THE sOIONs ARE GATHERING,
Indications Point to Economy and
Rigid Law Enforcement.

Columbia, Jan. l0.--Members OF
the South Carolina General Assembly
began arriving In Columbia to-day
for the second annual session, which
begins tomorrow at noon. This will
he tho final session Of the list Gone
raj Assembly unless they should be
called in extra session after the adj
journment by the Governor.
The first business OF Importance to
come before the session tomorrow
a.,'- ~" """', ',!Ninarise are disposed
ot is the first annual message of Gov
ernor r. l. Manning.
Rctrenctnncnt Policy.
The determination to hold down
the appropriation bill and the state
levy, and, If possible, to reduce It
from the figures OF last year ap-
parent in the expressions heard from
the leaders who are gathering here
on the eve OF the session. They
seem to be ready to cooperate with
the expressed wish OF Governor Man
ming not to proceed with any new
undertakings until the assessments
and burdens OF taxation are more
evenly distributed. There Is no sign
of any attempt to cripple any OF the
institutions or undertakings which
are now supported, but to give them
what Is sufficient, and not to launch
out in new fields.
The State Tax Commission Is COM
ing In for good deal OF attention,
and the understanding around the
Capitol to-day was that the Governo.
might deal with this subject through
special message. The members OF
the commission will have to go be-
fore the State Senate for approval or
rejection.
Four Now Faces.
There are four new faces In the
Legislature, one new Senator and
three new members OF the House.
The Clarendon county seat in the
Senate will be filled by Charlton Du-
Rant, it having become vacant by the
death Of Senator Appelt. In the
House the seat Of Geo. w. Dick, who
esigned to become postmaster at
umter, will be filed by r B. Belser,
who served in previous Legislature.
r. Burton Hicks will go in with the
Spartanburg delegation in the place
Of w. II. Query, who rseigned to be-
come n member OF the tax commits,
sion, and j. Terry Wood Is a new
member OF the Greenville delegation,
succeeding A. M. Hawkins, who re-.
signed to teach school.
The necessary legislation for strict
enforcement OF the prohibition laws
will probably be enacted, Judging
from the sentiment OF members al
ready here. The passing Of the dis
pensary will do away with the coun-
ties paying the special constables,
and 1t will be necessary for the Gene
raj Assembly to provide fund for
the payment Of special constables for
the enforcement of the prohibition
laws. 1t has been suggested that ono
way Of doing this would be to put a
tax Of say fifty cents on each gallon
Of liquor ordered in the State. Ano-
ther suggestion has becn made to,
raise the law enforcement fund Of
the Governor to $4,000. n

A penny day from every Amer
lean will clothe the ragged women
and children of Belgium and Northern
France.
Think of it: One cent per head
from the inhabitants of the United
States means million dollars daily---
if all of us did our share.
But that would mean calling upon the
babe in arms and the cripple on crutches---the
slum dweller and the Observation-Disclosures
and villagers and city follk---it would demand
an organization, not only to carry the news of
Belgium's plight, but to collect funds and do
any number of other practically impossible
things.
While all America must, in theory, provide
for Belgium's destitute, few Americans will,
in actuality, have to do the work.
The burden of relief falls upon the big
cities, where concentrated action is possible
and where the daily press can bring the
dition of these innocent sufferers of Worlds
War constantly to the notice of the commu-
nifty, until every one comprehends their dire
straits and the pressing need.
In such instances as these, you, the aver
age man and woman, are all too likely to as

All the inhabitants Of Brightwaters,

harbors the screens daintiest little
star, Anita Stewart.
1.-THE Wood Violet" is the name of
the house which Miss Stewart has
built with her earnings as a star for
the Vitagraph Company She chose
this name because it was the title of
her first success in the pictures-the
film that gave her a start in her climb
to stardom.
This house which is furnished with
exquisite taste. is the realization of
the little stars dream. She has al
ways wanted home where she could
rest with her mother after her day S
work at the studio and where she
might entertain her friends.
During the erection of the house
Miss Stewart visited the grounds
daily, experimenting the workmen.
When the last beam was put in place
and the final daub of paint had been
applied to the shingles, she set about
to purchase the furnishings which
were to make the empty rooms cosy
and homelike.
THE Wood Violet" has a bright
sun parlor which is furnished in
wicker; a large living-room with an
immense fireplace; the dining-room is
done in Deli blue; a white tiled kitch-

phur Compound Through Your
Hair, Taking One Strand al

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, SO
evenly Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For so cents you can buy at any
drug store the ready-to-use prepera-
ton, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Compound" You just damp
eD a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire youthful and attractive appear
ance, get busy at once with Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound and look
years younger. This ready-to-use
preparation is a delightful toilet re-

lieved to be the first exhibits ever
made by Georgia livestock breeders at

hibit heifer of the Hereford breed
which won the honors at the South
eastern fair and c. S. Shingler, of the
Red Pebble farm, Ashburn, Ga, will

More than usual interest is being
manifested in the biggest cattle
show on earth,' this year. and some
of the leading breeders are to attenr
from this state. 1t is being urged
that cotton farmers who are planning
to take up livestock on account of the
boil weevil, attend the show and get
all the information and enthusiasm
possible. Special railroad rates have
been authorized by all railroads, and
an effort is being made by the College
Of Agriculture to get as big a Geor-
gia delegation as possible together for
the trip.
Among those planning to go are
President Soule, of the College of Agri-
culture; Geo. Stallings, the baseball
magnate at Haddock, Ga; C. S. Shin
gler Ashburn, Ga; r. NJ. Mcneil, Ma
rietta; Ed Conwell, Lavonia; T. C.
Chastain, Atlanta; E. E. Mack, Thorn
asville; G. E. Martin, Hilton, five stu
dents of the College of Agriculture.
The show will be on December 20.

ances. Each rooms decorations and
furnishings are the result of much
study and thought on the part of the
dainty star who spent days and
hours touring the shops with her
mother.
When questioned about her home.
Miss Stewart said: Now, don't start
me talking about that dear house or
you'll have to stay here in the studio
ali night. The Wood Violet is my one
ard only hobby, and love every beam
and lath. 1t is worth waiting for all
these years, and both mother and my
self are happy to say goodbye to
hotels and take up our quiet life in
that delightful cottage. Never before
did realize the true depth of the
words BE it ever so humble, there's
no place like home But the most
wanderful part of it all is that have
earned it myself-But I'll have to stop
or else my enthusiasm will carry me
away"
And despite all pleading she refus-
ed to be questioned further.
