Golunirfa, Jan. 16.—The ways and
means oommittoe reiMrted out a fen-
eral appropriation biR totaling $12#*
900,298 today. Chairmaa WincheatMr
Smith said the measure was 'SrsR
within the eothnated revenue."
The bSl, in printed form will be
plaoed on the desks of members of
^e house of representatives when
they resume work at noon tomorrow.
Smith said the ways and means bill
followed cloeely the recommendations
of the budget commission. In its sn-
Dusl report that group shggeeted ap
propriations 'for the year 1940-41 of
118,648^.

buyert of aofit drhik 'crowns from 10
to sersB psr cent.
“‘l^Msa small increases permitted
us to halsnoe the budget and have a
little left over," ShaHh said.
He estimated that the surplus for
the year would run around $60,000.
. The wine increase, he erihnated,
would bring Jn $450,000, vdiile the
change in the crown discount would
net the state $160,000.
He pointed out that the bill carried
inereases in anybody’s salary and
no salary decreases."
The measure, Sntith declared, fol
lowed the budget commission’s rec
ommendations that apioopriations be
fixed at such an amount that defi
ciency appropriation measures would
not be neoessary in the futors.

physician of Laurens county. These
two reared a family of eight children
and gave each an excellent education,
it is difficult to sec how, during the
Reconstruction period 'here in the
South and the days that followed, he
was able to send one son to the Uni
versity of Edinburgh and another to
Cornell. All of the sons and daui^-

in the suoceecHng generations, display
gifts and services that are cred

and minister. Mum Roee Lee Holmes,
the youngest daughter, gave her life
to earing for those unfortunate
daughters of whom Jesus said in hk
gracious compassion, “Go, and sin
