Of the males 37.8 per cent, are farmers and 24 per cent are farm foremen or laborers. Thus more than three-fifths of the occupied males a-'e engaged in agriculture. The number of farmers since 1910 increased 11 per cent, al-1 though laborers on farms decreased 29 ?per cent. This decrease is due to the negro exodus of the last ten years. South Carolina women are engaged j in all vocations except engineers, ma- j chinists, plum'bers and soldiers. There j is one female blacksmith in South Carolina. Professions of women increased. In 1910 there were no carpenters, chauffeurs, firemen or street laborrs among women. Now there are representatives of each. In only one instance have professions decreased. In 1910 there was a single female stone mason in South Carc-lina. South Carolina males nee engaged in all listed professions except that of | dressmakers. In 1910 there were three male dressmakers in the state, j Thirty-four thousand South Caro- j linians are engaged as laborers in j cotton mills, indicating the impor-j tance of that industry. An unusual j feature of South Carolina's statistics is that preachers in the state are more j numerous than lawyers, doctors, tele- j jr Aiphone operators or trained nurses.-!

This committee was chesy e'n at the statewide tax rtej'.ir;: here t December 14. d; Need fcr immediate action being apparent, the executive committee de0 cided to held meeting in cj.h county 3 in the state, and with that in view 0 directed each member of the state e executive committee to appoint a chairman of the counties in his dis' trict, who will be expected to arrange '? for and hoid the meeting, at which d meeting some one will explain to the ?- taxpayers the program for their ap'? proval. | Ways and Means i The program which will be pro posed to the legislature will suggest ways and means by which the state property tax may be reduced freni ^ 40 to 50 per cent, and at the same time equalize the burden of taxation, so that the tax iburden on property will be gradually reduced. Acting under instructions from the d Taxpayers' association, the executive j. committee is prepared to suggest to 0 the taxpayers the following program e for new sources of revenue: Gasoline y tax, $600,000; occupation tax, $350,e 000; inheritance tax, $250,000; int. crease in the corporation license tax, $250,000; increase in the pu'blic service corporation franchise tax, $300,7. 000; income tax, $1,000,000, and >_ luxury tax, $150,000. If the general ?_ assembly will enact the above tax laws e it will produce approximately $2,j QfIA nnn + ?avs. The gasoline tax will be applied to lS road maintenance and will take the d place of the two mill property tax for roads. The occupation tax will be placed on occupations and profes sions not otherwise taxed, such, for e instance, as brokers, etc. A graduat* ed inheritance tax, the details of which will be worked out by the legise lature, will raise considerable rever.ue. An increase in the corporation J, license tax from one to two mills was 11 recommended, and also an increase in | the public service corporation fran chise tax from three to five mills. The committee favors a luxurv tax. ( i Rigid Economy (j j The committee repeated the reccm jmendation of the meeting ot tr.e tax e ' association that most rigid economy _ be used in the state government. ci II In studying the tax situation, the j 'committee is convinced that one of ^ the causes of complaint is due to the fact that the people themselves have . voted special levies for local purn poses, which, in many instances, far .exceed the amount necessary for state v purposes. Therefore, the committee I earnestly recommended most rigid economy in county expenditures. A committee reoresentine the Co .

The mute, according to the father, has been deaf and dumb since his -birth and had never learned to read J or write. The son possesses a bright mind, however, the father said, but, among strangers he is absolutely , helpless in expressing his thougts,! signs being the only method he has ; of communicating with others. Mr. Ward said he would have sent Fred to a deaf and dumb school had not the doctor told him that the boy | had a good chance to learn to hear and talk. ! Unable to tell pec-ple where he lives ' or in any manner to describe his plight to strangers Fred is in sore need somewhre, the father believes, and he is muc'.i worried over what mav happen to the unfortunate son.

This arrangement was determined upon by his son, Henry Watterson, Jr., because of the siate of health of his mother, he deeming it inadvisable for her to go to Louisville during the winter. The Rev. J. T. Boone, pastor of the First Christian church of this city, will officiate at the service. Colonel Watterson, who with his family came here from Louisville three weeks ago to spend the winter, passed away as a result of heart trouble, superinduced by bronchial congestion, after an illness of only a few hours. With their son and daughter and several grandchildren present, Tnlnnpl and Mrs. Watterson celebrat ed their 56th wedding anniversary in their apartment Tuesday. During the day Colonel Watterson contracted a slight cold, which was not regarded seriously but yesterday forenoon he suffered an acute bronchial attack / and was ordered to bed immediately by his physician. Colonel Watterson suffered very little but was in a comatose eondition the gre-ater part of time from early in the evening until he d;ed, with brief periods of consciousness during which his mind was perfectly clear. At midnight he realized the end was near but his sen, who with his mother and sister was at the bedside constantly, said he did not discuss it other than to say he was ready to go. His wife was alone with him during the last few minutes of consciousness and hex passed away in her arms. Hundreds of messages of condolence were received today Jby Mrs. Watterson from friends of Colonel Watterson and newspaper men in all parts cf the country who were trained under "Marse Henry." One, particularly touching, was from Arthur Krock editor of Louisville Times. "Jim and I are weeping for the death of old Marster," it read. "Jim" is Jim Wilson, aged negro ser vant who has lived at the Wattcison i 1* nome ior many years. Col. E. Vv\ Bingham, publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal, learn-" ed of Colonel Watterson's death when , he arrived here late today en route to ILibar.r.. He immediately sought Mrs. Watterion to offer'his condolences. ' Ju:-. Wat terse n had a very full life, filled with honors, accomplishments and achievement," srid Colonel Bingham.

In .many lands and among every class he numbered his admirers and friends and the bright flame of his mind, the mellow glow of his charm were undimmed to the last. Many will mourn him, many will remerrfber him with affection. The intellectual world has felt his power and he leaves no successor in that news- 1 paper world of which he was the undisputed chief." From Miami came a tribute ior tne soldier-journalist from William Jennings Bryan. "The country will learn with deep regret the death of Henry Watterson," said Mr. Bryan. "His ability, long experience, his picturesque style and his impressive and genial personality gave him a conspicuous place among the nation's jcurnalists.
