Columbia, .April 1.—When the house adjourned'at near midnight tonight a concerted movement was on foot to refuse to concur*in the free confer ence report on the annual appropri ations. bill, with the house about even ly divided. Should it be sent back, it will mean a session of from two to four weeks longer. Three votes were necessary before j wwks the house adjourned until 10 o’clock tomorrow morning.

The chief objection of Mr. Herbert to the report was that the five-mill levy on real estate and personal tan gible property had been retained in the bill. “Day is breaking in South Caro- Jina,” Mr. Herbert shouted. “The first thing to be done is to reform our tax system.’’-He advocated non-concur rence in the report, continuing of all second reading bills except those con cerning appropriations^and revenues and “come back here next week, and clear this thing up.” Representative McCaslan, of Green wood, chairman of the ways and means committee and member of the free conference committee, gained the floor at beginning of debate on the report and asked that it be carried over until 8:30 o’clock toTnorrow night but the house refused. A later notion by Mr. McCaslan to adjourn debate until 11 o’clock tomorrow morning was deeaedt, 48 to 44. Speaking for concurrence in tnc re port, Representative Stop, of Wil liamsburg, said while he did nut like every detail of the free confereme re port, he would vote for it.

FraVser, who is in general charge of the health cam paign, was very enthusiastic yester day over the assistance given her by all who have taken part in the work. Both Dr. Dotterer and Dr. Sparks, she said, have been careful and gentle in the examination of the children and show, a very sympathetic interest in the work. Miss Kate V. Wofford, wfto was largely instrumental in securing the work for the county, and Miss Mary Shaw Gilliam, county home agent, are lending their assistance and influence in making the survey worthwhile. The friendly cooperation of all Ihe school teachers and princi- pals^^she said, has been very pleasing to her and has been very important in making the survey a success.
