EXAMINATIONS FOR CHIR PRACTORS HELD Columbia, Feb. 1.'-Several min isters and other prominent, citizens, men and women, testified before the medical affairs committee of the house of representatives at a largely-atten ded hearing on Tuesday afternoon, on the bill to create a state board of chiropractic examiners. The bill would create a board of three chiro practors, to examine and license all members of this profession. Rev. J. Sprole Lyon, of Columbia; Rev. J. O. VanMeter, of Columbia; Rev. J. G. Graham, of Charleston; Rev. Templeton, of Laurens, and Mrs. Hal Richardson, of Columbia, were the star witnesses, all testifying to cures effected by chiropractice. There has been a fight between the medical profession of the state and the chiropractors for several years. An act of the 1921 legislature, intro duced by the state medical society, bars chiropractors, unless they stand examinations before the state board of medical examiners. Several chiro practors have been prosecuted in var "is parts of the state because they are not licensed by the state board of medical examiners. The bill to create a state board of chiropractic examiners was introduced this year and is now before the medical com mittee. It would require examina tions in many subjects required by doctors.
