Convent Ion was In every' way the beet that has been held hf the travelling mer. In the State. The no t? who travel are beginning to take a more serious view of public quafttnMt and in the discussion on the Moor showed plalnlv they realise that the Convention has ceased to be a mere pleasant place to spend a vacation. The convention spent a busy day attending to routine business, and the election of officers and delegates n to the Nation \\ Convention, which meets In Peorla. 111., this year. R h ports were received and acted upon from all the committees and the suh Jects covered In these reports kept the delegates busy the better part of the day. I As was to be exp. ? ted. the rep >rt of th i| legislative committee was one the C invention was most In? terested In. This committee gave an outline of the work done before the lust Legislature and made the follow - Ing recommendations, which uviv adapted by the Convention? r^irst, i "An appeal to the National Asaocln tlon In the effort to induce the South? eastern Passenger Association to change the contract of their Inter changeable mileage booki so as to eli? minate the exchange feature of same."

"Upon the failure of either om of these make an effort to secure s Hat rate of two cents per mile foi South Carolina." Next in prominence lo the mileage hook bill was the diSCUSelon of the parcels post, after which the Conven? tion went on record almost unanimous* ly as being against this mcasuri which is before the National Con? gress.

To Teal Rlglii of Governor \V!i >n I'oner to Remove an Official is \oi cilven, Coli ml lu, .\i iy 4,?Several constitu? tional question bearing on the right of the governor of the state to remove an official when the act creating the office does not provide specifically for removal were argued yesterday In I In supreme court when the proceedings brought by Attorney General Lyon to oust B, J. Rhame as State bank ex? aminer were called up for hearing. Mr. Rhame was represented by W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw, and H. W. Fraser of Georgetown, who was appointed by the governor to take the place of State bank examiner, represented by B, L* Abney and Qeo. R. Rembert Of Columbia. Attorneys In the case filed their written argumenta? in the oral argu? ment there were many interesting p<dnts discussed. The argument de? veloped Into a constitutional sparring match between Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Abney, which was brought about by the questions Of Associate Justice Woods. It is expected that a decision in the matter will be given at an early date. Mr. Rhame refused to give up the office Of State bank examiner when a proclamation ordering his dis? missal was issued by the governor. In his argument for Mr. Rhame Mr. Stevenson pointed out that the governor issued a proclamation pur? porting to dismiss Mr. Rhame as bank examiner because he had failed to have the statements required by law to he published according to law hy the Lexington Savings bank. "His return shows that such were publish? ed." said Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson contended that un? der the law the governor had no right to dismiss Mr. Rhame. "The statute" m;\lit Mr. Stevenson. "Axes his term for four years. It gives no power of removal to the governor." It was pointed out that the act repeals all former so ts relating to the examiner's Office, one of which gave the power of removal. Other points made in the argument were, that the act creates an execu? tive oiTlce and that this sweeps away the right of the governor to interfere in this case because the term "execu? tive officer" covers expressly this of? ficer and the mode of trial and re? moval Is prescribed in the constitu? tion, that the governor recognised Mr. Rhame as a Judicial officer when he called upon him for Information, that an executive officer ma) be created either by the constitution or the statute, that where the statute prescribes one mode of removal that atone can be followed, that the only constitutional provision invoked says it may be done ;n BUCh manner "as may be provided by law," that under the ^present Case there can be no re? moval except in pursuance of legis? lative procedure or enactment, The reasons given for denying the power Of the governor to remove the bank examiner were, that he is an execu? tive officer .and his removal is provided for In the constitution, that if that Is not correct and there is any statute providing for his removal In the code and the power is not lodged in the governor but by an action of the at? torney general In the court. Mr. Stevenson stated thai granting the hank examiner may be removed by the governor that he con be removed only after a hearing. B. T.. Abney, appearing for Mr. Praser. contended that the supreme Court Can not go behind the grounds assigned by the governor "because they are reasonable and determine for themeelevs whether they are suf? ficient or not." It was further sub milted" that the statute confining tbe power of appointment upon the gov? error. and not containing any re stfictloni or limitations upon the power of removal, which Is Incident |n the appointment, except the mere limitation ?>f the period of office, thai Ihe right to remove exists in the gov? ernor to remove the State hank ex? aminer whenever In ids Judgment he s< t tit to do so. or if thai be not the proper construction, 'hen, that aj the statute Is silent ns to removal, ,i removal for cause i- necessarily implied.'' Mr Abney said that the hank ex? aminer was in n sense an executive officer, bill that it was clear under the InW lhat no provision is made In the constitution f..r the trial and removal of such officer, He did not think tin batik examiner to he liable to Im? peachment, Mr. Remberi discussed the constitutional rights of the gov? ernor In hlf argument for Mr, i Taser, A soclnte Justice Fraser n*ns dis qualified from sitting iu the ense and Judge Boa so was appointed by the governor to his plnee.

Everyone loks for Mr. Rembert in the county convention and also looks for a big fight between the Rlease a id Ar.tl-Rlease forces.
