C., WEDNESDAY, KEBRUARY 16, 1921 'INHERITANCE BI[L PASSED BY HOUSE Refuses to Dispense With Office of Gaine Warden TIUANT OFFICER REPORT Tomorrow -Set for Election of Asso ciate Justice-Resolutions for Judge Gage Columbia, Feb. 15.-The House this morning passed the inheritance tax bill which was advocated by Governor Cooper. ThO House refused to strike out the enacting words by a vote of 90 to 12 and later advanced the bill on the calendar. The bill provides for a tax on in heritance to husbands, wives, children and grandchildren of 1 per cent on heritances up to $20,000 above exemp tions; 2 per cent to $40,000; 3 per cent up to $80,000; 4 per cent to $150,000 5 per cent to $300,00, and 6 per cent over $300,000. The measures also proves that in heritances for brothers, sisters, uncles, nieces or nephews would be taxed ratio with 1 per cent added in each case. The bill also provides for exemp tions in minor amendments as fol lows: For a husband ot' wife $10, 000; for a minor child $7,500, and for every adult child $5j000. Representative Belser, of Sumter op posed the bill, being the only member to speak, against it. His argument was that the measure wouki only tax a few citizens and also that the machinery of enforcement would be a burden on the people. Col.. Galbraith Speaks The balance of the morning session was consumed with a discussion of uncontested bills for %nird and second readings which were advanced with out delay. At 12.20 o'clock the joint a'ssembly heard Co. Galbraith, commander of the National American Legion in a discussion of the problems confront ing the ex-soldiers who participated in the World War. During the night- session the House r'sumed consideration of the calen dar and rejected the pronosal to abol ish the State Game Warden. The was 54 to 39. A concurrent resolution providing for an election of the successor to the late 'Associate Justic George W. Gage, Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court, and for a code com nissionei' now held by .J. C. McClure, of Chtester, will be held Thursday of this week. The resolution provides that the election for Associate Jus tice will be continued fr'om day to (lay until a successor is decidel on. At present there are eleven announced candidates in the race to succeed Jus tice Gage and the supposition is that the election will continue - until at least the latter of the week. The bill introduced in the Seitate by Senator Wightman and passed by that body received a divided report tonight by the committee on educatiol. This bill which had previously been acted on favorably by tne House, pro vides for the abolition of the truant officer. By an overwhelming vote the House previously had passed a companion measure which abolishes this office and places the responsibili ity of enforcement of the attend ance law on the boards of trustees of the schools and the County Super intenldeJts of Education. Public Service Commission The ways and means committee sub mitted a favorable report on the Pub lic Service Commission bill which pro vides for a per diem for the three commlissioners dlifferntiating froimt he House bill which was returned to the same committee on the objectionl that the three commissioners receivel sal aries. The piresenlt bill priovides $10 a dlay for the three commissioners, Messrs. Banks, D~eLoach and Earle, wvhile they areC inl session, including their expeiise account. The original b~ill as introducedl would give .tihe Chairman Mr. Banks $3,500 a yearnand the other twvo commissioners $2,500 each a year. These provisionls wvere both reduced and elinminated b)y the House and~ thle Senate.

Her many friends ca wvere delighted to see her and express cip in person their delight at her grand in: success. Miss Barron returned to her post of duty yesterday. Quite an unexpected and romantic marriage occurred in Charleston about 11 o'clock last Thursday night, the aontracting parties being Mr. Allen C. Bradham of Manning and Miss Willie Wright, of Clayton, Ala. A few' veeks ago Miss Wright came to Man ling to visit the family of Mr. D. M. Bradham, and renew an (old family riendship that existed years ago, and rithough the young Mr. Bradham had lever met her before, yet only a few lays sufficed for him to become a vie Am of eut)id's arrowq. A case of love it first sight was at once set up, and :o the young suitors' happy delight was soon reciprocated. Like most ,oung lovers who woo and win, o ire, wooed and won, they told not heir secret, but it could not altogeth !r be hidilen that cupid was getting n some good work. When the young . -ouple boarded a train last Thursday flternoon to go to Kingstree to at .end a reception no one Alreamed of ,he plans that were so well laid, and I t was a surprise the next day when he young groonm's father received a Lelegrarm from Charleston announe ng their marriage and requesting ,abt they le met at the train the next uorning. Instead of going to King stre they went on to Charleston and Irove to the residence of the Rev. J. Walter Daniel, who performed tle! narriage ceremony, and the next day he happy young couple proceeded to bil mjoy themselves taking in the city. i Yesterday tht- large bell at the thi Noses Levi Memorial Institute got th oose from its fastenings and came be lown through the belfry, crashing be vith its ponderous weight all before t and buried itself into the auditor- re 1aum floor, splintering the overhelad Piu -eiling of the first floor. Fortunately tt aone of the children were near and liin to further damage than fright to the r ittle ones was had. for 0- pul PUBLIC IEALTH NOTES liet Owing to the great am<,unt of ill-lIii iess in the County the nurse devoted Ihe first half of this mointh to anursing 1 pa ind in addition to the regular eight 19 iour day, la- spent her Sunday after- tIt oonas with sick children in order that .he mother might get out of the sick a -oom.
