Passed on third readinjr without a record vote, the bill was .sent to the house. It probably will come up later this week. The senate adopted a committee amendment increasing the penalty from one to two per cent, and voted, 19 to 11, against an amendment which ! would have fixed it at three per cent “so the big man will pay now.” Six counties, Jasper, Pickens, Mc Cormick, York, Union, and Greenville, were exempted from terms of the bill A 12-month measure totalling ap proximately $5,000,090, less by nearly!by last-minute amendments of their $4,500,000 than the one pas.sed last, senators. year, Avaa recommitted to the ways-j— Sloan.-of-Greenville, >iaUi tax and moans committee—Friday after Bennett had announced that by ap propriating for 18 months .state and ponement might send his county into default on its obligations.
