CONGRESS PASSES BILL
FOR NATIONAL BUDGET

After 40 years of congressional dis
cussion of the advantages of a budget
system. the United States senate has
passed Senator McCormick's budget
bill. The house also has passed q budget
bill and with it the Mccormick bill
will go to conference. There is con-
siderable difference between the two
measures, but it is believed these can
be adjusted without much delay.
The action of the senate marks the
end Of years of agitation, in and out of
Congress, for reform in the method Of
preparing estimates for the federal
governments expenditures. When tile
measure becomes effective it is the
belief of its authors that it will ehmi-
nate much waste and extravaganza in
appropriations and enable Congress to
legislate far more intelligently in pro-
viding revenue and fixing taxation.
The Mccormick bill establishes a
budget bureau in the treasury depart
ment instead of in the presidents 8
office, as provided in the house bill.
1t was considered that this change was
advisable for the reason that the treas
ury department actually would pre-
pare estimates. The Mccormick bill,
however, in no way relieves the presi-
dent from responsibility for the total
amount of the estimates.

INCREARE FOR TEACHERS
NOW BECOMING GENERAL

Columbia, May ll.-That the agita.
tion in recent months for better pay
for teachers is having the desired effect
and IL bringing selief to the teaching
profession, is the opinion expressed by
officials of the state department of edu.
cation, several of whom have been in.
terviewed on the subject. The relief
however is only partial and has come
at least year late.
II is stated that there is still a scar
city of teachers, and male teachers es-
pecially are leaving the profession rapid
ly. Both women and men find better
pay in other lines of work, and this ex-
plains the small supply of teachers, a.
compared with the heavy demand.
The department of education has been
waging campaign for special levies
in the school districts of the state. to
provide more money for teachers salar.
ies and for school equipment, and it is
stated that many of the districts have
reported action looking to special levies
In many cases. however. these levies
increased cost of living.
The education department recently
sent to all the county democratic execu.
tive committees copies of suggested reso
lutions, calling on school districts to
vote special tax levics. In many of the
'ounties these resolutions were intro
duced and adopted unanimously. accord.
ing to reports reaching the department
of education and press reports. 1t is
expected that similar resolutions will
be introduced at the state executive
committee which meets in Columbia on
Wednesday of next week.
The demand for teachers is not ex-
pressing itself at this seaso of the year
rs il will few months later. During
he summer the demand for teachers will
bs felt, when the district boards begin
arranging for their teaching forces for
next fall. 1t is expected that the state
will then faca shortage, IA has been
the ease for several years recently.

THE FORT MILL TIMES
BUYS HOME FOR SELF

Within the next few weeks the Fort
Mill Times will be established in it's
own home Tuesday afternoon the
publishers bought from w. A. Watson
of Charlotte, N. c.. and S. L.. Meach-
am of Fort Mill, for the use of the
paper, the lot and garage on Confeder-
ate street adjoining the telephone ex-
change on the north side and the Pal
metto hotel on the south side. 1t is
thought they paid for the lot the high
est price, per front foot, yet recorded
ina Fort Mill real estate transfer. The
publishers of The Times plan to have
considerable work done on the interior
of the building and the front remod-
eled. 1t is believed that the building
will then be well adapted for the home
of The Times.
Some weeks ago The Times moved
from the building it had occupied on
Clebourne street for the past ten years
to the building recently erected in the
rear of the postoffice on Confederate
street, opposite the telephone exchange.
A misunderstanding with the owner
of the building the paper has occupied
for the past two months, as to the rem
tai, coupled with the fact that the con-
struction of the building rendered il
unsuited to newspaper work, in the
opinion of the publishers, caused The
Times to seek new quarters.
When The Times becomes established
in its own building and begins the use
of the modern typesetting machine il
purchased some weeks ago, it is hoped
to make improvements in the paper
equaling those. many say already have
been made since the first of the year.

POSTMASTER MASSEY
SENDS IN RESIGNATION

After serving the people of Fort Mill
faithfully as postmaster for the last
26 years, B. H, Massey forwarded his
resignation to the department in Wash
ington one day last week, with the re-
quest that it become effective on
July 1. Recently Mr.. Massey's health
has not been good and acting upon the
advice of his physician. he decided to
give up the postmastership.
Mr.. Massey was first appointed post
master Of Fort Mill in November, 1893,
and took charge of the Office on Janu.
ary !, 1894, the appointment being
made by the postmaster general in
President Cleveland's cabinet. The
postoffiee was then in small frame
building occupying part of the site of
The Times Office. 1t was burned within a
short time after Mr.. Massey became
postmaster. Since that time the post
office has been moved number Of
times
During the 26 years he has served as
postmaster of Fort Mill, Mr.. Massey
has lost only 20 days from his duties by
illness and he has seen the Office during
these years grow from the fourth class
to the second class. Once during his
incumbency as postmaster, i'm June,
1902, the postotfice safe was cracked
by yeggmen and $25 in money and $l4
worth OF stamps We're stolen there
from. Mr.. Massey has proved faith
fui, efficient postmaster and many will
regret to learn that he has given up
the Office.
1t is understood that Joseph M. Belk,
World war veteran, will be an ap-
plicant for the postmsstership to sue
ceed Mr.. Massey.
1t is presumed that civil service
examination soon will be ordered to
select successor to Mr.. Massey.

North Carolina Property Assessment.
Winthrop Weekly News.

winthrop weekly News. ..as
Propertyis now returned for taxation
in North Carolina at 100 per cent. valu-
alton. When the revaluation law was
enacted an agreement was made that
there should not be more than 10 per
cent. increase in taxation for all purpo-
ses in any tax units. This 10 per cent.
clause has been source of worry, since
10 per cent. increase would scarcely
provide for normal growth in ordinary
times.
However, member of the finance
committee of the Legislature says that
the law did not contemplate placing linn
itations on what the people could raise
for taxation and that there are ample
provisions whereby more money NAV
be raised for schools and other public
improvements: In this connection, there
is in contemplation law to lift the
burden of securing increased taxation
to maintain schools which the people
have decided to maintain from the
boards Of education and rather make
provisions for voting off taxes. This
matter deserves consideration, since if
the people decide to do certain things
in education it is generally true that
the purpose is to do it right. There
fore boards should not be so handi-
capped by legislation; rather place the
burden upon opponents to the will of
the majority.
