nearer will they come to that

"Alix, Alix, where are you?"
Bab's voice broke IN upon my ret

MANY ARE OUT FOR
JUDGE CAGES SEAT
Campaigning Swamps Halls Of The
Legislature-Little Else Done

Columbia, Feb. 15.-The ring is
already full of hats, hats that are
filling with aspirations for the asso-
ciate justiceship made vacant by the
death Sunday of Associate Justice
Gage Of Chester. There is little else
taking place in the halls of the Gen.
eral Assembly, beyond the cam
paigning for the justiceship. Friends
of the candidates are hard at work
for their favorites and a long strug-
gle is predicted. (
Already the following candidates
have been announced by their
friends for the justiceship:
Circuit Judge Thomas S. Sease, of
Spartanburg; Judge R. W. Memmin-
ger of Charleston; Judge Hayne F.
Rice, of Aiken; Judge S. W. G.
Shipp, of Florence; Judge W. H.
Townsend, of Columbia; Judge Ed
ward McIver, of 'Cheraw; Jesse T.
Carter, of Bamberg; General M. L..
Bonham, of Anderson! State Sena-
tor ]. M. Marion, of Chester; Prof.
E. Marion Rucker, Of the University
Law School, and Judge Mendal L.
Smith, Of Camden, and Judge Err
nest Moore.
EACH of these candidates is being
strongly advocated by friends on
both legislative floors. In one case
each member of the General Assem-
bly, received a personal telegram
Monday night, asking that one of
these candidates be supported for
the justiceship.
1t is freely predicted that the Sc
lection of the new associate justice
will be no easy matter. 1t is stated
that probably a score of ballots will
be necessary, and the legislature
may consume several days in the
selection of the new supreme court
justice.
This means that the legislature
has at least another week, may be
two, after the present week, before

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Salaries paid to State employees,
including also employees of a town
county, or hamlet, are exempt from
taxation. Thousands of persons en-
gagged in business for themselves OF
as employees in private business re-
ceife such additional compensation
A storekeeper may be elected mayor
of his town. The amount paid for
such service should be entered on
his income tax return, but it is not
taxable.
State employees, however, must
consider carefully their income from
all other sources. If, excluding the
amounts paid them by the State, it
equals or exceeds $1,000 or $4,000,
according to their martial status, a
return of income must be filed and
the tax paid on net income in excess
of those amounts.
The return must be sworn to be-
fore a notary or other person au-
thorized to administer an oath. The
tax may be paid in full at the time
of filing the return or in four equal
installments, due on or before March
Is, June Is. September Is, and De-
cember Is, 1921. At least one-fourth
of the amount due must accompany
the filing of the return.
Salary exemptions allowed State
employees do not apply to employees
of the Federal Government, such, for
example, as postmasters.

WOULD RE-DISCOUNT
COTTON FACTOR PAPER

Washington, Feb. 15.-The
House banking and currency COM
mittee was urged today by Repre-
sentative Brand, Democrat. Geor-
gia, to take favorable action on his
amendment which would make cot
ton factors paper eligible for redis-
count at the federal reserve banks.
Many cotton farmers in. the south
are financed by factors, Mr.. Brand
declared, and they are handicapped
by inability to get the federal re-
serve bank to accept their paper for
rediscount.
The paper of the agricultural
classes has been disseminated"
against by rulings which have "dis-
tored and twisted the intent of the
act creating the federal reserve sys-
tenn, Representative Wingo, Demo-
crat, Arkansas, declared, adding he
proposed at the first opportunity Ito
tell the inside facts" on the floor of
the House.
An amendment similar to that of
Representative Brands, which was
introduced by Senator Hoke Smith,,
Democrat, Georgia, has been favor
ably reported in the Senate, limiting
the resdiscounting of factors paper
to the "extent of the factors inter-
est in the commodity" Several
members of the House committee in
dicated they were favorable to this
amendment which would, they say,
limit the privilege to paper secured
by bona fide transactions with far
mers.

nance. In 1845, Boston made bathing
unlawful except when prescribed by
physician. Virginia taxed bathtubs
$50 a year. President Fillmore in
stalled the first one ever in the White
House.
"These things seem incredible in
an age when transient hotel accom-
modations include a bathroom, but
sanitation is a recent development.
A southern Ohio lawyer went to Co.
lumbus a few years ago, and when
he registered at the hotel the clerk
asked him if he wanted room with
bath. The guest thoughtfully rub
bed the stubble on his chin, and re-
piled: No; I'll be home by Satur-
day. A similar story is told of new
ly rich lady who was showing friend
of her days of poverty the very elab-
crate bathroom in her new home. 1t
was-a sizzling hot August night. La
how you must enjoy that tub she
exclaimed. Indeed l do,' was the re-
sponse; 4 can hardly wait for Satur-
day night to come.'" To these may
be added the incident of the man who
was persuaded to order a bathtub
during the heat of August, but re-
fused to accept a delayed October
shipment on the ground that the ar
ticle was now. of no use to him,
'since the bathing season was over"
It is stated that the senatorial
baths at Washington, which of re-
cent years have been undeveloped
and deserted, are again to be put to
use. Perhaps our wearers of the toga
will lead the way in revival Of the
best classical traditions.
Legislation making bathing COM
pulsory has not been suggested, pro-
bably because Americans have vol
UNFAIRLY shown themselves to be rea-
sonably civilized in this regard. The
thousands who throng the bathing
beaches are evidently not in sympa-
thy with the man who thanked God
he had never insulted his skin by put
ting cold water on it; still less would
they approve of the unkempt vagrant,
who misunderstood his sentence of
thirty days to be for "fragrancy."-

