SHAKING TOBACCO FACTS FROM THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA The Use of Flavorings Deter mines Difference In Brands The Encyclopaedia Britannica says about the manufacture of smoking to bacco: . .on the Continent and in America, certain ‘sauces’ are employed ... the use of the ‘sauces’ is to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves.” Which indicates that a smoker’s enjoyment depends as much upon the favoring used as upon the tobacco. Your nose is a sure guide in the mat ter of flavorings. Try this simple test Kith several tobacco brands: pour some tobacco into your palm, rub briskly, and smell. You will notice a distinct difference in the fragrance of every brand. The tobacco that smells best to you will smoke best in your pipe, you u.n rest assured. Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco, plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from any other tobacco. Try it and see. CITY ORDINANCE.

IS $24,000 FOR TAX COMMISSION Usual Benison on Occasions of This Sort Pronounced Over the Mem bers By Governor Cooper. The first session of the seventy-third general assembly was concluded at 7:25 o'clock Sunday morning, when the house adjourned. The senate ad journed at 7:14. Throughout the last day both houses had time hanging heavily over them. Many bills were ratified. Free confer- uice reports on all amended measures which were in contest were occupying much of the attention of both bodies. Several bills of Statewide import ance were acted upon on the final day of the session. . ' • The house accepted the senate's amendments to the bill to regulate the sale 'of tonics and bitters witji suffi cient alcoholic content to be used as beverages. The house also accepted the senate’s amendment to the bill to create a pen sion commission and appropriating $500,000 for pensions for Confederate soldiers. The senate reduced this ap propriation to $400,000, which is $100,- 000 in «excess of the amount appro priated last year. The house also Positive—Convincing Proof We publish the formula of Vinol to prove convincingly that it has tha power to create strength. Cod Liver and Beef Peptonea, Iren ^ and Manganese Peptonates, Ivon and Ammonium Citrate, Lime and Soda Glycerophosphates, Cascarin. An« woman who buys a bottle of Vinol fbr a weak, run-down, nervous condition and finds after giving it a fair trial it did not help her, will have her money returned. You see, there is no guess work, about Vinol. Its formula proves there is nothing like it for all weak, run-down, overworked, nervous men and ■tfomen and for feeble old people and delicate children. Try it once and be convinced. T. L RHAME, Drugfisr aad Druggist Everywhere accepted the sen ate’s amendments to the bill to regu late hunting and fishing in the State and to fix hunters’ licenses:—.. The senate refused concurrence in the house resolution "that all members of the general assembly are hereby authorized to receive payment of $7 per day as expenses for all time in excess of 40 days spent by them in at tendance upon the general assembly This little matter was like Banquo'v ghost, somewhat hard to down, but the senate in the end proved itself equal to the task. All state officers and clerks and em ployes have had their salaries In creased over 1918 and that the aver age increase is 21 per cent; The senate included a paragraph in the appropriation bill which requires "that the office of each and every de partment of the state government be kept open continuously daily from ! a. m. to 5 p. m„ exclusive of. legal holidays. The only effort made to change the appropriation bill in the senate as it was reported was the unsuccesful plea of Senator Baker and Mr. Wat- kina to provide for a heating plant at the Industrial school at Florence. Another interesting feature of the appropriation bill is that the chief clerks or assistants in the various de partments are all raised to $2,400 each, and the heads of the departments are only getting $2,500, making a -differ ence of $100 each. The senate bill carries $734,000 in aid of the public schools of the state. The house bill on its face does not carry so much, but it provides that unexpended balances. aggrgating about $160,000 should be expended, whereas the senate bif! simply inclu ded all these unexpended balances in the direct appropriations, which will he expended if needed. The general appropriation bill went to free conference, and various and sundry differences were smoothed out. The most important and significant change in the senate bill was the ac ceptance of an amendment providing for $24,000 bv direct appropriation for the use of the tax commission in dis covering and getting on the books property that Is now avoiding taxation^ and quickqening the equalization of taxes. • This Is providing money for* the commission to have teeth. Governor Cooper