Section One Pages 1 g 8 XLI MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1921 CLARENDON E[L[GATION HARD HIT BY DEATH House Spends Much Time in Memorial Service for the Late > W. T. P. Sprott Columiba, Jan. 25.-Prolonged de bate as to Vether the word "not" slhould be inserted in a bill, clearing 1 of the calendar, refusal to reconsider I the Owens-Evans resolution extending the time for the payment of taxes un til May 15 and providing for a grad- I uated penalty, and memorial exercises I to the late W. T. P. Sprott of Clar- t endon County, member of tie House, I who died Christmas night of last year, consumed the time of the House of Representatives today. Last year an act allowing the com mon schools of the rural districts to insure in mutual companies was passed, but through a mistake in en grossing the word "not" was left out, making the- bill provide that only schools in incorporated towns could insure ip-the mutual companies. To carry .ut the original intention of the General Assembly Mr. Owens, of Marlboro, introduced a bill, which re ceived a divided committee report, the majority of the members being un favoraole to its adoption. However, when the measure went under fire of debate today, and when the zero hpur was reached followed a prolonged barrage, the Warriors for the bill achievod victory by a vote of 45 to 42, ..nd the hill was ordered to third reading. Under the present law the publie school buildings are insured in the Sinking Fund Commission. Extenmion of Tax Payments The joint resolution providing a graduated penalty and an extension 1 of the time for paying taxes until May 15, when the sheriffs of the coun ties will issue executions, was passed I by the House last night and sent to I the Senate. Mr. Evans, of Marlboro, attempted to have the measure called from the Senate for the purpose of further de bating it, but hi sefforts were futile. The measure as passed )rovides a penalty of 1 per cent for Panuary for failure to pay taxes, 2 per cent for February, 3 per cent for March, 4 per cent for April and 7 per cent for the period between May 1 and May 15. bl r. Curtis, of Clarendon, paid a glowing tribute to the memory of his late colleague, W. T. P. Sprott,. who, lhe said, was a nan above reproach, a Christian gentleman In every sense of the word. His efforts, lie declared, were untiring in behalf of the up building of his county and his State and he worked indefatigably in their interest. ie was a consistent member of the Methodist church, a Mason, a business man of unexcelled chaareter 1 and a counsellor of wisdom. Mr. Allen, likewise of th'e Clarendon delegation, and a long-time friend of the deceased member, declared that he was filled with grief that this lov able man, kindly citizen and sane ad visor was not longer spared the State. Mr. Belser, of Sumter, who served with Mr. Sprott in the House, said that lie was not an ostentatious mem ber, but was active in everything which was progressive and added the quiet weight of his activity to things which were for the betterment of his county and his State. Mr. Atkinson, of Spartanburg, also paid tribute to Mr. Sprott. } ,peaker Cothran, in adjourning the i Uouse in honor of the member of the ite Mr. Snrott, feelingly declared that a pain struck his heart when he i looked at the seat formerly occupied I by him. "Our deceased friend was a man of gentle disposition and courte ous manner and his devotion to his county and his State, lead me to en dorse without reservation the kind words heard here today. The Clarendon dlelegation has suf-. fered several dleaths other than that of Mr. Sprott (luring thme past few years, the late Senator Louis Appelt, wvho died in 1915; the late Representative J. H. Lesesne, who (lied in 1918; and the late Representative W. W. John son, who dlied in 19119. The committee on commerce andl manufacture (delivered an unfavorable report on the bill by Mr. O'Rourke, of Charleston, creating sthe position of in. spector of boilers for the State, to be connected with the dlepartment of agriculture. .Thme House today rejected a concur.. reuit resolution calling on thme United States government to disarm, providod.1 all the other nationa of the earth did likewise. Elections will be held by the General Assembly tomorirow at nmoon beginning vith that of Associate Justice .Judges of the Fifth, Seventh, Ninth and Tenth Circuits likewise will he filled. A su perintendlent of the State penitentinry 1mnd a chief gamie warden will be elected. The directors of the State hpenitentiary and1( four trustees of the 'State Medical College will be elected. The Hiouse wvill meet again in the morning at 11 o'clock. NOTICE TIO EX-SERVICE MEN We have in hand comething over (two hundred ($200.00) Dollars yet for the Y. M. C.

It is also very gratifying to know that the teachers keep in close touch with parents by visiting them as much as possible, and we believe the time is ripe for us to begin to con eentrate and unite several of the out lying schools with the one here which would be the means of better instrue ti is by having one teacher to one grlde, longer term by uniting the funds and running the full nine m1onths each year and let all begin at once to concentrate on the high school and surely in a year or so A nice build ing could be erected for this purpose. We have just touched briefly Oil some of the things that has been ac conplished during the past few months and in our Opinion one of the ma in reasons for this progress isI largely due to the goodness of the teachers and surely we mean no re flection or criticism of the school and its teachers in previous years for we have for many years had a good school but it is often said there is alvays room for improvement.

SPIRITED DEBATE IS HELD ininittee Makes Unfavorable Report on Bil fto Censor Motion Pictures. Columbia, Jan., 24.--The House of presentatives tonight decisively "ml'ed its dissapproval on individual anties having a free ran'ge by re ting bills, exempting Georgetown aufort counties from the general >ek law. A bill by J. Iutto West, Georgetown county, calling for a !e range was rejected by a vote of to 28 and one by J. C. Bailey, of aufort, exempting the townships of massee and Bluffton from the pro dons of the law was rejected by a Le of 45 to 32. The Bailey bil lalready had received secon( reading without a contest en an extended debate on the West sure was precipitated. After the orgetown bill had been defeated the iley bill was reconsidered and rown out. The split in the Georgetown (elega n on the question of the stock law iight precipitated a general (lebate which many members participated. mn after the House convened after sting from last Friday. H illard Tredell of Georgetown, in ; argument said that three elections d been held in the county on the estion of free range, the first going , a stock law by a majority of 57 d the second by a majority of 200. e i'st election had been declared gal. The third election resulted in victory for the free rangers. This t election, he declared "to have been rmeated with rotten politics" and _s illegal, although allowed to stand. A\rguing that the development of the nty depended on its being under , geieral stock law which was ssed by the last General Assembly d (lirectedr Georgetown County to me mider its provisions October 1, 20, Mr. Iillard contended for the iection of the West bill. Ile said it there could be no adequate stock sing in the county unless the rang were? inclosed, for cattle ranging er the coiunty detcrioratel in strain (I in many instances brands other In that (of the owner were often put new-born cattle and shoats. Arguing from the moral aspects Mr hard contended tiat it was not right 4 or legal for one man to pay taxes 1.1000 acres of land and his next [r neigh bor, who has one acre, to ve the same privileges n the larger wt th-it its owlner had. !le likewise 'lared that there were many acres S'e ared himd in his county that were cultivated because of the free range owners mot caring to be put to the pense of inclosing large tracts and less they did this romiing cattle' miild destroy their crops. The speaker read a number of let s from men in Georgetown county ving that it woud he a istAke to impt the county from the general ick law.
