Crisis Passed, Says Harding.

Spartanburg, Feb. 1S.-"The fed
eral reserve board no longer looks
with apprehension on the financial
conditions in this country because the
crisis has been passed and the condi-
tion of the federal reserve banks
show strength in all regions" said
Gov. W. P. G. Harding, of the fed
eral reserve board, speaking before
the annual dinner of the Spartanburg
chamber of commerce here tonight.
tThe thing needed now is bolder
front, horse sense, and a spread of
the conservative optimism that is
found over the country" His position
was that the federal reserve board
did not restrict credits and bring on
the slump in prices but absorbed that
shock when the breaks came, through
natural reaction from conditions of
imitation following the end of the
war. There will always be good times
and bad times, he said, and we still
have our problems in taxation and
foreign trade relations, but they will
be worked out. There are always just
two places where the sun is always
shining-Death Valley, Cal, and the
Desert of Sahara, he said. In connec-
ton with the charge that the federal
reserve board has withheld loans
from agricultural interests he said
the board has recently answered the
question from a congressional COM
mittee showing that agricultural
loans in 1919 were S721, 100000
while in 1920 they were s1,9SO,OoO,-
600. The governor said the farmers
of the country should dispose of their
products in an orderly fashion and
follow some orderly plan of produc-
tion in the year ahead.

Peat Used as Fuel in Earliest Time,

Peat Used as Fuel in Earliest Times.
The use of peat as source of heat
goes back beyond the historical period
into the ancient history of the early
tribes in northern Germany. Pliny,
the Roman naturalist, gives US posi-
bly, the first indication of the use of
peat. He reports that the Teutons on
the border of the North sea dried and
burned mud, what we now would call
peat. In Ireland, Great Britain and
Russia, Scandinavia, Germany, Hol-
land and parts of France peat has
been used as a fuel since time Inn
memorial. The peat was cut from the
bog very much in the same manner
as it is still being done in many parts
of Euro5e, where it is cut in brick
shapes, allowed to dry In the wind
and sun.

Would Add Weight to a War

lax.
We are in the midst of period of
declining wages and salaries.
Is this the time to talk about add
| ing state income tax to the federal
income tax?
The thing can be overdone. State
income taxes have sometimes driven
the drawers of large salaries out of
one state into another.
Some of the larger salaries paid
by corporations having their plants
in South Caorlina are now paid to
citizens of other states. A citizen of
Seattle may reside in South Carolina
and pay his personal taxes in the
state of Washington.
For the present, the field of income
taxation shouldsbe left to the federal
government. The taxes are now COL
lected from class-the class having
net incomes of more than $4,000, If
having no dependents, or $1,000 if
without dependents. An income tax
enacted in South Carolina, with SIM
liar exemptions, would be in effect
no more than an increase of the tax
es paid by this class, to be collected
with the indirect assistance of the
federal revenue officers.
We hear torrents of nonsense
about "home rule" and, on the heels
of it, proposal to transfer taxcol-
lecting, in some degree, to the gov
ernment of the United States, a gov
ernment in three weeks to pass into
the hands of the Republican party.
Manifestly, no state income tax
will be generally and equitably ad-
ministered to long as tax collectors
are chosen by primary.
Apparently, the enactment of a
state income tax law would be simply
that, after having had one some 20
year and having failed to enforce it.,
having miserably "laid down. on the
task of dealing squarely with our
selves, we are ready to try it again
in the hope that the United States
will make it impossible for us not to
enforce it with a measure of uniform
ity and square dealing.
After few years, if the country
remains at peace, the federal income
tax law will be repealed or the rate
of it greatly reduced. 1t is now an
excessive tax-because it is war
tax. Shall South Carolina, while this
excessive burden is at the peak, de-
liberately enlarge it?
Moreover, a state income tax
should not, if enacted, provide ex-
emptions of $4,000 and $1,000.
There is no reason, in equity or JUS
tice, that anyone should be wholly
exempted. 1t should be graduated,
that is sound principle, and it
should fall lightly on persons of small
income, but no one should be allowed
to feel that he is entirely free of OBJ
legation to bear a part of the burden
of the state out of his earnings, if
part of the burden is to be placed on
earnings.
1t may be a good law but it is not
good morals for legislatures to divide
the people into classes of taxpayers
and non-taXpayers.
If South Carolina is to have an. in
come tax, every man and woman eX-
ercising the rights and enjoying the
privileges of citizenship should pay
it, though the minimum be no more
than a dollar of fifty cents.-The
State.

