| 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.

NOTICE TO WATER CON.suMEKS.
The total monthly income from the
water system is now about $70.00 per
month. 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.
