Ifoum j by the regents that it is necessary t expend for rebuilding a sum greate than the amount of $100,000 liereii appropriated during the year 1916/' It contains two provisions, one beinj the appropriation of $100,000 for re building tfre hospital; and the othe authorizing the officils therein namei to borrow* and pledge the credit of th< State for an amount not exceedini $50,000 in anticipation of the collec tion of taxes, if it should be found t>: the regents that a sum greater thai $100,000 was necessary for rebuilding during the year 1916.

(J. .viarcft u.? une : thousand seven "hundred and fifty-eight men in the employ of 'Southern Railway company, representing all ranks ! and all classes from general officer to ' blacksmith helper, who have exceed j ed years or continuous sennet? vu 1 the road, will shortly be awarded a ' medal by President Fairfax Harrison | in recognition' of t'heir achievement and | to commemorate tlieir honorable reci ord. The presentation (x the medals ! will be made personally by Mr. HarriI ecu to all those entitled to chem during j the next two weeks. In announcing ! the plan, the following statement was j issued by President Harrison: i "Southern Railway company has in i its service 1,758 men of all ran'Ks and i classes, from general officer to blacksmith helper, who have exceeded 25 years of continuous service on the road. There are indeed, 34 men who j have exceeded 50 years of sucn service, ,! and it Is also of interest that there are | 235 negroes on the list. These men are I the best men the company carries on t its rolls, for they have proven their j loyalty and their fitness '.'or their several responsibilities in the ' hard ! school of experience and by survival ' of the strict discipline which is neces sary in the administration of a railroad ". To recognize their achievement and to ' commemorate their honorable record, j the company has arranged to award i each one of them a medal which they j can wear to long as they live and hand ! down as an heirloom in their families." ..; The medal is of hronze, of highly .! artistic and success ul design. It is .'the work of the clistinguisnea scuiyior . Victor Brenner of New York, who was 1 recommended to the company by the : United States director of the mint. /The % artist is -best known, perhaps, for his ! design of the current Lincoln peany. | The obverse of the medal bears the j | inscription, "Southern Railway Com. nnnv 'For T.ovaltv/' and shows an actual scene on the road; a section of ! modern double track equipped with ; automatic signals, with an all steel 5 passenger train running through the j mountains o." north Georgia. Presi-j ,,; dent Harrison's plan was to show a j typicay industrial scene with a 'factory I in the background, but the sculptor would not agree that a factory was capable of artistic treatment and ensistjj ed on mountains. It is, however, for? tunate for the company and for those 8 who will wear the medals that ttiere 3 are factories on .the line as "well as ? scenery. J The reverse of the medal shows tviw of modern railroading: I } a telephone dispatcher at his ewitcliboard, a section gang engaged in main' tenance and a large heavy power press . to represent the shop crafts. Thus each principal branch of the service is indicated. On the reverse is also . engraved the name of the man to whom 5 the medal is awarded, with the dates en" his service record. f i IBHBg Im I mm 1 jypfl j!;i| If1!
