GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS.
Gasoline Tax Measure and Other Pro-
posed Revenue Bills Continued.

Columbia, March 6.-''The Defia-
ton legislature adjourned this
morning at $50 o'clock. AS soon as
the appropriation bill went to free
conference the end of the session
was in sight. 1t took long and weary
hours Of effort for Chairman Christ
tensen and Hughes and their confer
ees to untangle the differences but
they did so and the act was ratified,
carrying appropriations aggregatin9
S6,534,924.S7.
The increase over the act Of 1920
is something less than S500,0O0 and
all of this aggregate is less than the
additional amount added to the sup
port of the common schools of the
state. Some other items show in
creases and others reductions.
The actual levy is twelve mills, the
same as last year, without the two
mills for road tax.
The present twelve mills may be
reduced by the comptroller general
if advisable. No state levy for road
work is included or imposed this
year. The individual counties may
collect this road tax if they SO desire
on petition of the delegations.
When the senate continued until
next session the bill proposing tax
on gasoline and kerosene the fate Of
all the suggested additional revenue
bills was sealed. All four of the bills
intended to raise revenues from new
sources other than the property tax
was continued until next session as
were many other important measures
suggested.
The statewide stock law act is
perhaps the most generally import
ant act passed at this session, un-
less it be the provisions for women
voting in the primaries, the increase
of the age of consent and the Cali
fornia marketing statute giving the
machinery for such cooperative ef-
forts.
The adjournment was in the best
of humor and good feeling. Lieuten-
ant Governor Wilson G. Harvey made
an excellent presiding officer and
showed surprising grasp of the prob
lens of presiding officer.
Hundreds of bills that we're not
acted upon go over until the second
session of the present general as
sembly.

Thursday, March 10, 1921.

The trouble with the railroad men
has broke loose. This was to be eN-
pected. The attitude Of the govern
ment in regard to railroad employees
for the past few months has been
such that nothing else could be look
ed for when a reduction in wages
should be anticipated. The govern
ment has bowed down to the railroad
workmen in abject submission since
the war was declared. Now that con-
ditions demand return to normal
the employees declare that there
shall be no return SO far as their pay
is concerned. A strike has already
been declared on one of the big
southern lines, and more strikes may
be looked for. Inasmuch as posi-
tive treatment will now have to be
taken, the people generally may feel
thankful that the railroads are no
longer under the control of the gov
ernment.

Thought Her Mrs. Ty.

At theatre in Savannah, Georgia
some tickets had been left for Mrs
Irwin S. Cobb, who was visiting rela-
,tives. The young man at the window
was unusually attentive and cordial
when Mrs. Cobb called.
|'If there is anything in the world
we can do for you, Mrs. Cobb, let us
know he said. eve are all great
admirers of your husband.
"That is awful nice of you," she
replied, thanking him.
II see he hit we'll over 800, even if
he didn't cop the big HONOR the
young man remarked. ''Do you know,
Mrs. Cobb, if he gets off we'll in the
spring he'll lead the league again
sure. That boy certainly swings a
mean bait"

While the friends of Mr.. Carter re-
gret exceedingly that the balloting
failed in his election as associate
justice of the supreme court, they
feel especially grateful for the loyal
and unstinted support he received in
the joint assembly. Thirty-nine bal
lots were taken on the election, IN
thirty-eight of which Mr.. Garter
maintained a lead over the other
contestants. On the 3Sth ballot, due
to the absence of some of Mr.. Car
ter's friends, Gen. Bonham secured a
lead of one vote over Mr.. Carter,
only to lose the lead on the next and
last ballot, when the assembly voted
to carry the election over until the
next session. This is a record which
must be pride to everybody in
Bamberg county and the southern
part of the state. That this section
is entitled to representation on the
supreme bench was apparent to many
representatives and senators in other
sections, and the peculiar fitness for
the office of Mr.. Carter was recogniz-
ed in such a general manner that he
was the choice throughout of plu-
rality of the members of the general
assembly.

His knowledge Limited.

Samuel Hopkins Adams tells of a
friend up in his part of the country
who purchased a flivver and without
any knowledge of that kind of car
decided to drive it home.
Two miles out of town the little
flivver gave a spasmodic gasp and
died in the middle of the road. He
tried cranking, throwing sand in the
radiator and finally kicked it in the
stomach. All to no avail. The engine
simply would not start. Finally he
spied a big ten-thousand-dollar car
coming down the road. He held up
his hand for it to stop.
The big machine slowed down and
came to a graceful stop alongside the
stricken fivver.
"Say," called out Mr.. Adams friend
to the chauffeur, do you know any
thing about a flivver?"
"Nothing,' he replied "but couple
of funny stories.''

The appropriation measure, as I'm
ally ratified, carries an appropriation
of approximately a half million dol
lars more than last year. This was
entirely too much money to appro-
pirate this year. We believe that
almost every appropriation of last
year should have been reduced.
Money is worth at least 300 more
this year than last, and every bit OF
constructive work could have been
carried on with less money without
in any way injuring the interests of
the various programmes as previous
ly outlined. However, through the
conservative work Of some of the
members, including the Bamberg
delegation, the appropriations were
reduced several million dollars from
the sums asked by the different de-
partments. A ten million dollar bill,
as planned at the beginning of the
session, was, of course, entirely out
of the question.

IN MEMORI.iM.

BIKLE-In loving memory Of our
dear mother. Mary P. Bikle, who died
one year ago today, March 8, 1920.
Our home is not the same, dear moth
er is not here,
Angels have taken her out Of our care
Gone from us forever above
Where there is peace, JOY and love.
How we miss your sweet voice,
mother,
That kind and loving smile,
No more to hear your dear footsteps,
mother,
To cheer US all the while.
Friends may think we soon forget you
And our wounded hearts are healed
Little do they know the sorrow
deep within our hearts concealed

filed speaking engagement at"
Olar. when he addressed a large au-
dience in the graded school auditori-
nm. On his way back to Washing
ton, Mr.. Clark stopped over in Bam-
berg for a short while, and quite
number of local people had the op-
Dortunity OF shaking hands and con-
yersing with him. Clark was a states
man OF the intellectual type of Ben
Tillman, without, however, the char
acteristic aOruptness of Tillman.
Whether one cared to be classed as
a Clark man or not, he commanded
the deep respect of every southerner.
He was a man of the old school OF
statesmanship-the hOrsesense kind.
During the past few years he had
suffered political reverses which no
doubt contributed largely to his
death. Eight years ago Clark, ac-
cording to the ethics Of politics,
should have been the Democratic
nominee for president, and would
have been but for the political
treachery of ". J. Bryan. Bryan
went to the nominating convention
pledged to Clark, but at the critical
moment viciously attacked Clark
and threw his support 10 Woodrow
Wilson. That treachery is not an
asset in the life of any man, whether
it be in politics or other phases of
life, is shown in this incident. Bryan
soon lost the confidence of the Will
son administration, and he surrend-
cred voluntarily the confidence OF
Clark and his supporters at the con-
vention. Bryan may properly be
classed now as a man without a
party. Although Clark was made
speaker of the house, position he
continued to hold until his party lost
control of congress, he is said to have
never recovered from Bryan's treach-
cry. At the last election, Clark
went down in defeat, and had he
lived three days longer he would
have handed over his seat in the
house to a Republican.
