No SaucerS.

Seenob was very fastidious, but he
was also a very hungry man, when
at l O'Clock one day he found him
self in an unknown town in which
only one rather cheap-looking res
taurant was to be found.
The call of the inner man was not
to be denied, so he pushed open the
swing doors and entered. 1t was a
rough, illsmelling place, but he
thought he could manage to get
down a cup of coffee and something
to eat.
The waitress brought the coffee in
a thick, heavy cup.
"Where is the saucer?' inquired
our fatidious friend.
"We don't give no saucers here" D."
replied the girl. "If we did, some
illbred ignoramus would come blow
in in and drink out of his saucer,
and we'd lose a lot of our most
swagger trade!"

OUR GIRLS ARE ALL RIGHT.
"What Are They Coming To?" is No
New Cry.

Girls have a way of alarming their
elders. What are they coming to?
has been the cry for ages. The Moab
ite ladies, observing Ruth chatting
with a young man just arrived from
Bethlehem, probably voted that she
was bold creature.
A piper from Scotland, after look
ing at the modern girls costume, de-
clared that the lassies were harder
than the killed Highlander.
What's to be done about it all?
Nothing, except whatever the parents
of the girls decide to do. All the
outbursts Of associations and boards
of education will not accomplish any
thing.
Bobbed hair is a feeting phase.
The girls will abandon it when they
see how plain it makes them. The
shimmy dance is already passing into
the discard.
Short skirts are here and probably
will stay. So far as modesty is con-
cerned, girl in short skirt can be
as modest as one with a long gown.
If the girls can stand short skirts in
this weather they must really like
them. And there Is even greater
proof that they have adopted them
for good.-New York Herald.

DISCUSSION OF PECAN.
hees Institute.
Tuskegee Professor Speaks at Voor-

Denmark, Feb. 27.-Large crowds
attended the annual farmers confer
ence at Voorhees, institute, Denmark.
The main attraction was a speech by
Prof. George w. Carver, Of the Tus-
kegee institute, Alabama. Professor
Carver has just completed tour Of
North Carolina under the direction of
the North Carolina state department
of agriculture. He spoke on the
sweet potato and the peanut as two
of the great money crops of the
south. At the Denmark meeting he
spoke on Another Great Money Crop
of the South-the Pecan" He pointed
out the advantages and benefits to be
derived from pecan growing, stating
that South Carolina soil is well adapt
ed to the pecan, after which he exhib-
tied some 80 or more products which
he has recently developed from the
pecan, including the hull and shell.
He exhibited oils, candies, meal, but
ter, tapioca, dyestuffs, ink, sauce,
soap, fertilizer stock feed relish and
other products prepared in his lab
oratory at Tuskegee institute. He en-
phasized the fact that the potato, the
peanut and the pecan, if properly cul-
tivated and developed will revolution
ize agricultural conditions in the
south. A number of white citizens
made remarks, all of whom commend.
ed Voorhees, for the splendid work
which it is doing for the farmers of
that community, and with one accord
they indorsed DR.. Carvers address.
Among those to speak were Pastor
Frier of the Baptist church, Pastor
Virgins Of the Methodist church,
Captain Guess, Messrs Gooisby and
Garris.

Young Man of North Claims to Have
Invention.

North, Feb. 24.-F. Marion Smith,
young business man of North, has
just completed an invention which
will be appreciated and welcomed by
smokers of cigarettes and cigars.

each cigarette and cigar, eliminating
entirely the use of matches for cigar
cites or cigars equipped with this at
tachment.
The cost of manufacture will be

Dorchester Man Shot
On Public Highway

St. George, Feb. 26.-John A. Pat
rick, while returning to his home
from country store short distance
away, was shot and dangerously
wounded about o'clock last night,
and Willie Carr was placed under ar
rest by Deputy Sheriff Platt early
this morning.
Sheriff Limehouse hastened to the
scene of the crime as soon as the
news reached him. The sheriff and
his deputies with scores of citizens
spent the entire night in determdn-
ed effort to make an arrest. The
bloodhounds from the county chain
gang were used. Carr was arrested
in St. George early this morning
without the aid of the dogs. He is
said to have expressed himself as
having determined to give up.
Mr.. Patrick, whose home is on the
Wire road, about five miles from st.
George, was returning from the store.
He was walking with his overcoat
thrown across his shoulders and car
ried a package. He was shot just as
he reached dark spot, his assailant
having concealed himself in clump
of trees. 1t is estimated that 5he
men were about 80 feet apart when
the shot was fired and the load took
effect in the abdomen, one of the
hands of the wounded man being in
jured also.
The wounded man was only short
distance from his home, and his cries
attracted members of his familys who
rushed to his assistance. Medical aid
was hastily summoned, and he was
taken to a hospital in Charleston
early this morning, where an opera
ton was performed. Last reports
from his bedside were to the effect
that, although the operation had been
performed, his condition remained
extremely serious.
The young man charged with the
crime is about 21 years of age and
is unmarried. When questioned In
the county Jail this morning, he ad-
mitted his guilt. He added that Pat
rick had accused him of destroying
a boat. A couple of times recently
some of Mr.. Patrick's property has
been destroyed by fire, but the young
man, stoutly denies that he was re-
sponsible for either of these fires.
Mr.. Patrick is about 40 years old,
is married and has several children.
He is widely connected and is gen.
orally regarded is a peaceable, law
abiding citizen. Young Carr comes
of an excellent family and the unfor-
tunate affair has created intense in
terest in Dorchester county.

