Does York county need a "boll wee
vii expert" to be employed at a aIsalary
of $500 as the county's part. againsr
the present salary of $500 which the
county contributes toward the employ
ment of the farm demonstration agent?
Certain Rock Hill citizens answer in
the affirmative and the same citizens
have applied to the county Legislative
delegation to provide the money to en-
ploy the expert The request will be
acted upon during the week. Mean
while, however, other York county
citizens have urged the delegation to
dispense with the demonstration agent
and to refuse to employ a boil weevil
man.

"Nyhen you do" Cherry said, earn

than hGd been usual, of late, "Here~is
something to think, Peter. It's. this:

because she never-knew! 1t was

sheer madnesS-that is clear now. l
don't try to explain it, because its all
been washed away by the frightfui
thing that happened. I'm different
now; you're dliferent-I don't know
how we ever thought we could"
There was a silence during which
she looked at him anXiously, but the
expression on his face did not alter,
and he did not speak. -
And what / think we ought to be
thankful for" she resumed, rs thal
Alix would rather-she would rather
have it this way. She told me that
she would be heartbroken II there had
been any actual separation between
me and Martin, and how much worse
that would have been--what we
planned, | mean. She was spared
that, and we were spared-l see 1t
nOw-what would have ruined both our
lives. We were brought to our senses,
and the awakening only came a little
sooner than it would have come any
way"
Peter had walked to the window,
and was looking out at the shabby
winter trees that were dripping rain,
and at the beaten garden, where the
drCnched chrysanthemums had been
bowed to the soaked earth.
Here, in Dads home," Cherry said,
coming TO stand beside him, Il see
how wicked and how mad was. lp

have been too late-yOu don't know

The room was scented by the sweet,
damp flowers and by the good odor
of lazily burning logs; yet to Peter
there was chill and dcsOlatenesS in the
air. Cherry took up the glass bowl In
both careful hands, and went away in
the direction Of the study, but he stood
at the window for long time staring
duly out at the battered chrysanthe-

and to refuse to employ boil weevil

]. S. Wannamaker Of st. Matthews,
president of the American Cotton asso-
citation, painted in a speech he made in
the senate chamber few days ago a
dun-colored picture of conditions in
several states Of the Northwest which
he had recently visited. Everybody
knows" said Mr.. Wannamaker, that
South Carolina is in none too good
shape, but If conditions are bad here
they are, several times worse in the
Northwest. Out there public schools
and colleges are being closed because
the people have nothing with which to
pay their taxes. Mr. Wannamaker Is
understood to- have expressed the opin-
ion that the Republican party is in for
a severe fogging in the state and con-
gressional elections next fall.
Further evidence of the desire Of the
York county officials to cooperate with
the county's legislative delegation in
keeping down the tax levy. to. which
reference was made in the editorial
columns Of The Times a few weeks
ago, was nbted last week when Treas
urer Neil and Supervisor Brown went
to Columbia to assist the delegation in
rearranging the proposed expenditures
for the year on basis which would
preclude the necessity Of. asking the,
people to pay more taxes for the coun-
ty government. For. several years the
levy for county purposes has been 6
mills. Recently requests for additional
expenditures for roads and bridges in
dicated that it might be necessary to
increase the levy for 1922, but it can
now be stated definitely that there
will be no increase. On the contrary,
if the proposed tax of cents per gal
lon on gasoline, l cent Of which would
go to the county and the other cent to
the state, is collected there will be an
additional amount for the upkeep Of the
county roads without a corresponding
increase in the county levy.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Peter saw, with 4 sort of Stupefac
tion, that life was satisfying her now
as life had never satisfied restless, ex-
acting little Cherry before.
She spent much of her free time by
her husbands side, amusing him as
skillfully as mother. He was get
ting so popular that she had to be
ready for callers every day. Would he
like her TO keep George SewalI for
dinner, when they could play dominoes
again? Would he like the table with
the picture puzzle? He would like
just to talk? Very well; they would
talk.
Martins day was so filled and
divided with small pleasures that it
was apt to amaze him by passing too
quickly. He had special breakfasts,
he had his paper, his hair was brushed
and his bed remade q dozen times a
day. Cherry shared her mail, which

With her bare, bright head, her busy
white hands, her voice all motherly
amusement and sympathy and sweet

a wife. She had the plcasantest laugh
in the world, and she often laughed.
The sck-roOm was kept with exquisite
simplicity, with such freshness. bare

