the dinner given in the Masonic
temple last night by home folks
in recognition of the honor be-
slowed upon a son of Rock Island.
The occasion was not only a
demonstration of friendship held
by his fellow citizens of both

bride of IL years ago witnessed the
tribute paid her husband by 500
friends and neighbors.
2. c. Fisher, superintendent of
schools, summed up the character
istics of the state chairman, as a
stick which finally
brought him into a position lead
ersbip in his party; tender solicit
tude and love for his parents
which endeared him 10 all who
obey the command to honor father
and mother, and a loyal citizen
over ready TO serve the community,
state and nation.
And when Mr.. Fisher said, Il can
sum up all these things. and turn

orator who pulls the stars out of
heaven, plays with them and makes
William Jennings Bryan look like
a plugged nickel" His remarks
were based upon the atmosphere
created by Mr.. Rosenfield as ex-
pressed by his personality. 1t was
his opinion, Mr. Fisher said, that
Mr.. Rosenfield rose in the world be-
cause OF a force in the community
which made it possible for him to
get on. He believed in supporting
the party organization as repre-
scented by Mr.. Rosenfield, and ended
by saying of that support, the
sky's the limit"

Slow In PAVING State Taxes.


State taxes are being paid extremely
slowly throughout South Carolina, ac-
cording to records of Sam T. Carter,
state treasurer. Up to January the
treasurer had received only S95,SSS.39
of 1921 taxes on total assessment Of
$5,429,8S7.20.
This amount Is a decrease over the
sum received last year up to the cor
responding date, January 5. Through
the close OF 1920, December 81, to-
tai of S72S.91463 had been received
and for the first five days Of 1921 a
total of $595,S41.S9 was received on
1920 taxes.
For the first five days Of 1922 a total
Of $46O,3S2.75 has been received on
1921 taxes. The tax books are open
from October Is to December 81 and
then a penalty of l per cent Is added.
According to the figures OF Mr.. Car
ter the people of the state are not
rushing to pay taxes. Mr.. Carter said
that the amount received so far on
1921 taxes was about 66 per cent or
the figure received on the same date
last year.
Last year the time for paying taxes
was extended by the legislature and
it is understood that lot Of people
think an extension will be granted this
year. A good deal Of confusion and
inconvenience was caused last year
by the extension, according to state
officials.
