ii GOVERNOR'S VEEFiS i TO~BE REHASHED INTO CAPAGN TlUNDER LATER. HE VETOED A L,9G0 MANY Refused to Sign Medical Inspection Act, and to Pass This Bill Over His Veto Will Probably be First Busi ness to be Taken Up by House When Legislature Meets Today. The Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says the South recalled in a special session last night, and probably one of the first things the House will have to decide during the recess session is whetner or not the act providing for medical I inspection of children in the public schools by a physician employed by the schools' boards of trustees is to become a law the "veto of the g0ov-1 ernor to the contrary notwithstand ing." The act with Gov. B3lease's veto message was returned to the House last Saturday night and re ferred to the committee on medical affairs which is expected to report soon after the House reconvenes. The medical inspection act was considered by many a decided for ward step. It was drawn with a view to protecting the health of children in South Carolina's schools, helping the boys and girls to acquire a sound mind in a sound body. Many of the ailments to which children are espec ially subject, such as adenoids. are recognized by physicians as an Im pediment to their mental, as well as physical, development. If a child suffers from such ail ments, the school physician is to re port the case to its parents or guar dian. Medical inspection of school children had the hearty endorsement of South Carolina Federation of Wo men's clubs and the South Carolina Medical Association. Medical inspec tion has been tried with success in the public schools of Spartanburg and Seneca. In a veto message, Governer Blease had cei'tain faults to find with the construction of the bill which he claimed was indefinite as to its pro vision allowing the school board to employ physicians. The remainder of the veto message was a democratic appeal to the prejudices, and it is safe, even at this early date to pre dict that, if Governor Blease is again a candidate for the oilco he now holds in the primary next summer. he will rehash part of this same medical inspection veto message into "campaign thunder." And. in this connection, a casual reading of the 42 messages. special and veto, the governor has sent to the general assembly already (and the end is not yet) reveals the fact that the majiority of them readily lend themselves to conversion into demagogic harangues. It is practi cally certain that Candi-jate Blease will inflict resumes of his specific messages to the general assembly upon the voters of South Carolina next summer. Of course. the House has expunged the vilest, of these special messages. the one which accomnpanied the ve toed libel act, from its record, but even this will probably not prevent it being used on the "stump" by the present governor of the state of South Carolina when he goes before the people to ask them for oice again on his "record." During the recess from last Sat urday night until next Wednesday night, the exodus of members of the Legislature from Columbia has been very general for the reason that so many of them had planned their bus iness affairs so as to get himn after Saturday when the session should have ended had not the necessity for a recess arisen. The appropriv'tion 1-il1 will proh ably be reported back to the House and Senate by the comnmittee of free conference Wednesday night. The members of the comnmittee, upon, whom rsts the important task of cor relating the differences of the House and Senate on the way the state's1 money shall be spent during 1912, are: Senators, W. L. Mauldin, P. L. Hardin. J. W. McCown and Represen tatives, L. J. Browning, T. J. Kirk land and F. M. C.iry. Would Bar Jug Trade. At Newberry the congregations of Central Methodist church and the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church Sunday adopted petitions to congress asking for the passage of the Kenyon-Sheppard bill, which is intended to remove the protection of interstate commerce from liquor' shipped into "dry" territory. Other~ organizations in Newberry have adopted and forwarded to Washing ton similar petitions. This ought to be done in all the "dry" counties. Then there would be some chance toj enforce the law.

