Constitutional objections exclude from consideration the project of a state printing plant, according to the special committee from the house o, representatives, which in co-operation with a similar body from the senate has been investigating the public printing problem during the last year. The house committee is composed of Representatives W. R. Bradford of York, chairman; L. L. Wagnon of Union and W. W. Harris, of Laurens. Article 17, section 5, constitution of 1895. says: "The printing of the laws, journals, bills, legislative doen. mecnts and~ papers for each branch ol the general assembly, with the print ing required for the executive and other departments of the state, shall he let on contract in such manner as shall be proscribed by law."' House and senate h)ills are printed in 12 point (pica), with a pica of white space betwveen the lines. The committee reeomnmendls that they be printed in 10A point (long primer), that the space between the lines he re duced to 6 polnts (nonpareill and that the length of the line be reduc2ed from 36 to 30 ems, so that linotype compo sition may be facilitated; It is also pointed out that the eye more easily takes in the shorter line. "The committee considered at length the printing of stationery (let terheads, envelopes, tally sheets, roll c'alls, etc.) annually (lone for the general assembly," says the report. "The cost of this printing is in the aggregate considerable. Much of it now is inferior in workmanship and dlone on a poor quality of paper, though the charge for all of it has been high enough to warrant the ex pectation that first class printing on first class stock would be secured. "All of this printing should be in c (ludled in one or more contracts, to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, instead of going to perhaps a dozen or more printers, as is now the practice. Uniformity, better prices, bettor material and better workman ship would be secured if this work were let by contract." Mr. Smith's house bill to increase the salaries of state officers was kill 3 ed in the house by the "'-:isive ma 3jority of 65 to 24. The bill1 had re Sceived a majority unfavorable report a from the ways and means committee, i although its provisions werq not to t heome effective until after the expira tion of the terms of the incumbents. 3 A bill to give employes a prior lien -on their employer in certain cases, ~or giving them the same rights as a they have under thle bankruptcy laws of the United States, was passed in trwe house.

The robbery was committed about 2:30 o'clock when C. A. Thomas, cashier, was at work on his books. Looking up, he discovered that two strangers had entered, one covering him with a revolver. One man im mediately leaped over the counter and seized him. The cashier resisted and in the struggle managed to keep his antagonist betwen him and the man with the revolver. This man, however, jumped over the counter after his companion and struck the cashier a sharp blow over the eye, at the same time throwing some liquid in his face. The combination served to render Mr. Thomas uncon scious. The robbers then placed the cashier in the vault and escaped with about $2,500 in currency. They were travel ing in an automobile, and when the robbery was discovered two hours later, they were traced going in the direction of Bamberg. One of them is described as being about six feet in height, slender, of dark complexion and wearing a cap. The other was not as tall, but heavier, dark and also wore a cap. Mr. Thomas recalled that the small er of the men came in the bank ono week ago and asked him to cash a Southern railway check for $400. The cashier informed him that he could not do so without identification. The stranger asked if others worked with him in the bank and departed. The cashier was not discovered, locked in the vault, until about 4:30 o'clock. A reward of $100 has been offered by the Smoak Banking company for the arrest of the robbers.
