Exchange Club Notes
Last Tuesday's meeting of tho Exchange
Club was in charge of James
D. 55emp and L. E. Graham. They
had invited Mayor J, H. Osborne to
speak on "Manufacturing of Cotton
Seed Oil and Ginning,' which proved
most Interesting to the club.
A negro quartette from Browning
Home rendered several numbers.
Politicians Cross Eyed
It is an old South Carolina custom
to extend the time for paying property
taxes and the 1936 session of the general
assembly has not departed therefrom.
One notes, however, in all this show
of solicitude for the taxpayer, the
conspicuous absence of any suggestion
for extension of the time for paying
income taxes:
Your income taxpayer, being usually
not a farmer, is in the minds of numerous
legislators one of the "plutocrats"
and it is probably not regarded ;
as good politics to make any gesture |
of sympathy for him!?Greenville!

JOHNSTOWN FLOOD 18 RECALLED
Recent floods in the Conem&ugh
valley of Pennsylvania recall the disaster
in that valley May 31, 1889,
when a dam across the Conemaugh
river, eighteen miles above Johnstown,
released a flood of water that rushed
down the valley eighteen miles in
seven minutes, sweeping everything
before it. The people of the valley
had been warned so often about the
danger of the dam giving way that
few heeded the warnings sent down
that May afternoon until it was too
late. A horseback rider, shouting to
the people to "flee to the hills" reachthe
town only a half mile ahead of
the wall of water. Fires added to the
horror. Avtotal of 2,236 lives were
lost and It was one of the greatest
disasters In the history of the United
States. More than $3,000,000 was
raised tor the sufferers, enough to repair
all damage done, feed, clothe and
restore refugees to their homes, pension
widows who lost husbands, care
for orphans and divide up $2,000,000
in cash among the victims of the flood
in proportion to their losses.
