arrived on the scene.
Although officers believe Gray to
have been in Greenville befo^re, the
prisoner told Sheriff C'liff R. Bram-
lett that he came to the city recent
ly for the first time. He further stat
ed that an accc.mplice was to have
waitfil for him and assisted him in
making his escaiM', but the close pur
suit prevented this nian from being
carried out. The name of the second
man was not given, it was states!, and
Gray declined bp elaborate on his brief

held up the Rogers store at the cor

avenue on March 7 and escaped with
$200 in cash. 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. Ulourl, next floor to Sans Souci
Baptist church on the Franklin road,
.Sunday night, records at Sheriff
Bramlett’s office reveali<>d.'
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.
The man entertd the Umilding, walk-
(sl leisurely toward the rear, where
business is carried on and went

who had gone there to accommodate
the presiMiusl customer.

11:45 chapel hour. 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,

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.

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

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.
