$500 Per Year in Advance
Tax Reform is Being
Neglected Somewhat

Columbia, Feb. 3.-Chances Tor
complete success of the tax reform
programme of the present legislature,
the burden of whose work is aieVla-
ton of the tax burden, appears at this
date in the session to be somewhat
doubtful, though part OF the pro-
gramme has already carried.
None of the bills has passed all
stages in the process of legislation
and several of them have apparently
struck snags.
The gasoline and the inheritance
tax bills have gone further than any
of the others. They have both pass
ed both branches of the assembly and
are now in the house for action on
amendments made by the senate.
Both will pass in some form.
The corporation license tax bill has
developed strong opposition. It was
called up in the senate Thursday
night, but it ran against snag the
first thing. A motion was made to
strike out its enacting words, which
would have, if carried, laid it to rest
for this session. However, this mo-
ton was withdrawn to allow the bill
to go to third reading, subject to
amendments there, and for debate at
that final stage. There are senator's
strongly opposed to it and who pro-
pose to fight it.
The income tax BILL, which passed
the house, is on the senate calendar,
and has been for good while, for
second reading, and it seems to be
standing still.
The luxuries tax bill has been re-
ported twice by the ways and means
committee with favorable reports. 1t
went to the committee the second
time to allow for public hearings. 1t
is being opposed but will likely pass.
The hydro-electric power tax bill
is in the hands of the finance commit
tee of the senate. where strong op-;
position on the part of manufactur-
ers, large and small, has been regis
tired. There are members OF the u
nance committee out of sympathy
with this tax and strong lobby Is
being waged against it.
The bill to create a tax on moving
picture films is also in the hands OF
the senate finance committe, not hav-
Ing as yet been reported back.

PREHISTORIC AMERICANS.
Sensational Find in Ruin of Ancient
Dwelling in New Mexico.

The tomb of a prehistoric warrior
who apparently fell in combat has
been discovered in the ruin Of a large
Pueblo community dwelling near AZ
tee. New Mexico, which is being ex-
plored by the American Museum OF
Natural History. A description OF
the burial chamber and it's contents
has been received from Earl H. Nor
ris, in charge of the work Of evacu-
alton, according to a New York dis
patch.
'"Beneath the debris adjacent to
the famous painted room opened in
1920, there has been found a second
chamber perfectly preserved in every
detail," he writes.
s'In it was found the body of a war
rior over six feet and an inch In
height and death had come to the
stalwart defender of the village when
he was in the prime Of life and in the
height of his glory as well.
"A fallen chamber not far distant
from the warriors tomb contained
thirteen skeletons, and the thirteenth
was one of the most extraordinary
which has come to light in the entire
ruin The remains were those Of an
old woman and a stout splinter from
a broken ceiling timber had been
hewn to a point, then driven COM
pletely through the pelvis and well
into the earth beneath"

TAX PosTPoNEMENT CERTAINTY.
House Agrees to Bill Sent From the
Senate to Delay Collection.

Columbia, Feb. 3.-The postpone
ment of taxes this year became q
surety when the house Thursday
passed on third reading and sent back
to the senate for concurrence'in. min
or amendments, the resolution by
Senator Wells, delaying the maxi
mum penalties on delinquent taxes
until after June 1. A motion to re-
commit the resolution in the house
was lost 49 to Al.
Representative Belser, of Sumter,
led the fight against the bill, declar-
ing that it's enactment would weaken
the states credit and make the world
believe the state "broke" when 1t is
not. He cited figures to show that
the states resources are enormous
and there is no reason for 'uch ex-
treme talk of money scarcity.

LONG FEUD ENDS.
Judges Words Break Barrier Be
tween Mountaineers.

Members of the Benge-Martin feud
factions, seventy-five of whom made
peace and shook hands in the circuit
court room in Manchester, KY, last
week, returned to their home shortly
afterward. Dread lest their homes be
burned or riddled with bullets during
the darkness was gone from the
hearts of many mountaineers.
Peace came Unexpectedly at the
close of four-day hearing on peace
bonds, more than one hundred Of the
clansmen having been summoned into
court, while fifty National Guardsmen
were on duty in and around the court
house. Judge Hiram Johnson, after
placing forty-six of the men under
bonds ranging from $500 to $4,000,
lectured them, urging them ''to act
like men, shake hands and become
friendly neighbors again."
Then, almost before the spectators
could realize what was taking place,
the line in rival camps in the court
room was crossed and, following the
example set by the grey-bearded lead
ers, the feudists were clasping each
others hands and calling each other
by their first names.
The feud followed the Staying OF
Wood Benge by Steve Martin after
the men had quarreled over a shot
gun stolen from the former and sold
to the latter. Six men were killed,
sixteen persons, including two chill
dren, were shot, and more than fifty
homes shot up. On Christmas day
three men were shot to death in a
battle in which dozen participated.

OF Some Where.

