The news may as well be broken
now: The price of school books for
the next session will be from 80 to
100 per cent. higher than they have
been heretofore. This may seem difh-
cult to explain, but it is fact, never
theless, and for this reason: The
last contract for text books was made
i've years ago, at time when every
thing was cheap. Inasmuch as the
publishers were tied up in five year
contract, they were compelled to
maintain the contract prices which,
during the past three years, have not
even covered the, cost of printing. The
contracts expired this spring and new
contracts have been made Books
have sold in this state for one-fourth
to one-half the prices paid in other
states for several years past, and the
people have undoubtedly been saved
hundreds of thousands of dollars, al
though the average buyer probably
VIII never understand why the prices
have doubled at time when every
body expects prices to come down.

PLANTATION of my pardon record or the
recent pardons which have aroused
criticism in some quarters" former
Governor Robert A. Cooper, now safe
ly enconsed in nice federal job, is
quoted as saying. The governor IS a
Fairly good politician. He did his
talking about pardons before his
election. He pleased the people in his
promises not to interfere with the
yerdicts of juries unless he was sat-
isfed the juries were wrong, and
by thus pleasing them got votes. The
governor, in spite of these promises,
granted many pardons-too many
most people seem to think-and has
nothing to say about doing so. It Is
an established fact that man can
not be criticised for what he says
il he says nothing.

sisted Of service, to the state OF

largely through his efforts. His short

AIMS HOUSE HEAD
is SHOT TO DEATH.

Columbia, May 2S.-The Rev. Vim
cent Davis, superintendent of the
Richland county aims house, was shot
to death there early this morning the
county authorities charge by James
Watts Crocker, an inmate for the past
seven months. Two shots were fired,
the second one piercing the heart Of
Mr. Davis, causing instant death.
The authorities attribute the cause
to the request of Mr.. Davis, made of
Mrs. Crocker, also an inmate, Friday
to assist in the kitchen, as the regular
cook had quit, to which Crocker is
said to have taken umbrage.
According to Sheriff Heise, inter-
preting versions OF the tragedy from
three eyewitnesses, the cook and two
inmates, Mr.. Davis went to the ca bin
occupied by the Crocker couple this
morning about 8 o'clock with smok-
ing tobacco for Crocker. Crocker, it
is said,' opened the door, pulled re-
volver and fired two shots, the Sec
ond of which entered the heart of
Mr.. Davis, who staggered about forty
i've feet and sank to the ground dead
Sheriff Heise stated that Mrs.
Crocker said she was not present at
the time of the killing but that her
husband admitted when she came
the house, that he had killed Mr..
Davis.
Sheriff Heise and Rural Police
Chief Dunaway were notified Of the
tragedy and reached the aims house
together. They were warned that
Crocker might try. to do them vio-
lence. They saw Crocker sitting in
the window with a revolver in his
hand, said Sheriff Heise, but when
they commanded him to come out he
did so, leaving the revolver on the
table in the cabin.
The revolver, said Sheriff Heise,
was 32-caliber Smith & Wesson and
had a full round of charged shells
in it when found. The sheriff's sup
position is that it was reloaded after
the two shots were fired.
The Rev. Vincent Davis was a re-
tired minister of the Methodist Epis-
copal church and was one Of the best
known men of Richland county,
where he has lived practically all of
his life. He was noted for his philan-
thropic attitude and he took the sup
erintendency of the aims house be-
cause he thought he could be of real
benefit to the charity charges of the
county. He is survived by Claud N.
Davis, real estate dealer; Frank N.
Davis, clothing merchant; Lawrence
J. Davis, advertising manager Of the
Columbia Record, and Henry D. Da-
Wis, travelling man, his sons all resi-
dents of Columbia. -"o

