DAY OF BUSINESS
In LOWER HOUSE
HEAVY VOLUME OF WORK
TRANSACTED THURSDAY
Bill to Abolish State Highway
Commission Introduced-To
Ban Carnivals
The State, 27.

The State, 27.
The mills of the general assembly
oftentimes grind exceeding fine and
upon occasions grind exceeding fast.
Such was the case of the house yes
terday, an immense volume of work
being accomplished at the single ses-
sion during the morning, the only hes
itation in the "unperturbed pace" OF
the consideration of bills, new and
old, coming in the debate of the food
label measure of Representative 3. ?.
Carey of Charleston and on the joint
resolution of Representative }. y.
Sheppard of Edgeleld to rsdace the
numbers of jurors required to reach
vedicts in civil cases. Measures OF
statewide and bills of local impor-
tance-among them the shree new
revenue bills-were taken up and
passed or killed with deliberate
speed" and little if any debate.
| The Richland delegation bill, pre-
venting public service corporations
from denying service to patron in
case of dispute over charges de-
manded and providing for the inves-
tigation of the true charge, was also
among the number of measures agreed
to on third reading without debate
and sent to the senate. This bill,
which was thoroughly discussed N the
house on second reading Wednesday,
provides that in the event any dispute
should arise between an individual
consumer and any public service cor
poratio or company over the amount
of bill for gas, water or electricity
the consumer may appeal to the
courts. The measure would also re-
quire the public service company to
continue its service uninterrupted to
the consumer during the investigation
of the charge.
Jury Bill Killed
The days most extensive debate
, came en- the bill to require the agree
ment of only three-fourths Of grand
and petit jurors in the trial of civil
cases in the state, the bill being de-
, feated by vote of 48 to 33. The
measure was taken up as special or
! der, debate on the question having
oeen adjourned from Wednesdays
session. AS practically all speakers
heard at the session Wednesday were
in favor of the measure so the debate
yesterday was the negatives day, the
successful attack on the measure be-
ing led by D. B. Peurifoy of Walter
boro. Other representatives, speak
ing in opposition to the bill were: W.
R. Bradford of York, A. G. Kennedy
+ Of Union and w. J. Gibson of Spar
tsntarg. J. o. Sheppard of Edgeleld
the author of the bill, was the only
speaker heard in favor of the meas
ure. The bill was killed on the mo-
tion of J. w. Hanahan of Winnaooro
to strike Gu; the enacting words.
Considerable argument was also oc-
casoned over the bill to reuqire all
persons, firms or corporations engaged
in business Of canning, packing, pick
ing, preserving, boxing or in any way
preparing any food for sale and ship
rment to stamp, brand and label the
package, "South Carolina Product"
The bill, of which Representative B.
P. Carey of Charleston is the author,
would also order the food Inspector
to regularly inspect these foodstuffs
to guarantee the enforcement Of the
measure.

The buildings cleanliness and the personal pride of the students In their appearance.
 Studious quietude.
 Lack of loud talking
 Courtesy
 Getting to class room without bois-
 Everybody attending to his own business.
 All of which sounds mighty strange for a big school body like that; but 1t all comes about on account of two reasons.
 One is that the students govern themselves; approve their own rulesJ
 And the other is that their princi- pal is a man of ideals. and his teach CTS. and the School Improvement as- sociation. labor in every way to help him make it success. The princi pal Is William J. Baird.
 Lots of Room
 If you went out some day. you'd not only have the pleasure of breath ing tons of good ozone, but you'd be sorry you were too old to carry a school satchel For in peaceful land scapy surroundings such as the school has, anybody could concentrate and learn.
 No modern improvement is lacking in the building, with the exception of gas, but the domestic science stu dents don't miss this. For. ranged along the wall. are numerous little oil stoves which set dainty cookery bubbling right now. From them, the day I went out I received hot cocoa, delicious sandwiches, potato chips and cake. Had I gone on other 'vegeta- ble days" I would have been the star | owner of a bowl of soup and things like turnips peas, cabbage, spinach or a whole galaxy of garden things vegetarians would delight in. Cunning Party
 The school thus varies the diet each day.
 It was not only to see the school went. but to be present at one of the cunningest parties that could possi- bly, be. For 1t was the regular monthly meeting of the Parent Teachers association. and the domes- tic science department was acting as hostess to the 75 women of the or ganization attending. They came from everywhere within a radius Of many miles, to sit on the floor at a quaint little Japanese tea. This was a veritable surprise, since each do- mestic girl had been cautioned not to breathe the plans to soul. So, when each guest was suddenly con- frontedi with quaint little Japanese miss, dressed in kimona style with ribbons flying. there was nothing to do but go right along and sit slap

 I looked at Tommy in surprise. He had never said any of these things to me. He had the grace to color little.
 l Don't worry, Miss Winston. I un- derstand your friend. His talk is l just the brand of conversation they pass out in Los Angeles. It doesn't mean anything on the part Of the man and the girl takes 1t for what 1t is worth"

 Already Crowded
 II Is necessary to utilize the school auditorium for q study room because already the building Is crowded, re- | ceiving students from those districts PInson, New Castle Tnglenook Bar ton, springdale, Huffman, East Bir- mingham, Sayreton, North Birming ham, Lewisburg and Gardendale.

This ts the reason order is 30 excellent MT Baird, the principal is wonderful leader and has much enlarged the scope of the school work. The stu dents council is elected by the pupils and Is composed of representatives from each room. It meets once a month.
 High Credit
 The Jefferson high is the only county high school In the state that receives credit for it's physical train ing Both boys and girls give two full periods a week to such training regardless of weather conditions Their splendid physical director, ], H. Bryan has built up dandy basket ball team which won from all the girl teams in high schools through out the Birmingham district last sea son.
 MT. Baird has also worked out a very fine study plan which lays stress on good work done throughout the season, rather than upon final eXami % nations. He impresses the pupils with this fact We don't grade you. You , grade yourself"
 He made striking address to the Parent-Teachers association, in which he declared:
 We ask your co-operatlon-yo oui criticism. We believe we have one of the best schools in the state, but we are not satisfied. People who be- come satisfied stagnate"
 To Improve Grounds
 He Is stressing the enlargement of the library and the beautifying of the school grounds. The latter will be done by the Parent Teachers asso- citation and will not be hap-hazard but carried out under the guidance of a regular landscape gardener. Mrs. B. B. Walker makes a most enthusiastic and efficient president for the association and 1t Is wonder ful, even on rainy days, how women will ride miles to get to the monthly meetings. To their last assemblage they brought a perfect shower of kitchen utensils for the dom tic science department.

 Look here, Tommy Warner. What do you think I should do under the circumstances? My money was all gone."
 You could borrow more from me, couldn't you," Tommy grinned.
 ''No. sir. That is just what I couldn't do. The last thing Aunt Virginia told me was not to put myself under money obligations to any man."
