thanks of this committee are 01
cordially and gratefully extended
to the Honorable W. R. Brad- *!

intelligent conduct as chairman
over our deliberations. We are
duly appreciative of the fact
that his ability, impartiality, un- t?
failing courtesy and untiring ct
energy have been of incalculable T
aid to us in the performance of ni
our duties, find it is due to him g
in a great measure that the ap- is
oropriation bill received such an p
dmost unanimous endorsement ...
i)y the House of Representatives C(
ind in an unprecedented time js
was passed without the custo- a]
inary opposition." la
Must Report Venereal Cases.
Among the bills enacted into tj
law at the present general as- j,
embly, to which Governor rc

is one of Statewide interest, al
This is the McAdams measure, s<
which requires physicians to re- r?i
nort cases of venereal disease n
being treated and to isolate per- Y
sons so affected. It is also in- $
cumbent upon hospitals treating C
such patients also to make such pi
reports. The bill was amended tl
by the senate to forbid the tc
divulging of the names of the if

Governor Cooper has signed

The closed season for par- 1
'idges, so far as York countv is .
mcerned, continues to March 1. 3
hat is what the statute as it j
9w stands, says. The attorney 1
eneral has said that the statute
unconstitutional, and very |
robably lit is;* but it, must be I
jmenibered that the supreme '
>urt has not yet said so, and it
the duty of the game wardens

iw until it has been passed upon

The State Automobile associaon
finds that the expense it has

500. Of this the Rock Hill
hamber of Commerce is exec
ted to take care of $350, and
le York association is expected
> take care of $150. The sum,
raised, is to be raised by
leans of assessments on the
