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.

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

power to create strength.

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 â– 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.
