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.

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.

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.

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.

Seamen Leave Millions
in Little Harbor Bank
«
New York.—In this day of in-a-door
beds, of kitchens swung on the backs
of bathroom doors, or tables drawn
from the walls, Ve seem to’have mas
tered the art of concealment. 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. E. Bunce, who
runs tids bank at the Seamen's Church
institute.
“Many of- the people who think of
the seaman as tht^provecblal mossless
stone jvllji have to change their opin
ion.“During the'years 1919-20 the
seamen made here deposits qf their
wages of $1,250,000. Last year was
• good year, too. Even though wages
and prices were down, we had more
depositors than ever. We probably
do a bigger business for our cubic
space than any other bank In New
York.” *

London.—Umbrellas with handles

don and are considered quite the thing
among fashionably dressed young wo

The umbrellas are altogether too un
wieldy to be carrie^ by the handle, so
are attached to the arm by means of

the advantage of doing away with the
vanity case, for within the flat handle
the owner carries her powder box. Up
