Intelligence above the 14-ycar-old
levels means the possession Of con-

Wilmer declared
Take, for example, test we used

and a five pint bucket. She told him
to bring her back exactly seven pints
of water without guessing at the

in his head, the intelligent man will be
able to use his imagination to get

Intelligence is, after all, only one
phase of personality. The most widely
used rating scales grade man on five
points, such as character, physique
etc. Intelligence is only one of the five.
The very fact that the world moves

that individuals and nations get by
with such intelligence as they possess

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS

- The supreme court on Friday
handed down a per curtain order deny
ing the petition of the Santce mills, the
WinnsbOro mills, the Pacific mills and
tic Union Buffalo mills for an inJunc-
ton To prevent the tax commlsslon
from enforcing the provisions OF the
state income tax act on tEc pHllnllH
mills. The temporary restraining ufGcr
granted several days ago was vacated
IN the order of the court and the petl-
ton for Il permanent injunction was
denied. A full opinion giving the con-
chIsions of the court has been prepar-
ed and will bc filed within the next few
davs, the court said. Under the terms
of the order the income tax act of the
state is made safe and no restraining
order will be granted against the tax
commission. The order, while not CIV
ing any particulars, is believed TO
mean that the court will declare the
act constitutional in its entirety. The
pllintfff mills raised so many queS-
itions of unconstitutionality that the
court will, in all likelihood, take the
act as q whole into consideration as II
applies to all persons, firms and cor
poratiors. The order of the court is
as follows: THE plaintiffs brought
action in the original jurisdiction OF
this court to cnjOin the defendants as
members of the South Carolina tax
commission from enforcing the pro-
visions of an act entitled AN act to
raise revenue for the support OF the
state government by the levy and col
lection of a tax upon income, approved
March u, 1922. The questions raised
as to the validity of the said act have
received careful consideration and an
opinion has been prepared announcing
the conclusion that the injunctive re-
lief sought by the plaintiffs must be
denied and the complaint dismissed.
This opinion will be filed as soon"as
opportunity is afforded for final re-
vision thereof. 1T is therefore order
ed and adiudged that the temporary
restraining order heretofore granted
| he. and is hereby, vacated and that
the application FOR a permanent IN
! junction be denied"
