PRESIDENT HARDING
IS INCONSISTENT
/
Washington, D. C., Jan. 27.?"Economy
is wealth," said the Golf Player
of the White House, "and I will gently
inculcate a lesson in thrift for the
benefit of those poor people out in
Kansas who are so misguided as to be
holding .county mass meetings on the
subject of high taxes," and the "bestdressed
President in a generation"
carefully lapped his left hand around
the shaft of the miashie, then wrapphis
right fingers about the stick, exercising
care that the two minor digits
of the right overcast the thumb of the
left. Bing! "Smithers," (over hi
"wfKr.n n'o rntiirn tn fho

White Houss gather up my worn shoes
and send them to that worthy cobbler
at Emporia. Kansas, Mr. Spady, for
repairs. We. at the head of the nation,
must teach the people a lesson in economy."
Magnificent leadership or
cheap bunk, unworthy of a Presideof
the United States and showing a
very low estimate of the intelligence
of the people. The news about the
batch of old shoes was given out at
Fl ctporia by E. A. Spady, shoetmaker,
on one day, and the following day the
' New York papers contained the news;
of Mrs. Harding's new wrap "of finest
Russian ermine, with collars and cuff^
of white fox, trimmed with ermine j
tails and lined with white Roman
crepe over Harding blue chiffon vr*
# vet, made especially for Mrs. Hardin?
and sent to the White House la
week." Worth $.">.000, at least.
If the President saves a few small
* coins on his old shoes, what does
permit and endorse when it coimes to
spending n oney from the people'*
Treasury?money wrung from empty
pockety, sometimes called ^'bannerof
Republican prosperity?" Here is
n sample: The Congressional Keoor
of Jau. 21 contained the official flg,
ures on salaries paid by the Shippim- j
Board, and,all the while most of the!
vessels of the Board are lying a' j
anchor, as Idle as painted ships upon i

2 men are paid $3.r>,000 each; 1 is paid
$30,000; 2 pet $23,000; 7 attorneys
provided at from $1T>,000 to $20,000
each: 7 Cji.T.uiissioners and Chairmar

$4,140; 18 at $4,000; 79 at $3,900; I4f
at $3,600; 6 at $3,500 and 74 at $3,300
Here are hundreds of jobs in one
sub-division of the Government a'
figures, ranging from $3,300 up to $35,000,
and they are not under the C
Service either! You hungry Republicans
who worked hard for Harding
and now find yourselves in financial
difficulties, out of a job or deserving
of recognition, get busy! You ca
hold these jobs and perform the du-1
-ties as well as those now getting the i
fat salaries. Some of them admitted
before an investigating committee that
hey never made $2,500 a year in tb
ll.es before getting their present
snaps. Many of them have little political
pull back of them. Letters and
t.iinsrpaniis to vour Reoresentatives
and Senators should land you a plu'
have all your friends get busy?if
you/ Republican Congressmen can't j
got you something. they arc t?ot the
proper kind and should hi r?; laved
with better job-getters. The figtires
above are official?and there are other
Commissions, Boards, Bureaus and
Departments that have places and the
Republican leaders should have thecn.
The Democrats believe in party government
and they believe that thhigher
places should go to the leaders
of the party in control, so that there
can be no divided responsibility. If
they don't go to the Republican leaders
in the States, then the Republicans!
in Congress aro responsible.
Republican economy has gone t'
such furious lengths that Secretary
Mellon announces that there can be
no bonus this year because there is
going to be a deficit of three hundre !
millions of dollars at the end of the
the fiscal year, which is June :i0, at'
midnight. Makes it look dark for the
b?>ys who went to France. Bv the
way, the Board of Public Works of
New York City finds 200.'">o?> ablebodied
men out of employment in the
city alone. 75,000 of whom; are veterans
of the war. Speaker Clillett says
"nothing can bring prosperity again
except self-denying economy and incessant,
productive work." That being
the case, when will prosperity re
turn lor tne zuu.uuu in inai one uij
who can't find work?
Engagements Cancelled.
Owing to serious sickness in his
congregation, Dr. Watson B. Duncan
cancelled engagements to speak in
Florence, 8. C., and Augusta, Ga.,