Two Women Slain
in GreenuiUe Home

Greenville, Feb. 25.-Bringing to
a tragic elimination alleged family
troubles extending over long period,
jeff Chandler, 35 year old carpen-
ter, this afternoon at 5:35 O'Clock
shot and instantly killed his wife,
Mrs Theodus Bramlett Chandler, 81
years old, and his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Rosie J. Bramlett, 6S, in their
home on the second floor over Cox's
grocery store here. From Colts
.3S automatic he fred six shots, all
of which found their respective ways
into the hearts of the mother and
daughter. In the same room two ter
rified children, a; girl of four and a
boy of six, saw their father kill their
mother and grandmother.
The father, according to an eye
witness, Mrs. w. H. Bramlett, sister
of the dead wife, then walked into
the hall and turned to see his little
girl standing by the chair in which
her dead mother sat, weeping and
crying, Mother, mother" The ia
ther called to the children to come
to him, but they remained in the
room. He then turned to descend
the steps to the street below, there
to be met by four city policemen who
placed him in the county jail.
At the Jail, when told that the
two women were dead, Chandler
broke into tears and talked little.
Statements made to officers indicated
that he and his wife had disagreed
often lately and that they had been
separated at times. Policemen state
hat the wife and mother few weeks
ago told them that Chandler had
made threats against their lives.

School Bond Issue
Approved BY Citizens


issuance of bonds for building $780,
900 school house at Cope by a vote
of about three to one at meeting
of the trustees, patrons and taxpay-
ers of school district No. Al and those
of district No. 46 recently taken in
to No. Al, held in the school house
at Cope Thursday night.
Opposition to the bond issue at
the present time developed, but only
IA voted for postponement of the is
sue, while big majority voted for
the issue. The meeting was called
for the express purpose of ascertain
ing what the citizens of the section
thought of the bond issue for the
purpose mentioned.
On the occasion Prof. A. j. Thack-
ston, superintendent Of the Orange
burg city schools, talked of the need
of higher and better education and
it's beneficial results. D. l.. Lewis,
supervisor of rural graded schools,
spoke on the benefits of better school
buildings, better equipped and better
teachers. w. A. Schifley, county su-
perintendent of education of Orange
burg county, spoke on the approxi-
mate cost of taxation and the like.
The next speaker was W. o. Ia
tum, of Cope, who spoke in oppoosi-
tion to all that had been said up to
this time, saying that it was not that
he was opposed to better schools and
higher education and other things
mentioned, but it was because he
thought the time for such move
ment was inopportune on account of
the condition Of affairs and the al
ready high taxes. Mr.. Tatum pre-
sented a resolution to this effect:
That we oppose a bond issue and
the building of new school house
until a later date, and asked that
the resolution be recorded.
Mr.. Tatum said that he had always
been looked upon as peace maker,
but that if the bond issue was put
on he feared it would create divis-
ion among the people and that "a
house divided against itself would
surely fall"
The chairman, J. Fischer Cleck-
ley, presented the resolution and ask
ed that all in favor of postponement
rise and IA stood up. Calling for
those in favor of the issue and build
ing as soon as possible, there was a
majority of two or three to one in
favor of the bond issue, thereby the
resolution was lost.
F. E. Cope, J. Fischer Cleckley and
others differed with Mr.. Tatum as to
a division being made, saying that
they thought the people of Cope too
to fall out about such
a thing.
Several citizens had something to
say pro and con and created quite a
lot of merriment and laughter at
times.

