'lt) TEST STATE INCOME TAX LAW Several Irregularities Charged in the Mat ?er ol* Its Passage. Columbia. May IO.-The State in come lax law got into the courts yes-, terday on the allegation that il is unconstitutional, and tho Supreme Court, assuming Jurisdiction, set the J M h of this month as Ibo dato for tho hearing of arguments in the peti tion of tho San lee Mills, of Orange burg, for a restraining order against the State Tax Commission, to prevent thom from proceeding with tho col lotcion ot* the tax. The San tee Mills ailcge, among other things, that Ibo act was not read three times in each branch of the General Assembly: thal tho aol of Congress providing tho Federal income tax was not read into the act except by title: that there is no provision in the State income tax law for exemption from taxation of tho fed ora I income tax paid each year, and therefore taxes money that la not Income, thereby falling outside the scope of an income tax; that the Slate act incorporates the enforce ment of tho same rules and regula tions as are provided In the Federal income tax law, but that these were not read Into tho act hy the two branches of tho State Legislature; that tho Stato law allows a re'tiru for tho calendar year or for tho fiscal i year, therein* taxing some persons j for twelve moa tbs and others for a j longer period than il calendar year; thal tho Slate law provides a tax on certain Inter-State commerce, and il>at it exempts insurance companies from taxation, thoroby becoming in sense class legislation. CALOMEL GOOD, IUP AWFUL TREACIIEROl S. Next Doso May Salivate, Shock Liver' Ol' Attack Your Hones. You know what calomel is. It's mercury!-quicksilver. Calomel ls dangerous, lt crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sicken ing you. Calomel attacks the boucs and should never be put Into your system. If you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents, which is a harmless vegetable substituto for dangerous calomel. Tako a spoonful, and if it doo3 not start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel, and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight ens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Givo it to tho children because lt is perfectly harm less and can not salivate.-adv. Youngster Lassoes an Auto, (Tugnloo Tribune, May Otb.) Roy, tho 12-year-old son of Mr. ??nd .Mrs. ira Phillips, who live near {.'ne Caines-Dalton planer, happened to a peculiar accident Sunday, which carno near costing him his life. From What wo aro able to learn, the boy was near the road, playing "cowboy." Ho had a rope tied or wrapped about his body, and ns an automobile went whizzing by he made an attempt to throw a losso, or what is known as a running noose, over or towards tho car, and in so doing it caught on tho windshield. Tho boy was dragged about a hundred feet. We have not beard the extent ot* his injuries, but :ill say thal ho was badly hurt and <>lood was running from ono car on yesterday.

Vacation Time Spirit Hehl Sway for tho Simiente and Touchers. Tamassoo. .May I I.-Special: The weeks just recently past wore glad weeks at Tnmassee-yet withal sad ones for those who hud spent seven months lhere. Tho "vacation limo spirit" had long been ringing tn tho lives ol" tho students. This was partly due lo practicing of our commence-! mont music, for some of the pieces' were vacation songs. Yot time passed j in a hurry despite the fact that exam inations were on. Tho first day of tho last week of school at the D. A.-R. brought to us several cases of "flu." This, ol' course, was not a welcome visitor. This one is quite different from our (.thor visitors at Taninssee. Well one might imagino a gloom over our school at the time, but still they are mistaken, 'rio' sick ones would smile ?ind say. "1 think 1 will lu; all right by Thursday," while the (?tilers went about the duties with a broad smile, 'l in ii very often Ibo smites would burst and a hourly laugh was heard. <>n Wednesday we were all so dis appointed to know that Hie board ladies could not be with us for the commencement. Hut as we still had four sick ones they decided it best not to come up from Walhalla. Now, wc must also say that we were not tho only ones disappointed, for the ladies of the board wore equally as sorry. With tho help of two young men of the community, wc deeorate'd tho sttige very beautifully. Thc mountain laurel being in bloom, this served as a very pretty decoration, using a white background. Tho laurel was banked at the edge along the entire length of tho porch. The d?corations on the stage changed with the differ ent scenes. We used Hie porch for our stage and seated thc people just in front of the building. Tho place . where tiley sat was marked off with I white and blue crepe paper. These I were brought from each corner post j just as far down in the campus as wc could go without getting into tho Decs. We had three gates, one at! euch end and one at tho center. At j these gates stood the ushers-Lucian Whitmire, Charlie Cowan, Clyde Cowan, Arthur Cowan and Floyd Xix-who wore big bows of white and blue ribbon on their arms. These young men furnished 'he people with programs. Tho entire program was a great success, which was proven to tho teachers at the close by the hand shakes and congratulations they re ceived. The time has now come when wo must go to our diff?rent homos-a fact that brings both pleasure and a j feeling of sorrow, for has not each j teacher and pupil come to regard the H. A. ll. School as her second home? livery girl at the school applied for a place for next session. Tho Now York cottage will go up this summer, we understand. This will allow us to take in more girls, so any who desire a place should write or see Mrs. II. C. Jones, Walhalla, S. C. Wo will long remember the Wed nesday night song service and the Sunday school wo have had at the D. A. R. School this past session and hope for just such interest next year. We wish to thank the community for everything you have done for our school, and wish for your succ?s* and happiness during the vacation months. Tho Closing Program.
