WILL NOT EXTEND TIME.
vernon Ansel Thinks the PEOPLE
do not Need Postponement of
=, Time to Pay Taxes. a..

Gov. Ansel will not extend the time
ga the payment of taxes, says
Gs0lumbia dispatch to the Greenville
Pws. Tne governor after consulta-
non today with Comptroller General
a59nes came to the conclusion that
mere is no necessity for the extern
Mpn, since the penalty for the first
sMonth Is very light, only one per
sent, and since also the state needs
money badly at this time to meet it's
s0wn obligations. IF the general as
ssssembly considers that any assistance
Sto stto the Taxpayers is needed, it can be-
lTendered by the remission of the OLE
Sper cent penalty for the month Of
sslanuary, which will amount to the
extension of the time for that period.
SCComptroller General Jones stated on
Monday that he saw no necessity for
@ny extension and that the penalty
saad been made light by the general
assembly in order that there might be
sl1o demand for such action.
n The tax money was coming in
semore freely to the offices of the state
streasurer on Monday. The morning
Smail brought remittances to the
samount of $4,000. Saturday about
$4,000 was sent in, making $4,000
1within the last two business days.
But this is not enough, and the state
is still hard up. The state is obliged
to pay out $240,O00 tomorrow and
next day and it was seen last week
that there would not be funds on
hand to meet these obligations. Ac-
cordiHgly State Treasurer jennings
was called back from his Christmas
trip to his old home in Fairfield and
the governor decided that it would be
we'll to renew a note for $4,000,
which was done. The note was ex-
tended for 20 days, with the pri-
vilege Of further extension if need
ell. The state will within a few
days after the first day Of the year
have sufficient money to meet all it's
obligations, but as the tax remit
tances nave been slow it was impos-
sible to- get the money to Nav York
in time to meet The notes due on the
31st of this month.
On the first Of january there is
about $140,000 interest due and there
were notes for $4,000 due on the
31st Of December, making obligations
to the amount of $240,000 due the
next two days, in addition to cur
rent expenses Of tire government.

Moaern Conversation.

A writer In a popular magazine de-
plores the poverty of the present day
conversation, also its insincerity, par
ticularly on the part OF young men.
whose talk consists mostly OF fiattery
and frivolous love-making. Is not the
young women to blame for this? An
observer of social doings declars that
it is impossible to interest the average
girl In any talk that Is not favored
with compliment and courtship--that
no matter in what direction the barque
of conversation Is steered, she manages
adroitly to tow II into the port of SEN
timent. Perhaps this Is because u is
the only ground on which the average
young man and young women can
meet. They have no other ideas and
sympathes in common. The young
man devotes himself to business, but
he manages to read the newspapers
and keeps up with the intelligence OF
the day; the girl 'eads the society
page, the fashion magazine and the
latest and lightest novel. III he should
bring in his talk any comment on pub
lie movements abroad or at home, or
on the political questions OF the day
or even minor local matters of mo-
ment, she would yawn behind her fan.
or her pretty pout would tell him that
she was mentally voting him a dry
stock. What wonder that he inter-
prets the pout, and proceeds to change
it to a smile by telling her how chic
she looked in her Easter hat. or that
he chose his violet tie because it was
just the shade Of her eyes.
But the good conversatlonaist does
not talk learned or stiltedly. Small
talk may be made entertaining and
even thought-suggesting. Tact enters
more largely into conversation than
into any other form of social life

TRIsurE TO oDA sToTLER.

Memorial to Miss Oda May Stotler,
as adopted at regular meeting OF
the Methodist Episcopal Sunday
school, held May 1t, 1908.
Just as the sun went down on Sun
day, May 8, 1908, the spirit of Oda
May Stotler vacated its earthly taber-
nacle and winged its way back to the
God who gave it to be forever with
her dear Lord for she knew in whom
she trusted, and when her earthly
house dissolved, she had home pre-
pared for her, building not made
with hands, but eternal in her Fathers
house.
Oda May Stotler was converted 20
God and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church. Just at the age
when the world offers to her the
most alluring enticements OF it's pleas
ures and fashions, she turned her back
on them, and gave her heart to her
Heavenly Father, placed her hand in
the. nail-scarred hand of Jesus, trust
ingiy submitting to be lead by the
Holy Spirit, and thus consecrated her
young life to his service, and ungrudg-
ingly gave him the best and truest
love of her being.
This was evidenced in her faithful
ness at the Sabbath school, Epworth
League, prayer meeting and preaching
service. She had talents, she did not
hide them, she used them. In rain, in
sunshine, in summer heat or winters
cold she was always found in her
place. Her musical talents were given
to the Sabbath school and prayer
meetings of the church she loved.
Oh, how we miss her, the earthly
fingers that touched the musical in
struments of earth, are cold and stiff,
but the spiritual fingers will sweep the
instruments of thousand strings In
her Fathers home.
To the father and mother, we, the
officers, teachers and scholars of the
Sabbath school of the First Methodist
Episcopal church offer our sympathies
and our prayers. We share your sor-
row, we mingle our tears with your
tears; with you and your absent one
we are one in Jesus. She was yours
and ours, you loved her and miss her
and so do we; she was your dight, so
she was ours.
Leaves have their time to fail. flow
ers to wither at the north wind blast,
but thou has for thine own, all season
oh, Death.
Truly thy sun has set while it was
yet day. We will say good day to the
little girl but by the grace OF God
we will meet you in the morning.
