LUXURY TAX BILL
KILLED in SENATE

BY an overwhelming vote of 80 tc
10 the senate yesterday at the day
session killed the luxuries tax bill or
motion of Senator Hamilton of Ches.
ter to strike out the enacting words.
The bill was taken up soon after
the morning session was begun and
Senator Johnston's amendments
which were offered Tuesday were
read, but action was deferred on
them. These amendments struck ou.
automobiles, perfume, cologne and a
number of other articles as we'll as
reduced the tax on all other articles
in the bill to one-half as originally
provided. They were not acted upon
however, because Of the entire meas
ure being killed.
Considerable debate was entered
into on the bill, Senators Hamilton,
Pearce and Beasley leading the fight
to kill the bill, while Senators John
stone and Jeremiah Smith pressed
for the passage of the measure.
! Senator Hamilton opened the de
bate against the bill, declaring that
"the Chicago experts" had admitted
that they had worked up the bill.
Mr.. Hamilton said South Carolina
had not reached point where such
experts" were needed to make law :
for South Carolina. Senator Hamil-
ton said these Chicago experts" had
drawn $4,000 from the state govern
ment and that one had drawn $4,000
for "loafing around the State House
from January to the last>of Febru
ary." Mr.. Hamilton said one of the
experts" had appeared before the
committee and had told the commit
tee he had worked up the details of
the bill. Senator Hamilton said he
was as good friend of the farmer as
any man, that he had been reared on
farm, his people were farmers, but
that he did not think this was good
bill for the farmers.-The State.

BRAVE RADIO MAN
LAUGHS AT DEATH

New York, March S.-The grim hu-
NOR Of wireless operator, who laugh
ed at death and slasked striking bits
Of wit into the ether as his ship, the
Norwegian steamer Grontoft, wallow-
ed ami slowly sank during mid-At-
lantic hurricane last Thursday. was
recorded on the radio log of the DAN
ish steamer Estonia, arriving today.
Each detail of the ships plight, each
call for aid, was supplemented by the
testing comment of the radio man,
whose identity is still unknown. He
talked as if he were going on lari
IN port instead of to the bottom o.
the sea. His last message, disjoint-
ed one, was series of witticisms-
with death as the butt Of the joke.
The Estonia herself, hard hit in the
10 mile gale, made valiant but un-
,uccessful effort to reach the Gron-
loft, which first sent out calls for aid
1t 10 o'clock last Thursday morning,
reporting her position as about 700
miles east of Cape Race. The Estonia
1t that time was 48 miles west of the
disabled Norwegian and stcaming in
an opposite direction Capt. Hans Jor-
senson ordered hs ship about and she
teamed toward the Grontoft.
Meanwhile Radio Operator Han.
sen engaged the operator Of the Gron-
oft III conversation. The latter sent
ut first the following, stereotvped
ronH of the seas:
God pity the poor sailors on q
night like this" Then followed Sc
ries Of "Ha, Ha."
"And say" he continued, "the old
man thinks this calm will be over by
nightfall We sure need some breeze
An hour later an urgent call for aid
was sent cut by the Gront"i, and her
operator jested again:
"Well, the steward is making sand
wiches for the Efeboata. Looks like
we are going on a picnic
Again half hour later. he sent:
"Thr old wagon has list like q
rundown heel. This is no weather for
l fellow to be out in without An um-
>rella.'
Hold on" returned the Estonia's
wireless. Well be alongside soon."
The Grontoft did not reply until 40
minutes later. Then:
"We are sinking stern first. The
boats ass ssmashsd Can't hold out
any longer.
"The skipper dictated that-he
ought to know--.where did I put my
hat-sorry we can't wait for you,
pressing business elsewhere
"S-"
The Estonia's operator quoted in re-
)ly these lines:
What dam Of lances brought thee
forth,
10 jest at dawn with death ?"
But there was no answer.
Six hours after picking up the first
call from the Grontoft the Estonia
reached her reported position and.
though she cruised about for four
hours, failed to find even trace Of
wreckage.
The GrOntoft, from Galveston, New
Orleans and Norfolk, was en- route for
'.shierj. She had crew of 90.

Washington, r@h 8.--while the
fight against the 66mpsomise soldiers
bonus bilE continued today unabated,
house members on both sides Of the
question predicted privately that the
measure would ;hes passed by the
house.
Although twosthifds vote would
be required to put the bill through
under such prostitute, Republican
leaders were, dfscuSssng the question
of calling up the Easasure under a
suspension Of the aleb. This would
preclude the possi6iIsty Of amendment
and ordinarily would limit debate to

membership will be sounded out on

man Fordney Of the ways and means
committee, who viii have charge of
the bill on the floor
The next rules suspension day in
the house will be Monday, March 20.
Leaders said the army appropriation
bill would be taken up next Tuesday
ahead of the bonus bin and even if
the latter measure were not called up
under suspension :of the rules, it
probably would not be considered be. .
fore the week beginning March 80.
There was some discussion during
the day as to President Harding's at
titude with regard to the compromise
bill. Representative Mondell of Wyo-
ming, the majority leader, said he did
not think the statement made at the
White House yesterday that Mr.
Harding occupied the same position
that he did when he suggested sales
tax or postponement OF the legislation
was to be taken to mean that the ex.
ecutive was prepared to veto the
measure. S.ss
Representative Hawley of Oregon, a
Republican member of sthe ways and

