Appropriation Bill Now on Third
Reading in Senate.
Columbia, Feb. 17.—Getting down
to business, South Carolina Gener
al Assembly last week found its
stride and did more work than dur
ing the previous combined days jof the
present session.
The House of Representatives was
m somewhat of a sanguinary mood
and many of . the bills of State-wide
application introduced during this and
the past session were summarily re
jected, most of them without the
semblance of debate.
Thursday night, following a day
•f unlimited debate, the House re
jected the joint resolution by Rep
resentative Smoak of Colleton and
fourteen others providing a referen
dum election on the proposal to float
a bond issue of $40,000,000 for the
purpose of constructing a permanent
system of hard-surfaced and top soil
roads. The vote wag 54 to 46.
Resolutions by Senator S. H. Mc-
iresenta-
Ghee of Greenwood am
Hve W. MTLayton o
Houses.
3 ion of
anon pro
viding for a new constitutional con
vention received their death blows.
The Senate, after debating the
measure for several days rejected the
bill to create an examining board
for chiropractors. The vote was 20
to 16. A measure of this character
las been before the General Assem
bly every year for the past few ses-
»ons, and has invariably been reject-
ed by one or the other of the
The most vehement sesst
either body last week was that in
the House Monday night when the
invitation to Senator James A. Reed,
•f Missouri, announced candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina
tion, was recalled.
The most important action of eith
er House was the final adoption of
the general appropriation bill last
Tuesday in the loww body. It carried
a total of $8,910311, of which $431,-
•00 of it was an increase over the
recommendations of the wa^s and
means committee. The measure has
been advanced to third reading on the
calendar with notice of general
amendments and the Senate is now
awaiting the report of its finance
committee.
A long step toward the rounding
out of a ten-year movement was tak
en when Governor McLeod approved
four of the series of joint resolutions
providing for a change in the sys
tem of State government., so that
there will be biennial sessions of the
General Assembly, assessment and
collection of taxes every two years
and quadrennial elections of constitu
tional State officers. These four res
olutions, which now will have to be
voted on by the people, were fathered
by Representative Joseph R. Bryson
of Greenville.
Two of the series of resolutions
to perfect this form of government
have yet to be signed—one by Rep
resentative Bryson providing a four
year term for governor which had
to be amended to clear up technical
errors and the other by Senator S.
H. McGee of Greenwood providing
for a four year term for attorney
general. These, however, have been
passed and ordered enrolled for rati
fication.
Another important measure which
has received the signature of the Gov
ernor is the bill by Senator Pearce of
Richland, finally passed by the House
this week, preventing railroads from
collecting Pullman surcharges on in
trastate journeys in South Carolina.
This measure is now the law.
* important bill,s-ordere
rolled as acts during the week were
the bills by Senator T. B. Butler of
Cherokee, providing for the dispos
al of the silver service donated by
the people of the State to the old
battleship South Carolina and pro
viding that schools and the grounds
used by them for athletic purposes
be exempt from taxation.
Oldest Building
Id World Found
History of Babylonia Moves Back
1,000 Years—Temple 6,000
Years Old.
Philadelphia, Feb. 17.—The oldest
building in the world still standing
above ground has been found by the
joint expedition of the British mu
seum, London, and the University Mu
seum, Philadelphia, at Tell El Obeid.
Babylonia, four miles from Ur, of
the Chaldes, of Biblical fame.
This was announced tonight by Dr.
George B. Gordon, director of the
University museum, in making pub
lic a report from Dr. C. Leonard
Woolley, head of the joint expedi
tion on the banks of the Euphrates.
The excavation of this building,
a temple, has moved the already , an
cient history of Babylonia back an
other 1,000 years. The building is
1 more than 6,000 years old, and it’s
history is placed at a period as far

of the Food Value
of Your ‘■Baking!
Plain flour has a lane amount
of food value but it must be
combined with good baking
powder in order to retain this
value.
Most self rising flours are not
successful because they do not
raise the bakings to the proper
l lightness. This means a cer
tain loss of nutrition because
they are heavy and hard to*
digest N
Every time you eat food that
does not properly digest you
do not get the full nutritional
value — you are over-tabdng
your stomach. Nourishing and
perfect bakings are what good
health demands. The one sure
way is—use pure flour and
v* good baking powder. ,
%
If you want to find what thou
sands of housewives have
learned—make some biscuits
with self-rising flour —then
make some with go9d plain
flour and Calumet Baking Pow
der—notice the great difference.
