They felt that they should do some- thing to distinguish It from other holidays or from Sun day, but four o’clock In the afternoon arrived witbont anything happening to Itn press upon them that they had really entered upon a new year. The New England town where they lived lay peacefully under Its blankei of white, and probably most of Us forty thousand Inhabitants were as peacefully dozing In their chairs, sat isfied with tbelr creature comforts, and thankful that they were not as other people.

I..ast evening, (much against my better judgment), I accepted an invi tation to dine at 6 o’clock with a pro fessional brother—our wives were in attendance. The cares of the day were past and gone; it was the time for recreation that is so essential to the brain worker. Every one in %he group, except myself, adored the six o’clock dinner, and indulged in it at every opportunity. To say that this was a fine, sump tuous meal, does not half describe the setting.

I make no claim to being a prophet, but I think that we are all fooling ourselves if we exiiect prices of goods, wages, rents, salaries and other items of income and outgo to return to the high figures of four years ago. I think it is much more likely that when we recover our economic balance we will find ^hat we are about where we were before the great war, with the exception that m higher percent age of our people will be earning a living income ^an was the case in 1913. ing the present weke on their 1931 taxes. Comptroller General A. J. Beat- tie announced. The more than $800,000 is to be dis tributed largely among the 31 coun-! ties through which the railway lines operate, easing the ca.sh situation ma terially. Except for 10 per cent which the state receives, the entire amount goes to county school funds. Malhy teach ers who have been unpaid will now re ceive their salary checks, the comp troller general said. The $409,000 received today is for 1930 taxes which became overdue when the railway went into bank ruptcy. The railway )ias contended it should not pay a penalty, but the state has not agreed to this. Mr. Beattie said he had taken the amount of the tax less the penalty without cancelling the state’s lien as to penalty and was still holding the execution until the matter of liabili ty is determined. Chesterfield county receive* the largest amount with $32,923.68. Oth er counties receiving substantial suma are: Laurens, $24312.06;.Charleston, $20,016.00; Kershaw, $20,760.61, and .AbbevUle, $19,175.02. Other upstate counties with the BABY RUTH.
