The Encyclopaedia Britannica •
say# about the manufacture of
smoking tobacco, “ on the
Continent and in America certain
'sauces’ are employed ... the
use of the < sauces’ is to improve
the flavour and burning qualities
of the leaves.” — ———
Your smoke«enjoyment de
pends as much upon the Quality
and kind of flavoring used as^
upon the Quality and aging of
the tobacco.
Tuxedo tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome and delicious cf
all flavorings—chocolate ! That
flavoring, added to the f’nest cf
carefully aged and blended
burley tobacco, produces Tuxedo
— the perfect tobacco—

Senate.
Feb, 18.—The bill establishing a
board of tax assessors and abolishing
the tax commission occupied the at
tention of the senate. Senator Mc-
Coll said that it was "incumbent up
on the proponents of the bill'to de
velop the indictments against the
present systm as represented by the
tax commission.”
- The budget bill for appropriations
which had been suggested by Gov
ernor Cooper was considered and
passed to a third reading with notice
of general amendments.
House.
Good roads legislation originating
in the house this session was dis
carded with reckless abandon. The
vote of the central committee’s sub
To Stimulate Epreign Trade.
Representative Etheredge of Saluda
has introduced l p the house a concur
rent resolution calling for the appoint*
ment of a committee from the two
houses to confer with the Stats ware
house commissioner and other per
sons, looking to the formation of a
cotton cbrporatlon to stimulate trade
in the foreign field, as suggested by
W. P. Gr-ttarding, governor of the
board of directors of the federal re-
setwte ft^stem. when in Columbia. The
resolution was adopted without dis
cussion.
stitute bill, which was a combination
of all the ideas proposed, 'was reject
ed by a vote of 51 to 63. The Burgu-
son measure, for which the committee
measure was a substitute, was then
rejected by a vote of 27 tb 76. The

ed the meridian when this last vote
was taken.

ate to raise the age limit for road
taxes from 18 to 21 years was passed
by the house and ordered enrolled
for ratification.

pproprlate $50,000 for vocational
training in agriculture, trades and in
dustries and in home economics was
passed by the house and ordered en
rolled for ratification.
Senate.
Feb. 19.—The Confederate veterans
of the state would have had happy
moments if they had been in the state
senate.
As expressed by Senator Alexander
of Pick'ens they are all now past
three score and, ten, the alotted span
of life for man, and “if we are ever
to do anything for them, now is the
time.” He wanted all to receive the'
full pension which the state allows
to class “A" the great sum of $96 a
year, and the veterans in the Confed
erate Home in addition to their main-
tennhee are to receive $75 a year
"spending money.”
This creates a Confederate pension
department with a commissioner, afe
$2,000 a year and $2,000 for an office,
force. The bill carries an appropria?
tion of $350,000 which Senator Chris
tensen said was sufficient to put' all
Confederate veterans in class A.
House.
The Citadel bill, calling for .an ap
propriation of $300,000 with which^to
build « new plant in Charleston was
pas.-ed and smit to the senate.
The bill calling for $100,000 for
buildings and maintenance for the
state training school for the feeble
minded was also passed.
Proponents of good roads legisla
tion gathered their forces - and again
determined to. put some form, o!
good roads legislation through the
present session of the general assem
bly. A bill . was introduced by the,
committee on roads, bridges and fer
ries to levy a three mill tax on all
taxable property for road purposes
and to meet the aid offered by the
federal government.
Both Houses.
Feb. 20.—The senate today had an
alarm sounded over the utter failure
thus far to do-nnything with refer
ence to legislation in the interest of
good roads. It is ^apparent that the
session will continue next week, and
Senator Johnstone said that it was
well for the session to continue? if
for no other reason than the import
ance and necessity of passing legis
lation for good roads. He felt that it
would be a great mistake and great
wrong to the people if the legisla *
ture left here without doing some
thing for permanent road improve
ment. ' .
- The house of representatives de
voted its whole morning session to
the “sounding” of IIS' calendar which
was interrupted at 1:30 o’clock by
the house going to the senate for the
ratification of • acts. This procedure
likewise broke, into'a spirited debate
on the merits and demerits of various
species of dogs and whether a tax of
*1 .25 a head would be burdensome
or the people of the state.
Inventory of Stock Required. *
D. C. Heyward, collector of internal
revenue, said that as the new war
revenue act -s now sure of becoming
a law and as under its provisions all
dealers in tobacco, snuff, cigars and
cigarettes wOuld be required to nay
additional taxes, that dealers in these
articles will be required to make an
inventory of any stocky which they
may have'on hand on the morning
»fte£. the bill has been approved and
signed by the President. There is no
probability that the bill will be ve
toed.
