BLEASE VETOES FIRST BILL -MAY CHANGE NAME OF CLEMSON.* DiSPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings Thit Mark the Progress of South Caroalna Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. Governor Blease sent his first veto to the State Senate. No action was taken on the matter, the message be ing printed 'n the journal and lying over for consideration. The act veto ed, while a local measure, is oftgeneral interest because of the reasons given by Governor Blease for his disappro val of the act and by reason of the einterests affected by the whole matter. The act was entitled, "An Act to Per mit the City of Columbia to Buy a Tract or Tracts of Land Situate near the City for the Purpose of Establish ing a Public Park." "I think it should be more properly speaking," said Governor Blease, "en titled, 'An Act to Enrich the Colum bia Electric Railway Company's Own ers and to Increase the Value of Cer tain Property Through Which This Railway Will Extend Its Lines in Go ing to This Proposed Park and Pass ing Around Through and Going Back Over Other Lands' Owned by Certain Parties." Governor. Blease states that the tract of land which it is proposed to purchase for the park under the act is not worth anything like the money that they are speaking of paying for it, and furthermore, "if the park is established there, Is will be so far out of the city that the poor people of the city will never be able to en joy it." "For instance, a man who has a wife and four or finv children, it will cost him 50 or 75 cents to get out there and b.ack in order to spend an hour or so of pleasure. A poor man cannot afford this." "One third more timber is being taken from the forests of South Caro lina than is being produced. And this does not take into consideration the large amount of materials used for domestic purposes, such as firewood and fence rails. With this drain con tinued, it is of course inevitable that the forest wealth of the state will eventually become exhausted." This statement was made before members of the forestry committees of the legislature by J. G. Peters, chief of State co-operation, United States bureau of forestry. After reviewing the work at State Park, the state hospital commission, In Its annual report prepared for the general assembly, concludes with the statement that "$125,000 could be economically expended during the year." The comn ission last year expended $69,212.80 for work at State Park, according to the report. House. By a vote of 52 to 52, the house re fused to pass the bll providing for the sale of the State Hospital for the Insane and the transfer of the insti tution to State Park with the pro ceeds of the sale. The bill was intro duced last session and continued un til this session- It was opposed on several grounds, one of which was that the measure gave the commis sion appointed to sell the property too much power. Except for the fact that on the question of passing the bill to third reading two members of the house in advertently voted not to do so and under the rules were not allowed to change their ,votes, the measure might have gone through. However, the house refused by a vote of 54 to 44 to reconsider the vote on which, the bill was killed. The committee on ways and means of the house and the finance commit tee of the senate were instructed, un der a concurrent -resolution passed by the house, to inquire into the advis ability of changing the name of Clem Members Visit State Park. About 75 of, the members of the general assembly went on the inspec tion trip to State Park recently, l'eav ing Columbia at 3:30 on a special train and returning at 6 o'clock. The first stop of the special train was made about three miles abovb State Park station,-where the legisla tors were shown the source of the water supply for the property. Then the train ran back down to State Park station, where the legislators were met by a half dozen wagons, In which they rode over the State Park. Create Offioe Building Board. The governor, the chief justice of the supreme court and the board of law examiners were constituted a commission under a resolution, passed by the house to consider a suitable location for a supreme court build ing or an office building for state offi cials. Under the- resolution the commis sion is empowered to employ an archi tet and have plans drawn at a cost of not more than $300.

Calhoun of New York, a grandson of the Great Nulli fier, to appear before them. Mr. Cal houn is now in Columbia. The house extended to him the privilege of its floor. When the 2-cent passenger rate bill came up for third reading in the house, Mr. Sanders of York moved t< recommit it when objection was rais ed to his amendment exempting rail roads less than 40 miles in length fron its provisions. The house, however killed the motion to recommit and sent the bill to the senate by a vote of 80 to 16. Mr. Lumpkin and Mr. Youmans of Richland urged the house to pass the senate concurrent resolution asking .the president of the United States tc :reappoint Gibbes Lykes of Richland county a second lieutenant of cavalry in the United States army. Mr. Epps and Mr. Belser of Sumter opposed the passage of the resolution. The reso lution was passed after Mr. Epps' mo tion to table it had been killed. The house agreed that no new bills would be introduced except by stand ing committees. This is always re garded as being the first step toward adjournment. Senate. Senator Carlisle's bill providing that newspapers shall not charge more for legal advertisements than for ordi nary commercial advertisements pass ed a second reading in the senate with notice of general amendments. Sen ator Carlisle said that he would be glad to amend the bill to make it equitable. Senator Appelt, publisher of a weekly newspaper, said that he thought the rate for legal advertise ments should be 25 cents an inch. Senator Crouch pointed out that the rates for commercial advertisements would vary according to the paper and he thought that the measure should be amended to make it equi table. The bill, he sa+1, was a good one. Probably the best speech made on the floor of the senate this session was made by Senator Weston of Richland, speaking in favor of the -McLaurin warehouse bill that passed the legislature two years ago and was declared unconstitutional on technical points which have, it is said, been eliminated from the present measure. Senator Strait of Lancaster made what is perhaps the second best speech of the session, also .in favor of the bill. Both speeches were nota ble for their viewpoint rather than for anything else. Senator Earle's bill to divide the 10th judicial circuit into two circuits, to be known as the 10th and 13th, passed second reading in the senate, after a long debate, mostly in its fa vor. -Under the bill the 10th circuit will comprise the counties of Ander son and Ocoree and the 13th the counties of Greenville and Pickens. The senate pased and ordered sent back to the house amended the Boyd bill relating to coroner's jurors. An amendment proposed by Senator Crouch was adopted that provides for a jury of six men, instead of 12 to 14. It provides also that the jurors shall receive a per diem recompense of 50 cents, as allowed jurors in circuit courts, to be paid upon the approval of the coroner or magistrate holding the inquest. Counties exempted from the bill as amended ate Berkeley, Fair field, Dorchester, Saluda, Clarendon, Darlington, Horry, Abbeville, Green wood, Jasper, Anderson, Hampton, Oconee and Kershaw. The senate adopted the Appelt reso lution to request the ways and means committee to itemize the general ap priation bill. The Welch bill-'providing for the di vision of the city of Columbia into eight wards and 13 voting precincts passed the senate and was ordered en rolled for ratification. The bill was introduced at the request of city coun The railroad committee of the sen ate reported. without recommendation the bill to require the erection of union stations at Spartanburg and Sumter. Senator Appelt said that the committee had not been able to make bead or tail of the measure. The Youmans bill to regulate the introduction of dying declaration in evidence was killed in the senate by a vote of 30 to 5. The Sinkler bill amending the char ter of the North and South Carolina Railway Company authorizing it to merge with the Charleston Northern railway pased the senate and was or dered sent to the house.
