"The tax coriimissi'bn has always been in favor of new sources of rev-' enue and I am of the opinion that the movement started Wednesday is the greatest yet begun in South Carolina," Mr. Query said. "The program outlined by the conference is of iwinA^onnn on/1 Will 1+ 1 Tl g L Cd c iiuyuiiau^c cih\A ?> ; n ? good for the state." These new sources of revenue recommended to the general assembly would afford temporary relief until the constitutional changes necessary have been made, Mr. Query added.

POLITICAL DOPE IS ORDER OF THE DAY Next Year's Campaigns to Be Lively. Talk of Candidates for Congress Is Heard Greenwood Index-Journal. As the old year draws to a close and the new year looms in uil* umug there is talk of all kinds about what will happen "next year" and despite the hard times dope and kindred topics one can hear lots of political talk here and there. At one time it looked as if there would be a dozen candidates for governor next year but recently there was more denying and withdrawnig than rushing in. Some of the politically wise ones have it doped out that Blease turned in a sort of fire alarm 1 - -1?-1 4- n r\f politically elllU tllcil/ a jjuhvjr wi ?uw. ful waiting is the thing to do. One of the rumors going the rounds is that Hon. A. Frank Lever, now a member of the federal loan board is about the only sure bet in the way of a candidate for governor other than Blease; but Blease has been known to' withdraw after stating that he would run and mere are muse \wiu a-iiicmuci that. Mr. Lever has, it is reported, a , salary at present much larger than he ;would receive as Governor and also raw IViMHWCTJBBMBWHBBBCBM?MB?M F?" vorth up i it is a sure thing. He may figure a Hong time ibefore taking a plunge in (the South Carolina political waters. Race For Congress i Recently there has been much talk of a three cornered race in the Third congressional district. The talk is that Congressman Fred Dominick may have at least two candidates to oppose him next year, the two being Attorney General Sam Wolfe of Anderson and Hon. Sam Sherard of "Aimtr r>nw n mpmber of I VJ ICClin vuu v^/v*?*vj9 .. ? the legislature. Some time ago it was rumored that State Senator Frank Watkins of Anderson was figuring on making the race but lately the dope is that he is not interested this time. Attorney General Wolfe was a member of the Anderson bar and made a fine run for the attorney general's place. He was re-elected last year without opposition. General Wolfe is a graduate of Furman univ ersity and was a winner 01 tne oratorical medal in Greenwood while a college student. The general opinion seems to be that Anderson county will be the battle ground in any real congressional contest so it is an interesting question as to how strong General Wolfe is in the county in which | he is a legal resident. I Hon. Sam Sherard of this county, jwho is spoken of in the rumors as a ^ * '3 Iiri-f Vi CI ovn 1 Wrtlfp. ( CailUlUaLC mm ? , will not at this time state positively whether he will be in the race or not. That is, he will not deny it and he J will not admit it as a positive fact but f:iends who are close to him say that j he will be in the race beyond the shadow of a doubt next year. Mr. Sherard is a graduate of Clemson and an enthusiastic Clemson ! alumnus. Not long after graduation he went to Europe as a special agri j cultural inspector and spent much time in England and in continental Europe studying farm problems, credit, markets, etc. He went on through India, Egypt, China and Japan and to the Philippines where he spent four and a half years as a special government agricultural director. As a member of the house he has already won a high reputation and is a member of the- ways and means committee. Ke is a most active campaigner 1.1*-./^ v>i'c? fyionrJc nr,o^ir?t that if hp froes emu. mo xx ic.iuu ^ *- ^ w ~ --- 0 into the race he will be a factor. Dominick Will Run It is presumed that Congressman Fied Dominick will stand for re-election. He is serving his third term now and made a strong show in last year's primary. He has a strong hold in his notivo rnnntv of Newberrv and of I course has made many friends since his fi^st election. He is regarded as a campaigner of power and he would not be idle if he had two opponents against him next year. There is not much talk of contests in other districts though one rumor has it that Congressman H. P. Fuller , is going to have some fight on his I hands precipitated by Hon. Claude N. iSapp of Columbia. Mr. Sapp is a i former resident of Lancaster but he | now lives in Columbia where he has ^become a political figure of note. It lis rumored that he is going after ;Fulmer's seat with a vengeance. ' An interesting side issue on this probable fight is the reported contest which is said to be certain on Circuit Judge Bowman of Ornageburg. Tho (report is that Hon. M. M. Mann, well 'known and liked in this section now, j clerk of the state senate, is going to ,be a most formidable opponent for Judge Bowman when the latter comes up for reelection in the general asc* n m K1 \7 i All in all there seems to be plenty 1 of political excitement ahead for next :year and when it is remembered that the women are going to take part in the primary it will be Seen that there will be lots of interesting features to j & the campaign. mmm Reunion at Cross Keys j Union Times. At the home of our old veteran, Mr. K. C. Whitmire, at Cross Keys, a re union was held Xov. 27, 1921. in honor of the famous old Co. K. 5th S. C. Cavalry. i Only four are living. Owing to the very bad weather, only Mr. Whitmirc and his comrade, Capt. M. M. Buforci of Newberry, could attend. Captain ;Buford made the day enjoyabie, minj fried with many merry jokes and wai I ~ I j tales of experiences witnessed by; '.these two honorable men. | The hardships of warfare, who had i; j stood side by side, stood on picket,: i never separated for any great while I at a time. Their experiences were snreat. Captain Buford made the trip i? I from Newberry in a Buick driven by | his grandson. Mr. Pope Connelly, via Clinton, Cross Anchor, Cross Keys, ; despite the heavy rain, returning via J Union and Whitmire. J We were delighted to find this ex- j ioellent, honorable gentleman in such : I i ihigh spirits, well and active. Mr. Bu-;: I fnvW in Vn'c vprsation did not want i *** . _ J to take any honors as to his bravery,. level-headedness. His thriftiness, how he could work the slight of hand with < the chickens and other good things to feed his hungry vets. Even remark- ; ed that he was not a "brave man," "just ambitious. This was denied , by one who had known him a'l through his career. "A braver, more . noble, splendid soldier never shouldered a gun." If he had been in the world war he would have been dec orated with many lovely medals for the many things he did. J ', We must mention two ether close! friends that added much to the en-J; joyment of this day: Mr. W. Y. Dil lard of Cross Anchor and Mr. El Huff i of Enoree. These proved to be men;i of the sixties of splendid character.,! Also his children and grand-children.; Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Whitmire of En-^ ; I oree, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Whitmire and j children, Sara and William, Miss An-; nie Whitmire and Mrs. Rosa W. Bish- J op and Pierce Bishop. An old country dinner was served, j Southern style.