For several minutes the young man
did not speak. His heart was too full
It was enough for him to know that
this glorious creature loved him;
that she had promised to be his wife
With a new and delightful sense OF
ownership he feasted his eyes upon
her beauty and realized that hence
forth it would be his privilege to pro-
vide for her welfare and happiness.
His good fortune seemed incred-
ible. Finally he whispered tenderly
''How did it happen, darling, that
such a bright, shining angel as your
self fell in love with dull, stupic
fellow like me?"
"Goodness knows" she murmered
absently. "I must have screw loos'
somewhere"

killed practically instantly about 8
o'clock this afternoon, two loads OF

Of Charles E. Taylor, in an adjoining
building. He was bleeding profusely
from an ugly wound in the chest, but
managed to request that a physician
be called. His efforts to give explana-
ton Of the tragedy resulted in only
agonized gasps. He expired within ten
or Is minutes, although three physi-
clans hastened to his side to give any
possible medical relief.
The trail of blood led to the rear
of the drug store. There two empty
shells were found, and holes had been
pierced in a screen door in the rear
of the store by the loads of shot. The
inquest will be resumed tomorrow af-
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
Following the testimony by several
witnesses, Sheriff Roof went to DR..
Harmon's home and placed him

Of boys clubs in South Carolina grew
crops and animals in 1921 valued at
$s9,565.35, according to the report
of L. I. Baker, supervising agent.

concerted value of boys club work.
The instructional and inspirational
values are inestimable.

counties in 1921 and the total MEM
bership was 26o more than in 1920.

DOWN ON CAMOUFLAGE.
Old Time Laws Held Women Under
Close Watch.


day attire endeavored to get married
in the city of Charlotte when this
place was tiny village, under the
rule of the King Of England, not only
would the brazen maiden have seen
her nuptial knots united later. but
She would have been in danger of her
life as well, Recording to a discovery
by B. F. Wellons, Charlotte attorney,
who found it in a set of ancient laws
governing all English subjects that
was enacted in 1870 and continued in
vogue for many years.
The funny thing about the whole
matter is that right here in Charlotte
there was a time when a girl who
wore high heeled shoes could be con-
victed of witchcraft! And possibly
executed! And cosmetics! Well, if
any young woman sauntered forth in
search of husband with paint on her
|. cheeks, she had to keep three jumps
ahead of the sheriff The law held
that woman is dangerous animal,
and that the male species must be
protected. It said that if any woman
caught herself spouse, she must do
it by showing herself in her true light.
She could be convicted Of sorcery il
she even allowed perfume to be on
her person when her beau called to
see her. A pair of false teeth certain
ly meant the gallows, for this was
the greatest trick to gain husband
of all time. No one thing was per-
mitted that might in any way deceive
the poor fellow who might fall in
love.
And certainly the King Of England
believed that love is blind, for he un-
reservedly allied himself with the
amorous suitors of the land and de-
clared that there was no woman alive
who could play trick on them and
get away with it. He required their
faces to be as free of powder and
paint as that of nanny goat, and
insisted that every curve in the hu-
man outline had to be the real thing
The following is the law that was
passed by his majesty as recorded in
the ancient statutes that governed
his subjects around the year 1900
and later:
"Be it hereby declared that all
women, of whatever age, rank or
profession, whether virgins, maids
or widows who shall after the pass
ing of this act impose upon and be-
tray into matrimony any Of his sub
jects by scents, paints, cosmetics,
washes, artificial teeth, false hair,
Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high
heeled shoes, or bo1stered hips, shall
incur the penalty of the laws now in
force against witchcraft and sorcery,
and such like misdemeanors, and that
the marriage, upon conviction, shall
stand null and void"
From this it is obvious that when
George Washington took the measure
of Lord CORVALLIS at Yorktown he
saved the necks of the feminine part
of his posterity. And had not more
considerate king ascended the throne
of England and later abolished the
law, the gallows would be working
overtime in England today.-Char-
lotte Observer.

American Legion Play
Gives Excellent Promise

What promises to be one of the
best staged and acted amateur theat-
rical performances in Colville for
some time will be presented at the
Colville theater on February 9th
when the American Legion will offer
A. w. Mason's screaming farce
"Green Stockings"
With an unusually talented cast
and the coaching ability of Mrs.
Louis Wernli, Colville should enjoy
a real treat.
L. A. Wernli as Colonel Smith"
and Jessie Rice as Cecilia Faraday"
have the leading roles, if they may
be designated as such, although the
whole cast is called upon to share
honors with difficult parts. John
Raftis will convince even the most
exacting critic that he is an actor as
well as a lawyer, for his work in the
rehearsals in the role of "Admiral
Grice" already proclaims him an ar
tist. C. N. Hanson as the "father of
four daughters" will be a revelation
to Colville. Mary Mantz as Evelyn"
and Esther Edlund as "Mrs. Rock
ingham" have strong roles. Ruth
Sturman as "Phyliss" and Ruby
Schwerdfield as "Mrs. Faraday" are
excellently cast for their parts. Joe
Rogers as "Robert Taver," Alb Con-
ner as "Henry Steele" Vinton Baird
as MARTINI" and Loren Baird as
"James Raleigh" are all called upon
to hold the stage in their turn and
deserve credit for their interpreta-
tion of their parts.
Special attention is being given to
the stage setting of the piece. Jack
Sperry as stage electrician, John Mil
ler as stage manager and Harry
Rice as carpenter are working out
effects which will enhance the work
of the players. 1--WE are paying par
ticular attention to the staging"
says Mrs. Wernli. "The play is an
excellent one, and the cast promises
to produce it so we'll that we can not
afford to slip up on any detail
The cast has been rehearsing for
several weeks and already has the
lines we'll in hand.
