CHURCH AFFILIATION.
Large Representation for Churches in
Both Houses of Congress.

That the churches are well repre-
sented in both houses of congress is

Episcopal church, which recently
made a survey and issued the follow
ing statement today:
Out of a total of 435 members OF
congress, "a are non-members, and

The Tax Question
Big Item at Capitol

The one subject of paramount i'm
portance and interest in the minds
of the members of the state legisla-
ture now beginning it's annual ses-
sion in Columbia is the tax question
and a proper adjustment thereof.
Every legislator, every senator, every
man connected in any way with the
general assembly is talking taxes,
taxes, taxes. The burden of over tax
ton being borne by the people has
evidently been brought to bear upon
the members very heavily. The
house of representatives Immediately
after being called to order by it's
presiding officer and going through
the first roll call was led in prayer
by it's chaplain, and then in the open
ing address delivered by the Hon. J.
B. Atkinson, of Spartanburg, speak
er Of the house, the tax proposition
was dealt on at length, it practically
being the sole topic of discussion. OF
course everybody is in favor of re-
ducing the appropriation and de-
creasing the levy, but it's like saying
one favors good roads; we all do,
but the difficult part is to effect a
means to meet this untimely situa-
tion;, it's easy to tell what to do, but
how to do it is the point that is per-
picking the best minds nthe legisla-
ture. It is certain from the early
sentiment that something will be
done to remedy matters, but just
what remains to be seen. Some talk
is being heard in regard to meas
ure to make the bad check laws more
stringent. And Representative Riley,
of Denmark, has a bill to introduce
which, if passed, will require the rail-
roads to erect in Denmark a hand
some modern passenger station. It
is not known whether the Coast Line
will be made to operate its trains
into the proposed new station there
or not. These are all the matters
thus far of local interest save the
election.

METHOD TO DESTROY IWEEVIL.
Greenwood Farmer Raises Pheasants
and Cotton in Same Field.

Greenwood, Jan. 5.-An entirely
new method of ridding cotton of boil
weevils has been proposed by plant
er of this section. The plan has few
complications, pne merely feeds the
weevils to pheasants. Of course, the
weevils and the pheasants must be
brought together so that the latter
may consume the former, but that
is a mere detail, the originator of
the scheme declares.
Using pheasants to rid cotton of
boil weevils is not a mere idle dream.
A practical farmer, planter who
knows how to turn the undeveloped
resources of farm into profit, has
proposed the new scheme. He is Eu-
gene Barmore, who with his brother,
R. L. Barmore, operates one of the
most diversified and profitable plan
tations in this section. Their planta-
ton is situated between Donalds and
Ware Shoals.
English ringneck pheasants have
been raised at a profit by Mr.. Bar
more for several years. The birds are
easily raised and demand fancy prices
as breeding stock he says. The birds
are ravenously fond of boil weevils
and wilA keep a cotton field clear Of
the pests. BY clipping the last joint
of one wing, the birds are prevented
from flying and may be kept in any
field enclosed with woven wire, ac-
.cording to Mr.. Barmore. They do not
eat crops, and both cotton and pheas-
ants may be grown at profit on the
same land, the planter declares.

Byrnes Speaks in Pennsylvania.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 11.-Hon.
James F. Byrnes, Of South Carolina,
has returned from Williamsport, Pa,
where he spoke at the Jackson Day
banquet. He did this at the request
of Chairman Rouse of the Democratic
congressional committee, who was
swamped with demands for Demo
cratic speakers for occasions of this
kind in many towns and cities. Mr..
Byrnes is serving his sixth consecu-
tive term in congress, though still a
young man. He is not only a very
entertaining after-dinner speaker, but
is known among his colleagues as one
of the ablest debaters in the house.
He is member Of the great commit
tee on appropriations. Since the Gre
alton of the budget system the i'm
portance of this committee, though al
ways great, has been much increased.

DEATH OF GRAND OLD MAN.
Colonel Darlington Dies in Allendale
Led Life of Service.

Allendale, Jan. 8.-Col. William R.
Darlington, Grand Old Man" of AL
lendale county, died at his home here
this morning at o'clock. His death
was not unexpected, as he had been
a sufferer for the last seven months
from a stroke of paralysis received
last June.

ternoon at o'clock, followed by in
terment in Swallow Savannah GENE

until the last year of his life took
an active interest in all affairs per-
tanning to the welfare of his commun-
ity. He was in many ways the most
influential citizen in this section of
the state. He was the first chairman
of the board of commissioners which
directed the efforts to form the coun-
ty of Allendale,, efforts which came
to fruition in 1919. At the time of
his death he was chairman of the
county pension board and also mem
Der of the county board of commits
sioners. The vigor which Colonel
Darlington directed to civic affairs
was also reflected in his keen busi-
ness acumen and driving power and
accumulated for him much valuable
city and plantation property.

