The last week has been a lively

Three nights have been spent
by the fox hunters and two big
grays were the result. Several
gentlemen from North Carolina,
including Messrs. Josh Davis and
L. r. Garrison, of Pineville, with
about Is fine hounds, have been
the guests of D. O. Potts. Mr..
Davis, while here, had the mis-
fortune to lose one of his best
dogs which tried to tree" six
cylinder machine on the King's
Highway.
The congregation of Pleasant
Hill church were given an eX-
cellent sermon on The Trans
figuration" by the new pastor,

On account of the increased

STATE TAX LEVY May BE
EIGHT MILLS THIS YEAR

THE State revenue for 1913
from taxes, estimated and based
upon the present assessment of
1921, 500, 900 at a rate of 6 1-4th
mills on the dollar, would be
81, S21, S75. To this add the esti-
mated income from other than
taxes of $500, 30S, and we have a
total estimated revenue of 81
122, 1S3." This is the statement
made by A. w. Jones, comp
troller general, on the States fl
raacial condition, in a rel OF
submitted to the General Assem-
bly,.
The Comptroller General saws
that the levy of 61-4th mills
would be 1-2 a mill more than
that of last year, and is rendered
necessary to carry out the plans
for building the new State Hos
pltal for the Insane. He says if
a half mill is levied for this par
tlcular purpose, every year it
will give about $3.50, 900 a year
and that it will take about six
SIX years to pay for the build
lngs, which are estimated to cost
about 81, 900, 600, or the amount
OF the bond issue defeated last
fall.
1t will thus be seen by the
special report, " says the Comp
troller General, heretofore sub
mltted to your honorable body.
that the appropriations asked
for, So, 578, 439, exceed the esti-
mated revenue of the State, un-
der levy of 6 1-4th mills by
S456, $500, and if you make all
the appropriations asked for, it
Will be necessary to make a rate
OF 8 mills on the dollar to raise
the appropriations. For section
2, article 10 of the constitution.
requires a levy sufficient to pay
the ordinary expenses of the
State, together with any exist
ing deficiency in income to meet
the appropriations or the eXpen-
ses brought over from the pre-
ceding year. 1t therefore seems
that appropriations should not
be increased more than is abso-
lutely necessary until the system
for the assessment of property
has been so reformed as to equal
ize the burden"

the State House a pleasant place
to spend their idle hours.
The Legislature has just re-
turned from a pleasant visit to
Winthrop College. The members
were well entertained by the
college authorities and the young
ladies, too.
The local bills that have been
introduced by the York delega-
ton are as follows: A bill to sell
a part of the County Home farm
and erect a modern County home,
as per recommendation of the
grand jury; a bill to relieve the
Clover storm sufferers from last

and is now on it's way through
the House; bill, by Mr.. Hutchi-
son, providing bond issue for
S75, 600 for new graded school
building in the city of Rock Hill
is now on its way through the
Legislature. Mr.. Halle will
introduce two bills Monday as
follows: first, bill to repeal the
Tirzah special school act; second,
a bill to amend the charter of
Fort Mill as to assessing property
for taxation.
Bills of State wide interest
have been introduced as follows:
The railroad fiat-rate bill; a bill
seeking to drive the South
Eastern Tariff out of the State;
bill requiring all insurance
companies to invest their re-
serves in South Carolina securi-

furnished from the water ways
of the State, and to establish e

Governors Charge Against Mitchell.

A concurrent resolution, pro-
vldlng for an investigation of
the charges made in the inaugu-
ration address of Governor
Blease to the effect that Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the State
university, sought to divert from
the Winthrop college a gift of
$50, 600 which the Peabody board
had about decided to give to
Winthrop, passed the House
Thursday and was sent to the
Senate. The president of the
university is charged with hav-
ing attempted to get this APP
preparation for the university by
trying to block the gift to Win
throp and agreeing to use the
balance of the fund in the edu-
cation of negroes. The resolution
was offered by Mr.. Ashley. of
Anderson.
The charges against the presi-
dent of the State university
caused stir. Governor Blease,
in his address, called it dirty
deal, and scored the university
president, saying that if he was
found guilty of the charge, he
ought TO be fired" The in
vestigation committee would con.
sist of five, three from the House
and two from the State. The
Governor said this information
had been given him by President
johnson, of Winthrop College.

Celebrates Tooth Birthday.

Friday at his home in Mallard
Creek township, twelve miles
from Charlotte, says the Char
lotte News, Mr.. Benjamin Har-
vey Garrison, Mecklenburg coun-
tvs Oldest citizen, celebrated his
Tooth birthday. To help him
celebrate the occasion crowd
of approximately 200 people, in
Guiding his neighbors and many
friends from Charlotte and else
where, gathered at his home in
spite of the rain that poured
nearly all day. Among these
were two score or more veterans
of the civil war, who, though
Old men, were still by good
many years the juniors of the
patriarch whose birthday they
were celebrating.
Conspicuous IN the crowd also
were the three living sons of the
centenarian, Messrs. James w.
Garrison, Angelum A. Garrison
and Thomas Neal Garrison, all
three of them veterans of the
civil war, a fourth son having
given his life for his country at
the crest of the ridge on the
third day of the battle of Gettys-
burg. Miss Mary Garrison, the
only daughter, and Mr.. David
b. Garrison, the only living
brother of Uncle Harvey" were
also interesting members of the
family. Mr.. David Garrison is
80 years of age and lost a foot
while serving in the Confederate
army, but is as hale and active
as the average man at 60. Miss
Mary Jane Garrison and Mr..
Thomas Neal Garrison, the lat
ter his youngest son, live at the
old Garrison homestead with
their venerable father and min
lister to his every want.