BArHTUBs AND PROGRESS

1t seems that the bathtub may be
a measure of civilization and pro-
gress. In the classical daySof Greco
Roman grandeur, bathing was fine
art, and it's rites were performed
amid luxurious surroundings. But
when the world reeled backward in
to the chaos of the Dark Ages, the
refnements of the bath, with its per-
fumes and anointingsApas out of
vogue. Pious hermits, devoted to
mystic contemplation, gave slight
care to the perishable body. The rab-
BILE has been cynically said to have
been distinguished by it's fear of
learning, perdition, and the bathtub.
Cleanliness and sanitation received
scant recognition from either public
or private persons. The world was
ravaged by plague and pestilence.
Finally, inspired by the discover
les of science, governments began to
promulgate and enforce sanitary
regulations. AS stated in IL R. G. L..
1864: "The health Of the people has
long been recognized as an economic
asset and a social blessing. 1t was
subject of ancient literature and
philosophy, and never, perhaps, has
civilized man been obvious to its i'm
portance. Yet it has remained for our
own times, which might be styled the
age of conservation, to take practi-
cal cognizance of the matter. AS our
population has increased and our
civilization has become more COM
plex, there has been steady tenden-
cy toward code of rules to guard
against illness, disease, and pesti-
lence. Health officers and boards have
been appointed for the purpose OF
1evising and enforcing sanitary
measures, and there has been much
litigation in respect of particular
matters affecting health"
"The first bathtub in the United
States," records writer in the
Omaha Bee, "was> built in Cincinna-
ii, and installed in home there in
1912. 1t was made of mahogany, lin
ed with sheet lead, and was proudly
exhibited by it's owner at Christmas
party. Next day it was denounced in
the Cincinnati papers as luxurious
undemocratic vanity. Then came the
medical men and declared It men
ace to health. In 1843, Philadelphia
tried to prohibit bathing between
November l and March Is, by ordi.

we already have, and are already in
debt, which all of US are, how can
we put up a thousand dollars to buy
an October contract. And if we buy
the contract and do manage to get
up the one thousand dollars and the
market goes down and wesare called
on for another thousand dollars,
where is the money coming from?
Then again, if we buy an October
contract for G hundred bales to be
delivered in that month and the cot
ton is offered to US when the time
comes, where are we going to get
the money to pay for it. And where
will the next man get it? When the
cotton is offered to us at the purchase
price, We must pay for it, or the SELL
er will offer it to the next man, and
to the next, and so on until he finds
someone with the money, and if the
price which he finally gets is less than
the price at which the cotton, has
been sold to US, somebody is stung.
Certainly none of the farmers will
have any money to take over the cot
ton he might buy, nor any his neigh
bor buys unless he is making money
crop this year.
It all comes back to this. The peo-
pie of this country who are in debt
are forced to pay 'leir indebtedness.
They must sell their cotton to do it.
The loss is considerable, but they
must take it. Having sold the cotton
and taken the loss, the thing to do is
to profit by the mistakes already
made. Let every man produce his
own corn. Let him plant enough for
farm purposes. Let him raise his own
meat. Let him have a garden, po-
tato patch, and patches for produc-
ing those things on the farm which
will grow there, and the buying of
which may be avoided. Having done
this, let him plant the rest of his
lands in cotton. No fertilizers, or
practically none, should be used.
If this is done, we shall find next
fall that we are out of debt. A small
er crop will have been produced. The
cotton which is on hands may be car
ried and sold when we are<ready to
sell it. But we cannot hold the pres
ent cotton, pay storage charges, in
terest and suffer further losses.
The time has come. to liquidate.
The man who does it gradually will
be wise. Cotton may go up 2 little
later in the year, but there is no GER
tainty of it. In view of this fact, we
must act in the present according to
what seems best.

shows some signs of returning life.
The manufacturers are increasing
their output. Rubber companies are
more optimistic, as they find that un-
consumed stocks are lighter than
formerly estimated. Automobile
plants are re-engaging large numbers
of workers. Copper men are less pes
simistic. Europe has been buying
wheat. The electrical industry is be-
coming quite busy. Hat manufacture

people. Bankers are untightening the
monetary screws. Investments have
