?aWMMPI? r TAXES?THE "OLD MAN" OF THE SEA Calhoun Times. No man enjoys paying taxes. Ev? erybody harps about high taxation. Many are naked tax-dodgers hut when you try to lay the axe at the root of the tree there .are always beneficiaries and lieutenants on hand to fight for the retention of every useless ' . office and bureau unless it is a poor little truant officer with no lobby at his back. If there ever was a time when a retrenchment from the high war levels was necessary it was last winter. What happened? The legislature did nothing. Governor Cooper, a nice, handsome and pleasant genI tleman, but sadly lacking in the genius for interpreting the psychological element of the people* recommended an appropriation of ten millions of dollars for state expenditures. When a howl went up all over the state, a taxpayers convention met in Columbia and demanded relief. Those who attended that convention brought away some new angles of human na-i ture. They thought they had a right as sovereign taxpayers to demand economy from their accredited representatives. One old gentleman by the name of Leopard, a member of the' house from Pickens, snarlingly asked | Mr. Dabbs why he did not offer for; the legislature from. Sumter cou .ty,1 if dissatisfied. Mr. E. T. Hugnes,' \ chairman of the ways.and means com! mittee from Marion, and Mr. Claude Sapp, another member from Richland county also a member of the committee, waxed hot and furious. Tears ran down their florid cheeks. Their eyes shot red like balls from a skyrocket and the veins in their patriotic necks bulged like huge pipe stems as they ranted over the efforts of the bolshevists to maim and cripple our state institutions. Brother Sapp immortalized a spotted mule that he, as a poor, industrious boy, rode 'bare-back to the little water mill with a peck of corn on a Saturday afternoon for the family grinding. What a pity no urn was available to preserve the tears of weeping Hughes and that no donation of the bones of brother Sapp's little mule was made to a musoum as an inspiration to the struggling youth ?vf +V?o /?r?nn+rv Tr? shnw thpir cnn tempt for the wild arid wooly crusaders, who paid their own expenses in their journeyings to and from Columbia, in their efforts for relief, Messrs. Hughes and .Sapp the erstwhile barefoot, struggling, "onegallus" boys, now full grown, well a groomed, shining lights of the elite plutocracy, on the same night, rushed their appropriation bill through the house with practically no reduction and refused to wait for further consultation from the light weights of the styx. Shakespeare says something about these fellows who cut 1 such fantastic tricks before high heaven that they make the angels weep. On one occasion Napoleon, when he wanted more money appealed to Cariiot, his minister of finance. "Sire," said Caraot, "the only way to pluck this tax goose is to pluck up to the point where he squawks no further. Then let him rest till feathers grow acain.'' ?0 Our self-constituted political bosses are not as wise as Carnot and decided to let the goose squawk. There may be some significance in the f<fct that the Blease corpse is being revived according to newspaper report. For various reasons, however, Blease * is not tiie proper. man and cannot again lead a successful political revolution. The harvest is ripe but the reaper is yet to be found. Had Governor Cooper announced, like Governor Miller of New York, that the Avirrnn/>*nc ck rvnrvr*ln lir V/JL t/HV ^/VV|/iV ? V4 v v%* gent and expenditures must come back to pre-war levels he would have done the fair and equitable thing and itrenehed himse'f in the confidence and gratitude of the people. Instead, he recommended the utterly ridiculous increase of three millions of dollars additional. He is the same governor who, in a recent speech, advocated cancellation of the debts due the United States by France and England, when magazines tell us that France, already, is in the wildest frenzy of extravagance in fashions and dissipations ever known. / Mrs. Ruth Pauline (Bittle) Holland (Read by Dr. A. J. Bowers at the funeral of Mrs. Holland.) The termination of this dear lady's i earthly life (Juno 14th, 1021, Sta':e Fark, Columbia, S. C.) breaks another link in the golden chain which binds us to a blessed and beloved past. Newberry and Newberry college would be without a compensation. / hurt and poor indeed, if they were robbed of the name and memory of Dr. George W. Holland and his selfsacrificing labors. This gentle, qiiiet. Christian woman shared all his joys and sorrows, and often, doubtless, cheered his discouraged heart and helped sustain his flagging faith. His life and work would have been all inTH5Ynplete without her pure compan"V n?Tn~rrwr mm?nrmrn I ionship. Wife t<? a jrreat man an< . colletre president, and daughter :< {another equally as .irreat, Dr. 1 ?it! 1 c I first prescient of K?>am?ke collet', ii her remarkable fortitude and bravi endurance of sudden suffering an< the shocks of human trajredy sh< 1 ?u.. U?4U snowed a spun vi mv.ii kvh. The quick death of their noble boy youn?r Robert, and the instant })erio( of her devoted hu.-band's life, seem ed too much for frail mortality t< bear, but the consecrated dignity wit! which she passed safely these (ier\ trials jrave evidence of a power bu rarely seen in men or women, j When, six months a^o, in th( stranjre providence 01 ninn.mu^ w -?*. I she was called by the ravages of : dread disease to leave a bright am lovinjr home to enter the hospital foi all so terribly afflicted, it was a hea\\\ blow, heavy for herself not only, but for her friends as well. Now" Death has touched her srently and kisseil her eyelids down, and she has fallen asleep in Jesus. From a kind and patient company she has passe; 1 out " * * 1 1 * -T i. L ^ and into tne jriaa mronjr oi uie udeemed in heaven. She cherished human friendships; who more? and she has discovered it to be divine. We may confidently believe she enjoys at once the full fruition of the Christian's faith. It will be lon.tr ere wi can lose the recollection of her gentle worth, which lends sweet fragrance to the memory of a pure wo manhood: and it is the fond prayer of all of us here that when we, too, shal: have experienced that breathless ! transition from one world to another .there may be some, in forgiving fa, vor for the frailties of our commoi lot and in praise of every virtue, t< call us blessed in the fuil freedom o1 a trulv loval and unselfish love. :?: TEACHERS WANTED T"? ?- A * CM <.?T.aa I xnt trustees i>i oavuisnvci. ov n?.v> ! will receive applications for thre< teachers, principal and two assistants until June 5, 1021.
