News Reached Here.

The news of the death of Samuel
Arthur Derieux in New York early
yesterday morning of appendicitis
was received in Columbia yesterday,
coming as a distinct shock to his
friends here, many of whom did not
even know that he had returned to
New York.
Mr.. Derieux spent the months of
December and January in Columbia
on a visit to relatives here and only
returned to New York about three
weeks ago. While in Columbia Nh.
Derieux underwent a minor opera
ton. Upon his return to New York,
however, he discovered that he was
suffering from appendicitis. Five
days ago he underwent an operation
in New York and for a few days ap-
peared to be making steady progress
to ward recovery. Late Saturday
night, however, he suffered a relapse,
suddenly growing worse, death com
ing early yesterday morning. James
C. Derieux, his brother, own recently
moved to New York from Columbia,
was at his bedside.
4, The body will be brought to Co.
lumbia today while the funeral will
be held Tuesday afternoon at a
o'clock, the funeral services h.:ng
conducted from the residence of his
parents, 532 Harden street. Further
announcement as to funeral arrange
ments will be made today.
Born in Richmond.
Samuel Arthur Derieux, short story
writer, a member of the editorial
staff of The American Magazine and
one of the half dozen best known
South Carolinians engaged in literary
e~ndeavors, was born in Richmond,
Va, November 5, 1881. His parents,
the Rev. William Thomas and Lottie
(Bookhart) Derieux, later moved to
South Carolina where Mr.. DerieuX be-
gan his literary education and ca
reer. He was a student at Wofford
college ,Spartanburg, during the
years 1897 to 1899, and in 1904 re-
ceived his bachelor of arts degree at
Richmond college. He then began his
graduate studies at Johns Hopkins
university, where he was a student
from 1906 to 1908. In 1910 he won
his master of arts degree from the
University of Chicago.
English had been his especial study
in both his undergraduate and grad
uate college years and after gradua"
ton he for a number of years served
as a teacher, beginning in the Ander-

Do Lands Deserve No Relief?

If any member of the senate be-
lieyes that the taxes now levied on
lands and houses, farms and farm
equipment, are not, in the present
crisis, too great, now is the time to
stand up and say so.
That is the issue. That is the ques-
ton.
TO reduce the land taxes substan-
italy, two ways are open.
One is close the University, Win
throp, the Citadel, the state hospital,
the college for negroes, the medical
college, to cease paying pensions,
abolish the health department and
other activities, shut up the various
reform schools and to cripple the
conmon schools. Remaining to pay
would be the salaries of the govern
or and a few public officers, expenses
of the legislature and the courts and
the other costs of administration in
the simplest form, together with in
terest on the public debt.
The other is to raise revenues by
taxing other objects than land. Sales
taxes may be imposed on certain ar
ticles that men can live without.
The people can not live without
food, clothing and shelter.
A tax on lands is a tax on food,
clothing and shelter. Who doubts it
let him try to dig. them and the where
with to get them out of land.
IF, in this crisis, the taxes on lands
are NOT TOO GREAT, the true
thing, The square thing, the right
thing, S to STAND UP AND SAY
so.
If tn land tax is too great, some
thing e.se should be taxed in place
of lane.
The motion picture people object
80 a IS tax.
Ca re live without motion pic
ures
The beverage people protest.
Without beverages shall we perish?
The tobacco people demonstrate.
Is a cigarette a necessity of life?
The motorist and the gasoline deal
ed complain.
Is life with less joy-riding life all
joyless and desolate?
The producers CT hydro-electric
power and these who would be sub
ject to an income tax murmur-
But what is to be done?
That all luxury sales taxes are IN
Just and destructive is nonsense. Such
taxes aye not new under the sun.
What objects should be taxed and
what should be exempt is wholly a
matter of expediency; a matter of
selection. On the plans proposed and
pending able ard honest men have
labored the last two years.
AS for DIRECTORS, DIRECTORS we
shall always have with US.
If the pending bills are imperfect,
let the legislature amend them, if it
takes ali winter-and summer, too.
If the legislature is unwilling to
close the states institutions and is
unwilling to tax sales to raise reve-
nues, It follows that the legislature
thinks that lands, in this crisis Of
agriculture, should have no relief
from taxation-and it is time for
them 10 STAND UP AND SAY so.
The State.

Short Story Writer.

In 1917 he became connected with
the editorial staff of the American
Magazine to which he has contribut-
ed a large proportion of his literary
work. At the same time he moved to
New York where he was living at the
time of his death. Since 1917 he has
continued his connection with The
American Magazine, contributing Sc
rails, short stories, and special ar
ticles to many literary magazines and
at the same time serving IS a special
lecturer on the short story at Column
bia university. The stories of dogs,
published in various magazines,
brought him national recognition and
led him in a measure to specialize in
this field of story telling. His short
stories are now being collected and
Doubleday, Page & Co., is bringing
out his first volume. This company,
which had contracted to publish all
his works is expecting to print a
second volume some time during the
summer.
As a teller of interesting tales he
had won for himself nc small niche
in the hall of fame of present day
magazine writers and was one of the
best known Southerners engaged in
this field. He was a member of the
Authors League of America and in
the estimation of Booth Harrington,
a fellow craftsman in literary labor
and the author of some of the most
distinctive of recent American short
stories, novels and plays, was ranked
among the foremost short story writ
ers of America.
August %, 1911, he married Miss
Mary Ida Wiley of Grinnell, Iowa,
who as fiction critic of The Delineat-
or assisted and worked with him in
his literary e%ndeavors. Mrs. DerieuN
survives him. He is also survived by
his parents, the Rev. and Mrs. w. T.
Derieux of Columbia; two sisters,
Mrs. 7. C. Handy and Miss Minnie
Derieux of Columbia, and two broth
ers, James C. Derieux of New York
and 7. B. Derieux of Columbia.-The
State.

Pure Bred Hogs More
Profitable.

Batesburg, Feb. 24.-M. E. Rut-
land, one of the leading farmers of
this section, shipped a ear of hogs to-
day, making the second shipment this.
season. In his efforts to beat the boil
weevil Mr.. Rutland planted consider.
able corn and velvet, beans last year
which were pastured off in hogs. The
car shipped today was made up of
pure bred Duroc-Jerseys and scrubs.
They all went on pasture in October.
The pure breds went on pasture at
an average of 81 pounds and went
out at an average of 200 pounds,
while his scrubs went on pasture at
an average of 95 pounds and went
out at an average of 1872 pounds. All
of them had the same treatment and.
the same opportunity, liz so far as
feed was concerned. The results, how
ever, are very favorable to the pure
breds, indicating the possibility OF
profit in feeding, while the scrubs in
dictate that there is little opportuni-
ty for profit. The same results were
indicated in the shipment made four
weeks ago after four months of pas
turing.
