LOCAL DELEGATION
PROVIDES FOR ROADS


Bond Issue Is Passed for Completion
Of Main Highways and Other Issues
to be Submitted to ePOp1e.
The local delegation to the General
Assembly returned to their homes the
first part Of the week following the ad-
journment early Sunday morning.
Representative c. M. Babb, who re-
turned ahead Of the others, gave a
brief outline of the accomplishments
Of the session in regard to local mat
tcrs. The road proposition, he said,
was about the hardest thing which the
delegation had to go up against. They
had to weigh considerations OF pro-
gress with those OF finances and found
the solution very difficult one. AL
though the delegation would like to
have made appropriations to secure
good highways all over the county, he
said that this was clearly out Of the
question and that they did the best
they could. After long consideration
the $4,000 bond issue was provided
with which to complete the road from
Kinards as far as Owings to build the
bridge on the Princeton road and 10
retire some indebtedness already in
Cured for these projects. When these
roads are all completed it Is under
stood that they will be taken over for
maintenance by the state highway ue-
partment thus saving the county con-
siderable money which would have
been lost had they remained uncom-
pleted.
Two elections on bond issues Of $780,
600 are ordered placed before the peo-
pie for their decision. One proposed
issue is for the rebuilding and top
soiling OF the Musgrove road from
Clinton out toward Musgrove Mill
Strong pressure was brought to bear
upon the delegation to provide for this
road by special enactment, but the del
egation decided upon the other course
The other proposed issue Is for the
completion of the top-soil road from
Owings to Fountain Inn. These cleo
tions are to be held as. early as can
be conveniently arranged for.
An appropriation Of $500 was made
for the Rest Room In the court house.
In the direction Of economy the ap-
preparations for tho farm demonstra-
tor, truant officer and tomato club Or
ganizcr were discontinued and provi-
sion made for the rural school super
visor only until July 1st
Provision was made for one extra
rural pliceman and tho salaries OF
these policemen were raised to $1,000
each and chief to. $1,000. One extra
policeman, Will Brysoa, was addcG
the Cross Hill territory. All former
officers were reelected. as follows:
Columbus Owens, Chief; A. I. Boyd
Claude Owings, Sam Thompson, T. D.
Abrams.
The levy for the year was fixed at 8
mills and the appropriations around
100000

FIFTY FOUR DAYS

the State as Il Whole Were Passed.
Women Glycin Full and Equal Rights
to Vote IN All Elections.
Columbia, March AFTER being in
session for two weeks over the usual
40 day session and going through the
accustomed jam and rush at the last
moments, at least on the part of the
senate, and being characterized large
ly by fights to stand still and to keep
from retrogressing, the general as
scmbly adjourned sine die yesterday
morning at 1927 o'clock.
The cloing hours were marked by
only the necessary ratification periods
and the usual long wait On the free
conference report. When the adjourn
ment was taken FIVE members OF the
house were present and seven senator's
were In their seats. Sunday morning
after l o'clock the senate by one mo-
ton cleared it's "a pages of statewide
bills from the calendar and began the
waiting period for the free conference
report on the appropriation bill, doing
nothing in the wee small hours but
ratify number Of acts passed during
the closing days. The house, having
largely completed it's work earlier In
the session, had nothing to do but
wait on the senate, and consequently
spent all Saturday and Saturday night
in somewhat light legislation.
AS to the session in It's entirety
very little progressive legislation was
enacted, the assembly spending
considerable portion of its time in de-
Tending existing institutions and fight
Ing back the wave to abolish and Grip
pie. Bills to abolish the tax commits
sion, the board Of public welfare, the
highway commission, the department
OF agriculture, the public service com
mission and other such measures con-
sumed many hours and days of the
legislature, especially Of the senate.
None OF the measures recommended
by the joint legislative committee on
taxes. headed by Senator Marion,
were enacted. Tho proposed consti
tutional convention was killed, the
Dill to, place tax or gasoline and
oils and the measure taxing inheri-
tances and gifts were continued dn-
til the next session. The income tax
law was introduced, but never got as
far as the senate. 1t was held up in
tha IT,
ton recommended by the tax commits
sion was not pushed, except tho In
heritance and gasoline tax bills, b.
these being lost in the general slash
to continue late Saturday night
Not more than dozen real acts af-
fecting the state as a whole were
passed and ratified or course num-
crous ones were enacted amending
certain laws or referring to no i'm
pOrtant matters.
One feature that went through with.
out hitch was the enactment of laws
that will give women full and equal
rights to vote. in all elections. This
measure places the women on a parity
with the mon as far as the vote IS
concerned.
Other measures Of more than usual
Importance are the statewide stock
law, abolishing free range in South
carolina forever after December 81
or this year and the raising OF the
age OF consent to 16 years.