Family Nearly ALL Viped Out of Existence by Con plications With Measles. The following sad story of a Spar :nburg family is told by the Jour za of that city in its last Monday's ssue: - Lula Tuckner has joined Horace. Iaud and .rs. 'Buckner. The fourth euber of this family died last night it C, o'clock after an illness of about wo weeks. She lived just one week .fter Horace passed away. Ruth fol owed three days later and on last saturday morning the mother died. Du top of this Lula followed them to he beyond last night. There remains in this family now he husband almost crazed from rief and sorrow: Norman, the 14 car-old boy. who according to phy -icians, has but a little chance, ana who may soon join his mother and brother and sisters. Then there is iiarvey, the bright, blue eyed boy, who after the other members of the family are buried, will remain to comfort his aged father in his last days on earth. .cross the street from the Buck ner cottage. there is a married daugh t.er of Mr. BIuckner. She, with a very young child, is desperately ill, and maiuch anxiety is felt for her. Yesterday afternoon at J. F. loyd's undertaking establishment. :he funeral of Mrs. Buckner ana Rluth was held. The father, stricken with grief, was crazed and paced the floor back and forth, wringing his hands and refusing to be soothed. The mother and Ruth in the same casket were laid to rest beside the ody of Horace, who had been buried searcely a week. The fatber turned to his little home to asaist in nursing his daugh ter. Lula and the son Norman. Luli told him yesterday that whe would 'ie before morning. And last night, the angel of death visited the home for the fourth time during tke week and took away Lula. Tom Mathews. the undertaker, went to the home early this morning. He found Mr. Buckner walking back -nd forth in the street, knowing not what to do, an I the two children, the only two remaining, kneeling at the side of the bed where there lay the dead body of Lula. The funeral was held this after noon at 3 o'clock, at Mr. Floyd's on North Church street, just 24 hours after the mother and baby had been buried. She was buried beside Hor ace, Ruth and her mother. Is tnere any wonder that Mr. Puckner, and :he remaining children are nearly in sane, after losing four loved ones within seven short days? FOUR KILLE) WHiILE ASLEEP. Seventh of Series of Similar Crimes Tet Unexplained. Ethel Love, a negress, her son and two daughters, were killed Monday night. in their cabin near Beaumont, Texas, -the seventh of a series cf sim ilar cr'ites which have occurred within several months in Southwest era Louisiana and Southeastern Tex as, and in which the number of per sons killed now total 29. In each instance the sir.yer, be lieved the same person, battered the beads of his victims with an axe as they slept. Invariably the weapon used has been left near the bodies, but no other evidence has been found which might lead to an arrest. As a rule, the negroes killed are obscure residents of small settlements and no muotive can be assigned. The first occurrence was at Rayne. La., when a mother and four chil dren were killed. At LaFayette the victi-us nu~mber four, next came Crowley, La., with a famnily, consist iag of father. mtother and one child. LaFayette was then next with anoth er family of four: then at Crowley a w.omtan and her three children were killed on January 18. On January 2t a family of fl;e was murdered at Lake Charles. The crime Monday night was the seventh. WOMAN WANTS D)IVORCE. Hfusband in the Penitentiary for Try ing to Kill Her. Because, she alleges, her husband is now serving a term in the South Caroina Penitentiary for shooting at her, Mrs. WV. Frances Snoak has brought divorce proceedings in Chat ham Superior Court at Savannah, Ga.. against J. E. Staak, her husband. First papers were filed Monday. This couple was married in 1904. She charged, along with the more serious allegation that Smuoak ma~le an as sault on her, that he is an habitual drunkard. The assault, she charges, ocurred in September, 1910, in South Carolina. A shotgun was used, she alleges. and, although she was not hit, the shot splintered the door facing near which she was standing. For this offence Smoak is now doing ime in the sister State Penitentiary, she avers. Mrs. Satoak wants her maiden name of WV. Frances Rice re stored to her in the final decree.

Driven before one of the coldest rexas "northers" of the winter, fire early Wednesday burned a huge ir rcgular strip throught the eastern .esidential and manufacturing section >f Houston. It swept across million dollar plants and flimsy frame struc ure with equal ease, until fully five million dollars damage had been lone. Although no lives were lost, more than a score of persons were injured. while thousands were driven from their homes and suffered the sting of the freezing temperature. The burned area by daylight was a mile and a half long and from a city lock to a quarter of a mile in width. Bu:falo bayou, a narrow coffee col ored stream, was the scene of the bat tie royal against the flames. Here, after the fire had swept on. with scarcely a semblance of control, four hours, the firemen made a desperate stand and although the fire leaped the bayou at places, the conflagration was checked. The fire started in a two-story frame structure near Hardy and Ope lousas streets and spread to a feed store. Then it jumped simultaneous ly to three more frame boarding houses and the roar of the flames on a 35-mlo northwest wind began to be ominous. The Star and Crescent hotel, a brick structure, next caught. From that moment the fire seemed beyond control. Driving ahead with frightful rapidity, it swayed from side to side and tongues of sparks some times seemed to reach out three blocks ahead. all the time eating teadily toward the more thickly pop ulated section of the city across Buf falo bayou. At times the bolts of flame would become detached. lighting on houses perhaps two blocks distant and firing them. A score of times womer had just time to seize their babies and dash madly to the streets. With hundreds it was a race for life and these made no effort to save property. As the flames advanced a erfect army of night-clothes clad men, women and children formed and dashed on and on, being driven frcm one place of refuge to another by the progress of the flames. Cool heads, finally realizing the danger. assumed charge of the situation and in a short time compelled refugees to go to the rear of the destructIve ilames. WANTS TO SAVE THE PARTY.