forwarded a mes sage. thanking the member^ for their diligent efforts to enact legislation looking to the betterment of con ditions in Soqth Carolina, and bidding them Godspeed in their return home. Rush Order Quickly Filled. Only one hour and 15 minutes were required^ to fill a rush call for work-. men by the United States employment service here. A representative from a contracting firm at Winnsboro came to the employment office on Wash ington street and asked the examiner in charge, Philip J. Smith, to secure him one commissary manager, one cook and eight brick masons. The order yras an assorted one but the examiner was equal to the occasion and When the Winnsboro mun left he purchased 11 tickets instead of one. - Meeting, State Board Education. Governor Cooper has called the State boafd of education to meet in his office March 21. This will be the a to initial meeting of the board under his administration. The constitution makes the gover- t • • * nor ^x-officio chairman and the State superintendent ex-officio secretary of the State board. It also provided for the appointment by the governor of the other members, who shall serve for a term of four years. The. present board was appointed in April, 1916, and will hold until April.' 1920. Ex- Governor Manning, in selecting and appointing the board, chose an entire ly new man from each of the seven congressional districts. The ap pointive members now are, J. M. Nath- ans, Charleston, first district; W. Jay McGarity, Aiken, second district; S. J. Derrick. Newberry, third district; Dr. H. N. Snyder, Spartanburg, fourth district; E. A. Montgomery, Blasks- burg. fifth district; W. L. Booker, Florence sixth district; S. H. Ed munds. Sumter, seventh district. Among the important matters to be considered by the State board at this meeting are the appointment of the several county boards of education, ar rangements for the regular teachers’ examination, consideration of public school appropriations and of new school legislation, settlement of tui tion and scholarship appeals and the formation of whatever plans may seem advisable for the betterment of the schools. Each county board of education is composed of the county superintend ent of education, ex-officio, together with two members to be designated by the State board upon the nomina tion of the representatfve from, the congressional district in , which the county is located. It is custoraery for the board to ask each county su perintendent to nominate the mem bers for his county. The new appropriations are now be ing checked up in the comptroller’s office. A full statement from Comp troller General -Osborne will be m the hands of the State superintendent within a few- days. This statement will be given out promptly In order that interested tmstees and teachers may learn what to expect. . Some comprehensive and far-rea^- Ing legislation was enacted by the \S^ islature—tha-WK^^ghool law was re vised and liberalised, T The equalization law was reenacted. Both of these laws provide increased salaries for teachers and carry larger appropria tions. The compulsory attendance law will open up many new problems and pos sibilities. The effectiveness of this law will depend largely upon the'co operation of county superintendents and county boards of education. The act providing for vocational training in cooperation with the fed eral government is one of the most constructive pieces of legislation dur ing recent years. Activities under this law will be directed mainly from Clemson College, Winthrop College and from the State Colored College. The library law was revised., sim plified and unified. A new library list will be published by the State board at the earliest practicable moment. At present, the purchase of library books is almost impossible. One of the most timely pieces of legislation is the act to relieve the schools as far as practicable of the financial consequences of the in fluenza epidemic and the consequent health quarantine of the State hoard. This act has already been distributed by the State superintendent of edu cation in the hope that trustees every where will continue to run their schools as the attendance of pupils justifies the expenditure. Many rural graded schools will be added to the list because of a change In the law affecting two teacher schools. In. such a school the maxi mum required enrollment Is now 40. This reduction will enable many com munities to receive rural graded school aid in the two teacher class. The teachers’ registration and em ployment bureau was also removed from the direction and supervision of the State superintendent, and' made an independent unit of the tSate’s educational system. Under the new act. the State board of education must appoint a registrar at a salary of $1.- 800 per year. This appointment will probably be made at the approaching meeting.
