VOLUME LVIII, NUMBER 22. NEWBERRY, S. C., Friday, March 17, 1922. ^ TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR
SESSION BROUGHT
MANY NEW LAWS
REVENUE PRINCIPAL TOPIC OF
LEGISLATION
"T" ? ? nf Rills Killed t?v
1 WU V* WV??V0 W
Senate?Other Important
Acts Passed
The State, 13.
The session of the general assembly
brought to an end yesterday afternoon
was at once one of the long
? *
est and busiest 01 any meetings ui
the state legislature in recent years.
The session was extended 20 days
beyond the regular 40 day limit, both
houses being occupicd with business
of importance up to the closing hours.
The recasting of the tax program of
the state was the chief problem facing
the legislature, as the members
of the two houses saw it, and it was to
the acco?nplishhment of this end that
the greater portion of the time and
thought of the members of the two
houses was directed.
The session of 1921, the 74th general
assembly's first session, was conspicuously
barren as compared with
the session of 1922, just enaea, dul h
saw the launching in the house of the
tax reform program. The session of
1922 opened with practically the entire
tax burden of the state borne by
visible, tangible property. The session
closed yesterday with 40 per
cent of the this burden shifted to
other sources as a result of the action
of the two houses in passing five of
now rovannp measures sriv- |
uiic seven iibn
en consideration during the 60 days j
of the session. These new measures
are the domestic corporation license I
tax, the income tax, the inheritance j
tax ana the gasoline tax. !
Two Tax Bills Killed
Two other tax measures, the hvdro-!
electric tax bill and the luxury tax
bill, were killed by the senate after
? 1- "I _ j-U -
passage by the lower nouse, wane uie
Sapp resolution, providing for the
amendment of the state constitution
to empower tfie general assembly to
fix a just and equitable system of
raising the state revenues, was lost
on the senate calendar, 'being continued
along with the other bills which
the upper house was unable to reach
and pass in tM closing hours of the j
session. The companion resolution to
this, also introduced by Rspresenta- j
tive Sapp, was lost on the house cal- j
endar, the absence of so many mem- J
bers (luring the last two weeks of the ]
session making it practically impossible
to secure the needed constitution- j
al two-thirds majority in favor of the j
measure.
The estimated revenues expected to j
be derived by the various new revenue
measures this year are: Income
tax, $1,000,000; gasoline tax, $350,000,
and the two corporation t?.x
measures, $125,000. The inheritance
tax will produce but little return ihis j
year, but is expected to be felt to a j
considerably larger extent in the i
years to follow.
The luxuries tax, killed in the sen-;
ate, was expected to give an annual j
return of between $1,500,000 and S2,000,000,
while revenues to be derived
i from the hydro-electric tax, twice
killed by the upper house, were variously
estimated at $150,000 and
$300,000 annually.
Many Other New Laws
Othpr mensurps of more than usual
importance enacted during the session
include the 55 hour textile law,
/ the railroad and public service commission
consolidation law, the bill enlarging
the powers of the consolidated
railroad commission with reference
to public utilities, the telephone rate
reducing bill, the bill preventing the
use of cutouts on motor vehicles on
the roads of the state, the bank slander
law, the 1922 code bill, the Gerald
street car arbitration bill, the bill
to reapportion the representatives in
the general assembly, the \\ ells lax
extension resolution, the cotton standards
act. the Mclnnes act to repeal
to the anti-tipping law.
A series of bills to provide for bien
nial sessions of the general assembly j
and for four year terms of office for
state officers was killed overwhelming-1
ly in the house, while the Sellers bill j
to abolish free scholarships in state in-1
stitutions of nig'ner learning and the1
Leopard bill to create a board of state 1
chiropractic examiners also met their
death at the hands of the lower bo.lv.

