Boy Scouts VIII Celebrate Their 18th
Anniversary.

This Anniversary of the Boy Scouts
Uf America Is unique. 1t Is the
twelfth. and that Is the minimum age
at which boys may join the Nov
ment as tenderfoot scouts. SO the
Movement itself is a tentsTfoot
Every Scouting community has its
program though they are not all alike
But all of them will include the sol
emn reaffirmation of the Oath and
Law by every scout. where possible
at o'clock on the evening of We'd
nesday, February Sth, the Birthday OF
the Movement. This annual ceremony
will take place at troop meetings OF
at public meetings, whatever local
authorities arrange. 1t will be a
nationwide observance of the opening
of Anniversary Week. Every scout
will be attired in the uniform of Ills
troop, looking his best, and with his
face set toward high achievement in
Scouting in the year ahead. .'
There will be Father and Son Ban
quets. every scout inviting his dad or
nearest male relative. This is a
favorite custom in Scouting. 1t has
oroL sht many fathers into better
understanding Of their boys and a
closer intimacy with them. Sometime
the banquet" is prepared by the
scouts. IN good camp fashion. The
constitution of the Boy Scouts OF
America requires that Anniversary
Week shall always include February
9Th and February 18th. The Move
ment is nothing If not patriotic, and
in every way the leaders keep alive
the memory Of Americas great men,
Sunday, February 18th, is Scout
Sunday, another fixed feature OF
Anniversary Week. Scout sermons
are the rule in churches. Scouting
has a place in the Sunday School pro-
gram. Another feature inseparable
from Anniversary Week is civic
Good Turn of some character, and
faithful attention to the Daily Good
Turn.
One day in Anniversary Week is
set aside for presentation of Scouting
In schools. and most school authori-
ties are heartily in sympathy with
the idea. A quite unusual feature will
distinguish Anniversary Week this
year throughout the country. il being
hoped that the mayor in every scout
town and city will publicly subscribe
to the Oath and Law and be received
into the organization as an Honorary
Tenderfoot Scout. In capital cities
Governors will do this.

WANNAMAKER'S
WEEKLY LETTER
January 2S. 1922.
Editor Cheraw Chronicle,
Cheraw, S. C.

|
Cheraw, S. C.
Dear Sir:
Among the matters of interest be-
fore the Legislature are the new reve-
nue. measures the extension Of T
time for payment Of taxes, extension
of the time for the operation of the
stock law in the lower part of the
state and various other proposals con-
cerning bad checks, use Of steel traps,
hours of labor in certain industries.
twelve instead of six months time for
redemption in case of tax sales, inter
est rate, Highway Department, dog
! license, and in fact proposals cover
ing almost everything and affecting
every person in the state.
The House passed and sent to the
Senate during the past week three
measures designed to tighten the tax
levy and to further distribute the bur
den of taxation, to wit: increased Ii
and increased license fees on foreign
corporations, nonresident persons,
firms or co-partnerships for admission
to do business in this state, and the
hydro-electric tax which imposes a
tax of one-third of a mill, for each Kill
owatt hour Of electric power produc-
ed by water-power within the state =,
of South Carolina.
There remains for consideration OF
the House, probably Tuesday, the lux
ury tax bill which imposes tax on
certain articles Of consumption as
soft drinks, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco
snuff, small arms ammunition, motor
vehicles, ETC., and imposes a tax on
admissions paid to amussments, en-
tertainments, contests, places OF in
terest etc. charged for an individual
or firm profit o., course, and exclusive
of religious and such like institutions.
The above mentioned se-called lux
ury tax, if passed by both House and
Senate and approved by the Governor,
would largely be collected by the sale
of stamps to be placed on the article.
IT would necessitate inspection from
time to time by agents Of the tax COM
mission. 1t has certain nuisance fea-
lures which are Objectionable. The
passage Of the present bill through
both House and Senate is not all GER
tain so far as l am able to judge.
have been told that the proposed tax
will require such time and energy Of
the retailer as will exceed in value the
actual cash value return from the con-
sumers to the State, thereby imposing
burden not only on the consumer
but also on the retailer. While non
committal as yet, | am inclined 10 op-
posed to many features OF 1t.
| understand that the proposed con-
stitutional amendment regarding the
tax levy is not certain of passage by
both the House and senate. A tWo-
thirds vote for-it is necessary in both
bodies. Maybe an amendment which
does not give the Legislature unlimit-
ed power, but which does take off
present restrictions will be adopted
and presented to the people next
summer
The inheritance tax bill has passed
the Senate with amendments, and it
is believed that the gasoline tax bill
will pass the Senate within the next
few days.
Trusting the above matters are or
interest to our people, am,
Yours very truly,
L. C. WANNAMAKER.

| GRAVES IN ST.
DAVID'S CEMETERY
Near the walk between the gate
and the church is the grave of
William Dewitt Evans
Born July 1S49
Died April 1913


Died April 1913
He was the first chairman Of the
Railroad Commission. of South Caro-
lima and a trustee of Clemson College
He served in the Senate, as mayor Of
Cheraw and President Of the Board
of Trade. 1t was largely through hie
efforts that the River Lane between
the Bridge and Cross Roads was built
under government supervision. Up tc
that time it was one of the worst piec-
es of road in the state.
Many years ago the state got q
large revenue for royalty on the
phosphate rock mined from the beds
Of the rivers in the lower part of the
state. This state then produced most
of the phosphate rock in America.
A New York syndicate made prop
sition to South Carolina to buy the
exclusive rights to mining this rock
A committee was appointed to deal
with them, Mr.. Evans was chairman
of the committee. He named a price
of six million dollars, that being the
bonded debt of the state and his idea
was to take the money and pay up the
state debt.
The syndicate put up q large certi-
fed check, while the committee re-
ported to the senate their trade for
confirmation. For some reason the
senate refused to confirm II SO the
deal was off. The very next year
phosphates were discovered in Florida
and Tennessee, where 1t could be min
ed cheaper and was a higher grade.
Consequently the sale OF phosphate
rock In this state began slumping.
Now mining Of the rock in South Caro-
lima has almost ceased and the sta
gets practically nothing from that
source. If Mr.. Evans could have car
ried his point the state would have
been six million dollars better off.
Only two of his sons reside here
now, Frank =. and Thos. S. Evans.
