WOULD VETO BRIDGE ACT
Question Constitutionality of the
Measure.
Columbia, March 23.?Calling into
question the constitutionally of the
act providing for the construction of
a bridge across the Santee river, connecting
Williamsburg and Berkeley
counties, Lee Royal, Esq., an attorney
of Charleston, representing himself
and client taxpayers, in a ietter
to Governor Cooper requests the executive
to veto the measure.
Gove^rnor Cooper, in his answer,
states that although there might be
some question as to the constitutionality
of the act, he cannot veto it.
Mr. Royall calls attention to the fact,
however beneficial the bridge might
n/l/liflAnol Kmvlfirt cVinnl/J Tint
UCj All UUUl UUIIUi UU1MV11 ??v be
place<l on the taxpayers of
Charleston county. The governor
took the position that the deciding
of the constituionality of a legislative
act was with the judicial and
not the executive bj-anch of the State
government, and that whether the
bridge should be built, he would leave
with the Charleston, Berkeley and
Williamsburg delegations, which introduced
the measure in the house.

The Flower Shop
The little two-act play was presented
to a large audience at the
school 1 auditorium here last Thursday
night and won the enthusiastic {
applause of every one who saw it. I
The "Flower Shop" was just what j
its name implies, though with a lit
tie more animation and jingle than
most flower shops. There were flowers
galore, and all kinds of flowers,
a real live American beauty rose?
this in the person of Miss Tyson McFadden,
who played the part, and
like each of the other leading char- I
acters, did her part most admirably.
Every feature of the play was "
well rendered and enjoyed to such an ?
extent that it is to be repeated here
at urgent request.
The cast went to Andrews yesterday
where the play was given under
the direction of Mr. Hilliard, who i3

New Auto Agency Established Here
I '
Mr. J. W. Lewis, the well-known

advertisement in The County Record
today announcing the opening of a
Studebaker agency in Kingsree. Mr.
J. V. Jeffords is in charge here and |
has an attractive show room in the I
Kellahan hotel. The 1920 Studebaker
is a beautiful car and there is no
doubt but that the manufacturers
would put into its construction only
such material as would maintain the
high reputation they long ago- established.