Teachers Entertained by Motlvrs
Clnb. I
Last Wednesday afternoon, the 2f>thi
the teachers were given a lovely rei
ception at the beautiful home of Mrs.
I Spruill ly the Mothers Club.
As the guests arrived they were
met at the door by "a Mother'* who
gave eaca one a warm welcome. We
were invited into a room (with mir.
"rors on all sides) to take off our
wraps. Wo were next ushered into
the spacious drawing room where
seven tables . were placed for rook
Standing on each table was a dainty
little lady to show u? the number of 1
the table. After much talking and;<
running around, the teachers finally!'
found their places at the tables. Not 1
a mother said?V'De quiet." '
A lively game was enjoyed for I
about an hour, all talking at the 1
same time. Our score card3 were
then taken up. Three tied for first I
prize; Mrs. Thrower, Miss Wiggins
and .Miss Mattie Duvall. There was '
great excitement over the cutting for i
the prize. Miss Mattie Duvall won J

chi f. Aliss Belle Hurt was the fortunu.e
winner of .the consolation
prise, a box of powder.
Y\v were asked to ramain at our
tables ur.d last but not least a delicious
salad course wais served, followed
by coffee which was greatl"
enjoyed by all.
A lively, happy and .appreciative
corp of teachers then said good-bye
to th fir hostesse^.
A new feeling of close and friendly
relations between parents and
teachers is steadily growing, and i
rightly so. for next to the parent

GRAVES IN ST.
DAVIITSCEMETERY
Near the walk between the gate
and the church ^ the grave of
"William PeWitt Evans
Born July 1819
Died April 1915
He was the first chairman of the
Railroad Com(;ndssion' of South Carolina
and a trustee of Clemson College.
He served in the Senate, as mayor of
Cheraw and President of the Board
of Trade. It was largely through his
efforts that tfic River Lane between
the Bridge and Cross Roads was built
under government supervision. I'p tc
that time it was one of the worst pieces
of road in the state.
Many years ago the state got a
large revenue for royalty on the
phosphute rook mined from the bedr
of the rivers in the lower part of the
state. This state then produced most
of the phosphate rock in America.
A New York syndicate made a propsition
to South Carolina to buy the
exclusive rights to mining this rock.
A committee was appointed to deal
with them, Mr. Evans was chairman
of the committee. He named a price
of six million dollars, that being the
bonded debt of the state and his idea
was to take the money and pay up the
state debt.
The syndicate put up a large certified
check, while the committee reported
to the senate their trad? for
i onfirmation. For some reason the
senate refused to confirm it 60 the
leal was off. The very next. year
fihosphates were discovered in Florida
ind Tennessee, where it could be min?d
cheaper and was a higher grade.
?onsequeutly the sale of phojphate
rock In this state began slumping.
S'ow mining of the rock in South Caro*
ina has almost ceased and the sta
;ets practically nothing from that
;ouroo. If Mr. Evans could have car ieil
his point the state would have
ieon six miliou dollars better off.
Only two of his sons reside here
low, Frank P. and Thos. S. Evans.

