LEVY OF FIVE MILLS.
The Supply Bill Put in by Ways and
Means Committee.

The ways and means committee Wed,
nesday presented the supply bill
which makes provision for the lc7ylng
of tax for the fiscal year.
The levy for the State purposes IS .
mills, no increase over last year. The
ways and means committee thinks that
the levy will meet all appropriations
and leave balance in the treasury.
The appropriation bill provides for
an expenditure Of 1888, 963 for general
purposes. In addition to this there IS
a provision for $50, 600 to be set aside
for the purpose Of rcdceuiDg bonds
which may come due This appropria-
ton is made annually but is seldom
expended. In addition to the two items
mentioned above the legislative supply
bill will call for about 5000 to meet
the expenses of the legislature. These
three items will amount to 1898, SOB,
the estimate expenses for the year.
The estimated receipts for the 5 mill
levy aggregate $4,000; fees from Il
censes, etc., s54, 4I2; total, 1927. .472.
This will leave balance Of $4,000
in the treasury, in addition to the S20,-
900 for redemption Of bonds. There
are several bills pending which provide
for appropriations, and if enacted they
will take up the balance, ora part of it.
The several county levies are practl-
cally unchanged. A number Of coun.
ties, however, have adopted tse plan OF
establishing sinking fund to pay off
the county Indebtedness.

The States Schools

The report of State Superintendent
of Public schools McMahan has just
been published and is full Of interest
and Of food for thought. It shows
that last year the counties had and
spent for public schools 1927 900. The
total numb Der of pupils vas 269, 900, Of
whom l23, 600 were whites and 146 900
colored. There were 81, 129 white boys
and 81, 260 white girls and 6e,7S6 col
ored boos and 1851 colored girls. The
total number of buildings are :, 2,3l0 for
whites, 1,736 for Negroes. There are
5000 teachers, 5000 white and 1908
colored, who teach an average Of 36
each for whites, 81 for colored. The
average length of the session was Al
for the white schools, 2.63 for the col
ored. The white teachers were paid an
an averagefof sl54 80 each for the year,

wife and mother is within the bordes
Of the old Palmetto State. He was
clad Of the interest the younger mem
hers displayed. It is not an answer to
tbe argument TO say that it would be
discrimination. He hoped the bill
would pass.
Senator Wallace thought the Confed-
crate soldier who opposed the PROPOSE
ton misunderstood the aim Of the bill.
1t was no discrimination. The monu-
ment would tell that on this field
South Carolina led the southern army
and came nearest to reaching the key
to the situation. ,.,,
Senator Hcugh had hoped the Dlls
would pass as silently as the gravity OF
the measure demanded. As son OF
Confederate soldier, he felt 1t ms
duty to endorse the bill. Should ne
ever visit Chickamauga he did not
want it asked is there no spot where
Sontb Carolina soldiers fought and
died lie wished the grandests monu-
n,ent ever seen could be placed there.
Quoting eloeuently from the inscrip-
tion on the monument in front Of the
capitol, he said no other inspiration
should be needed to vote for this bill.
Senator Aldrich explained the pur-
noses Of the erection Of this monument
| in accordance with the plan agreed upon
by the associations Of other States. 1t
is not a question OF the most suitable
place, but this battlefield had been
selected by all the States and South
Carolina must DO so or be out of touch
With her sister States. He then paid
an eloquent and beautiful tribute to
the Confederate soldier. a synopsis
could not reproduce the beautiful die
ton of Senator Aldrich's remarks.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was lost by this vote:

SOUTH CAROLINA PENSIONS.
A New Law Proposed, Which Will
Limit Pensions to the Needy.

