OPPOSE ISSUES
 OF BONDS TO
 REDUCE TAXES

WASHINGTON, March 12 (by Asso- ciated Press) Secretary of the Treas ury Houston and Assistant Secretary Leffingwell, have expressed their op- position to the plan of former Secre- tary of the Treasury W. G. McAdoo, for reducing taxation by bond issues.
 Secretary Houston and his assistant, appearing before the committee of the house of representatives which is in- vestigating the subject of relief for former soldiers, said that any increase in the present indebtedness would ere ate a grave situation. They said that the worst thing possible would be to give bonds to the former soldiers, be- cause they would sell them.
 The least harmful way of providing a bonus, said the officials would be by an increase in taxation.
 Politics and the Soldier
 Frank Keech, a New York broker, and a former lieutenant in the army, testified before the house ways and means committee today that he be- lieved the former soldieres did not need or desire a bonus. Congressmen, he said, would support soldier-bonus legislation in order to get votes.
 Chairman Fordney of the commit tee declared it was an insult for any one to say he would spend two billion dollars of public money in order to be elected

general careless scrubbing they get
when yDu take a bath is not really
enough for them. The feet need to

complexion, since they are kept away
from air and sunlight most Of the
day. When YOU take a bath the feet
should be scrubbed with a fairly stiff
flesh brush, and strong soap should
never be used- Soap as fine as that
used on the complexion is the only
proper sort to use The feet should
be rinsed IN clear water and rubbed

The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1920-04-14

The following is the report Of the
sixth inspection of the Laurens County
almshouse, Jail and chain gang, made
March 9th and 10th, 1920, by AsstsSec.
Brear1ey, of the State Board Of Chari
ties and Correction:
AimshOuse.
Conditions have improved at the Lau-
rens County almshouse since the fifth
inspection. The new superintendent,
Mr. j. f. Satterwhite, is being paid a
fixed salary. The recently construct
ed eight-room house for whites Is now
occupied and the old buildings are be-
ing cleared away The county COM
missioners are taking an active inter
est in the institution and are trying
to get things into good shape. Tho
farm Is being run separately from the
almshouse by an experienced farmer
tendent.
The new management has the proper
spirit and although it has boon unable
to make many improvements yet, its
interest argues we'll for the future.
The yard is full Of the debris from the
old buildings recently torn down. The
institution needs COW. Both Of these
needs, however, are expected to be
filled in the near future. The new
building should be screened and the
negro cottages repaired as soon as
possible.
Jail.
The sixth inspection Of the Laurens
County Jail results in lower scoring
522, than any Jail in the state received
last year upon the score sheet used
by the State Board OF Charities and
Corrections. This result is due in
part, it is hoped, to the fact that court
was in session at the time Of the visit
and that the sheriff and his deputy hat
consequently been busy and had no
given the jail the usual amount of at
tention. sH 4

tremely unsatisfactory; the toilets arr

able father?" Ballenger agreed with |
the Judge that there would be no
question which his children would |
choose.
Ballengcr was represented by James
Fl. Price, of Greenville and Sam b. |
Craig, Of Pickens.
Proper respect for the administers
ton of justice henceforth will be
paid in the court room by all pres
vt, else offenders will find thcm-
selves before the bar.
The court announced yesterday af-
ternoon upon the convening of the
first session Of the second week Of the
term that all persons in the room
must be seated when possible and
that 'promiscuous talking and other
noises calculated to disturb the court,
must be stopped. Judge Watkins
was very firm in the matter, as an
Iattorney in attendance upon the court
quickly learned, a mild reprimand
being administered in less than ten
minutes after the court had deliv-
cred the announcement.
Judge Watkins Is not a believer in
eXcusing jurors without valid reasons,
and ordinary business excuses are
not valid, in the courts opinion. He
looks upon a man who shirks jury
duty under ordinary circumstances as
/ hn 1nnkoI 81 ~ nrir y>o
war. A man whose business is big
has no reason to ask to be excused,
said the court On the other hand,
the master Of large affairs Is in a
better position to serve than the poor
man who makes a real sacrifice by
coming into court as juror. and who
can i'll afford to lose the time. An
expected visit OF the stork, the court
told the Jurors, constituted an ex-
cuse. illness of serious nature in
the family OF juror also would be
recognized as an excuse, the court
said. The only business excuse which
would be entertained Judge Watkins
said, was one Of urgent and essen
TALLY timely importance-somet
that might come up out of the ordi-
nary.
A jury has been secured and the
trial of NJ. F.. Huffman. charged with
operating an Illicit distillery, was pro-
ceeding when court adjourned. A

out Of order and fill the building with
bad odors; the heating is so unsatis-
factory that the negro men sleep on
the floor to get as near the stove as
possible; the bath tubs have been al
lowed to become useless from lack\of
repairs. The supply Of blankets is SO
scanty that none can be spared during
the cold months for the laundry; as a
natural result, the mon, both white and
colored, are sleeping under covering
that is SO soiled that it is positively
filthy. The whole building is dark
and dirty.
In 1917 the people Of Laurens
through their legislative delegation ap-
propriatcd $4,000 for new Jail but
the work was not begun Immediately
and the amount is now insufficient. The
county is now paying half mill tax
on this sum that has not even been
used. Economy demands that the
county appropriate enough money to
, finish the task and avoid following the
| example OF the unwise man in the
Bible who began to build a tower and
was unable to complete, wasting the
money already spent.
Chain Gangs.
The Laurens County chain gang No.
3, under Mr.. o. G. Mcdlock, is in a
satisfactory condition. The grading
given it this year, 1877, is about the
average for the gangs of the state last
year. A great Improvement in man
agement is that the men are no longer
worked in shackles. This change is to
be commended from the standpoints of
both efficiency and humanity.
Some Of the needs Of this camp are !:
a better tent for the short time con-
victs, a larger supply of blankets.
abolition of the practice of allowing
the prisoners to initiate newcomers
and more earnest effort to keep
things clean and sanitary.
AT this visit gang No. 1, under Mr.
i NJ. 8. Godfrey, was not visited because
it was located over twenty miles from
Laurens.