Boy Scouts Will Celebrate Their l?th
Anniversary.
This Anniversary of the Boy Scouts
of America is unique. It is the
twelfth, and that is the minimum ngc
at which boys may join the Mov
ment as tenderfoot scouts. So the.
Movement itself is a tenderfoot.
Every Scouting community has . its
program though they are not all alike.
But all of them will include the solemn
reaffirmation of the Oath and
Law by every scout, where possible, j
at 8 o'clock on the evening of Wed-'
nesday, February 8th, the Birthduy of
the Movement. This annual ceremony
will take place at troop meetings or;
at public meetings, whatever local
authorities arrange. It will be .a
nution-wide observance of the opening.
of Anniversary Week. Every scout:
will be attired in the uniform of his
trcop, looking his bestj and with his
face set toward high kchieve.T.fcnt ini
Scouting in the year ahead.
There will be Father and Son Bin-;
quets, every scout Inviting his dad or
nearest male relative. This is a
favorite custom in Scouting. It has
Drought many fathers into a bet'.er
understanding of their boys and a
closer intimacy with thorn. Sometime
the "banquet" is prepared by the
scouts, hi pood camp fashion. The
constitution of the Boy Scouts of
America requires that Anniversary
W%ek shall always include February]
8th and February 12th. The Movement
Is nothing If not patriotic, and
in every way the leaders keep ailve
the in?einory of America's great men.
Snnday, February 12th, is Scout
Sunday, another fixed feature of
Anniversary Week. Scout sermons
are the rule in churches. Scouting
has a place in the Sunday School program.
Another featuire inseparable
from Anniversary Week is a civic
Good Turn of some character, and
faithful atteution to the Dally Good
Turn.
One day in Anniversary Week is
set aside for presentation of Scouting
In schools, uud uiost school authorities
arc heartily iu sxtmipathy with
the idea. A quite unusual feature will
distinguish Anniversary Week this
year throughout the country, it being
hoped that the mayor in every scout
town and city will publicly subscribe
to the Oath and Law and be received
into th.? organization as an Honorary,
Tenderfoot Scout. In capital cities,.
Governors will do this.

Cheraw, S. C.
Dear Sir:
Among the matters of interest before
the Legislature are the new revenue
measures the extension of t'
t'me for payment of taxes, extension
nf the tiive for the operation of the
stock law in the lower part of the
state and various other proposals concerning
bad checks, use of steel traps,
hours of labor in certain industries,
twelve instead of six months time for
redemption in case of tax sales, interest
rate. Highway Department, do?
license, and in fact proposals covering
almost everything and affecting
every person in the state.
The House passed and sent to the
Senate during the past week three
measures designed to lighten the tax
1 ? --? -> ? .1 4D.. 1?/\?? -1 Lit ??i Li 11 /\ EKa KM r
levy clI1U HI luitutu uioiuuutc unt
icn of taxation, to wit: increased license
fees on domestic corporations
ind increased license fees on foreign
Liorporations, non-resident persons,
[inns or co-partnerships for admission
to do business in this state, and "the
hydro-electric tax which imposes a
tax of one-third of a nr.111, for each kilowatt
hour of electric power produced
by water-power within the state^
>f South Carolina.
There remains for consideration of
he House, probably Tuesday, the luxury
tax bill which imposes a tax on
certain articles of consumption as
?oft drinks, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco
muff, small arms ammunition, motor
.'ehicles,'etc., and imposes a tax on
admissions paid to amusements, enertainments,
contest.*, places of inoresi,
etc. charged for tin individual
>r firm profit ofjCourse, and exclusive
>f religious and such like institutions.
The above mentioned so-called luxlrv
tax, if passed by both House and
Senate and approved by the Governor,
ivould largely be collected by the sale
>f stamps to be placed on the article,
f would necessitate inspection from
ime to time by agents of the tax comnission.
It has certain nuisance feaures
which are objectionable. The
passage of the present bill through
joth House and Senate is not all cerain
so far as I ami able to judge. I
lave been told that the proposed tax
vill require such time and energy of
he retailer as will exceed in value the
ictual cash value return from the conmmers
to the State, thereby Imposing
i burden not only on the consumer
jut also on the retailer. While noninmmittal
as yet, I am inclined to op
>osed to many features of it.
1 understand that the proposed conititutional
amendment regarding the
ax levy is not certain of passage by
>oth the House and Senate. A twohirds
vote forjt is necessary in bo!h
)odies. Maybe an atmendment which
iocs not give the Legislature unlimit:d
power, but which does take off
aresesnt restrictions will be adopt. :l
ind' presented to the people next
iummer. " .
The inheritance tax bill has passed
he Senate with amendments, and it
s believed that the gasoline tax bill
vill pass the Senate within the next
ew days. /
Trusting the above matters are of
nterest to our people, 1 am,
Yours very truly, /
L. C. WANNAMAKER.
