Hawkins Whitworth Corbett, leading physician of Anderson county, had a large funeral on Sunday at the Presbyterian church at Anderson. He was born -12 years ago in Lee county. The Spartanburg chamber of commerce is boosting a plan to have the monthly salary warrants of school teachers broken up into small denominations, so the teachers may use theni in the stores to buy things. Greenville county is thinking about solving its need for money by issuing short term notes in small denominatiohs to sell to citizens of that county generally, instead of to the banks. The United States supreme court plainly indicated its intention to decide that South Carolina has the right to tax all gasoline sold in the state, at the argument of the case before it. An air transport company contested the tax, because the gasoline was to be used in interstate commerce, although it is compelled to buy gasoline inside this state. All retail stores within towns and cities in this state are now called on to pay the special license tax levied on them by the state, before April 1. This special tax on business has not been collected hitherto, pending a decision on its constitutionality which was affirmed recently by a threejudge federal court. As soon as the federal aid road law gets through congress, within a few weeks, there will be available over $3.0(H).000 for road building in South Carolina out of the pocket of good old fcinolo Sam. The Lancaster eounty delegation rushed an ac t through the legislature j enabling that county to borrow en.-ugh from the sinking fund com|m;--ion to pay teachers their salaries 1 !

The treasurer of Darlington county uses a big display advertisement in the local newspaper to say the county wants to borrow $30,000 to payall its school teachers one month salary, and to borrow it from the people of the county. He proposes to issue notes In denominations of $100 to $1,000 at 6 -per cent, payable in one year, and pledging for thetrt all the uncollected taxes and $60,000 the county hopes yet to receive from tho 6-0-1 apportionment.