How To Get Relief
From Rheumatism
Scientists Agree That the Caus,
Is Due to Waste Products
In the Blood.

The bloodis the means by which all tissues
muscles, ligaments and flesh of the body ar
directly or indirectly nourished. 1t is als'
thru the blood stream that WORKOUT tissue
and waste products are cast out of the system
When waste products accumulate, they are
a menace to life. They cause lowered
vitality, many skin disorders and rheuma,
tism. Genuine relief from the agonies OF
rheumatism can be had only by correcting
the basic trouble-a0aste products.
Thousands and thousands of men and
women during the past 50 years have cleared
their blood of waste products with S. S. S.
1t is the ideal remedy for rheumatism, be-
cause it removes the poisonous waste matter
which is causing the trouble. There are nc
bad after effects and the result is wonderful

a crime for any one not to be
able to read and write; it is a
crime upon the Individual, upon
the parents, upon the county and
state.
According to the 1920 census
there are 241, AS i1literate per-
sons ten years Of age and over
in the state Of North Carolina.
Of this number 1O4,673 are ma
tive whites of native parents,
Ill are Of foreign or mixed par
entage, and 474 are Of foreign
birth. The number Of illiterate
negroes is 1873, 516. The percent
age Of illiteracy of all classes is
13.1, which shows a gratifying
decrease since 1910 census, the
rate then being 1875 There is
more illiteracy in the rural dis
tricts than in the cities, and that
is what we here are interested in.

acy among whites in this State is
in Edgecombe County, which
shows 22.4, while the lowest is Bun

is not q creditable showing for
Halifax, in comparison with the

pie school facilities are provided

ness Of parents and children if
they are not taking advantage
of their opportunity. There is
absolutely no excuse for a person
young or old not knowing how
to read or write and in these
modern days a person should be
ashamed to acknowledge that
they are illiterate. The law re-
curing school attendance should
be strictly enforced and the illit-
crates Of the county should be
sought out and taught to read
and write. A person who is not
educated to a more or less extent

PERSISTENCE WINS

A fight lasting over a period Of
SIX years or more for bridge
across Roanoke River has culmin-
ated in the actual raising Of the
necessary money for the com
pletion Of this project. During
all time the Roanoke River has
been as a wall to the North Of
Scotland Neck, and has limited
It's trading area III that direction
to a bare SIX or seven miles Of
sparseIy populated territory, but
the completion Of this bridge
will mean the elimination Of this
handicap, and it only remains for
the initiative Of the business men
of this town to find a way to in
duce the trade across the river
to come this way.
Is is fact, often testified. that
Scotland Neck possesses as at
tractlve stores as any town many
times It's size, and up to the time
of the present depression, has
always carried an attractive line
Of goods. IF the merchants will
only get down to brass tacks and
study the needs and wants Of
this new population, make friends
with the people, and bid for
their trade, they VIII get it, but
if they simply wait for it to come
without any inducement, it will
continue to 90 elsewhere.
Invite these new neighbors
over, show them that you want
to make real friends OF them.
make the stores attractive and
carry the goods that they want
to buy, and the business Of Scot
land Neck will increase beyond
all expectations.
Under the new system Of mar
keting peanuts, it is very prob
able that a market place will be
provided here, and the present
peanut factory utilized. It now
seems that cooperative market
ing Of warehouses should b(
built here. The same applies t6
tobacco. Il we provide all these
facilities for the convenience O.
