Whether Mr. Daugherty spoke too
quickly or whether the President
{concluded that the announcement of
his candidacy came from the wrong
source.‘will probably never be known.
In cases like this, however, the high
.man always wins, and the attorney
general will probably have to admit
(sooner or later that ne was at fault.

[ " MISS FLORA CARMICHAEL. ^
j Miss Flon Cirnycliuel. a former
j resident of Marion, died Tuesday night
! at the home <>f her nephew. Mr. J. D.
I Murchison, of Florence, with wild??
; she had res ded for many years. The j
i body was brought to Marion Wednes- ‘
J day morning and was interred in the 1
i Murchison lot at Rose IIl’l Cemetery !
J Wednesday afternoon. Dr. J. M. liolla- I
; day, pasior or the Presbyteri anchurch ,
; conducted services at the grave. A
; large gathering of friends and rel* :
■ lives and the many beautiful floral
{tributes only partially indicated the |
| esteem in which Miss Carmichael was i
i held in her old home town. The do- ■
I ceased was born at Little Rock, old !
] Marion county in Julv 1847. thus be- j
mg almost 76 years * age when the *
death angel called. Many years ago ;
she came to Marion and nmde her \
home with her sister, Mrs. Duncan
Murchison, and at the ^entn of Mi %
Murchison faithfully and lov'ngly spent
her days in caring for and bringing
♦o manhood the two Murchison boys,
, Messrs. William Murchison, of D lion,
and John I). Murchison, of Florence. I.
I Miss Carmichael was modest, gentle j
Christian woman, whose life was com- 1
ered in those nearest and clearest to |
her, but despite her retiring dispo- 1
sition she had p large number of
'lifelong triends who are sorely grieved
at her death.
Miss Carmichael had been in failing
health for a long time, and her deatii
was not unexpected. A large number
of friends and relatives from Marlboro
and Dillon counties attended the
funeipi.

There- are two very Important
jelectiohs to.be held In Florence on
April' 16. On that day Florence vot
ers will choose a mayor and city
'council to administer the affairs of
Florence for the next two years un-
jder the commission form of govern-
tnent. On April 10 also there is to
pe voted upon the question of issuing
bonds to retire the Indebtedness on
thp city schools, a debt that has al
ready been incurred by unanimous
(expression of a great mass meeting,
and a debt that can more cheaply be
retired with bonds than without
them. Only two more days remain
for registration for these elections.
Friday and Saturday. There are
many people in Florence who have
not prepared themselves to vote.
They are urged to attend to this duty
now so that they will have the oppor
tunity of voicing their opinion at the
polls on April 10.
TY TAXES. INCLUDING POLL
TAX. ASSESSED AGAINST HIM
AND COLLECTIBLE DURING THE
YEAR PREVIOUS TO THE ELEC
TION. Applying this specifically to
this election, if a voter presents a
registration certificate and shows
that either he or sne had no tax as
sessed against him or her for the
previous year, such voter is entitled
to vote. In the case, however, cf a
voter who has a state or county tax
assessed against him or her, the
proof must be produced of the pay
ment of such tax on or before De
cember 31. 1922. Under the Consti
tution the registration certilcate of
any voter offering to vote must not
have been issued WITHIN THIRTY
DAYS of the date of the election and
must be dated subsequent to July 1,
1918.

Florence has opportunities of
which Us citizens have not even
dreamed. As the boys go by these
opportunities unfold themselves,
sometimes too late, howevfty to be
realived. Fortunately we are awak
ing to Ahis fact in Florence and it is
not likely that tbe business men of
this city will allow themselves to be
come mere witnesses of the great
march that .progress Is making
throughout the entire country. Hard
hit. everybody knows that, but it Is
a mighty poor man that takes the
count, and It cannot be Intimated that
anybody here is ready to see the
towel drop.. In the past we have been
tdo much In the receptive mood, re
lying too strongly on what geography
and the Atlantic ('oast Line have
done for us. In the meantime other
towns find cities less favorable have
been going after things. That is
what we will have to do here. There
was a time when we did not believe
in exemption of taxes and free sites
«for manufacturing enterprises. Just
low, however, we are strongly
tempted to declare for tax exemption,
if legal, and do absolutely declare
for the proffer of locations for worthy
business enterprises which would en
joy with us the great advantages na
ture hafi blessed us with. There are
many rten In Florence well able to
donate gltes for enterprises, and.tho
selfsamp men would reap the har
vest frOpi the increased business, in
creased'valuations which such enter
prises 4ould bring. Tt is high time
for theite to step forward.

The Kind of Compositions.
These four pieces are taken from
a symphony, an orchestral suite, an
opera, and a group of art songs. The
Largo represents the slow movement
of the symphony jn one of its most
beautiful manifestations. Morning,
with its simple re teration of a single
short theme is a characteristic num
ber of a suite rather than ate. orchest
ral movement. The Minuet, taken from
an opera is simpler and more dance
like than it would he had it been i
included in a symphony or a suite,
