I*aUMt scientific statement con cerning ttiia univerae, in, which^ wo are ltfc>a than microbe*, and the earth led* than a grain of dust, ! startles you. Our aun, a mijlio.n timei a* big as thia earth, is only a spedk in what men have called "the uni verse," which contains endless mil lions of suns, some a million times bigger than ours. It's hard enough to think of such a universe as thaf. And now the wise Dr. Hubble, of Mt. Wilson Observatory, tells the California Institute of Technology that a million "univorses" such as ours are visible at horrible distances from the earth. Kxamine an atom, and you find a central body around which revolvo other bodies as the planets revolve around our sun^ Theae electrons re volve around the nucleus billions of times in a second. * Atoms, of which you ct>uld have millions in one corncr of your eye without noticing them, are small solar systems. Our mum and. its plarot* constitute 'one atom in our universe.- That uni verse in turn is one atom in the entire universe. Where in that over whelming space are the heaven to which we look forward and the other place that we dread? Leaving this earth' in a straight traveling ii1 the speed of light, 180.00U mrttrs m second, it would take you one hundred million years to get beyond the telescopic maze of the universe.

K?r*h??r ReprtMiUUrt Initinti ? Morenrat ia The tiuwr (J. E. Brunaon in Greenville Newt) Columbia, March 4.- Prospect* for the passage at the present session of the General Assembly of a measure designed to equalize the property tax system of SoUth Carolina appeared brighter this afternoon than at auy time during the session, following the adoption today of a resolution by Representative Mendel L. Smith, of Kershaw County, providing for a special committee to report to the House a bill to this end. The special committee appointment today under Mr. Smith's r Solution met this afternoon and natped a tub* committee . consisting of Representa tive Boyd of Spai-tanburg, Stukea of Clarendon and McLauri-n. of Marl" boro which is to make a report at a meeting of Uie main committee to morrow mSrning on certain basic in formation upon which a bill may be prepared to be submitted to the House. Judge Smith, who was named a member of the committee by the speaker, waa elected chairman of the group, and declared thia afternoon that he and his committee would make a genuine effort to bring about the passage at this session of a meas ure to put into operation aorae sys tem of property equalization in South Carolina. The Senate will co-operate fully with the House in its effort to work out a system of property tax equal ization, in th6 opinion of Senator Roach Stewart of Lancaster, leader ! of the upper house last year for a 1 revaluation of property in the state. "The House, I feel sure, can count upon the complete co-operation of the Senate in any effort to work out a tax equalization measure," said Sen ator Stewart. The Senate passed the revaluation meaKure last year, and it is still in the custody of the house ways and means committee. In this situation it is incumbent upon the House to mftke the first move toward bringing about j an agreement with the Senate and possiBT y the latter body will wa it TcT see what the House does but at any rate it will stand ready to, offer any assistance it can in getting a bill that will meet the ideas of both houses. | Representative Mendel Smith, au ; thor of the resolution adopted today, said this afternoon that he was un ' willing for the General Assembly to adjourn without taking some decisive action, one way or the other, on whaf he considered the two fundamental measures in tax* reform ? equalization and classification. "So far nothing whatever has been done" said MrA Smith, "afid I feel that the legislature, owes it to the people of the state to take up in a constructive way these vital points in the reform of the state tax system. "I am not willing for the legis lature to adjourn without taking any action whatever on these matters. There should be something else be sides total indifference; either the legislature ought to adopt to these measures, or put itself on record as refusing to adopt them. The ques tions of classification is something that must be submitted to the peoplo in the form of constitutional amend ment; there is no reason why the leg islature should not permit the people of the state to vote on this question and express their desires. The mat ter of equalization of the property assessments is a vital and fundament al step, and the session should not go by without a definite decision on the part of the legislature either to do it or refuse to do it. "The special committee expects to bring a measure before the House providing a plan of equalization of the property tax in this state and the issue will be squarely placed before the legislature to approve such a pro gtam or to reject it." The resolution offeied toda> by Mr. Smith was for the appointment by the speaker of a special committee of nine, to report to the House as early as practicable :n the form of a bill, a plan for property tlix equal isation. The :esolu'.ii.n wa* adopted and Speaker Hrowr appointed as members Rep: ?*senta* i yps Smith; D. L. McLaurin of Marlbc-r ?; T. H. Stukes of ( 'larendor ; .1. W.
