sweet potatoes and other subjects
of Importance to the farmer and the
county as whole will be dealt with.
The meeting is being worked up
by the chamber of commerce assist

county branch of the American Cot

Iwarmest yet heard this session in the
upper chamber, number of senators
defending both sides. Senator Chris
tensen on behalf of the finance COM
mittee attempted to get an amend
ment through allowing for the ex-
tension, but providing for adequate
penalties or interest. He favored l
per cent for January, 2 per cent for
February and 3 per cent for March.
The amendment was lost by vote
of IT to ii.
Senator Young of Charleston sue
ceeded in getting an amendment
through exempting cities and towns
from the resolution by providing that
the city authorities ''n1ay'' extend the
time if they so desire. With the
amendments of Senator Young and
Senator Johnson, the latter for l per
cent in January, the resolution was
passed to third reading after long
debate.
Senator Christensen pointed out
that the extension with practically
no penalties would, hurt the state IN
many ways, especially the good credit
now enjoyed by South Carolina. He
showed that the state would be fore
ed to go into the market and borrow
money to take up the notes now due,
and he said it was not known wheii1-
er or not this money could be had at
any rate of interest. The state now
owes more than s2,0o0,o00 in notes
due between now and March 10.
In defending his resolution Senator
Wells called attention to the plight
of the farmers and said he himself
had "sit steady in the boat" and now
the boat had busted" Senator Dun
can said he did not think the credit
of the state would be hurt by the res
olution.
Senator Alexander added a touch
of .humor by saying that the poor
people and the corporations had paid
taxes while the members of the gen.
eral assembly and the rich people
! had not paid their taxes.
While the resolution was passed to
third reading it is expected to bring
big fight before final action when it
comes up again.

Sacred Mohammedan Rock.

A report on the Dome of the Rock
Of Jerusalem is shortly to be pub
lished and will be of great interest to
the Mohammedan world. Ittmay not
be generally known that this place Is
the third In sanctity of all the sanctu-
aries Of Islam, and indeed for a short
period it actually formed the Kibla
toward which all Moslems Frustrated
themselves In prayer.
Among the more important religious
associations of this rock we may men-
ton it was here that David and Solo,
mon were called to repentance, and
on account of a vision David chose
this site far his temple. From this
same spot Mohammed ascended to the
seventh heaven after his night journey
from Mecca, and lastly it is to be the
scene of the Great Judgment. The
historical associations are not less
striking and such famous names as
Omar Abdei-Malek, Saladin and Sulei-

and is still in love with his native
state. He boasts of it's wonders, and
the last time he discoursed on it, was
telling Of the wonderful bargains he
got in watermelons. "Why, we got
the very biggest ones for only five
cents" he said.
"But they aren't so, big as the ones
we have up here" persisted one of his
listeners. SWhy, out on my farm I'VE
had some half as big around as half
the top Of this table. We didn't eat any
Of it except the core, and yet the
whole family had enough Of it and
more"

These include many forms of pro-

is sometimes shown by both larvae

The suncrept out from the hazy sky,
And sent from the darkness its

Far over the hills where violets lie
Waiting to rise from their winters
dream.
And the little bird on my window bar
Rufled his throat, and sang with the
sun;
Till it seemed that darkness and
night were far,
And the light and morning were just
begun.
And l laid my book too gladly by,
And for a moment I dared rejoice,
In that moment clouds crept Ger the
sky
The bird had silenced its singing
voice.
And the dream drifted out of the
darkening room
AS sea-weeds drift with the ebbing
tide,
And over my spirit there came the
gloom
That comes alone, when the joy has
died. 'S-