Joseph W. Tolbert
For u. s. Marshal

Washington, June 6.-Joseph w.
Tolbert, Repub blican national commit
teeman and state chairman for South
Carolina, was today nominated by
President Harding to be United State
marshal for the western federal dis
trict of South Carolina to succeed
C. J. Lyon, the Democratic incum-
bent.
The nomination of J. W. Tolbert
suddenly followed the decision of the
president not to send to the senate
the nomination of R. R. Tolbert, of
Abbeville, brother of the national
committeeman for the marshalship
after having R. R. Tolbert under Sc
rious consideration for number of
weeks. The white house evidently
decided that confirmation would be
too difficult. Senators Smith and Dial
said this afternoon that they had not
decided what they would do with re-
gard to the Tolbert nomination, but
they had asked the judiciary COM
mittee to withhold action on it for
while. :. - .-:>...3 - :,,%,
At the same time the president
was sending the nomination of Com
mitteeman Tolbert to the senate, the
senate committee on postofflces was
taking upfavorable action on the
nomination of B. ]. Mixson to
be postmaster at Orangeburg.
Mr.. Hixson has been under
stood to be the personal rep
resentative of Tolbert in that section
and has been acting as postmaster
for some time. When Mr.. Mixson
was nominated for postmaster, Sen
ator Dial opposed the nomination and
charged before the postoffice commit
tee that ;Mixson. had on two separate
occasions conveyed to Miss Singletary
the Democratic holdover postmaster
at Bowman, the suggestion that it
she would pay him a sum of money
he would see that she kept her Office.
Two postoffice inspectors reported
that the facts were as Senator Dial
had stated and the committee today
voted to recommend the rejection of
the Mixson nomination.
In the civil service examination
which was held for the Orangeburg
postmastership, DR.. A. G. Ligon, for
seven years the Democratic postmas-
ter, was No. 1 on the List certified
and A. D. Webster, for seventeen
years the Republican predecessor of
DR.. Ligon as postmaster, was No. 2.
Mixson was third. Whether there
will be another civil service exami-
nation for the1office or it will be fill
ed from the present eligible list is
not known. .-=

Thursday, June 8, 1922.

The Columbia State, quoting The
Bamberg Herald, says that Bamberg
county will spend $4,000 on i'm
proving the highway from Bamberg
to Branchville. The Herald should
have been a little more explicit, per-
haps, and supplemented the inforn1a-
ton that this loan of $40, 900 to Bam-
berg county will cover only one-half
the cost of this improvement. The
federal government matches Bam-
berg county dollar for dollar, and
will therefore, put up another s20,-
000 for this work. The highway
from Bamberg to Branchville will be
one of the finest roads in the state.

siding and preferred for that reason
not to accept the honor. Two women,
Miss Katherine Mulligan, of Spartan
burg, and Mrs. M. T. Coleman, of Abb
beville, were elected vice-presidents,
and fifteen other women served on
committees. All the work done by
women was done gracefully and well.
But it is understood that the real
constructive work Of the convention
was done by the men composing it's
body. They were the ones who direct
ed its thinking, who guided the prin-
ciples of our great party and who
very patiently set themselves to the
task of teaching the women the ins
and outs Of a political convention.
They were ever courteous, tactful and
eager to help. Women will not for
get the help the men of the state gave
them in the Democratic convention Of
May, 1922.
Also be it understood that while
we held our peace we learned great
deal like:
"a wise old owl sat in an oak,
The more he heard the less he
spoke,
The less he spoke the more he
heard,
Why are we not like this bird?'
The women in the convention play
ed the wise old owl, said little and
consequently heard much, but it was
the general opinion that they behaved
wisely and that the next convention
will find them better able to carry
their part of the Democratic troubles
and joys.
"The questions most discussed" I
continued, ''Were the soldier bonus,
education, the farm bloc, and
"Oh, yes, sure. But you know, l
think that's pretty good about the
lady getting up and announcing that
after a long discussion that they had
churned a long time not to. get any
butter. What do you think"
Here usually left my good friend
hurriedly with the Injunction to read
the daily papers. 1t seems from the
reports in these dailies that reporters
we're very much interested in us too!

FOUR ROOMS EFFECTIVELY
ARRANGED.

Already balmy breezes are carry
ing the delicate fragrance OF spring
buds and blossoms, and the city
dweller in his nat or apartment Is
awakening from the lethargy of
winter and polishing up and tinker
ing with the family bus. for the
customary weekend drive into the
country. And he seriously wonders
II he isn't missing some of the inner
opportunities and responsibilities Of
life by not owning a home, humble
though II might be.
Truly the glad and efficient re-
sponse with which American woman
kind has assumed the new respon-
sibilities of citizenship augurs we'll
for the return OF the normal Amer
lean family life from which We
have been diverted in such large
measure in the last decade or two.
For the vigorous woman will ex-
pect and demand a house where she
can rear healthy. well developed
children who will grow up into law
abiding citizens.
The careless and Indifferent citt-
zenship bred into the race of nat
and apartment dwellers which we
have threatened to become will give
way to virile. upsta nding type
born and bred in the home which
each father apd mother of a family
should fight to call their own.
Many are the ways in which the
owning OF the home can be financed,
and the scrimping and saving to
make the first payment are always
looked to in after years as the
happy beginning OF the real family
life.
As the family is whirled down
one of the many cofcrete ribboned
highways which weave their way
through the charming countryside,
and into villages and towns ana
cities, they find revealed here and
there the simple appealing homes
Of which the one pictured herewith
is an example.

cause II was designed by Eampe
