]. ID. Mckee Dead.

Mr.. j. d. Mckee. familiarly called
"Dunlc" by his many friends here. died
OF pneumonia at Rock Hill Sunday
night. Mr.. Mckee formerly made his
home here as secretary and treasurer
OF the Laurcns Motor Car Company.
but moved with his family to Green
Vile last year when the company
moved it's main Office to Columbia. Mr..
Mckee was travelling in the interest Of
this company when he was attacked by
influenza and subsequently by pneu-
monia. He was in his early thirties
and left wife and several children
besides several brothers. Mr.. Mckee
was very popular in Laurcns and his
death was a great shock to his friends
here. Definite information as to the
! funeral was not available yesterday
| but it Is understood that his body was
removed to his old home In Abbevillt
county for burial.

apparently neither Colonel Roose
vclt nor his wife had any foreboding
that death would SO soon still his ac
tive mind and body. 1t was only yes
terday that Mrs. Roosevelt sent a let
man Of the general citizens commit
tee appointed to welcome returning
soldiers in New York, announcing that
the colonel would accept the honorary
craftsmanship Of the committee.
"Thc rheumatism has invaded Col
onel Rooscvelt's right hand" wrote
Mrs. Roosevelt, $50 he wants me to
write that he has telegraphed his ac-
ccptance. This note Is to assure you
that he will be at your service by
springtime."
1t was 4 Is o'clock this morning that
the former president died in his sleep,
painlcssly. His death was due direct
| ly to blood clot lodged in one lung,
the result OF infammntory rheuma-
tism.
I'ut out the light, please" were the
former residents last words. They
were addressed to his personal atten-
dant, James Amos, n young negro, who
had been in his service since he left
the White House and who was sitting
at the foot of his bed.
Some time later Amos noticed that
the patient was breathing heavily and
became alarmed. He left the room tC

COOPER TO PRESS
TAX REFORMS
Plans to Recommend

Plans to Recommend
to Legislature Law Similar to Vir-
ginia's. List Property Mt Value.
Columbia, Jan. 5.-Reform Of the
State taxing system will be one Of the
chief propositions advanced by Robert
a. Cooper, When he assumes the duties
OF governor January 21.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cooper
will recommend to the legislature the
passage Of law providing an exc
cutive budget, somewhat similar to
the law now in force in the State OF
Virginia.
Frequently during his campaign
last summer Mr.. Cooper advocated
making the county the unit or tax
district. Under this plan which pre-
sumcs the adoption Of the budget
idea, the total amount Of the State
budget would be apportioned among
the counties according to taxable
wealth. The taxable wealth Of the
various counties to be ascertaincd by
tax survey Of each county.
1t is understood to be Mr.. Coop
er's idea in making tax survey that
| the counties should be subdividcd in
| to school districts. In this way it is
thought that all property subject to
taxation can be listed at its actual
value, as provided by the constitution.
This will also do away with the state
mill levy. In lieu Of the mill levy,
each county would be required to con
tribute fixed sum as its part Of the
State budget. 1t is Mr. Cooper's pur-
pose to make education the great aim
lof the administration. but he realizes
that the tax question must definitely
be settled before any real constructive
work can be accomplished along other
lines
Mr.. Cooper was in Columbia re
Gently When asked for statement
!Hr. Cooper emphasized that he haf
no definite statement to give out, bu
that he would stand firmly by h'
campaign pledges as to tax reform
and Improvement and development o
tho educational system.
Mr. Cooper is ardcntly in favor O