The increase in the number of ap-
proved applications for pensions in
South Carolina has so reduced the
amount going to each pensioner that
the Confederate veterans have practl-
cally taken the whole matter of pen
sions into their hands. When, years
ago, it was first decided % give pen
sions, $4,000 was voted for this pur-
pose, and it seemed to be quite adequ-
ate for several years, but so many more
pensioners got on the rolls that the
legislature voted 100000 for the old
soldiers and their widows. This has
now become insufficient, pensioners
only getting from $25 to $50 year.
Last summer at convention of Con-
fe6erate veterans committee of three
was appointed to draw pension bill to
be presented to the general assembly,
making radical changes IL the system,
and taking the matter out Of the hands
of county officers and politicians. This
has been done, the bill favorably re-
ported il both houses and will he passed
without change. Under this law the
pensioner, of man, must have been a
soldier or sailor in the Confederate SER
vice and resident of South Carolina
for two years; must (a) have lost leg
or arm or receiving other disabling
wounds, and neither he nor his wife
have an income of $3.50 per annum, Or
(b) that he has re ched the age Of 80
and neither he nor his wife have an in
come of $lG0.
If woman, she must be the widow,
who has never remarked, Of bonahde
soldier, and who has not an income Of
800. The sum of at least 500, 600
must be annually appropriated for pen
sions. Those who have lost both legs
or both arms shall receive IS per
month; those who have lost one leg or
one arm shall receive $6 per month.
Widows receive S6 per month. All
others entitled to pensions receive 81.
If the amount appropriated is insufh-
cient, those of the ss6rst class shall be
paid in full aud the remainder pro rated
among the other pensioners.
Applications for pensions, with proof
of service, etc., shall be made to cour-
ty boards. These boards shall be COM
pcs"6 of ex-Confederate soldiers, one
beng elected by the Confederate survi-
vors in each township on the first Sat
urday in August of each year. The
state board of pensions shall consist Of
the comptroller general and three ez-
Confederate soldiers TO be selected by
the United Veterans Association at
their annual meetings. The members
of the county and state boards shall
each recei7. s2 per day for the time
actually employed and tie state board
5 cents per mile travelled.
The list of pensions approved and re-
fused shall be kept hy the clerk OF the
court who shall each year certify to
the comptroller those on such lists
who have died since his last report.
On the 6rst Monday in April the con-
troller general shallissue each pensioner
warrant to the amount due him or
her for that year, so there will be but
one payment instead of by the month.
This act is cxpectedto disqualify many
persons now drawing pensions. Ths
veterans have loudly protested against
frauds that they allege were being per-
oatrotaG

A WoMAN's DEED. 7gW
Says She lmpersonated Her Brother
Save Him From the Law.

There is in the county Jail at Kills
boro ILL.,, a convict, until recently con-
fined in the mems penitentiary at
Chester, whom the authorities Siscov-
cred by accident to be woman. The
name she is known by is Ellis Glenn.
but in a statement the other day, she
insisted that this IS really the name
of her brother, whom she impersonated
in order to save him from the clutches
of the law. The warden Of the penlten-
tiary does not believe this part OF her
story, but thinks that she herself, while
nasquerading as a man, committed the
crime of which she was convicted. II
this is true, then in the character or
. hashing young man she wou a Wo-
mans love, only to desert her when &C
cused of forgery and when the discov-
cry Of her sex seemed imminent.
To the warden she said, with great
coolness: IT have fooled the law and
fooled you They were looking for my
brother. who greatly resembles me.
We exchanged clothes and he escaped,
while I was arrested. The fact that
am a woman proves that am not Ell
lis Glynn, and consequently that I did
not commit forgery. You can't find my
brother, and you will have to let me
60"
Three years ago there came to the lit
tie town Of Butler, about forty miles
from Springfield, a young man Of re-
fined manners and charming address.
His name was Ellis Glenn, and he was
always remarkably reticent about his
past. He engaged in business and was
apparently prosperous. Miss Ella Duke
was considered fortunate when her en-
gagement was announced. She IS one
Of the prettiest girls in Southern 1lli-
nois, and her father, John Duke, one Of
the richest men in his county. Glenn
seemed to be most devoted lover. The
day Of the wedding was set as October
IS. Glenn took great interest in the puc-
chase of Miss Dukes wedding trous-
seau. He told Mr.. Duke that out Of
the profits &C mis- business he had ac-
cumulated quite fortune.
AS home for himself and Wife he
purchased house in Litchfleld. The
price was 81 ,000 In exchange for deed
to the property Glenn gave a draft en-
dorsed by two citizens Of Butler. They
pfterward pronounced the endorse
ments to be foreeries and Glenn was
arrested. He was bailed. Two days be-
fore the time fixed for the wedding he
disappeared. A telegram soon after
ward reached Miss Duke from st.
Louis saying that he had been drowned
in the Mississippi River. The Sheriff Of
the county received word a few weeks
ago that Glenn had been arrested in
Paducah, Ky.
He was brought back and lodged IN
Hillsboro Jail.
Miss Duke visited him in his cell. and
told him that she had always loved
him and always would. She wanted
him to marry her then and there be-
fore his departure for States Prison.
He obstinately refused her entreaties.
No one then had the least suspicion OF
the real reason for this

acre Of land and buy ss much fertilizers
as he usually puts over two or three
acres, even though there is small ad-
vance in the price Of fertilizers, caused
by the manufacturers having to pay
high prices for the materials entering
into them.
We propose to be perfectly fair and
candid in our statements and believe
that when an unprejudiced farmer looks
into the situation he will realize that
he is not charged as much for fertilizers
as the cost of materials under preseut
conditions warrant.
