Had Pleasant Reception.

Editor Keowee Courier:
saw in The Couricr recently a
notice Of the Hudson-Moody we'd
ding, but nothing was said about
the nice reception given by the
groOm's parents just thought
that was too nice to be overlooked.
When the young couple arrived thev
were met at the car by The grooEl's s
father, who welcomed them home,
and were led to the house ny little
Bessie Hudson, sister Of the bride,
who strewed their path with a pro-
fusion Of flowers into the par
lor, which was decorated with yell
low and white chrysanthemums.
Here they received the congratula-
lions and good wishes Of many
friends who had assembled for the
occasion. Soon they were ushered
into the dining room, which was
decorated with ferns and nastur-
tiums. The table almost groaned
under its load Of cakes Of all kinds,
roast beef, fried chicken, nice cat
ables of all kinds to satisfy the ap-
petite.
The groom is one of Cheohee's
most successful farmers and young
man Of true worth. The bride is
one of the community's best Christ
ian girls. The Sunday school and
music are her chief delights.
We bespeak for Mr.. and Mrs.
Moody much success in life, and Join
with other friends in extending all
good wishes. A Friend.

THREE FARM
MEETINGS.
.. SCHEDULED
Series Of Farmer Gatherings
Commences February
Twelfth.

Announcement was made today OF a
series of farmers meetings to be held
throughout the county. during next
week. At the meetings which will
commence Wednesday, February IL
the topic Of farm management, farm
accounts and marketing will be con-
sidered.
Prof. George Wilson of the uni
versity, who has been so well received
during the recent short courses will
be one Of the speakers. Edwin May
land of the Agricultural college will
take up the subject Of Farm Accounts.
Mr.. Maryland will also discuss the In
come tax with a view of assisting any
farmers who desire to make up. in
come tax reports.
The meetings which will be held
under the auspices Of the farm bureau
are scheduled as follows: Orr, Febru-
airy 12; Marvel, February IA; Emera-
do, February is. Farmers and their
wives and business men and their
families are invited to attend these
meetings. -sE4
The roundup which came to a close
last night is generally considered a
success. 1t is estimated that the total
attendance at all sessions was about
eight hundred.
The principal criticism of the whole
series of meetings according to Rex
Willard. county agent, was the fact
that SO few of those who attended
brought their wives. He further stat
ed that it vas remarked by many of
the farmers that there was SO small a
percentage of the business men OF
Grand Forks attending the meetings
and even at the evening sessions
which were intended to be of equal
value to rural and town people.

INNOVATIONS .
SUGGESTED IN
SENATE Bill
Much Local Dissatisfaction
With Proposal For New
Taxation Scheme.

Much dissatisfaction, was voiced
among business men Of the city today
when they discussed the items which
make up what is known az Senate
Bill 202. If the bill isJenacted into
law, it was said, 1t would really indi-
cate the inauguration of a quite revo-
lutionary legislative program] intend
ed to injure city businessmen and
citizens generally
The bill vas characterized here to-
day as a desperate attempt to raise
money to meet the extraordinary ex-
penses imposed upon the people of
the state, and If 1t is carried through.
it will levy taxes according to the fol-
lowing schedule-from and after Me-
l, 1919:
Ten per cent on each game of bill
lizards, pool or other indoor game
(Which would probably include the
Y. M. C. A. clubs, etc.
Ten per cent on the amounts paid
for storage Of automobiles and. other
cars.
Ten per cent on all orders for goods
and merchandise taken by solicitors.
Ten per cent on all soft drinks, in
Guiding soda water. lemonade, pop.
Ten per cent on the amount paid
for admission to n theater or other
place of amusement.
Four per cent on all patent medi-
cines.
Four per cent on all shot loaded
shells, !. e.. ammunition.
-Four per cent on the cost Of base
balls, golf balls and tennis balls.
ball bats, golf sticks and golf bags.
Five per cent on the cost Of phono-
graph records and piano rolls.
Ten per cent IN each package of to-
0a Five per cent on each box OF pack
age Of cigars.
-Four per cent on each novel or 9TH
err piece of fiction.
Two per cent or the cost of type
graphs and Victrolas.' -
Ten per cent on the amount paid
for hunting licenses.
The taxes to be collected by the
proprietor from the patrons and at
the same time the proprietor must
give and deliver an official receipt for
the amount of the tax, which are pre-
pared by the state treasurer in the
form of stamps and, bought by the
proprietor through the county treas
urer.
An informer's reward Of SO is pro-
vided for anyone complaining of, a
violation of the section and the pen
atty for violation is not less than 500
nor more than $500 for each %offense;
an emergency clause is attached and
the bill goes. into effect on its APP
prevail.
The amounts levied are in reality
larger than given in the summary
above as, for instance. in section 10,
the levy is 5 cents on the dollar Of
the cost of photograph records,
which ordinarily cost from 60 to rs
cents, so that the increase is approx
imately 8 per cent .instead of s per
cent and the same rule applies all the
way through the bill.

FIRE CAUSES
$4,000 DAMAGE \
this MORNING

. At sSo'clock this morning the fire
department was called to a fire in the
Robertson Lumber company ohce
building OF DeMers avenue. AL
though the smoke was very intense, It
vas not thought. that the fire had
gained much Roadway at first, but
subsequent investigation showed that
about $4,000 worth Of damage was
caused. ta
quick work on the part of the de-
partment prevented a total loss on
the building as the fire suddenly
broke out in the rear necessitating an
In a short time Chief Fitzgerald
had several streams of water on with
full force and within As minutes the
fire was under complete control.
Amount is Estimated.
The exact loss of the fire has not
been a~scertained, but it was said that
the nearest estimate is about $4,000.
Although not much damage has been
done by fire, the majority of the
millwork stored on the second moor,
including screen and sash doors
moulding and window frames, had
been singed and damaged by. fire and
smoke,
Cause Unknown.
The origin Of the fire seems q
mystery, although Chief Fitzgerald
said that a defective stove pipe was
undoubtedly the cause, as the fire
seemed to. originate in near an open
ing for the pipe between two rooms.
Fixtures were removed from the
Office when the fire broke out at the
front of the building but. this fresh
outbreak of the flames was soon
checked and aside from a shower and
considerable smoke no damage was
done to the office; business vas re-
sumed immediately.
