We are pleased to not" thut Representative
I string Davia rant hin vote
mi favor of a modification of the Sunday
blue laws and aluo that lie voted
to override the governor's veto in the
house. Many of the newspapers sue
in the governor's veto a glowing contempt
for laws of this kind, especially
when he singles out certain parts of
the law to be enforced to the exclusion
of others.
"The disastrous feature of this veto
is that law will fx- brought into contempt.
(governor Itichards cannot put
the offenders against his whimsical
interpretation into jail by his simple i
fiat. It has been demonstrated that
juries are not going to convict even!
though Governor Richards utters the
slogan "Get the Golfers." The sentiment
for the respect of law is badly
in need of being built up. What a
pity that the chief executive by his
veto promotes the contempt and disrespect
for law that must inevitably
follow if the old law is not amended,"
pays the Sumter Rem.
The Florence Morning News-Review
thinks "the governor has missed
his big chance to step out gracefully
from the bog of arrogance he has
gotten himself into. There is absolutely
no hope for any man who reusons
that one rcuson why he could
not sign the new Sunday law hill was1
for fear that somebody might put a
Maxim silencer 011 their bird gun and
go hunting out of season. To start
with, we doubt if there is a silencer
in the state of South Carolina, and
we know one has never been made
for a shotgun. The governor is the
fhampion little game hunter of the
world, for excuses.

pillows upon which our civilization
rests, and no matter what the purpose
may be, modifies or amends the
Ten Commandments of God." We i
would not have imagined that n i
South Carolina legislature had so
much power; but the governor evidently
feels that their act, if upproved,
would have the repealing effect
which he attributes to it, and
feeling thus he lets it be known that
his mind is closed to argument; ro
far as the governor Is concerned We
are back to the days of Moses and a
theocracy.
Well, at uny rate, the people of
South Carolina have not had to wait <
long to learn pretty thoroughly the i
type of njind of their chief executive.
All who believe that the most important
thing which the state needs is <
the suppression of golf-playing on j
Sunday will be very happy over the
situation.'-i-News and Courier. <
May Kill, Hut Can't Enforce
J. K. Brunsou, staff correspondent <
of The Greenville News, writing to i
that paper from Columbia under date
of March 21, says: "Governor Rich- 1
ards' veto of the Sunday law means
th<^ death of the act passed by the
legislature last week, which is a slight <
liberalization of the Sunday laws, in
the opinion of legislators, for it is <
believed that it will be impossible to
secure a two-thirds majority of the i
house to pass the act over the veto, i
This will mean that the old laws, i
passed several centuries ago, will re- J
main in force. It has been freely i
commented that the governor cannot i
for long strictly enforce the Sunday t
blue laws in the face of an adverse a
public sentiment in many communties
of the state, and the comment t
was generally made tonight that the c
result would Ik* a gradual breaking r
down of the effort to enforce the an- J
cient Sunday laws and an eventful I
restoration to the normal or "preRirhards"
status."

Died Suddenly <
Mr. Michael Hanley, who for a S
number of years has been superin- 1
tendent of the grounds at the Kirk- 1
wood Hotel, died on Sunday night. 1
Mr. Hanley was a native of Hack <
Bay, Boston, Muss., and his remains
were sent to that place over the Seahoard
Monday afternoon for burial.
; His death was quite sudden. He had
j attended church services earlier in the
I evening and had retired to his room
i when, in the presence of his wife, he
, foil over dead. He was about sixty
i years of age. Mrs. Hanley accom;
panied the remains to their Massachusetts
home.

S*cr?d mi it at
When Governor Richards vetoed the
Sunday measure he stated in his message
to the legislature that he did
ho because there was no doubt in his
mind that the act before him modified
or amended the Ten Gorn'mmdmente,
Being fair, square and cemacieiitioua,
the governor will no doubt admit
the following proposition*;
That only one of the Ten Commandments,
the Fourth, is involved in
Sabbath observance, and no modification
or amendment of the other nine
was touched upon in said measure.
That God by his Commandment
originally appointed the seventh day
of the week as a day of rest.
That the Christian church did more
than modify or amend the Fourth
Commandment by changing the observance
of the seventh day of the
week, the Jewish Sabbath, into the
observance of the first day of the
week, the Christian Sunday.
That said commandment was
.hanged in this respect in commemoration
of the resurrection and, therefore,
the day was called in olden
times "the lord's day."
That the heathen nations in the
north of Kuropc dedicated the first
ilay of the week to the Sun, and this
is why the first day of the week is
ulled Surtday.
That Christ showed how a lion-,
rigid observance of the Fourth Comnandment
was justified by the
oatriarchs of old, and taught that the
Sabbath was made for man and not
nan for the Sabbath, thereby modifyng
the strict construction put upon
he observance of the Sabbath by the
icribes and pharisees of old.
If all this be true, then the legislaure
certainly followed sacred preedent
if their "Sunday Measure" did
10 more than to modify or amend the
fourth Commandment as construed
>y His Excellency.

fork lawyer, who died a few weeks
igo, left his entire estate of about
?8,000,000, to his four children. He
eft nothing to charity by his will,
although during his life he is said to
have donated more than a million to
-haritable causes.