CHILDREN OF NEAR EAST
CRYING FOR HELP
I Columbia, March 15.?There is
! many a South Carolina boy back in
jhis home now who would be sleeping
| under a wooden cross in France bji
i for the heroism of the 300,000 Ar.ne
! nian troops who gave up their lives
in defense of the vast Baku oil JieIJ>,
Cangressman Will D. Upshaw, thvi
'"Billy Sunday" of Congress, r^emly
stated.
''Experts agree that Germany's fail
ure to capture this huge oil field
shortened the war by many mnoths,"
Mr. Upshaw declared. "Who knows
how many of our boys would have
been left had that vast- maelstrom of
killing continued even a day longer,
when 10,000 men were giving up their
lives every 24 hours?
"The children of these heroes who
made it possible for South Carolina
boys to return are askinr crumbs
from your tables?just enough food
to take away the stinging pangs of
hunger. Are we going to let them
starve? We would not be true Americans
if we did.
"Hardly much bigger than South
Carolina, Armenia sent into the war
400,000 troops, and most of them never
came back. Their women and children
were left?at least such women
as the Turks did not outrage and
butcher."
Congressman Upshaw is making oppeals
in behalf of the Near East Relief
in many of the large cities of the
South.
All contributions should be sent to
Mr. Wm. M. Gibbes, Jr., treasurer.

DESERVEDLY HIGH HONOR
COMES TO DR. G. B. SETZLER
Dr. G. B. Setzler of the class of
'13, Newberry college, who has been
on the University of Virginia hospital
staff since his graduation from that
institute in 19IS, was recently elected
to the Alpha Omega Alpha honorary
medical fraternity. From a medical
standpoint this is the highest honor
conferred upon one along this line. It
was established at the university in
1019 and is one of the very few
schools of the South which has this
chapter.
Well, Why?
An eager looking youngster approached
a man hurrying in the direction
of the railway station. "Car
ry your bag, sir?" he asked.
"No," snapped the man.
'Til carry it all the way for a
nickel."
"I tell you I don't want it carried!"
snarled the man.
Whereupon the lad broke into a
quick trot to keep up with his victim's
hasty strides, as he asked, in
innocent curiosity: "Then why are
you carrying it?"
Unlike the 1921 session there was little
evidence of possible retrogression,
the greater number of measures introduced
being to enlarge and perfect
existing departments of the state, a
move to abolish the state highhway
commission reared its head in the
house for a short time, but the bill to
carry out this plan was pigeonholed
in the committee room and was never
debated on the floor of either house.
A series of similar measures, aimed
at the highway department, was thoroughly
considered by the senate,
however, and overwhelmingly defeated
by that body. Senator Wightman's
bills to abolish the tax commission
and the board of public welfare wore
also killed.

"Good Luck"
Chicago, March 12.?Newspaper
men are supposed to stand by and
smile at happenings and people in a
cynical manner, according to the popular
belief. The men assigned by the
Chicago newspapeprs to cover the federal
building ''beat," however, were a
little bit different in the case of the
retirement of Kenesaw M. Landis
from the federal Pencil.
On the famous jurist's: last day in
court the federal building reporters
presented him with the following testimonial
hand lettered around his photograph
on a large plaque:
"Judge Landis:
"For newspaper men the federal
building will not be the same after
you have gone. You will take the life
of the joint away with you.
"The srood ooinion of newspaper
reporters is seldom sought, perhaps,
but few men can say, as you can, that
their departure made the press room
blue.
"We've known you for a long
time, Not? just because there is

are an honest-to-God man and a

Mrs. James Mcintosh* was hostess
to the Jasper chapter of the National
Society of the Daughters of the American
Revolution on Saturday the
tenth, at which time South Carolina
day was celebrated. At roll call the
members present responded with cur
rent events of interest to South Carolinians.
The meeting was presided
over hy the vice regent, Mrs. W. G.
Houseal, in the absence of the regent,
Mrs. W. H. Hunt. After a short business
session, a very instructive and
intertaining paper on South Carolina !
was read by Mrs. J. M. Kinard. This ;
paper showed that Mrs. Kinard had
taken infinite pains in its preparation,
which began with the first colony
from France under Jean Ribeau, coming
on down to the present day. and
dwelling on each particular political
era, giving a resume of each war in
which our slate participated, with
the credits when due.
Miss Mary Burton read an interest
in? letter from our state superintendent
of education in regard to the observance
of South Carolina day,
i March 18th, and giving the wo"ds of
the legislative act whidh made its observance
a law. This day is supposed