Will Build Highway From
Banberg to FHz's Bridge

The county supervisor, commission
rs and legislative delegation came to
an agreement last week in regard to
the construction of the Charleston
and Augusta highway from Bamberg
to the crossing of Edisto river at
Fitz's bridge, a few miles below
Branchville. The state highway de-
partment has been advised ofthe ac-
ton of the county authorities, and
the commission has been requested to
prepare estimates and complete the
work of surveying as early as possible,
so that the contract may be awarded
at an early date. 1t is hoped to have
this road completed by or before the
fall of the year.
The state highway commission has
been very anxious to have this road
built for some time past. Federal
aid to the usual extent of fifty per
cent. has been assured up to SIS, 1000,
which, it is believed, will cover half
the cost of the road, and in the event
Of the cost going beyond 100000, it
is believed that additional aid may
be secured, though no definite prom
ise to this effect has been secured.
It will be grateful and pleasing
news to the residents Of the portion
of county through which this road
traverses to know that it is now
settled that the Branchville road will
be built This road has been an eye
sore and menace to travellers for
years. In view of the fact that the
county authorities have been expect
ing to build the road with federal
aid for some years past, no great
expenditures have been made in the
way of repairing, and the founda-
tion of the, road was such that tempo
rary repairs did very little good. It
was really expected that this road
would have been built long ago, but
conditions arose which made it inn
possible to carry on the work.
County Supervisor w. B. Smoak
has been very much interested in the
building of this road, and in the face
Of obstacles has gone ahead with
his plans, and he is now delighted
that the matter is settled definitely.
The delegation has likewise labored
to overcome the obstacles in the way,
and everything has now been cleared
up with the exception Of the secur-
ing of the proper right Of way for
necessary changes in the road, such
as Strengthening out, etc. However,
Mr.. Smoak is devoting this week to
getting the rights Of way signed up,
and is apprehending no trouble in
getting all parties to agree to give
the rights to the county. Already a
number Of plantation owners have
granted the necessary rights, and be-
fore the week is over Mr.. Smoak
hopes to have the entire route clear.
The road measures approximately
fourteen miles in length, and with
it's completion there will be gov
ernment highway practically the en-
tire way from Augusta to Branch
vile.

/. Income ak Returns

The following statement is issued
by the acting collector of internal
revenue, w. R. Bradley, of the dis
trict Of South Carolina3
''The revenue act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions,
which are the subject of frequent in
quiry. The first relates to the per-
sonal exemption allowed married per-
sons, and the second to the provision
requiring that return be made of
gross income of $4,000 or more.
"The Act provides that a married
person, living with husband or wife,
whose>net income for 1921 was $5,-
600 or less shall be allowed person
al exemption of $4,000. If the net
income of such person was over $5,-
600 the exemption is $4,000. Under
the revenue act of 1918 the personal
exemption allowed a married person
was $4,000, regardless of the amount
of net income. The normal tax rate
remains unchanged, per cent. on
the first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions and per cent. on the
remaining net income.
'tIn order that an income slightly
in excess of $4,000 shall not be SUBJ
jected to an inordinately dispropor-
tionate tax because of the reduction
of the exemption to $4,000 thereon.
The law provides that such reduction
shall not operate to increase the tax,
which would be payable if the ex-
emption were $2,500, by more than
the amount Of the net income in ex-
cess of $1,000.
'For example, on net income of
5000, the tax without this saving
clause, would be $120.4O, which is
4 per cent. on 5000, the amount of
net income less an exemption of ST.
900. The actual tax is $110.40, COM
puted as follows: From the net in
come of 5000 is deducted $4,000,
leaving $3.50, the per cent. tax
of which amounts to s100.40. To
this is addeAs1o.o0, "the amount OF
net income in excess of $4,000"
'The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of family, person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by h'ood, marriage, or
adoption.
Heretofore, person whose net in
come was less than his exemption
$1,000 if single, or $4,000, if mar
ried) was not required to file re-
turn. Under the revenue act of 1921,
if the gross income of an individual
equalled or exceeded $4,000, or if
the combined gross income of mar
ried couple and that of dependent
minor children equalled or exceeded
5000, a return must be filed, re-
gardless of the amount of net in
come.

certain deductions. The fact that
allowable deductions from gross in

CONCENTRATION

In one of the Laboratories of Washing
ton they have a great sun glass that mea-
sures three feet across. 1t is like the burn
ing glass we used to treasure when we
were boys, only much larger. This great
glass gathers the rays of the sun that
strike its fiat surface and focuses them on
a single point in space few feet below.
That single spot is hotter than a blow
torch. 1t will melt through steel plate as
easily as a red-hot needle burns through
paper.
This terrible heat-it cannot be mea-
sured for it melts all Instruments just
three feet of ordinary sunshine, concen-
trated on single point. Scattered, these
rays are hardly felt-perhaps just pleasant
ly warm; concentrated, they melt adamant.
The same principle applies to human
endeavor. Scattered, mans energies do
not amount to much: once they are all
focused on the task in hand, seemingly tre-
mendous difficulties, like snow on a hot
stove, are overcome.
Get the habit of concentrating when you
start to do thing-throw on all the steam
you have and focus everything on the task
in hand. Remember that three feet of
ordinary sunshine concentrated will burn
through anything.-Ex.

THE OPTIMIST

His mind a stately palace builds
Safe from the commonplace;
And never tinselfed touch nor time
Can its fair worth erase;
Its gold withstands the play of years,
Its light shines in his face.
He dreams his dream, and 10! he brings
Good forces to his aid:
And in the path of Truth he rears
Loves temple, unafraid;
Till in its finished form there dwells
The God his faith has made.
