As a result of investi gation by officers, charges will be pre ferred against Gray in warrants to be sworn out today, it was said by the sheriff. T he 1929 Ford coach in which Gray attempted to escape following the holdup yesterday morning had been stolen from in front of the home of V,. C.

A (juiet period in the morning’s banking was picked by the man for the job yesterday. G. W. Nico-ll, cash- ■ ier, was the only pc'rson in the biyik [at the time, about 11:20 o'cltK’k. 'George W. Johnstin, assistant cashier, .and Mrs. .lohnsson, teller, had gone to lunch.

Doctor Beckman also spoke on the same subject, in more detail, to the juniot claases in psychology and education and the senior education group, Monday after noon. Beginning by stating the purpose of psychiatry, he went on to show the progress made in that field in the last few years and told of the’ extensive and valuable work that is being done the world over. He told of the inten sive study and development of diag nosis of mental di.seases in recent years and at the same .time brought in the complexes that must be faced by the doctor treating them. Dividing the whole field into the general heads of “F'unctional” and “Organic” troubles, Dr. Beckman went on to classify the various spe cific diseases coming under these heads and gave several most fre- queritly found causes for them. Alco hol and chronic infections of the physical system were particularly cit- ^int, Tori' an<r”cause8, y?ith"^m^TaI' emotional shocks coming in also. anf From various reports and his per- .sonal experience a.s well, he showed the prevalency of dementia over the country and particularly in South Carolina, and then went on to show the ina<lequacy of the prese.nt system in handling it. He empha»ize<l the im portance <tf treating ea<'h patient as an individual fn>m every aide and Ihen telling of the overflowed condi tion of the hospital and illustrating the fatd that around 5,000 people in South f’arolina still neevled attention, he showed the almost utter hopeless ness of the task facing the state rep- re.svmtat'ives and yet the zeal with which they ajjplied thenif.ielves to it. The address was of especial value to the students who have l)een pur suing studies along this line and many of them have expressed a de sire for Dr. Ik'ckman’s early return to speak on other phases of the work. i < 'A* ^ iii^ pc 1 J 1 ^ J («• t / » / ■ / • wi im 1924 ms ms mi i92fi m9 mo Chart showing steady increase of taxes paid per spindle by South Carolina cotton mills. . Taxes Increased 40 Ceni Cent for South (Molina Cotton Mills The above chart shows the steady upward trend of the taxes paid per spindle by ^uth Carolina cotton mills during the past nine years. Each year shows a definite increase except the last one. The slight decrea.se of 1929-30 is one brought about, not by a re duction of assessments, but rather by poor conditions that made it impossible for many mills to pay income taxes. This increase of taxes paid per sp'ndle of 40'; brings to light the fact that the increase in Sojiith Carolina has been greater than in any other textile state. While taxes in other textile states have actually in many cases shown decided decreases, the burden in South Carolina has steadily grown heavier. The mills in South -OtrohH»i-p<t3fett4nyfaieF^tHy state in the United States. ^ -ylg-ggxi If this tax load in South Carolina is confined t(0 the cotton mills, then unquestionably the state owes it to its principal industry that it be relieved, for the s&ke of competition with other textile states; for the sake of the devebpment of the industry and the building of new textile plants. If this condition is more or less characteristic of the state at large, then we as South Carolinians owe it to our selves to further emphasize governmental economy, and insti tute tax reforms that will reduce the burden. Such a record hampers (he growth of the entire slate. !nr4mii'l ilrrrTrrrrrrr rrr” NEW SERIES Building and Loan Begins April 10th County Health Notes By Mins Jennie McMaster, Stale Field Nurse [liiHiiiiMiiiirt ir rjjrrrrrrrrnr” ^rrrrrrr-p Th<‘ tw,> montlis health ?ervi(^ <»f the Tuberi’ubwi.H assiH’iation han been 0(im|)b*U'<l, an<l M's.s Mc.Master lefij this we<*^k for Aikin, when* a threi'i Ddoks an* now Commercial Hank lions to Series open ;tt the for suhscrip- ••fl" l.ibcrtA^,, ^ TTunr'TTii Into hi.s ^vvaiTtng rtuTov ■ 111 il'ilo, whieli was simiti earrying him at ton siHH'd along the Buneoinb roa<l -o.va:»i llomler.-ionvillo.