Refuses to Sign Tax
Extension Resolution

Columbia, Feb. 2S.-Goy. Cooper
last night returned to the selate,
without his signature, the Wells Joint
resolution to extend tie time :Or the
payment of state ano county taxes
until June l, 1922. In his message
returning the resolution the gover-
nor said that he felt that the reso-
luton would materially hurt the
states credit and not afford tbs re-
ief that those who supported the 7eso-
tion thought it would.
The state now has s1,500,000 in
outstanding notes to meet and only
100000 to pay the notes, the gov
ernor said in his message. "!f this
joint resolution becomes law it is my
opinion that the credit of the state
will be impaired" he said.
The governor says the section pro-
viding that all persons who pay their
taxes within the time given in the
resolution shall be construed as hav-
ing paid their taxes within the time
prescribed by law and shall be eligible
to: vote in any general election is un-
constitutional.
May Extend Anyway.
Under the law at present the comp
troller general has the power to ex-
tend the time for paying taxes with
out penalty, with the approval of the
governor, and the governor says he
has conferred with the comptroller
general and that the comptroller gen.
eral informed him that he would ex-
tend the time until April 1, 1922.
1t was understood last week that the
chief executive would veto the meas
ure, and last night he returned the
resolution to the senate, where it orig
mated, without his approval.
Due to the absence of so many sena-
tors the vetoing message was held
over until today, no action being TAX
en-
1t is not known what disposition
the senate will make of the message
as when the resolution was passed
there was not a dissenting vote
against it. However, the house is
pretty we'll equally divided and should
the senate go over the governors
head the lower body may refuse to do
80.

County Supply Bill for
Bamberg County for 1922

The Bamberg delegation 10 tne
general assembly have agreed upon
the county supply bill, which has been
introduced, passed by the house and
is now in the senate and will prooa-
hly be enacted into law this week.
The county tax levy is fixed at mot
exceeding seven mills" the exact levy
30 be determined when the tax re-
turns are fully Investigated. If the
returns are made on practically the
same basis as heretofore, the levy will
probably be six and one-half mills, a
resuetion of one mill from the levy
OF last year.
A few of the county expense items
were pared, although there was not
much room for pairing in this county.
the levy of which is one of the lowest
OF any of the counties in the state,
due largely to the fact that the county
has no bonded Indebtedness on which
10 pay interest, while the appropria-
tion for the home and farm demon
stration agents was reduced slightly.
The two mill levy is again included
in the supply bill for constructing
roads in connection with federal aid,
and the county commissioners are
empowered to borrow funds tempor-
arily to meet the demands Of road
construction, where sufficient funds
are not at the moment available.
The following is the text OF the
supply bill as agreed to:
i. A Bill to provide for the levy OF
taxes in Bamberg county, for county
and school purposes, for the year
1922, and for the expenditure thereof.
Be it enacted by the general assem-
bly, of the state of South Carolina:

ing seven (7) mills, to be determined

1922. for the amounts and purposes
herein stated, respectively.

Drafting Plans for New
Dorn1itory at Carlisle School

Plans for the erection of Carlisle's
new dormitory are fast taking definite
form, and at an early date the sound
of hammer and saw and the clink of
the ;bricklayer's trowel will be heard
on the campus.
Several meetings of the board of
control of Carlisle school have been
held recently looking to the erection
of a dormitory to take the place Of
the H. J. Brabham hall, destroyed by
fire a few weeks ago. A building
committee has been named Of the
board members, this committee being
composed of the following: H. c.
Folk, chairman; John H. Cope, W.
D. Rhoad, A. w. Knight, and Rev. s.
O. Cantey, with Col. w. C. Duncan
as secretary.
The building committee has been
actively engaged for some days past
in going over the matter thoroughly.
A tour of inspection of dormitory
buildings were rectnly made in the
Pee Dee section of the state, and
valuable information was secured on
this trip.
Monday night a meeting was held
and the contract for the drafting Of
the plans was awarded to the firm
of LaFaye & LaFaye, of Columbia,
architects and engineers George F.,
LaFaye, senior member of the firm,
was present at the meeting, and con-
ferred with the school authorities in
regard to the plans for improvement
of the school campus.
The architects were authorized to
proceed at once with the drafting of
the plans, and Mr.. LaFaye promises
to complete the work at the earliest
possible date. 1t is stated that the
work entrusted to the architects in
cludes a plan for the general i'm
provement of the school campus. That
is, the work to be undertaken this
summer will fit in with the general
plan of enlargement Of the school,
although it is not contemplated that
any work will be done this year other
than the erection of one dormitory.
Other improvements will be undertak-
en- in the course of time as necessity
arises. All work hereafter will be
done with a definite idea in view Of
coinciding with the general plans to
be drafted by LeFaye & LaFaye,
which will be in possession Of the
school authorities.
Every effort will be made to start
the work of construction in time to
complete the dormitory for the open
ing of the next school term, and once
begun the work of erecting the build
ing will be pushed rapidly. The gen.
eral idea of the new dormitory is to
build it of sufficient size to accommo-
date about 120 cadets.
In this connection it may be stated
that the local campaign inaugurated
by the citizens Of Bamberg last year,
which was called off on account OF
the stress of the times, will be revived
as soon as definite plans are submit
ted by the architects. The idea OF
this campaign, when instituted, was
to raise considerable sum of money
to augment the fund Carlisle will re-
ceive from the Christian education
campaign of the Southern Methodist
church. The amount to be raised in
the coming campaign, the method OF
payment and other details, will be
definitely decided on later.
