' ROSS D.. YOUNG, County Treasurer. General Appropriation Bill Completed By Senate, Is Object of Attack j By Senator Outz.. . Columbia, March 10.—The peaceful tranquility that usually' marks the Monday night sessions of the state senate was rudely shattered last night ‘when the general appropriations bill was reported upon, Senator H. H. Gross, chairman of the finance com mittee, asking that the bill be given second reading and advanced to third with notice of general amen(jnlents. “I object to such a procedure,” Senator Outz of Greenwood, declared. “I have a resolution with regard to the general appropriation bill.” ‘‘Senator Outz is a* great advocate of economy,” retorted Senator Gross, “yet he is delaying us one day. We want the bill advanced to third read ing so that it may go back to the committee, be amended and then re ported on to the senate. Passing the bill to third reading tonight would save us one day.” “You want to railroad this bill through,” Senator Outz replied. “It is not fair to this senate nor to the people to railroad this bill through in any such fashion.” Senator Pearce, of Richland, said the only object in advancing the bill to third reading without printed copies being on the desks was to expedite maters so that one day might be ■saved. Senator Young, of Charleston, said abundant opportunity would be given every senator to discuss all ap propriations on third reading. “Let us fight it out on third reading,” he said. "There is ^io need to get in such a hurry,” replied Senator Outz. “We have wasted other days—why tear our pants off in a rush to get away now ? “The taxpayers are entitled to some consideration,” he continued. “They should not have this bill rammed down their throats. I have a resolu tion on this bill I want read.” “I don’t see any objection to having the resolution read,” interposed Sena tor Gross. “I don’t see how the sena tor from Greenwood can discuss the appropriation bill in his resolution when he doesn’t know what is in the bill. Or if 113 does, he ought not to.” When it was agreed that Senator Outzs’ resolution be read, the appro- priation^was passed to third reading with note of general amendments. The resolution, in part, was as fol lows: “Whereas, the taxpayers of South Carolina have been forqpd year after year to meet constantly increased ap propriations to support the tax eaters jf the state beyond the ability of many of the citizens to pay, and the burden of taxation has become too great to bear without a protest; and, “Wherdas, the financial conditions of the state are in worse shape noy than they have been for a number of years past as shown by the state bank examiner’s report which for the year 1924 recorded over seven million dol lars less in banking resources in the state, which is forcible evidence of the decreased ability of‘the people to pay larger tax bills; and, “Whereas, the appropriation bill for 1924 shows, that 63 different tra- , /el pay appropriations mentioned specifically, appropriating nearly $190,000 and a further claim has been made by the newspapers that at least $240,000 has been spent by the office holders in traveling alone to run the 33 departments, bureaus, inspectors, and officers infesting the state. These with the other lavish appro priations have been increasing from $1,000,000 to nearly $2,000,000 per year until the burdem has become so great many people can not pay taxes levied and their property is being sold from under them to support office holders and institutions of the state and now on the pay roll of the state thus creating an ever increasing men ace to the good and wholesome gov emment not for the peopW;, but per petuating the government of office holders by officers for the benefit of office holders. ...” > It was further set forth that busi ness men were putting forth every effort to meet conditions and that the “hour has struck for the general as sembly to decrease appropriations in every possible way.” _ “Many of us,” the resolution con tinued, “have pledged ourselves to our constituents that we would strive to bring about a more economically man aged government than we now have.” “Therefore, be it resolved, That the appropriation bill be recommitted to the finance committee with the ear nest request that the same be most carefully considered, and that they be requested to cut each and every item, except those prohibited by the consti tution, to the, very marrow of the bone, and give the people 'the relief that they are so justly entitled to, and for which they are pleading and de manding. Gut #ie bill down to $5,000- 000 and save the expense and the bur den to the people to support the new tax system* to be inaugurated to gath er in the money on the new sources of taxation. Reduce appropriations and then no need for more taxes.” No action was taken on the resolu tion other than to refer it to the fin ance committee. WRITES OF JEWISH - EMPIRE IN DESERT Interesting Study of Medie val Africa by Frenchman, NURSES TOLD TO LET HAIR GROW Hospitals Put Ban on Bobbed Heads in Wards. g.'