Mr?. H. D. Brovn complimented
their sister, Miss Mildred Boyd, with

Beatrice Pruitt of Belton and Miss
Aileen Scott of Columbia, a cousin

On Wednesday evening, August

Brown's attractive home never appeared
more lovely than on this occasion
with its decorations of beautiful
ferns and flowers. The rear
hall was converted into a Japanese
garden, which was quite artistic and
beautiful, here delicious punch was
served throughout the evening by
K+ffo Misses Beatrice Pruitt and
Hessie Morrah, Progressive conversation
was enjoyed, also sweet
music was ably rendered by Misses
Emile Rhodes and Maggie Sutherland.
Near the close of the evening a
delicious salad course was served by
Miss Florence Murray of Anderson
and Mr. Raymond Pruitt of Mt.
Camel.
At quite a late hour, the guests
reluctantly departed, all hoping
that they soon would enjoy some
more of Mr. and Mrs. Brown's hos-i
pitality.

Wyatt Knox and John Reed of Abbeville
and .Miss Carrie Mary Gibert
Messrs Frank Sherrard, James
Boyd, " Walter Martin of Calhoun
Falls, Messrs. Mezt Price and Ted
Harmon of McCormick, John Covin

Miss Boyd's house gu6sts. Although
the weather was very inclement,
quite a number braved the storm to
enjoy the evening in this charming
home, which was lovely in its beautiful
floral tdecorations.

.evening and the guests were delight,

INHERITANCE TAX
WILL BE SUGGESTEE
j Columbia, Aug. 24.?The passagi
of an act providing for an inheri
Itance tax in South Carolina is to bi
recommended to the 1921 legisla
ture, by the special commissioi
named by the 1920 general assem
bly to study the taxation system o
the state, according to the ghairmai
of this commission, Senator J. H
Marion, of Chester, who has beei
in Columbia this week consulting
with the state tax commission am
also with Governor Cooper. Thi
commission is also making a stud;
of the assessment machinery of tb
j various counties, with a view to de
termine what remedies should b<
provided, if any for a fair equaliza
tion of taxation.
| Senator Marion stated befon
leaving Columbia Saturday that hi
committee is making a carefu
jstudy of tax laws in all other state
with a view to getting the bes
methods from other states for pos
'sible incorporations into laws o
South Carolina. It is probable tha
several lines will be made to thi
next legislature.
J Senator Marion's commission i
|composed of the following members
besides himself: Senator Laney o
Chesterfield; Senator Christensen
of Beaufort- Representatives Berr:
I of Orangeburg; J. B. Atkinson o:
j Spartanburg; Lide of Marion ant

I The inheritance tax wilf providi
a tax on all inheritance with certaii
'exemptions for widows and fo
gifts to charity and the .like. Inheri
|tance tax laws from other state
are being studied and the propose*
bill to be presented to the Soutl
Carolina legislature will includi
the best ideas from other states.

e where the American Red Cross has or- j 111
- ganized hospitals, dispensaries and , ?gj
schools for nurses. Counses in home jm
e hygiene and care of the sick have been gH
s started for thousands of women who j M
j j have never received any^ education In i Egi
this direction. Rural nursing which Rj
s was in Its Infancy a short while ago j
^ has been put ahead at leist a decade !
* through the work of the department '

t chapters. j
e Public health nursing has been ex- j
tended to many rural communities and i
now flourishes actively In hundreds of j
small towns and, counties. Nearly a j
' thousand efficient nurses have already j
^ been assigned to this kind of work.
> The department of nursing Is unifr- I
7 Ing with other organizations in a year's j
f campaign In recruiting nurses for
j training schools, In educating the gen-'
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and in showing communities
2 their responsibility toward schools of
