Mr. Editor, I have received lot tors from a great many of my'constitu ents asking mo to reduce taxes, l have answered practically all of them by asking them if thoy wanted their schools shortened or their toads to go uhworked, and they all. | say "No." I have made Up my mind to do my duty ?as I see lt without fear of any one. at tho same time re alizing my responsibility to my'con* stituents. To be a representative of th? people at. this particular time,{i? a'DCfOl.exing problem. In' my Q'wt?tf, monWits, when I am considering What.(? the best thing to do, I came to thi^', conclusion: That If. my" con stituents could exchange places With me for a while they,could better un fore the House and'S?n?ti at this session bearing tho-iabol of "Reform Revenue Bills." I am trying to sup port all of these bills that I can con scientiously support, with the view of lowering the tax on real estate and agricultural lands. The Income tax bill has caused considerable ex citement in the Sonate, and has been ably discussed by distinguished Sen ators from every angle. I am sup porting the amendment to this bill by Senator McGee, of Greenwood. Representative Dalton has intro duced and passed through the House a bill requiring the Blue Ridge rail road to build a depot at West Union. This bill, will be before tho Senate for consideration this week. There has been a bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Llghtsoy. This bill passed both Houses and has been ratified and signed by the Gov ernor. Senator Llghtaey's bill is as follows: "To make it unlawful for any person to make or circulate any false, statement calculated to cast suspicion upon the solvency of any bank in South Carolina, and to pro vide penalties therefor." The penal ties are very heavy, but in my mind are not too severe. The banks have been very kind and indulgent to the people in this time of deflation, and ? think we ought to show our ap preciation to them by protecting them against false rumors. J have Just had a conference with Governor Cooper, and he informs me that he has vetoed Senator Wells' bill extending the time for payment of taxes, as lt will work a hardship on the schools, and at the same time will not benefit any ono-tn the long run. .I don't know Just how long we will be here. It looks as If we will be* in session at least two more weeks. As for me, I'm here until lt ls over, or at least until we get tho necessary funds for the rural graded schools of the State. I am still of the opinion that we ought to wipe Sut Illiteracy in the State of South arollna. We have passed an eight mill tax on all districts not having this amount of tax, in order that they may got tho benefit of term ex tension. We do this* believing lt to be our duty to the entire enucational Interest of Oconee county. Faithfully your servant, W. P. Mnson. Mr. AVolfo Will Nose Around a Bit. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 26.-Samuel M.

PROTEST AGAINST REBUILDING Tho Toxaway Dom - People Along Kcowoe Should be Paid First. Toccoa, Ga., Feb. 21, 1922. Editor Kcowoe Courier: I notice in the last issue of your paper that the Toxaway Company contemplates rebuilding tho Toxa way dam. I wish to enter my emphatic pro test against the rebuilding of such dam until thc people along the Keo wee river have been paid for the severe damages to crops, lauds and other property, which losses woro caused by the breaking of tho old dam a few years ago. Even after the peoplo have been paid for tho dam ages by reason of the giving way of tho old dam, said company should not bo allowed to rebuild the Toxa way dam until a .good and suftlclcit bond has been filed with the Secre taries of State of North and South Carolina to cover any damages which may occur in the future, caused by the broaklng of the new dam. / I sincerely hope our wise legisla tors In South and North Carolina will pnss such laws as will exactly fit this case. I An injunction should be filed in the North Carolina courts to stop the rebuilding of this dam. The Congress of the United States should onact laws to protect her citi zens from such companies.

Paid Penalty of Crimes on Guillotine at Versailles Last Saturday. .' i Versailles, Feb. ;26.T-<Henrl Desir Landru, "Bluebeard of . Oana'baijs,'' convicted of tho murdor of ten wo men and one youth, gave bis Ufa this morning in exchange -for the eleven he had taken. The triangular knife of the guillotino fell at 6.05 o'clock, 25 minutes after tho time originally set for the execution, the. delay, caus ing many to express the erroneous opinion that Landru waa making a confession. 'Mysterious until death, Landru resented Father Lplselle's inquiry ao to whether he, had any lonfession to make. "It is an insult Co a man like me," was his reply.> "*?ad I any. confession; to i make; I' .wo,uld> have >. :mad,?\4t; lo u# ag^" but never did he utter tho oho <?l'hl^ trial. &n . ' 1 *n ?f He refused the sacrament, but he conversed a few moments- with the prleBt. "I shall be brave, never fear as to that,", he told the clergyman. The guillotine was erected only a few feet from the main entrance of ?he Jail. tAt 6 o'clock tho doors of the prison opened slowly, revealing in the courtyard the procurator gen eral, the warden of the prison and Landru's two lawyers, M. Moro Giaf feri and M. Duetrll. Then Landru appeared, clad In dark trousers and white shirt. His beard, which was one of his most striking characteristics, and which had become familiar to thousands through publication of his picture during the trial, had been tri m nt od, his head shaven and his neck a?d face were deathly pale. He walked exactly Ave steps before the execu tioner's assistant caught him about the waist and leveled him on the ta ble, which was Immediately up-end ed. The heavily weighted . knife slid down, and the whole affair was over In less than 20 seconds. Landru never faltered from the time he ap peared In the door. He gave the guil lotine one look, squared his shoul ders and walked erect, uttering not a word. v ' ' / Among the throng's that* stood In the streets adjacent tp the place of execution there seemed to be more of pity than of bitterness, and never a word of Invective against the man who had just paid the penalty for a series of tho foulest murders la the criminal annals of France was heard. .j. ?j. ?j? ?j. 4*4* 4* fr fr 4o*!**!* 4**t**t> 4*4*4*4* "SOME CIRCULATION," Jj SAYS ?JOHN L.

B. - A declaration thai the dynamite explosion which rocked Chicago and suburbs last night was the result of a criminal act was made to-day by II. M. Perbqh ner, assistant fire marshal. . The explosion occurred at the Con sumers' Company McCook q\iraryr near Argo, a suburb. The damage caused was estimated at about one million dollars. No lives are known to have been lost. "There was little gelatin in the powder, and lack of. gelatin means that the powder would haye to be touched off," Mr. Perbohner ex plained. Two of his assistants agreed with him as to the cause of the blast. .F\ W. Grear, resident manager of tho quarry, and L- H. Stewart, mas ter mechanic, declared their belief that shovelers who had failed to ob tain employment were' responsible for the explosion. They said that the company hr ' not renewed its agree ment with tue union after Jan. 1. Death of Mrs. James Crensluuv.