The British steamer Cuban, which arrived at Liverpool Sunday night from New Orleans brought into port nine of the crew of the British ship Erne which was wrecked in a heavy storm at sea. The Erne was bound from Boston, February 1, from Bue ios Aires. The Cuban passed her on ebruary 8 in latitude 40 north, long titude 50 west, and rescued those of tho crew who had managed to keep themselves alive. Six of the crew were drowned while the master of the Ere, Capt. Fickett, his wife, the sec ond mat, and a passenger, are miss ig. Only the cargo was keeping the wreck afloat. Upsetting an Argument. The Sumter Item says "the advo cates of the Charleston race track in their arguments before the Legis lature laid great stress upon the fact that race tracks were permitted in Virginia and no attempt had been made to interfere with the noble sport of horse racing and the profit able graft of furnishing gambling data to the pool rooms of the balance of the country. Now comes the low er House of the Virginia Legislature tnd passes an anti-race track gam bing bill by a vote of 52 to 21." Such "sport" as they have at the race course near Charleston will not be tolerated annywhere. It has been run out of New York, New Orleans, Chi ago, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, and now Richmond, where they have re ently gone, have told them to move an. This being the case, why should they be allowed to fasten themselves an South Carolina.

JAMES MARION SIMS THE STATE WILL PAY TRIBUTE C TO fLE R NOTED SON. Something of the Life and Work of J One of the World's Greatest Phy sicians and Surgeons. The General Assembly of South Carolina has provided an appropria-IF don of $5,000 to erect a suitable a monument to James Marion Sims, on b the State house grounds. The amount h was given .by the general assembly on h the condition that the medical pro- r fession of South Carolina raise an c additional $5,000, making the total amount available $10,000. e It is thought that the question or j raising the fund will be brought be- t: fore the next meeting of the South s Carolina Medical Society. The reso- n lution for the appropriation was In troduced in the house by Mr. Kirk- r land. S James Marion Sims was born in b Lancaster county, South Carolina, on c anuary 25, 1813. He died in New r York city on November 13, 1883. He was graduated from the South Caro- 1 lina College in 1S32 and later studied - medicine at Charleston and Philadel phia. He began the practice of medi cine in 1835. Dr. Sims resided at Montgomery, Ala., from 1840 to IS53, where he became known for his successful operations for strabismus and clubfoot. In 1S45 he mode known his hypo thesis on the cause and proper treat ment of trismus mascentium. The effectiveness of the treatment was later demonstrated by a loag series of experiments. In the same year he began experiments to test a treat ment he had conceived for vesico-va ginal fistula, in the course of which he devised the silver suture and sev eral instruments, the chief of which is the duskbill speculum, known as the Sims speculum. In 1853 Dr. Sims removed to New York city and shortly began a move ment for the establishment of a hos pital for the diseases of women. A temporary structure was built in 1.55, and a charzer and appropria don were granted by the legislature in 1857 for the permanent institu tion, built in 1SG6 on the pavilion system. Dr. Sims went to Europe in 1361 and performed the operation for vesico-vaginal fistula in the hospitals of London, Paris, Edinburgh and Dublin. In 1862 he settled In Paris and secured a lucrative practice. He practiced in London from 1864 to 1868, and in the latter year returned to America. He was again in Paris in 1S70 and was surgeon-in-chief of an Anglo-American ambulance corps that treated both French and German soldiers after the battle of Sedan. In 18 72 Dr. Sims was appointed a member of the Woman's hospital of New York, but resigned in 1874. Among his published works are "Clinical Notes on Uterine Surgery" (18S65), "Treatiest on Ovariotomy" (1873), "History of the Discovery of Anaesthesia," "The Story of My Life" (1884). A bronze statue of Dr. Sims is in Bryant park, New York city. JUDGE JONES IN WASH~INGTON. On Per'sonal Business, Refusing to Discuss Politics.

A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., says a local comedy that beats "Pigs is Pigs" took another turn to add to its ludicrousness. Wednesday night a freight wreck in the western end of he city released 700 hogs from the ears in which they were being trans p:orted and the pokers spread over a large section of the town. Residents saw a chance to lay in a winter sup ply of food and corraled the pigs, eonfining them in the cellars and eve'n parlors.
