COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT
CoHege commencement, beginning
next Sunday morning with the bacca
laureate sermon, is always an event
of unusual interest in this community.
This institution, ranking with the best
of its kind in the country, holds a
warm* place in the hearts of our peo
ple and in the life of the city. One
of the largest ejasses in its history
is being graduated and the. future is
bright for its continual growth and
development. * ^ -
The program will bring several out
standing speakers before our com-:,
munity, one among the list being a
man of international repute. No one
occupies a more distinguished position,
both in American and international
affairs, than Hamilton Holt, >vho is to
make the commencement oration. His
coming will give all who desire it, an
opportunity, to gain an insight into
these great questions.
Commencement with the graduates
is a red letter season. Let us respond
to the thrill and catch the meaning cf
it all by giving our presence and in
terest to the exercises.

THE COSMETICS TAX
Druggists all over the state are
protesting against what* they snrtl the
discriminating sales tax. put upon
them by the last legislature, especi:
as it affects cosmetics. The iniqui
of the law is pointed out in a news
story from Rock Hill where it is
stated that sales in drug stores there
have fallen off perceptibly, but that
does not mean that the women and
girls have abandoned the use. The
article states that they are purchased
in Charlotte, Gastonia, and other plac
es across the North Carolina line, and
also from the rriail order hottses that
are now making a concerted drive for
this business in this state. The store
keeper with these toilet'articles on his’
shelves, though no fault of his, i^ out
of luck, and in 9II fairness, the public
should.apprWiafe his’ position and put
the responsibility where it belongs.
The conditions that exist at Rock Hill
are fouqd every where else in the state.
It is due to “expediency” legislation—
a kind that, the people of South Caro
lina are getting tired of, yet it is still
being put upon them.
A headline reads: “More taxes pro
posed in France.” That’s nothing new
with.a South Carolina legislature. ,

est, both to. the pupils and patrons
and always prove an enjoyable part of
the week’s closing exercises and quite

George Ade, the well known humor

magazine article:
“There seems to be a disposition
just now among soft-collared high

boosters, Rotarians, Kiwanises, and
others who wear badges and attend
luncheons.

This, fund go6s to* those who paid

Accompanying the voucher to each

way department, of those who paid
license fees before the reduction went
into effect. There are said ta be
more than 60,000 persons on these fists

.The individual refunds amount, to
$3.00 in the case of owers of 2,000
