I TtlTTTJer* A V UIDPU 10 100ft ftAtwiwvAAi mnAwiA* J6i i^v. | The State house of representatives is due the thanks of the y people of South Carolina for ' killing the bill introduced by the finance committee of the senate proposing a general increase Of salaries for State officials, two or three ,of whom already are Ipaid more than they are worth, for they do not devote three hours a day to their , official duties. The bill proposed a salary grab, the ways and means committee of the house reported it unfavorably and the house of representatives then struck it frnm oolonrlov H = I Of course .there is no reason why the State of South Carolina should contribute one dollar or even one penny to the State fair. There is' every reason, on the other hand, why not one cent of the public- funds should be appropriated for this purpose. It is a violation of the constitution and rank discrimination against the county fairs. The appropriation bill this year carries an item of $7,5Q0r. for the State fair against tHe wishes of Jhe house conferees on the appropriation bill and due to the refusal of the senate conferees to strike the item from the bill, which passed the house without, carrying a penny for the fair. The senate then inserted an item of $12,000 for the fair and the house conferees mnrvnored ? mf ?? $7,500. Thai was the best they could do arid thev deserve the thanks of the public for their efforts in this connection. It is to be hoped that, pneof these fine days some patriotic. South Carolinian..will.jise up and con-' test in the supreme court this violation cf the constitution. Present for Chairman. * A day'or two before the Legislature adjourned the early part of the week Representative W. R. Bradford of Fort Mill was presented by the ways and means committee, of which he' has been chairman for the last two years, !il. 1- - < wild a Deaumui silver sandwich tray. The wayfe and means committee is composed of 30 members and is generally accepted as the most important of the many house committees. The presentation speech was # made by Representative Orr of Oconee county. After thanking the committee for the gift, Mr. Bradford said if .there was anything in connection with the work of the committee during 1919-20 which he recalled with pleasure equal to that he had derived from associat:on with its members, it was that during the time he had presided over its deliberations not an unkind word had passed between members of the committee in disposing of the thousands of matters which had demanded their attention. * CharlQtfe Grows Rapidly.

Thirteen per cent, of this income has been paid for reading meters and collecting rents. We have been forced to make other arrangements in order to keep this expense down to anywhere near what it has been and unless we have the cooperation of consumers it will be impossible. Consumers must pay the small pittance of 00 conls per month promptly?promptly means by the 10tn of the following monih. The undersigned will be at his office over the Lytle Drug Store the first Saturday of each followiug month to receive collections from those who have not already paid collector or sent remittance through the mail. The system is being conducted just a3 economically as possible and^should we hire a manager, which is our privilege, instead of practically doing the work for nothing, as we have been doing, the total income would not much more than pay half his salary, much less leave anything for pumping, repairs and rent of wells. We ask you to cooperate with us if you wish to continue the present economical arrangement, else the alternative will be much higher water rents in the cutting off of the offenders. To conaerve water and save needless expense, please attend to ail leaks promptly and if in need of help, it might pay you to consult with the management. W. B. AliDHEY, Chairman, Public Works Commission. ' NO 1 ICE OP ELECTION.
