pers had come from the presses in
the early morning. While at his
work, and when he arose shortly
after 1 O'Clock Sunday afternoon, he
seemed to be enjoying his usual ex-
cellent health.
Mr.. Curtis was born in Pickens
county, being a son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. r. Curtis. Four years ago he mar
ried Miss Lula Meadors. Both his
wife and mother survie him.

When the Senate continued until
next session the bill proposing tax
on gasoline and kerosene the fate Of
all the suggested additional revenue
bills was sealed. All four of the
bills intended to raise revenues from
new sources, other than the property
tax, were continued until next ses-

measures that had been suggested.
The Statewide stock law act is
perhaps the most generally import

the age OF consent and the California