OF the amount recommended by the
governor has been Topped off the ap-

but whether the looping has been done
at places which both the house and

be seen But If the bill should be

Cherry did not answer for long
while. Then she gently disenSnged
herself from his arms, and sat erect.
Her tears were ended now, anti her
voice flrmer and Surer.
No; never againT she told him.
"Tve been thinking about it, all these
days, and I've come to see what Is
right, as ! never did before. Alix
never knew about us, Peter-and
that's been the one thing for which l
could be thankful in all this time! But
Alix had only one hope for me, and
that was that somehow Martin and l
would come to be--weli, to be nearer
to each other, and that somehow he
and would make d success Of our
marriage, would spare-well, let'p say
the family nAme, from all the disgrace
and publicity of a divorce"
But, Cherry, my childA" Peter ex-
postulated. You caunot sacrltio, all
your life to the fancy that no one else
can take your place with him"
That" she said, steadily, "is just
what must dol"
Peter looked at her for few Sec
onds without speaking.
You don't love him." he said.
NO." she admitted, gravely. 81
don't love him-not in the way you
medn."
HE is nothing to you," Peter argued.
"As a matter or fact, it never was
what a marriage should be. 1t was
always-aiways-a ahistake."
YES" she conceded, sadly, lit was
always 4 mistaken
Then there is nothing to bind you

more for Alix than for any one!
Peter looked at her III silence,
looked back at the last flicker Of the
fire.
You will change your mind after
awhilew he said.
Cherry rose from the chair, and
stood with dropped head and troubled
eyes, looking down at the flame.
mo, shall never change my
mind!" she said, in low tone that
was still strangely firm and final for
her. For five or. ten or twenty OF
thirty years l shall always be where
Martin Is, caring for him, amusing
him, making a life for him." And
Cherry raised her glorious blue eyes
in which there was a pure and an up
lifted look that Peter had never seen
there before ut is what Dad and
AliX Would have wished" she finished,
solemnly, land do it for them!"
Peter did not answer; and after a
moment she went quietly and quickly
from the room, with the new air of
quiet responsibility that she had worn
ever since the accident.

The Substantials of Life

If YOU EAT TO LIVE then / can

the grocery line-almost anything that
you might desire.
AND DID YOU EVER THINK about
it, the real substantials Of life do not
count up very fast--it doesn't take a
great deal to keep the average family
going. A sack Of flour, few pounds
Of meat, lard, meal, sugar. salt, pepper,
etc.-No, it doesn't require a big out

LEGISLATIVE NOTES
Representative Bradford Writes Of

Representative Bradford Writes Of
Happenings in the General Assembly.
(Fort Mil Times.l
A feature of the. work of the house
of representatives last week was the
passage Friday of the socalled luxury
bill, designed to raise something like
a million dollars a year for the state
treasury from the sale Of articles on
which property tax only has hereto
fore been paid. The total income of
r venue the bill will produce, however,
should it pass the senate in it's present
form and then be approved by the gov
ernor, is speculative. Nobody, not even
the federal collector of internal reve-
nue., Mr. Bradley, who was called in
for consultation by the committe which
reported the bill, could do more than
guess how much money it would bring
in If no material changes are made in
the bill and it is enforced with a de-
gree Of strictness which marked the
enforcement of the national luXuries
law, one Is safe in concluding that it
will have n decided effect upon the old
system Of raising practically all the tax
money for the state upon real property.
On a motion in the house. Thursday
night to. continue the bill, which meant
to Kill It, the opponents Of the meas
ure lost; but when the bill was again
taken up Friday morning the steam
roller which the ways and means COM
mittee had used so successfully the
night before had fallen into the hands
of the opposition and they did some ef-
fective steam rollering on their own
account by inserting in the bill the fol-
lowing additional articles on which it
is proposed to collect the luxury tax.
Candy, costing more than so cents n
pound cents per pound; playing
cards or dice, 5 cents for each deck or
set; perfumes, cologne or toilet water,
5 cents for each sale; chewing gum,
cent per package. The original bill
provided for a luxury tax only on
chewing tobacco, cigars, cigarettes,
smoking tobacco, snuff, gun shells,
pistol cartridges, fruit juices used in
the manufacture of soft drinks and
fountain syrups.

CANE Where Indians Had Gathered
Munitions Found in Cave in
Wayne County, Kentucky.

Rurs Of what once was a flourish

In cave II miles east Of Mil Springs,
In wayne county, Kentucky. In the
opinion OF Prof. A. VI. Miller. head of
the department Of geology at tile Uri-

This factory" according TO Pro-
fessar Miller, produced arrow heads to
tip the shafts of Indian braves whose
no mans land. in the days before the
squirrel rifle supplanted the bow, was
kchWcky.
Professor Miller returned recently
from n trip to Wayne county. where he
prospected for caves, rockhouSes and
old Indian village sites, favorable
ground for the finding of extinct mann
maian remains.

examined" he said. an one Of these,
about fourteen miles east of Mill
Springs, numerous arrow heads in vari.

tered at n shallow depth over the floor.
furnishing evidence that this shelter
formerly was an arrow head workshop

The other rockhouSe also gave evi.
dence of having been a popular resort
Of the aborlgineS. Human bones found
In the cave lead to the belief that ii
had been used as a burial place.

the rough road, dragging along the
body of one OK, killed by the lions,
with the swaying wagon behind them.
The lions followed their prey.

almost an unconscious movement that
took his hand to the horn button At
the first sound the lions seemed nom

the frightened animals the lions skunk

swung clear of the dust-covered auto
mobile and came TO stop ut the side
