^ Anderson Daily Mail, 16th.
Some 250 to 300 taxpayers rey<
* sponded to.the call of Capt. G. W.
Sullivan when the taxpayers meeting
-was called to order at the court house
The purpose of the meeting was to
protest against extravagance in the
expenditure of public moneys, and
to request the delegation to keep the j
t tax levy asloW as possible this year, j
f. The meeting was; opened with
prayerby Dr. John ELJWMte. Captain j
fife Sullivan presided over thp meeting]
and stated the object of the meeting, y
Senator T. Frank Watklns was the }
jtfv first speaker. He told of the enor-'
#> inoua difference in the taxes of 1919 j
W' aad -192& He called attention to
\ some ofthegreat increase, to wit:
Increase pensions $300,000.

Increase for Winthrop, $216,000.
Increas^' university, $150,000.
Increase Citadel, <?300,000.
Increase asylum, $300,000. {
The figures do not represent the'
appropriations but the increase in'
- the appropriations of last year over
1919. Mt. Watkins said that he J
' thought a reduction could' surely be
effected in these items.
-P?* Wllfte introduced the
foUowirfg- Msojatton , f
Kesolved, That it is the mind of
this citizens of An-!<
tutions tire legislature should eonsid- j
er the needs and claims of the com-!
mon sc hools and the "work of teacher j ,
training for these schools as the first,
and foremost necessity of the people
* of the state to be cared for and that
in the present situation, the institu*
tiorts of higher education should de- '
fer to thi^^eat necessity.
Mr. W, H. Cafrfield read a report
*. of the board or charities and correc
tion? which sounded quite extravagant.
He called attention to the fact;
that there are too many boards in
the state, and that they cost too much money
to maintairt.
9bur of v the Anderson representa-J
tives?Harris, Dickson, Ballard and j
Hall?--were present and stated that!
they thought the meeting was right
about the matter and that they would
work for economy.
Ex-Senator Sherard introduced the
following resolution, which was unanimously
carried:
. Resolved, That it is the sense of
\ this meeting that there should be uo
increase' in theHax levies for 1921
and that'the total appropriations for.
all purposes should not be greater
' than the$ were in. 1920. And if possible
to decreased.
Resolved, further, That in ' the
j opinion of this meeting, the budget
commission act should be amended
; so as to limit its membership to mem-1
bers of the ways and means commit- ]
tee of the house, the finance commit- i
tee of tjie senate and the comptroller
general."/

MASKED ROBBERS |i
SLAY JEWELERI
ESCAPE WITH LOOT WORTH
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
No Shot Heard and Three Men Made
Successful Getaway in Crowd.
of Mv*t??rv. !
New York. Dec. 16.?Three maskled
robbers entered the rooms of a
jewelry concern on the eighth floor
of an office building in the heart of
the Fifth avenue shopping district
this afternoon shot and killed Edwin
W. Andrews, a member of the
firm, boui\d and gagged three other
men and. escaped with jewels valued !
at $1^<M)00.
Ste. r. from the crowds of
Christmas'shoppers passing the building?located
-between Forty-fourth
and Forty-fifth streets in the center
of a group of .department stores,
banks and exclusive shops?the men
took the elevator ta the floor upon
which Andrews', firm*'has offices. Mr.
Andrews was alone.
Just wjgt occurred, police, investigating:
tfie case, have been unable
to determine. They believe that. An-j
drews attempted to close the door
of the safe and that one of the men
shot him. No shot was heard in *
nearby offices and Andrews was dead i
when found. (
Luke Mulligan, a messenger, was *
the first to disturb the robbers. As T
he entered he was grabbed, bound, (
gagged and thrown on the floor beside
Andrews. Two salesmen, Arthur
Merthe of Newark and Vincent Prov- ^
enzano, entered soon afterward and
met with the same treatment.
The two salesmen entered separately.
They earned sample eases
of jewelry. The robbers "covered" U:
them with a gun?believed to hUve jj,
been a long barreled revolver or j ^
sawed off rifle, fitted with a silencer
?and took their cases. ' While two ^
of the bandits bound the salesmen,"-a jr
third rifled the safe. *
Provenzano and Merte later crawl- ?(
ed into the hallway, whiere they were n
found. A woman stenographer from p
a nearby office discovered the two
salesmen and her cries brought oth- ^
ers, none of whom had heard any j
- - ? - ^ ? I
shot. Police, nowever, iouna an ^
empty cartridge in the room. p
Police believe the'three men who g.
were described as having - the appearance
of foreigners, walked down t,
the stairs to ?he street and there j
escaped by mingling tlirough the e
crowds. ' ^
New York, Decft 16.?The murder a
of Edwin W. Andrews, a Fifth ave- p
nue jeweler, and the theft of jewels tl
valued at $100,000 today lead repre- p
sentative jewelers and silversmiths r
at a meeting1 here tonight to adopt 5
a resolution cabling upon Governor p
Smith to take "immediate and ener- a
getic steps to cause the proper au- v
thorities to furnish necessary pro- t
