And the way I see it is that this money, instead of being wasted, can he written down as hav ing saved the lives of hundred of thousands of American men who would have been sacrificed had the war continued another year. “That is the money we are going to ask the American people for in the Liberty Loan.

Columbia has seen parades of every sort and description;- the tiead of feet in unison, the rumble of artillery and the steady “chug-chug’’ of motor cycle squadrons are not strange sounds to the ears, of citizens of Co lumbia, and it has come to be expect ed that soldiers will parade. When it wtm rhaf the mffW7tf~ftrr 113th would not parade there was Unlimited Taxing Power. Considerable ‘interest has been aroused by the passage of an act at the last session of the general as sembly, designed „to apply to Spar tanburg only, but a provision was later attached which made the act of general application, excluding Spar tanburg. By the provisions of this act. which has already been approved by Governor Cooper, the city council of any municipality of more than 5,000 inhabitants may levy any amount nec essary for “current expenses, any school tax provided by law, fixed ('ll:! rges in the way sinking fund on bond and any other matter for which such municipality may be now or hereafter liable.” \ The measure is of peculiar interest in that a recent idea was advanced to place a levy of 40 mills in Columbia to meet current expenses and wipe out back indebtedness. Councilman Coleman said that he did not propose to ram anything down the people’s throats they did not want, but that he would renew the agi tation to increase the levy in Colum bia. ami that the powers given un der the act would be used in accord ance with the wishes "bf rhe majority of the people. more or'less consternation in many breasts, and fear was expressed lest the plans for entertainment would be seriously interfered with. To send 1.30ft men into Columbia in orderly columns is one tljing; to dump that many men into the city without sys tem or order is quite another. But the entertainment committee held their counsel, smiled at queries and simply set the machinery in motion. The men of the regiment were unan imous in expressing their appreciation of the cordial reception that had been accorded them, and they were not slow to voice their thanks for the treatment they had received at the hands of every one with whom they had come in contact. Planning Early Move. A meeting of the State Board of Correctional Administration, was held * in the .offices of G. Croft Williams, secretary of the Sfate Board of Char ities and Correction, when matters re lating to the Industrial Schoql for Girls at Campobello, the reformatory for boys at Florence, and the reform atory for negroes in Lexington county were considered.
