''Trixie" is Dead.

'Trixie, the little Fox Terrier dog
belonging to Mr.. P. O. Arrowsmith,
died at the home of her master here
Friday. "Trixie" was conceded to be
the most intelligent dog in the COM
munity. She was a household pet in
the Arrowsnith family as well as q
favorite in the community. Every
body knew her and respected her for
ker gentleness and wonderful instinct.
During all of her illness che was
treated by DR.. McInnis, the well
known veterinarian Of Charleston.
This last illness was her second time
at the door Of death. Something
over year ago while engaged at
her usual passtime-amusing bevy
ot little children-she jumped on a
sharp stob which penetrated he- ahdc-
men. She realized her injury and
gave up her pleasures with her lit
tie friends. She was taken tc Charles
ton for treatment which she accept
ed at the handS of DR.. Mclnnis in
a manner bordering on human intel
ligence. After a short time she was
bl ought back home and under the
affectionate, careful nursing she re
ceived in her home, finally recovered
ard has since continued source Of
pleasure and amusement t. large
circle of Kingstree's little folk.
If there should chance to be any
thing better in the great beyond for
dcgs of nobler mien W. heartily wish,
and further believe that "Trixie" will
attain the highest reward.

The Legislature.

1t is not yet possible to undertake
with any degree of confidence an as
sessment of the work of the legisla-
ture which has just adjourned. The
big issue was taxation. We thought
and so did many others-tEat there
should have been a cut of something
like twenty per cent right down the
line in all appropriations which had
been largely raised sinces 1913. The
weight of pressure, however, if not
tie weight of opinion, was the other
way; the friends of most Of the in
stitutions being strongly organized to
insist upon maintaining appropria-
tions on the basis of last year-and
in the main they have had their way.
In all the circumstances no leader
appearing to insist upon a fiat and
discriminating reduction, it is rather
remarkable that the appropriation
bill as passed should have been so
much below the original budget. AS
for the county budgets, the total fig
ures are not available as we write,
but in general there have been, we
think, increases rather than decreas-
es; and this, of course, is condition
for which public opinion in each coun-
ty budgets are held responsible. If
the county budgets arc still high it
is reasonable to assume that this is
because public sentiment has insisted
upon a continuance Of county salaries
and county activities on the basis
fixed last year or the year before.
The new measures for raising tax
money which have been adopted must
prove themselves by their results but
let it be said now that 6 good deal
more, was accomplished along this
line than many who had studied the
situation were prepared to expect
when the session opened. The bills
OF this character which passed should
bring in considerable revenue and
their enactment is a distinct achieve
ment. The rate fixed in the income
tex bill is unquestionably too high
but this is matter which can be ad-
justed hereafter. As the new meas
ures justify themselves, other sources
of revenue can be developed, step
or two at time, which when all Is
said is probably the surest way to
go forward, especially in q state like
ours.
We are glad that without adding
to the appropriation bill a way was
found of enabling the Citadel to Sc
cure the money to make the splendid
new plant available for use, and for
this the Citadel and its friends are
under new obligation to Senator Pad
gett. We are especially glad also
that the State Highway Commission
seems to have come through the ses-
sion in shape to carry cn its work,
thanks in no small measure to the
efforts of Senator Young.-Charles-
ton News and Courier.

The need OF a new library building
has been felt since 1898 when the
| Wilmington Institute was transform
ed from a paid to free institution
Actual plans for the building were
not taken up until 1915, when the
site for the new structure was decided
upon. A campaign for funds was held
IN 1916 and s325,0l.03 realized hy this.
After many difficulties, due to the
World War. which increased build
ing expenses. and certain legal mat
ters which prevented the purchase OF
the site for building. the committee In
charge was ablo to make definite
plans In 1919 when Louis Eden OF
New York was appointed mechanical
engineer. The members of the build
Ing committee were Edgar NJ. Hopes
\ Jr., John i. Nields. J. Edgar Rhoads
Henry I. Bush, Mayor Leroy Harvey
and L. s. du pont.
u In the autumn OF 1919 plans and
!, specifications of the new library Were
submitted to the contractors for es-
Inmates an to cost OF construction
The estimates were all more thar
5000. .00bsnd the library management
had less than 100000. SO It was inn
possible to build. In February. 1921
the Legislature authorized the city e
Issue bonds to tho amount OF S200,0O'
to aid in the erection OF the building
. City Council agreed 10 issue bond
to tho amount OF $500, 900 on May IL
. 1921. The architects changed the plan
and. specifications so that The cos
. would not exceed 100000, which wa