- — Reviewing Charles <le la Ronciere’s recent* book, “Decouverte de I’Afrigue ^ Ju Moyen Age,’ E. Dertneughetu oh- [ serves that in the Middle ages rel% | tlons between Africa and Europe were much closer, more frequent and more congenial than in the succeeding more •enlightened” centuries, says L’Actlou Kruncaise, “In tha 'Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries the kings of Aragon conclud ed a number of commercial treaties with the Arab rulers of Tunis, Tletnseu, Marrakech, Fez and Sldjilmassa. Ma jorca was formerly the seat of s fa mous Jewish cartographic School, of which the Influence Is apparent on all of the Catalan planispheres. Charles V. sent ' Abraham Cresquk’i Catalan atlas to the Louvre. “These relations between Europe and central Africa were indeed largely due to the* Spanish and Moroccan Jews, polyglot by necessity and tire less International traders. They ceased at the close of the Fifteenth century, when the Arabs were driven out of Spain and when the Jews, also expelled, were being massacred whole sale by the Moslems in the Saharan oases (1494). •, — "One of the most interesting chap ters of M. de la Ronclert’s hook de scribes this Jewish era in the Sahara. Throughout the Middle ages, In fact, the Jews In southern Algeria and Mo rocco, mentioned by St. Augustine, had extremely prosperous colonies in most of the oases. A ‘Jewish empire of the Sahara’ may even have existed in the first centuries of our era. The first 42 kings of Ghanna (up to the year 790), which was the capital of a great \ind flourishing state, were white. He brew Inscriptions to this effect have been found in the recently unearthed ruins of the city. Ethiopia, where (here are still a few Israelites along the Blue Nile, had a Jewish king in the Fifth century. “Supporting his statement upon the persistent references to the mysteri ous B^ni-lsrael tribes and other evi dence, M. Delafosse. author of ‘Lea Xoirs de l’A(rique’ and numerous oth er works, believes in the Jewish origin of the Peuhls. The Arabian geogra pher. Khordadhah, tells us that in t!?e Ninth century the Jews carried on a liourlshing trade in slaves, eph’eb'es, swords, hides and spices; and a Kai- rouan Jew refers to a Jewish Saharan empire whose ruler was converted to Islamism. In the Fifteenth century Malfant reported the survival of a rivalry between the Jews and ‘Phil istines’ (the Touraregs) in the heart of Uis desert.” ■ What It Iron Made Of? This looks Hke * singular. ; mot to. . sny foolish, question, and yet some; chemists are beginning to doubt- whether iron is really a chemical ele ment. They think that Instead of be- ng an elementary substance it may be a highly complex compound, and that eventually means may be found of separating or isolating the bodies, or elements, of which Iron is made up. Different substances are ordinarily combined either by simple Interjmlx- ture, as oxygen and nitrogen are Inter mixed In the air, or by solution, or by chemical combination. But of late it has been suggested that there may be a fourth state of combination still more Intimate than that which Is implied by the usual ex pression “chemical union.” The com bination of yet unrecognized elements which make what we call iron would be an example of the fourth state. What this ^ conception necessitates may be Judged froi® the fact that it seems to do away with *the atom as the smallest elementary particle of matter.—-Washington Star. WHAT DO P. S, JEANS Three Odd Chumt A correspondent at Sydney, N. 8. W.. .sends the following strange ( story to the London Mall: More than three years ago a tor toise crawled into the grounds of Ma rengo Chase, Morpeth, N. S. W., the residence 6f Capt. D. J. Marshall. At the same 'time a bat appeared. The tortoise and the bat were friends and their association caused much amusement. After wandering about the grounds for three months, the tortoise left, followed by the hat. Neither the * tortoise nor the hat was seen again for three years, but recently Captain Marshall was as-, tonlshed by the reappearance In his grounds of the tortoise and thej hat. * During their absence they had made a new friend—a magpie, and the queer trio now live in amity. Ottawa.—Bobbed hair is causing a merry old powwow throughout the Student nurses of the province are aiding the cause of shorn locks against those who would grow them lung. ^ At practically all the hospitals throughout the entire province there is a regulation to the effect that hair must not he cut In the prevailing inode, but that It Is to be kept pri marily in curls such as was worn by the nmldeni of the province some years ago. But the rule. It has been discovered, has not always been patiently obeyed. Nurses at general hospitals and some others who recently desired to follow the example of their sisters eutslde. were suspended. And now an Incipient rebellion against what la considered a needless restflctlon Imposed by years upon youth la reported In a number of Institutions. The nurses claim that the hospitals should be glad to have bobbed student nurses, and that they are sure .he pa tients will agree that the removal of the long tresses goes a long way to brighten up the wards. Some of the students have decided to seek new fields of endeavor as the result of the war waged on the bob. but others say they will stick to their guns, while some have gone so far as to secure legal advice.

Accus tomed as we are to these features of modern life, we are not used to thinking of big business In small offices. Yet down near the harbor In New York at 25 South street, there Is a milllon-dollar bank in a 12 by 10 base ment room with a tiny corridor barely wide enough for a man to pass through on his way to the teller’s win dow. To seamen it Is perhaps the best-known depository In the world. Its depositors represent sixty-seven foreign countries, it hears nearly every known language spoken, and more than $0,500,000 in seamen’s wages has come over its counter in the past eleven years. * “1 am the crew and the captain, too. and the mate of the Nancy brig,” might be said of W.
