7 MOMENTS
To De VOTEDON
Four Will Come Up at the State
Election and Three More in
November.

There will be no less than seven con-
stitutional amendments submitted to
the people for ratification or rejection
in the fall elections.
Four amendments will come up for
action in the regular state election in
October These are the amendments
providing for the creation of the county
of Bleckley TO increase the borrowing
power Of the governor, to permit the
Ievying of school taxes for purposes
other than a strictly grammar school
education in the various counties. and
to provide for an advance in the date
upon which corporation taxes shall be
paid.
Three amendments will be acted upon
in the presidential and congressional
elections in November. These are the
providing for the creation
of the county of Wheeler, to permit
Judges to issue charters in vacation
and to exempt certain farm products
from taxation in certain circumstances.
The last three amendments were
passed too late to permit their proper
for the regular state cleo
ton in October.
The last Legislature, putting up to
the people seven constitutional amend
ments in one session. broke all previous
records of activity along that line.

francs, or 100000, by an uncle in
France. But Louis Dupin still is wear
ing his white jacket; still is bossing
the cooks and walters in the hot kitchen
of the restaurant He is not satisfied
to take the 100000, believing he right
fully is entitled to ten times that sum.
No matter what he gets he will stick
to his white apron and keep on bossing
restaurant-though the next one
may be his own.
Il shall go to France next May"
Dupin said today. There are some
other heirs in America and we shall go
together. When we have settled all
our claims and got our money we shall

Dupin shrugged his shoulders.
For certain. 1t is my living" he re-
piled.
Yes. l shall return to America. Why

Then he turned to give an order to a

that time that he was but a poor old
man, with no money and no friends.
The blind man, however declined to
accept the hotel mans generosity and
forced him to take pay
To people in the little town the blind
man commented on the kindness of
Nichols and of his own fondness for
the little girl, remarking that Nichols
was one of the finest and best men with
whom he had ever come in contact.
The old man left the little town and
the incident passed. Nichols thought
no more of it and heard no more of his
blind friend until he was Informed in

the search for him by the blind man.
