College Girls Not Slackers'
 Referendum Vote Proves It|

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 15.-Goucher College seniors have just contravert- ed to their own satisfaction, the charge made by speakers at the re- cent eugenist convention in New York that the American college girl is a slacker-that she is unwilling to marry unless she can have many comforts and luxuries.
 A referendum vote taken among the 103 seniors showed that they were of the opinion that a couple could marry safely and live in a city on an income of $48 weekly
 One girl thought she could live in comfort at about $l55 a week, while another, who evidently had given the subject careful considera- ton by making out budget said

she was willing to take chance at $850 or $1,000 a year, if she had a child
 Only six girls figured they would need $4,O0O year or over. Twenty four made estimates of $2,000. Four thought they might De able to strug gle along on $1,50O
 One senior estimated it would cost $3,000 a year in Washington or New York but only $2,600 in Mid dle Western cities. Another thought $2,500 would be needed if she were the wife of an army or navy officer
 Almost every one emphasized the point that the success of the ven ture would depend largely on econo- mics and good teamwork by hus- band and wife.

During September the number of

less than the number for August,
while in the South the number for

sHoI1Ln BE CAREFuL

Parents should be careful about
naming their children. Sometimes the
given name and the sir name are all
right separately yet sound odd when
used together. For example, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Wadd, of Bogue Chitto,
named their son Titus. Now while
Wadd and Titus are all right, sepa-
rately, Titus Wadd might give the i'm
preston of penuriousness, especially
when the chap grows up and starts
to school and his playmates abbrevi-
ate the Titus to lite.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Kidd, Of Birm-
ingham, named their son Oscar Uu-
derwood Kidd that was o. K. il the
full name is used, but when the Oscar
Underwood is reduced to 0. U. and
prefxed to the Kidd it is likely to
provoke smile.

SUPERVISORS TO FIX ROADS,
SCHOOL AND COUNTY TAXES

To the Tax Payer:
The most important step in fixing
your taxes will be taken at the next
meeting of the Board Of Supervisors,
beginning Monday, November 7th,
1921, Then the board will fix the an
nual tax rates, for the county, for the
school districts, and for the road dis
tricts. In some counties, the taxes
imposed by the Supervisors, last year,
were six times as great as the state
tax, and most of the state tax was
returned TO the counties for the public
schools and Confederate pensions.
Some counties received more from
the state than the total state tax col
leeted from all the taxpayers in the
county.
The development OF our public
school system and the construction of
good roads are desired by all; yet
these are largely responsible for the
increase made in taxes in recent years
You may verify this for yourself by
your tax receipt for last
year with that for ten years ago.
The Supervisors then determine
these expenses will be con-
tinued, increased or curtailed for the
present fiscal year Their decision,
then determines whether your taxes
will be more or less than last year

GIVE I1s a HISToRY

Our neighboring city, Columbus
has Just closed a highly successful
Centennial, celebrating the one-hun-
dredth anniversary of the founding OF
that city. A surprisingly large nun
Der of ante-bellum relics were I'M
earlhed illustrating some phases of
the early history of Columbus. But
the chief reliance in planning the
floats and other features of the cele-
bration was very complete and au-
thentic history Of Columbus, written
by DR.. William Lowndes Lipscomb
whea he WINS nearly 80 years old. At
the time he wrote this history, this
remarkable man was completely blind;
but his mind was as clear and bright
as when he was boy. DR.. Lipscomb
had spent approximately rs years Of
his life in Columbus, was acquainted
with its history past and present
and recorded the events in a clear
and concise manner. The book has
proved Of inestirnable value on more
tnan one occasion.
Why not a similar history Of our
city? Aberdeen is one of the oldest
towns in the state, and it's history
should make a volume of interest and
We know of no book of
this nature. General Reuben Davis
wrote book which contains practi-
rally the only history Of the city in
existence, so far as we know; and
his book, while thrilling and inter
lsting, is largely of biographical
nature, ard treats Of various towns
n this section, and their families, in
'luding territory from Memphis to .
Natchez.
We trust that some of the older
.itizens of the town will write histor-
cal sketches of the early history of
Aberdeen, which we win gladly pub
ish. Mrs. Coburn, ST., Mr. Need
lam Hatch, Mrs. Ellen Gillespie, Hon.
George J. Leftwich and others, have

contribute facts or articles along this
inc. Those furnishing these sketches

"Dardanella" Said To Be
Most Wonderful Show

1t is quite futile to wonder over the
extraordinary evolution Of musical
comedy. Theater goers once had a
habit of completely yielding up in
amazement when a particularly am
bilious production came along and ex
pressed itself as believing that at last
the limit had been reached in magni-
tude, in beautiful scenic inyestiture,
in marvellous chorus ensembles.
But next season along came a pro-
duction surprising all previous eff
forts with new stunts in the way of
staging and new ideas carried out on
a plano of magnitude never before
dreamed of and once more the public
exclaimed, "the limit has been reach
ed"
Such a production is the McGregor
Company's sensational musical come
dy, "Dardanella," which is scheduled
for presentation at the Columbus
Opera House next Saturday night. 1t
is one of the most beautiful and cost
ly musical productions ever sent en-
tour and to the casual observer i'll
looks as if the costumer had been
given carte blanche--the only condi-
tion made being that results mus eX-,
Gel in richness, in beauty, and fantas-
tic design any previous effort in the
line Of stage establishment and pic
ture
Seats are now on sale at Weaver g. i
drug store. To avoid

DEMAND SMALL

There was a time when the print
ing offices of Columbus kept a stock
of "For Rent" and "For Sale" signs
on hand, but Of late there has been
no demand for signs of this charac-
ter. A few days ago a gentleman
called at the Dispatch office for a
"For Rent" sign, the first call we
have had this year For the past few
years the demand for business houses
and dwellings has been so great that
property owners had no difficulty in
keeping their property occupied,
without displaying signs of any char
actor.

MIR. crouch's Home Burned.

About seven o'clock this morning
the residence of Mr.. Guy Crouch in
south Edgefeld was found to be on
fire: Mr.. Abney Parks discovered the
fire and gave the alarm. 1t seems to
have caught in the ceiling of the
kitchen. The alarm was not given in
time fer the fire company to save
the building, as it had been burning
probably half an hour before the fire
engine reached the place. However,
the eight members of the fire COM
pany who were first on the scene
turned two streams on the flame in
few minutes after arriving and ex-
tinguished them before the building
was totally burned. The origin of the
fire is not known. Practically all of
the furniture was removed from the
building but it was considerably
damaged. Mr.. Crouch had insurance
to the amount of $4,000 on the build
ing and $500 on the furniture.
