The matter of overruling the veto jf the governor came up In the sen ate and that body refused to pass the Mil in question over the veto. Tin bill was one of providing Tor the en 'oreement of the dispensary law in Dorchester county and provided for a : 'ocal constabulary for that county, 'aking the. county out o? the general "iiforcemesit of the dispensary law by ippointmeut Iroin the governor.

There was a fight which resulted In killing tha bill by Mr. Paeplea or -Barnwell to permit an election on the question of readmitting the dis pensary.

He referred to the educational legislative commission and said it had cost a lot of money and had brought no information. Mr. Ashley declared that lu his leg islative experience commissions of this kind to pet information had cost millions of dollars. They do no good except to afford a little pleasure to legislators at the expense of the state. He was willing to hire his own law .vers to look his lain! ami doesn't wish to see other people imposed up j on by such a bill. | Mr Beaniguard offered an amend | ment to strike out the section provid : inn for the expense. Mr. Irbv offer ed as a substitute for the whole mat | ter that the judiciary committee of ; the two houses ho requested to get j this information. The substitute was | adopted, although Mr. Ashley quar relled about making up his own mind and information of this kind being "no good," and the house should act as the committee of the whole In get ing information.

Governor Blease has approved a number of important measures which have passed the house and senate. ! He has approved the measure to' Mnend the charter of the Augusta ?nd Columbia railway. This measure was introduced to extend life to the corporation. The question of the i construction of an electric railway from Columbia to Augusta has been I agitated for the past several yearn. James U.

A pleasing feature of the session j was the presentation of a handsomo .silver souvenir to the past grand | commander, Samuel S. Huist, by Past CJrund commander, George Bryan, of ; Greenville. Tillman Not Breaking Law. Washington.? Holding that the 1 meaning of the word "office" where it ( occurs in the constitution of South , Carolina does not embrace that of i trustee of a college, and that thercv fore he is within both the letter and j the spirit of the law in holding the oflico of senator while at the same time trustee of Winthrop and Clem- : son colleges. High Masons in Charleston. i Charleston.?Lending Masons of high ; degree were in Charleston from all j parts of the state attending the grand ( council of Royal" and Select Masters. ; the grand chapter of Royal Arch Ma* ! sons and the conclave of the grand : commandery of the Knights Temp- ; iar. The chief feature was the cele bration of the centennial of the grand ( chapter, organized here one hundred ! years ago; the banquet was attended only by chapter Masons. Senator Tillman says he assisted iu j framing the section of the constitu- ' tion regarding the right to hold two offices at once and that the meaning of the term "office" was discussed at the time with tho result that it : was held to be not iocompatibie to hold office and be a collie trustee at 1 the same time. He insists that >t ; would have been absurd for him to frame any part of the constitution which would legislate him out of tho j trusteeship of a college ho loved so' well and had done so much for.
