Cheater Reporter, March 27: There j
are still those who say that the legis- j
latere ain't done pothln'." We are
Inclined to think however, that before
the tax book? have been opened a
great while It will be found that the
legislature has done ccmsldefable.?

l$vy; 1-4 wills, not including the j
two ceAts gasoline' tax, though we, of
coyr?e, don't want to be understood as J
trying to saddle this terrible load on j
the; legislature, which was simply pro- I
"Ml"" rnnnov It was called unon I

women voters held a meeting' the other
day for the purpose of impressing on
the women of the community the importance
of every qualified woman's
registering and preparing herself to
take part in any elections that may
come up. This is highly important,
and the women of Chester should hold
a,similar meeting. There is no need
of Chester or any other town in South
Carolina's ever having a man of
doubtful or shady reputation elected
to office again. The women have
changed ,all that, .if they will only exercise
the prerogative that has been
thrust into their iiandBs We doubt if
any of the women of Chester care to
serve members of the city council,
but they owe It to themselves and the
community to see that, the right kind
of men are chosen.. ...."The Fortune
pUnter" was presented at the oper$i
house Friday evening to a large crowd,
the play being put on under the auspices"
of Chester Post, American Legion.
All of the players did well, and
reflected a great deal of credit upon
themselves and upon Dr. C. M. Rakestraw,
who took charge of the company
after the departure of Mr. Webber,
who came here to put on the play,
and ,vanished between suns wun a
goodly sum that he had derived from
one source and another....'?...With the
advent of spring all of Chester's qontractors
are busy, and ,from present
indication it would seem that there is
going to be plenty of work in Chester
this spring and summer ,for carpenters,
brick masons, painters, plumbers, electricians
etc., and plenty of business
for the material men. Work was begun
a few days ago on the handsome
^*M<liomc of Mr. L. K. Sri^r^w York,,
street- Mr. j. fe. I^e'ls^h^cortfractor.
The .plans call for a brick veneer, one
story and a-half bungalow of English
type, and will be when completed one
of the handsomest homes in Chester.
Work is also proceeding rapidly on
Mr. W. H. Lowrance's handsome brick
home on Saluda street, Mr. R. L.
Clemmer contractor. Mr. Lowrancc
also will have a very beautiful, comfortable,
and thoroughly modern home
When complete^. Mr. C. W. Hugglns
is making rapid headway with Mr. R.
A. Ollp'nant's pretty bungalow on
Foot? street, and Mr. Oliphant and
family will be domiciled In their new
quarters within the next few weeks.
Yandle & Burrls have the contract for
some extensive alterations to Mr. Geo.
' 3R. Ball's home qn Lancaster street.
Mr. Ball plans to spend $4,000 In remodeling
his dwelling, and will convert
it into a very hapdeome bungalow of
the most modern type Miss Daisy
Davles, of Atlanta, delivered a wonderfully
interesting address at Bethel
M. E- church Thursday evening on
conditions in various parts of Europe
that she has recently visited. Miss
Davles' first-hand picture of thp suf
fering ,and misery to be found on every
side, and the need of the Gospel's assuaging
Influence, was most graphic,
and made a deep impression on her
hearers.
Lancaster News, March 28: Dr. J.
Reece Funderburk is out again after a
two-week's fight with flu. When asked
if he really had it the doctor replied,
"Yes, in all its stages and heaviest
form." A,. J. Gregory has
commenced the erection of a six-room
bungalow on his McCardell lot on
Chesterflejd avenue. A part of the
material has been laid down and the
workmen are now engaged in putting
up the frame work. This cottage is
only a temporary home as Mr. Greg

..... Arthur W. Garrison and Miss
Eula Carnes, both of Rock Hill, were
united in marriage Saturday evening,
at 7;30, at the Baptist pastorium on
Izard street. The pastor of the J'ark

on Hutchison street Friends
of Rev. C. I'. Carter, of Rock Hill, will

able to be out again soon The city
fire department answered two alarms
Friday night, one in a servant house
in the rear of R. E. Wy lie's home and
the other in the home of Clyde Williams
on Elm street. Only slight damage
resulted from both blazes, each
having been extinguished on the arrival
of the tire truck The Charleston
division had one of its engines
overturned Wednesday at Marion. The
engine was in charge of Engineer Jack
Crow and Fireman It. T. Hilton, both
of Ftock Hill. Mr. Hilton got his
shoulder bruised; otherwise no damage
was done, except to the engine
( and tracks. A switch thrown the
wrong way caused the trouble, but it
so happened that Engineer Crow saw '
the switch In time to avoid a bad accident.

March 28: Mrs. Ella Blackwood Oates,
widow of Robert M. Oates and one of
Charlotte's most beloved and prominent
women died suddenly this afternoon
'at 5:30 at her home on North
Tryon street. Surviving ,her are four
children. Mrs. Geonre Bethel, of Rich
tnond. Va., Mrs. W. H. Twitty, Mrs.