I
! as well as elsewhere in the state and

. feasting at banquets and big" dinners J
i after lavish expenditure of money, I
- notwithstanding; the cry of hard j
times. Those who partake of the food
are no more in need of it than was
. Balsharzar and his friends at the ban|
(prt whVh foretold destruction. Still
with t'l j cry of h3rd times upon their
l'ps the people of favored America!
spend money freely upon other indulgences
which gratify for the mo,
ment. You who have all you want and '
to spare read the following from a fa-.
mine strickcn land:
|
I "So many are already dying that j
, they are burying them in v/3gon j
loads. They take off the clothes of
! the dead, throw them into boxes, put
snow on the bodies to freeze them,
I then transport them in piles to the
j cemetery. There, twice a week, they

bodies in droves and dig into graves.,
Dead children, starved to death, are <

hauled away." ' (
Look at the two pictures. "Is it
nothing to you, all ye that pass by?", \
Even the crumbs which fall from the! j
banquet tables would be a God-sen ' (
I to the starving ones. Those who are ,
already dead from starvation and ex- ,
posure, and "left outside in open ways ]
in piles, covered with rags until they (
can be hauled away," are beyond the <
reach of the money wasted in riotous 3
living. They can not feel the at- ,
tacks of the dogs gnawing their ema- :
ciated bodies; but what of those who
are at this very moment dying of
hunger and want? "On with the ban- <
quet, let waste be unconfined," if you ;
will, but let's stop crying hard times, 11
and while we are feasting in pleasure i ^
ana luxury, let us also not refuse help ?
for those unfortunate ones who, un- j ^
less aid reaches them, will soon have ; j
their dead bodies stripped of their j,
scant clothing-, thrown into piles and ,
transported to the cemetery, there to i
be "thrown into great holes, cross- 2
wise, packed closely."
You know nothing at all of hard
times. i

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
ADJOURNS AT LAST
FIGHT IN HOUSE ON APPROPRIATION
BILL
Both Houses Wait Through Night
and Sunday Morning on Con*
ference Committee
The State, March 13.
After being in session, with various
recesses, since 10:30 o'clock Saturday
morning, the general assembly adjourned
sine die at 3:38 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, having finally passed
and ratified the annual appropriation
bill, providing for the expenditure
by the state during 1922 of $5.839,106.04
and carrying a state-wide
levy on real property of seven mills,
a reduction of five mills as compared
with the levy of 1921. The session
i i nn j 1 1 A (\
naa run zu uays ue^uuu mc -xv
limit.
Adjournment yesterday afternoon
was reached only after a long vigil by
both houses, lasting through Saturday
night an^ Sunday morning, while
the conference committee worked on
the annual appropriation bill. The
senate completed its consideration of
this measure Friday night and the
conference committee began work on
the bill Saturday morning. All
through the day and night the three
senators and three representatives
debated the bill and rewrote it while
the two houses sat and waited for
their report It was not until 1:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon that the
committee completed its task and sent
its report and the rewritten foill to
the two houses, to be adopted later
by both, ratified and sent to the governor
for his signature. The senate
agreed to the conference report almost
without debate. The house,
however, gave its acquiscence only grafter
lengthy argument.
Eleventh Hour Attack
This eleventh hour attack upon the
appropriation bill, which if successful
would have held the general assembly
in session at least two weeks
longer, furnished a dramatic finale to
the session. All through Saturday
night various members of the house
of representatives had attempted to
secure adjournment over until Monday
to prevent a meeting of the general
assembly on Sunday, so yesterday
afternoon, when the report of
the ccnfercnce committee was received
at 1:30 J. E. Anderson of
Florence moved to adjourn debate on
the report until Monday. Mr. Anderson
stated that he was not oppos2d
-LI- T- MI ? it. - J ? J.:?
co xne o:ii or uie auupuuu tnc report
but since it was apparent that
it would be contested he was opposed
to any discussion of it on Sunday.
Debate on Mr. Anderson's motion
revealed considerable opposition to
the adoption of the conference report,
the charge be'ng made by E. R.
Buckingham of Aiken that the. bill
had 'jeen twisted from one side to the
other. Mr. Buckingham's statement
brought T. E. Hughes of Marion to
ieny the implication of twisting or
juggling of the figures in any way by
either the ways and means committee
)r the conference committee.
T* \ T) . ? r> 11 J
s\. Diu.vn 01 oarnweii oppoaeu
the motion of Mr. Anderson and
thought, he said, that the time had
:ome "for the honest manhood of the
state to manifest itself." The one
iim of the session, he pointed out, had
seen the relieving of the tax burdenid
farmers of the state and, he claimid,
the conference committee was not
representative of the house since none
:>f the 54 farmers in the house were
lamed as members of the committee.
Not Afraid of Fight
Eugene S. Blease of Newberry
