Balloting For Pope
Early Next Month

Rome. Jan. % tBy the Associated
Press THE interment Of Bene-
dict XIV has been tentatively fixed
for Wednesday afternoon. The
BODY will lie in state in the basilica
Of st. Peters only day and a half
more, according to the present
plans. Benedict's wish not to be
embalnned necessitates departure
from the custom that the pope's
body lie in state for three days.
Final decision will be taken on
this question Wednesday morning
but the present view Of vatican is
that it will be impossible to keep
the body exposed Beyond Wednes-
day afternoon. The statement also
was made tonight. but not official
iy. that the coffin would be closed
within few hours and that thus
the usual ceremony of filing past.
kissing the uncovered foot of the
dead pope. would be eliminated.
The removal of the body from
the throne room 20 the basiliea. tins
morning was the occasion of an
Imposing ceremony. The bier was
held shoulder high by ushers clad
in costumes of. scarlet, fianked by
noble guards. The sacred college
followed, headed by. the dean.
Cardinal yannutelli. each taking
his position according to rank.
Cardinal Gasparri walked con-
siderable distance behind the dean,
although occupying the. post Of
cameralinge or head of the Roman
church during the interregnum.
Public Views Body. 7
On entering the maia door OF
ST. Peters the funeral party was
received by the clergy, who escorted
the cortege down the. main central
aisle to position in the center of
tho church j,ist opposite the statue
of st peter. There .absolution took
place. The 3ier was then raised
aloft and Was passed into the
chapel of the Holy Sacrament
where the public can view the body
through the immense iron gates.

Issue Discussed
Leading Merchants and Busi-
ness Men Present Their
Views

Dillon. Jan. pa large num-
Der Of the leading merchants and
! business men of the county met
! here today for the purpose OF dis
! cilSSinS the income tax issue which
] is now up before the general as
sembly Tor legislation. J. II. Man
ming, former state senator. was
chosen chairman. and l.. Cotting-
ham, secretary OF the meeting. y.
+ e. Jordan read a letter from tlle
secretary of the South Carolina
T! Taxpayers association which eX-
! planned the views of the associa-
| ton on the subject There was
considerable discussion Of the ip-
come tax measure from the view
point of the farmer and business
man. DR.. Wade Stackhouse in
troduced the following resolutions:
"Resolved. That it be recon-
nended to the Dillon delegation
and to the general assembly that
an income tax OF, not more than 10
per cent. of the federal income tax
be. levied by the state and that this
tax be ascertained from the federal
income tax reports. and that the
1evying. of this tax not be made
retroactive.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Mr.. Manning surrendered the
chair and after. a spirited address
upon the seXIravagances of the diff
ferent departments of the state
government offered the following
resolution. which was adopted:
sResolved. That it is the sense of
this meeting that the seneral>as-
sembly. cut expenses Of the state
government in every way possible,
! p. L. Bethca. state senator was
present and expressed himself in
accord with the meeting on the in
come tax issue. Mr.. Bethea warm
!ly defended the work Of the state
highway department which had
come in for criticism.
rflc question of deferrinG the
payment of county and state taxes
was discussed in this county. 1t
is practically certain that if the
Irpayment Of the taNes IS deferred.
the public schools will have to
close down before the school year
is out. On this question sentiment
was divided. Senator Bethca. when
called upon. said that due to much
sympathy for the taxpayers, he
felt that the time for hc payment
of taxes should be extended, but for
how long he could not say definite
lf.
JUST before the close OF the meet
ing, L. a.. Manning. Jr.. Of Latta
| offered the following resolution
which was adopted:
BE it resolved. That the general
assembly be urged in so far as pos
sible to do away with levies on
general property for state pur-
poses
The consensus Of opinion OF the
meeting was. that it is going to take
some time to work out the tax
question so as to do away with the
many inequalities Of the present
system.

Colleges Should
Net Be Crowded
Says DR.. Shanklin, President
Of Wesleyan College

Middleton. Conn.,. Jan. 22.-Tbc
Limitation of. the size Of the under
graduate body, the problem. of
which was unique in collegiate
circles when Wesleyan University
set herself to solving it six years
ago. has today become conrmon TO
many colleges and universities.
When Dr.. William Arnold Shan
kiln was installed president OF
Wesleyan II years age he stated
that the college would hold its en-
rollment as nearly as possible to
500 men: that she did mot claim
TO teach all things to all men, nut
that her task was to teach the es-
sential things to a small group Of
resoIute and weil-prepared stu
dents. Three years ago. Wesleyan S
enrolment suddenly jumped from
500 to 500 men. At that time the
president and the faculty request
ea the trustees to impose the 500
limit. This was done. and the size
of the student body has been
steadily reduced to near this num-
Der.
TT is desirable that college
should have. as many students as
its physical facilities and its in
structional staff can properly care
for. Beyond that point new stu
dents are liability and not an as
set. said DIR. Shanklin. I'VE are
resolved not to yield to the craze
for numbers. Wesleyan does .-e.s
want more students, but desires to
do work unequalled for those whom
She, does admit. Only iS1 fresil-
men were admitted lasI fall. ana
these were carefully selected fron1
more than three times as ,nany
applicants. With 525 undersr:id-
yates and SIS faculty members. at
rrese MT. there is faculG:: advisor
for every group o. 10 students.
