Another I#a of China Our idea of China has always been that it is a country of teeming: pop ulation. School geographies and his tories pictured boats on rivers as the homes of multiplied thousands of natives because there was no room on the land for them. This concep tion has been shattered since "for eign devils" have had opportunity within the past few years to explore the Chinese Empire. The Biblical Recorder last week states that James Joyne*, son of Dr. yH, Y. Joyner, of Raleigh, has recent returned from China, in which country he represented the American Tobacco Company for several years. The Recorder's reporter states that he learned many things about China that he never knew before, one of which is "that the 'Celestial Empire' is a great game country. Tigers, wild boar, geeSe, and ducks abound. The head of a large boar which Mr. .Joyner brought with him furnisher visible evidence of the existence of this animal. ' The one. whose head has been mounted was killed by Mr. Joyner. We had always been of the impression that China was so dense ly populated that there was, no land left for game. Mr. Joyner says the fertile parts are thickly populated, but there are great stretches of un-, productive sections in which game abounds.

Munns declared that .Winer wa? drunk and cursing toi(such an extent that two young women of Port Royal had complained to him. He went to arrest Winer,, who protested, saying he would see the officer in hell before submitting.

Ott was before the congregation when the end came. He had conducted a prayer and had entered whole heartedly into the ser vices. While reading the Bible he falter ed some and Rev. Ernest Dugan, pas tor of the church noticed this and saw Rev. Ott make a gesture and say "folks I am sick" and then fell. Rev. Dugan caught him before he fell to the floor. At first it was thought he had fainted, but doctors arriving upon the scene in a few minutes say he died as he fell. The congregation was dismissed with prayer after Rev. Ott fell and none knew at that time he was dead.* Dies After Diving Abbeville, May 28. ?

An other ship came later with more tax ed tea. The merchants of Charles Town to whom it had been consigned dumped the cargo into the sea. It wasn't exactly another tea, party, that meeting in Columbia last Friday when organization of the South Car olina Citizens' Cooperative Tax As sociation was perfected. But history is repeating itself, in South Carolina, An organized movement is being be gun to combat what is regarded as unjust taxation. From present indications, and judg ing by the almost universal (^satis faction throughout the state over the so-called "luxury taxes" enacted by the 1024 and 1925 Legislatures, the movement will be far-reaching and, before another General Assembly con venes, will assume ^tremendous pro portions. Present existing tax evils and in equalities will be fought, not mali ciously nor will there be anything of a spirit of reprisal, the organization now being perfected to be construc-| .tive, and 4he law, however objection- ( able and whatever hardships it may impose, will be observed. The important point, however, is that there is organization and deter-, mi nation to the end of revision and adjustment of taxes in South Caro-? i Una ? in which movement the South Carolina Citizens' ^Cooperative Tax1 Association, as its name implies, will have the cooperation of the citizenry. Unlike the merchants of Charles Town the merchants of South Caro lina; who are penalized and discrimi nated against under the present tax laws, will not resort to violence. The purpose of the organization as out lined in the by-laws adopted Friday is as follows: . "The purpose of this organization shall be, the calling together of nil farmers and,othcr business organiza tions in the state of South 'Carolina for the purpose of forming a central association to study the tax problems of the state of South Carolina; to make recommendations and sugges tions to the public and to the Gen eral Assembly of this state concern ing tht* assessment and levying of taxes; to investigate the needs of the state government as to appropri ations for its general fund and for the various state institutions; to mukc recommendations and sugges tions to the General Assembly of South Carolina in reference thereto; to cooperate in the general study of the tax needs of this state; to inves tigate business and farming condi tions, and from time to time sug gest such new laws as will attract and improve farming and business conditions within the bounds of this state." | 1 S.

DuPre of Columbia, W. G. Jackson of Spartanburg, and W, yf. Sullivan of Anderson and T. B. Young of Florence, to serve as vice [ presidents.

It is planned to have the newly formed association hold a meeting in ^the fall in Columbia at which time efforts will be directed to the fram ing of suggestions for adjustment of taxes, these suggestions to be sub mitted to the next general assembly for consideration.

The Disadvantage* of An Education The advantages of education are so numerous and so evident that thoy do not have to be proved. Occasion ally, however, there are disadvantages as well. The daughter had just returned from finishing school. "That air," remarked h<>r father, as they were sitting together in the dining room. "Father, dear," interrupted the girl "it's vulgar to say 'that air.' You should say, ,'that something there,' or preferably, just that.'" "Well, this ear,?" commenced her father. "No," his daughter interrupted again. "That's just as vulgar. You must avoid such expression as 'this 'ere?' "Look here, my girl," said her father. "I'm going to say exactly what I mean. That air is bad for this ear of mine, and I'm going to close the yindow." Sumter Editor Hart Sumter, May 28.? Mr. N, (J.
