"While I was in New York" said
Nh. Mccarthy, 81 was weaving the
plot of a play for Mr.. E. H. Sothern.
The idea did not work out as we ex-
pected, so I spoke to Mr.. Sothern
about Francois Villon. I had been
interested in Villon since I was very
young, during the days when was
travelling on the continent to COM
plete my education. Villon always
fascinated me. translated. l trans

book practically at the same time.

TIRED OF BEING. TAXED
FOR BAD ADVICE
Mr.. McLaurin Says Proposed Plan of
Cotton Graders, Is Waste of
:: Good Money

To the Editor of The State:
!. On the 21st inst, we see that bill
was passed to second reading in the
house of representatives to tax every
bale of cotton rs cents a bale for the
use of the American Cotton associa-
tion to place cottont graders over the
state. This would mean a direct tax
upon the cotton farmers of about
100000 per annun, for what? To
pay a number of big salaries and
create great many lucrative posi-
tions. The benefits to the cotton farm
els would be absolutely negligible.
If this money was used to investigate
the climate at the north pole, it
would be of just as much benefit to
the cotton farmers. We hear a great
deal about the official cotton graders.
If there is anything the majority of
them can not do, it is to grade cot
ton. Experience has shown this. All
the official cotton graders in the uni
verse can not get the cotton farmers
any more for their cotton than tire
buyers are willing to pay. We may
have our cotton graded by official
graders, but this does not help in 3D.
vancing the market, and when we sell
we positively must sell on the buy
er's grading.
The past record of the American
Cotton association has not been
very bright one. When cotton was
40 cents this association urged the
farmers to hold for so cents. Some
are still following this advice to their
great sorrow. When cotton was 30
cents last fall this association urged
the farmers to hold for 40 GEMS. We
obeyed this wise advice and today
our cotton farmers are facing ruin.
We do not want more of this kind of
advice, and especially when we are
to pay 100000 annually for it. This
advice was very expensive when given
free, and the farmers of this state
do not want to be taxed for any such
fool purpose. We are now laboring
under the greatest tax burden of all
ages, and we are crying for relief.
The taxpayers ask for the appro-
priation to be made less in 1921 than
it was in 1920. So far this request
has been scorned and ignored. We

that the people are suffering under
heavy burdens of taxation, and they
are only waiting for Moses to lead
them out of this wilderness of taxa

values, how many can pay their

WINS
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

The Newberry college quintet cas-
lily defeated the Furman five at the
college gym. last night by the score
of 46 to 13. This was the last game
of the season for the Indians and
cinched the state championship for
Newberry. The contest was very one
sided and rather uninteresting on
that account. For Newberry, Nc
Phee and Shealy were the outstand-
ing stars, the former playing brilliant
ly in spite of an injury, he scoring
20 points. Nelson played best for
Furman, although the playing of the
visitors was mediocre throughout.
The season which has just closed
has been a brilliant one for the local
institution. During the season, the
Indians have won fourteen games and
lost OILY one. Every other college
quintet in the state has lost two or
more games, leaving to Newberry un-
disputed claim to the South Carolina
basketball title for the season of
1921. The championship team will
be back intact again next year, every
member Of the team expecting to re-
turn for the 1921-1922 session. 1t is
practically certain that two and pos

be awarded places on this years ALL
