HflHtdding for the payment of a claim
BPF something over $1,000, which
^seemed to have gotten into the bill
without having taken the usual
coiyrse through the Claims committee.
The largest and most important
item vetoed was that of $15,000
allowed for repairs to the present
Insane asylum. The Governor's
reason for this veto seemed on its
face very plausible and a correct
j view; but the actual existing condiI

'appropriation, so completely overI
balanced that of the Governor, that
!
this vetoed bill,like the rest, became
. law, His Excellency's opinion to the
. contrary notwithstanding. It was
, explained that the items aggregating
$7,000 for the heating plant at
( the negro college was absolutely
an economic measure, this being a
. less expensive method than furnishing
fuel and sto\es for heating the
, buildings in the old style, and, besides,
the Governor was one of the;
trustees of the college who authorized
the putting in of the original
heating plant, but he now vetoes a
provision for its maintenance. A
care'ul study of the vetoes and the
reasons therefor wil! reflect the
opinion that the General Assembly
in the three items sustaining the
three vetoes acted on practical
grounds and plausible argument.
The Citizenship bill, providing
that only citizens shall vote in the
. primary elections, was also passed
over the Governor's veto. This,perhaps,
is one of the most important
act passed at this session. Its sole
purpose is to keep foreigners and
aliens from participating in our Primary
elections and can only affect
cities and sections where foreigners!
congregate. So far as our small
towns and rural sections are concerned
the elections will continue as
is their usual custom and not a single
white voter will be deprived of,
his accustomed privilege at the

There is no work of any kind on
the calendar and unless something
is sent in from the Governor's office
a decision as to adjournment should
be reached within a short time after
the Assembly reconvenes.

Matters at Morrlsvllle.
Morrisville, February 18: ?There
fell in this section Saturday night,
February 10, one of the biggest
snows known in this community in
several years. It measured about
twelve inches. On the day following
1 the scene was most beautiful. The
snow remained on the ground until
Thursday; then the rain came, leaving
the roads in a dreadful plight.
I Miss Evelyn Graham, who is at'
tending Union High school, was de-1
tained from her duties a week on
account of the inclement weather.
Miss Dessie Brockinton, formerly
of this place,and Mr Charlie Jenkins
1 i of Sumter were married on the
; evening of February 8 at the home :
! af her uncle, Mr B F Brockinton, j
1 i near Lake City. After receiving the ]
hearty congratulations of those i
present, the happy couple left for!
the home of the groom.
Gowity Supply bill, which is equally
as important as the Appropriation
* bill, is still without his approval.
Of course, it would be most unreasonable
and altogether unexpected
should the Governor refuse to give
. this bill his approval, yet there are
sections of the bill which, if closely
studied by him, will certainly receive
either a veto or some severe
criticism, inasmuch as several of the
counties have attempted to regulate
| some local matters in the Supply
bill which they have so far failed to
adjust directly with the Chief ExShnnlH
nnv. spotion of this
bill fail to become law it would
cause considerable confusion in that
county whose section might fail to
become a part of the law.
Thirty-one items were vetoed in
the Appropriation bill. The majority
of these items relate to clerical
assistance in the various State departments
of government, some of
which were identically the same as
provided for last vear and to which
the Governor raised no objection.
Only three of the thirty-one vetoes
were sustained: the item providing
i for a Railroad Inspector,to be under
HHIsion would necessarily have to be
continued into tlie coming week.
Though tired and worn out.it is the
almost unanimous opinion of the Assembly
that it is the part of wisdom
to continue the session for at least
a few days longer. The recess idea
has not yet been disposed of and is
alm&t certain to bob up again before
action on adjournment is deh,
nitely concluded. The determina
tioh on the part of the General As hunbly
to make a clean sweep of
HBentire work, leaving nothing unH^Bshed
for the next session to cornH^Vte,
makes it absolutely necessary
^HTr a few days more of work.
While His Excellency, the GovernW
or, seems disposed to allow the
" 4 A. 1
greater number 01 acts to Decome
laws without his signature,there are
' still a few measures considered unimportant,
which have not yet left
the Executive office and at least
one.or two of these seem destined

Gets Liberal Appropriation for *
Rivers and Harbors. -j
Washington, February 24:?Rep- hel
resentative Ellerbe, South Carolina's Fel
member of the River and Harbor car
committee, is in a happy frame of;bei
mind over the fact that the com- Car
pleted list of South Carolina pro- j Sta
jects that have been put into the j in 1
river and harbor bill about to be re- j ;
ported, totals a pood deal more than ! ant
the delegation thought it possible rui
to obtain, and much more than the str
aggregate of the recommendation \y0
of the army engineers. ^
Mr Ellerbe says that the following
projects will be in the bill, carrying j
the amounts named: Winy ah bay, i.
IW il i
tern
in the Sundry civil bill for the same; ^
project. (Mr Ellerbe says that the,
engineers recommended only $12,000 | ^ ?
for Winyah bay, and that he sueceeded
in getting $40,000 more).
Waccamaw river, $25,000; inland Pre
waterway between Charleston and j
McClellanville, $15,000; Great Pee
Dee river, $10,000; Ashley river, 1
$51,150; Santee, Wateree and Con- ers'
garee svstem. $04,000: Mingo creek, i Sati
$22,000; Archer's creek, $25,000;
Shipyard creek, $5,000. del?
In addition to the appropriation
mentioned the bill will provide fur l?c?
surveys of the Congaree river, the ent
Black river as far as Kingstree and P0Si