had suggested 80 days delay in en-
actment of the Legislation as an alter

WILL NOT ATTEND
GENOA CONFERENCE

Washington, March 5.-Thc Amer.
lean government today declined the IN.
vitation to participate in the interna
tional economic and financial confer
ence to be held at Genoa next month
on the ground that the conference is
not primarily an economic one "but
Is rather conference of political
character in which the government OF
the United States could not helpfully
participate"
The refusal to enter the conference,
was contained in note from Secre-
tary Hughes to Ambassador Ricci of
Italy who had preented the invita-
ton on behalf of his government
which in turn was acting for the al
lied ambassadors council.
Ambassador Ricci Immediately COM
municated the text of the note to his
government.
The note stated that while the
American people We're desirous OF
suitably assisting in the recovery OF
the economic life Of Europe. the Unit
ed States government could not be un-
mindful of the clear conviction" of
the people "that they should not uu.
necessarily become involved in Euro
pean political questions"
The conviction was expressed that
all considerations of economic revival
would be futile without the establish
ment in Russia Of the essential bases
Of production outlined in the public
declaration of the American govern
ment on March 25. 1921, and urged
that adequate action" to that end
be taken on the part of 'thosc chiefly
responsible for Russia's present eco
nomic disorder
In that connection it was also point
ed out in the note that the American
government believes nothing should be
done looking to the obtaining of
economic advantages in Russia which
'woL.d impair the just opportunities
CT Others" and warning was issued
that fair and equal economic op2or-
tunity" in Russia was expected by
the United States in the intcres. of
Russia itself as well as that of all
other powers.

TELEPHONE BILL
FINALLY PASSED

A general decrease Of all telephone
rates in the state to the charges in
force January l, 1921, is carried in
the Foster telephone bill passed by
ihe senate Tuesday night and last
| night finally agreed to in it's amend
ed form by the house and ordered
enrolled for ratification. The meas
ure therefore lacks only the formal
routine Of ratification and the sigma
ture of the governor to become eff
feCtive.
The bill as originally introduced by
the house provided for scale of
minimum rates for the state, but the
house judiciary committee to which
the bill was referred substituted in.
stead measure to provide for re-
turn to the rates in force through
out the state in January 1, 1921, prior
to the last increase granted by the
state railroad commission after sew
eral months of hearings and delibera-
tion@. The senate amended the lbil
in two important particulars, pro-
viding. first, for the reinstatement of
the free interurban toll service, which
the railroad commission had elimin-
ated, ard, secondly, that the telephone
companies might, if they desire, ap-
peal to the state railroad commits
sion for any changes from the rate
schedule as provided in the bill.
These senate amer tdments were
agreed to by the house without de-
bate or opposition.
This measure in reinstating the
january, 1921, rate schedule provides
for decreases in practically every
city and town in the state, with the
exception of one, in which the COM
mission in drawing up it's new sched-
ule reduced the charges to make them
conform to the rates in the other ex-
changes of the same size in the state.
This return to the old rate schedule.
also throws in the discard the equal
ization system adopted by the rail-
road commission under which ex-
change sof similar sizes were charged
identical rates.
Governor Cooper has no indicated
his attitude on the measure.-The

In Memory of "Uncle Mack"

1t didn't make any difference about the
weather that came each day;
You could find Uncle Mack cheerful
in the same old way.
When he came to town crowd could
around him be found,
He always had a smile instead of a
frown,
For any one that met him from the
country or the town.
Now as that smile has been taken
from our midst,
Gives us warning that some day we
shall be added to that list.

Yesterday / attended the funera.
of Mr.. M. c. Gault, better known as
Moxy, who died Sunday in New Hope
church, of which he was a member,
after making brief talk in the Sun
day school. He had often said he
wanted to die serving the Lord. He
was always kind and jolly and made
many friends. He proved this by the
many friends who were there to pay
their last tribute of respect to him.
Moxy was my uncle, and I loved him
too.
We all having tasted of sorrows
bitter. cup, know how hard it is to
say fareweff- to fuved -unes. -'-.---> =.
He was taken for a purpose and for
what purpose we do not know. But
we must look to God in our sorrow
because He says blessed be they that
mourn for they shall be comforted."
We must trust in Him all these years
and some day we will all be happy
once again. Let us live in such O
way that when we come to the en'l
of life's journey we may enter into
the joys of our Lord.
Dear ones weep not for your loved
one,
Since God in His goodness knows
best;
And in His mercy towards us
Has called him to eternal rest.
To us it seems such a pity for a man
like him to die,
But our Lord has place prepared
For such men to dwell on high.
So whenever you miss him most,
Look up to blue, starry sky
And think how happy he is there;
That you will join him bye and bye.
