Hotel Man Confesses.

Chicopee, Mass, Dec. 27.-Dis-
trict Attorney Ely, of Westfeld, who
has been investigating the deaths of
more than forty-fve persons in the
Connecticut valley as the result of
drinking wood alcohol contained in
whiskey, announced tonight that
Alex Perry, proprietor of the Ameri-
can House in Chicopee Falls had con-
fessed to buying fifty gallons Of the
concoction in Hartford, all except five
of which were sold. The district at
torney also stated that five other gal
Ions of the liquor had been traced to
the Polski Hotel, in Holyoke.
Charged With Manslaughter.
According to the district attorney,
who had refused to grant bail Of $10,-
600 to Perry earlier in the day on the
charge of manslaughter, Perry stated
that he bought the liquor through
Sam Darling, of Hartford, an express
man, who is under arrest in that city
in connection with the deaths. Perry
told the district attorney he had no
idea the liquor was poisonous. Fol-
lowing the confession the district at
torney allowed Perry to be released
on bail.
Death Toll Reaches Forty-six.
The list of dead was increased to
forty-six in the Connecticut valley
tonight with the death of another
Chicopee man, Maurice Murphy, in
Mercy Hospital, Springfield. The
deaths are now divided as follows:
Chicopee, thirty-three men and two
women; Springfield, three men and
one woman; Holyoke, six men;
Greenfield, one man.

of crop estimates, was the loss of
about 26 pounds per acre in the
southwestern section, meaning the
loss of approximately $4,000 bales.
The next season the boil weev:l ex-
tended his damage across our south
ern border and increased the dam
age in the southwest to about so
pounds per acre. The loss due to re-
duction in acreage and in yield was
about 100000 bales during that sea-
son. In 1917 the weevil extended
his scope with the result in loss of
production of about 10000 to 140,-
000sbales. 1t was not until the sea-
son of 1918, however, that enough
territory was under severe infesta-
ton to very greatly affect the State
average. This year he cut the yield
in the southern section from 20 to rs
per cent. and was becoming active
well up the State. During the season
of 1919 the damage from the weevil
was terrific, running from 100000
to 100000 bales. The State has
most decidedly not recovered from
the weevil, although acreage reac-
tion has set in and the farmers in the
southern section have learned to
make cotton in spite of him and are
gradually increasing their yield.
"'Georgia land values have been
increasing steadily for many years.
The boil weevil was merely able to
stop the increase temporarily in the
worst infested sect:ons The effect on
labor in the southwest, aggravated
by war and other conditions, was
very serious, leading to migration OF
thousands of workers. In the rest
of the State it has not been very bad.
The only thing which has enabled us
to stand up under the onslaughts Of
the weevil was the exceedingly high
price of cotton, coupled with the ex-
ceptional values and other markets
for farm produce

Prisoner Not Expected To Recover
Officer Resting Easy Last
Night.

Marion, Dec. 26.-Sheriff Rowell
of Marion county, is in hospital al
Florence from four pistol wounds
and Mayo Carmichael, negro, is be-
l.eved to be fatally injured, as a re-
suit of trouble which occurred yes
terday at Sellars when the officer
went to arrest the negro.
On the night before Christmas
Chief of Police Bass, of Sellers, went
to a negro entertainment to arrest
some negroes on charges not stated.
The Carmichael negro fired on the
policeman five times but. did not hit
him.
A warrant was taken out for Car
michael and on Christmas day Sheriff
Rowell with several deputies went to
arrest Carmichael. The negro was
found in house and the sheriff went
in and called upon him to surrender.
At the time the sheriff went in the
house the negro had his hands in his
pockets, and upon the sheriff speak
ing to him the negro pulled pistol
out of his pocket and commenced fir
ing on him, four of his shots taking
effect. The sheriff pulled his pistol
and shot the negro once. The negro
ran out of the house into the woods,
but was afterwards captured and TAX
en- to the Jail in Marion, where he is
now in a serious condition. 1t is not
expected that he will recover.
Sherill Rowell was brought to Ma
rion and then taken to the hospital
in Florence. The physic ans there
report that he has an even chance
for recovery. !

Importance of our people beginning
at once to practice the most severe
economy. The question is how best
to prepare to meet this menace. We
can only hope to do those things that
the wise men in those unfortunate
sections have done, and they have
been pointed out time and and again
by a great number Of our citizens
who have visited those sections of
the country and by State and private
agencies, but it is we'll to reiterate
the methods they pursued. The first
thing that I would suggest is that
every man increase his bank account
as rapidly as possible and treat it as
sacred fund, buying only those
things absolutely necessary on the
farm and in the household, for after
all good fat bank account to start
with and freedom from ANY incum-
berance is the best preparation for
the boil weevil. The watchword
should be economy! Economy in this
year of plenty! A man in debt with
the boil weevil to contend with has
very little chance Of holding his own.
Our farm practice must consist OF
diversified agriculture, livestock play
ing a great part. In order to have
livestock we must have pastures; in
order to have pastures we must fence
our farms. Let me emphasize that it
takes years to make good pasture
out of Door land. Therefore, we
must be willing to utilize acres of our
very best land for this purpose. This
is an item of expense that necessar ly
has to be met. The dairy cow and
the hog as a statewide proposition
hold out the greatest hope. Experts
at Clemson are ready and Wiling TO
give detailed information in the
building of pastures, the growth OF
all kinds of forage crops and the
building Of silos. There are certain
coast counties in which the growing
(Continued on page 4, column ~
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1920-01-01

ent a few departments OF the State
government authorized by law to col
lect certain fees, licenses, etc., are
allowed to use such receipts, or a
part thereof, to assist in defraying
the expenses of the department. This
method is very undesirable; all re-
ce;pts should be paid into the State
treasury and disbursed on the Comp
troller Generals warrant, according
to appropriations. In other words, I
do not think any expenditure should
be authorized unless placed in the
appropriation act. By adopting this
method, all revenues and disburse-
ments would be handled regularly
and the departments would necessari-
ly be forced to request from the Gen
eral Assembly each year the entire
appropriations required for their up
keep. AS above stated, our general
system is good, therefore we should
dVOAQ exceptions.
More Centralized.
"The State government should be
more centralized. We have entirely
too many departments, boards, or
comm.ss :ons, in a number Of which
the activities are necessary, but
should be under the control Of one
Office. The present system has a ten
dency to create friction and extrava-
gance.
The appropriation act for 1919
totals approximately four million dol
lars. Of this amount less than four
hundred thousand dollars, or 10 per
cent, was estimated as being the
revenue for the State from sources
other than the general or property
tax. 1t was necessary, therefore, to
to make the State tax levy nine mills.
Even though the taxable property of
the State shows material increase it
did not warrant reduction of the
1913 levy, due to the increased ap-
preparations, but, on the other hand,
an increase of three-fourths of one
mill was necessary. During these days
Of high prices, when the costs of all
commodities have increased about 80
per cent. and the State has failed to
make provisions for new revenues,
increased taxes should be expected.
The State, like any business, must
necessarily spend more money or else
go backward There is but one So
luticn to the high property tax prob
lem, and that is, increase the revenue
from other sources to take care of the
exped:tures which are automatically
increased with progress. While the
State levy for 1919 is nine mills, we
must take into consideration the fact
that the basis of assessment is only
AZ per cent
"The South Carolina statutes con-
tain no income, Inheritance, or fran
chise tax laws. It should not be nee
essary to depend upon the property
tax for 80 per cent. of our total reve-
nue."