lived at Cleveland Springs hotel
which was operated at, one time by
her father).,-. Young Willis Pendleton,
son of Mf. an4. Mrs. W. A, Pendleton
went to the. movies one .night last
week and he also went to sleep. The
show was over, the people gone, lights
turned out and the doors closed for
the night, yet no one knew that young
Pendleton was peacefully sleeping inside.
He has a habit of walking In Jhis
sleep, so shortly after the performance
was over young Pendleton started to
walk. He walked through the large
plate glass in the front door and was
; ne;.rly home when Fireman McBryde
Poqton shook him and waked him up.
; This was the first young Pen<lleton
i knew of his experience. He received
no inujries when he broke through the
glass aoor ana went, mi .? ? '"nc

i Miss Lucretla White, who. lives three
miles north fit tjQwn was in town recently
and remarked that she had as
good an old pair of shoes as most
anybody. Shp remarked that the shoes
she had on were 16 years old. They
were in good conation. , They have
been mended only a few times. We
failed to get what store she bought
them from, or what brand they were.
The $5,000 road maintenance
equipment which No- 6 highway commissioners
bought recently, arrived
last week njad will be put on the roads
as soon as the weather permits. The
equipment consists of a Holt tractor,
scarifier and scrape and will be operated
by Mr. Joe Cabanlss and guards
of the convict force. The highway officials
say the convict labor, mules,
wagon, etc., will be retained until the
fall when it lg expected that this organisation
will be disbanded The
spring term of the Superior court convened
here Monday with Judge McElroy
of Marshall, presiding. W. A.
Gantt of Fallston was made foreman
of the grand Jury. The criminal docket
will no doubt consume several days.

Richards will probably be tried today

a farm four miles north of Shelby has
sat out 300 soft shell pecan trees and
between each tree is a fruit tree of

has a 70 acre farm which he expects
in time to convert into r. large orchard.
- A man by the name of McLean
with his partner Will Norman who
formerly lived in upper Cleveland will
be tried this week in the superior court
for breaking into Putnam's store at'
Waco and stealing a quantity of shoes,
overalls, shirts, etc. McLean is said to
be from Scotland, having come to this
counto' about ten years ago. He
lived around New York for some time
and came south with a carnival company.
Both he and Norman have been
living around Cherryville of late.'
They were given a preliminary hearing
before Recorder Falls and ,bound
over to the superior court.
TOO MANY EMPLOYES
Civil Service Cpee Not Increase Efficiency.
Washington, March ?8,?Belief that
thq civil service is a hindrance to government
efficiency was expressed by
Attorney General Daugherty testifying,
recently Itjefore the house appropriations
committee.
"It is probably a gratuitous suggestion,
but I believe the civil service is
an interference to some extent in the
discharge of public business," said
the attorney general as quoted in the
printed record of the hearing. "About
one-half of the employes in the department
of justice arc under civil
service. While I am attorney general
and while the civil service law is in the
statutes 1 will enforce it and observe
it as I expect to enforce ahd observe
all laws.
"I believe if it were not for the civil
service we could get along with less
than two-thirds of the number of employes
under civil service and probably
get twice as much work out of
them."
Asked by a member to explain just
how that might be done, Mr. Daughterly
said:
"I suppose the department of justice
has as good employes and as
[faithful who are under civil service
as those who are under the civil service
in any other department, but they
are not as anxious generally to be in
place to commence work on the dot as
they are to quit work on the dot. I
would rather take the recommendations
of a political committee, either
Democratic or Republican, a self respecting
committee, for the appointment
of a man or woman than to be
compelled to go through the requirements
of the civil service to secure an
employe. They are hardly as ambitious,
hardly as energetic under the
civil service as are those not under
civil service.
"I discovered both before I came
here as attorney general and since,
'that civil service employes spend too
| much time in trying to work out plans
to make themselves secure in their
position. While this situation can nol
j be remedied at the present time still
I it is worthy of careful study.'.'

UNHAPPY PALESTINE
Strife of Old Has Not Yet Been Com- |
posed.
Lord Northcliffe, British newspaper
publisher, expressed surprise on his
visit, writes a Jerusalem correspondent,
that it was deemed necessary to
meet him and escort him through the
streets with armored cars. He said it <
was a source of wonder to him how 1
little the people of England and Amer- I
ica knew about the conditions exist- I
ing in the Holy land.
Voicing regret that he found Pales- i
tine s<f unhappy he assorted that the }
British public "was imperfectly informed
regarding the feeling in Pales- 1
tine" and he added that he hoped Pales- '
tinians would not move too quidkly :
Palestine .."another Ireland."
1 Lord Northcliffe was. given an op- :
portunity to hear two sides of the f
Zionist 'Question.' A delegation of
Orthodox Jews which waited on him (
protested against Zionism. -Later a j
deputation of Zionists called and re- j
quested an expression from him on the ]
Balfour declaration of Great Britain's | J
intention to maae mis a jewisn numc- |
land. To this latter delegation, the | J
British publisher said:
"No one wishes the Jews to return IJ
to the Holy Land mbre than I do hut [
I have the greatest regret of the need ;
of armored cars. You exaggerate the j
idea that the only topic we have in
England is Zion. Every one does not
agree as yet on the interpretation of j
the Balfour declaration."
He reminded the Zionists that Orth- j
odox Jewry did not concur in the poli- |
tical aims of Zionism us indicated by
the delegation from that faction which
had previously called upon him.
Concluding Lord Northcliffe expressed
the hope that Arabs and 'Jews 1

OBEDIENCE TO LAW
Presidont Harding Say* the Church
Can Exercise Great Power.
Washington, March 24.?The church '
can render no higher service at this
time than to put forth its utmost influence
in behalf of "frank and willsi
ing obedience to the law of the land," a,
President Harding declared tonight In o
Fin address beforfe the Bible class of
Calvary Baptist church. No news- *
paper correspondents were admitted to
the church, but the president's address