One trial will satisfy you. Your
health demands that you make >
the experiment
Those who know—millions of
housewives^ domestic science
teachers,bignotels^restaurants,
bakeries and railroads will not
use anything but Calumet, the
Economy Baking Powder.
Play safe—use Calumet aril „
plain flour. It is the most eco
nomical and satisfactory,
where light wholesome and
pure foods are desired.

removed from King Tut-Ankh-Amen
in the past as the present generation
is removed from him in known his
tory.
Dr. Gordon announced that the ex
pedition has uneathed remarkable
carvings, one of the choicest finds
was a small golden scaraboid head
inscribed with the name of the build
er of thje temple, King A-An-Ni-Pad-
Da, of Ur who reigned 4,500 years
before Christ. This is the oldest roy
al jewel known.
In the report describing the build
ing, Dr. Woolley says in part:
M A broad flight of stone steps led
to a platform about twenty feet high
on the South corner of which stood
the temple proper, its gate tower
torn from the stairway. It’s facade
set back from the edge of the plat
form so as to leave a narrow step
on which stood a row of statues of
bulls scnlptored in the round. These
stood some three feet high and were
made of thin copper plates beaten
up over a wooden core. Their heads
were turned out to face the spectator
and their horns were of gold.
“Two of these statues havo been
due to the crushing of the met&l
under the enormous weight of the
brickwork which hed^ fallen and to
the enemy hands which had torn off
the golden horns.
Of the frieze of cattle lying down
we have now a dozen exam
ples. Above them was a frieze of
a different sort. Figures carved in
white shell or limestone were in
laid against a background of black
tesserae. Of this we have a complete
section in perfect condition. Some
show bulls advancing in solemn pro
cession. The most interesting, a
panel four feet long, has on one side
a milking scene, cows and their calves
and men milking th*e cows into tall
jars. . . .
“Found close to this, but hardly
to be connected with-it, is a lime
stone plauq, carved"in relief with a
mythological subject, a man-headed
bull on whose back is perched a, lion
headed bird.
“An important discovery was that
of two columns ten feet high encrust
ed with mosaic work in black paste,
redstone and mother of pearl. Both
had been damaged by their fall. . . .
It was found possible to ... . pre
serve those remarkable columns, if
not as they stood in the temple, at
least as they were after they had
once fallen from it."
Thoughts Turn
To Baseball I
Initial Workouts for Presbyterian |
Vanity Nine Sosa to Begin.
By H. J. Hindman.
No official call for spring football I
training will be issued from Coach j
Johnson’s office- this year. On the
other hand, as soon as the basketball I
team Veturns from its jaunt to Ma
con, Ga., where they will enter the j
S. I. A. A. Tournament, the sum
mons for baseball candidates will be
sent out from the Presbyterian Men-]
tor’s desk.
This year Johnson will probably
assemble his batterymen a.week or
so earlier t^xan the others. The ini
tial workouts for the tossers and re-'
f'-'ivers will •undoubtedly be held in
the gymnasium. Thus.he will have
the pitchers and catchers prepared,
and ready for action tfrhen the dia
mond dust begins to fly. Lewis, the
Johnsonian pitching ace for several
seasons, will do the major part of
the serving while* Hannah, a portsid-
er will be called upon often to do
his share of the work. At present,
these two men are the only twirlers
visible and some one else will have
to be trained up for cases of emer
gency.
Roy Moore, veteran catcher of
two seasons and rated as one of the
best receivers in amateur circuits
last season, ‘will captain the 1924
Diamonders. The experience this lad
gained last summer should place
him on the top of the horse-hide ar
tists this season.
Miller will be back at the initial
sack and Moore, J. will probably be
in the short field with Holladay
switched to the gardens in order to
build up a hanj hitting outfield.
Warner will play either around sec
ond or third base which in either
case leaves one position open for a
comer-up from last season’s rat team.
Norton will in all probability be seen
in right field with Holladay in left
and Hunter, the whirling basketball
dervish will cavort about the center
garden.
Manager Nickles will round up his
prospective pitchers and catchers
about March 3rd and his infielders
and outfielders will report about
March 10th or 15th. Just how many
men will report for the initial work
out cannot be ascertained at this
early date. But it can safely be
stated that Johnson will not have
a Variety of material this year. If
he pats a winning team to the fore
ground it will be accredited to his
indomitable personality and concert
ed efforts. - ** ’ rr
