Starting at the southwestern corner of the country, one- comes upon the part of I^arche on the Atlantic coast, and its neighbor, the fishing village of Arzila; then Ceuia at the country's northern tip, and the Mediterranean mineral port of Melilla near the eastern end Tetuan, the capital and largest city, is comparable in size to Lorain, Ohio, a baby metropolis of 44,000 people. It lies just inland from th?- undeveloped port of Rio Martin, and has developed small industries in Morocco leather, tiles and pottery. The second and third largest cities do not belong to the protectorate at all. but are Spain's own territory Ceuta, governed as part of Cadiz, was taken by Spain in 15S0, and Melilla has been Spanish since the days of Columbus. Ceuta lure-s many visitors, and Its crowded oriental bazaars attract them with rare brassware prized in Europe since the Middle Ages This ancient city, once a slave market, was the first in Africa to have transatlantic telephone service. Tke cities all have a European quar- j te-r. or at least some modern hotels But they are nevertheless mainly | Moorish, although the official lang- ' uage is Spanish Moorish.

Spanish Morocco's highland core, i the Riff mountain range, has not been thoroughly explored. The zone's j southern and eastern boundaries.: which t russ this region, have never j bc-en cTearly de-fined. The mountains! shelter tierce Riff tribesmen, almost) fanatically opposed to Spanish protection. who staged dangerous revoltsas re-centl> as harassing the large Spanish anil) of occupation j with th'-ir accurate sniping. In less turbulent moments the highland people tend sheep and goats on the cedar-clad hillsides, and contribute hides, skins and wool to the brief list of the country's exports.; Crude agriculture keeps the coastal ; plain's inhabitants out of mischief,! but scant crops of grains, beans, olives and fruits produce little surplus for export. Cork forests are worked. The large-scale producers of Spanish Morocco are chickens, quan tities of cgirs beiug shipped to European kitchens. An exciting unknown quantity is the ! country s natural buried treasure. Iron ore is mined to some extent, mainly around the ore port of Melilla; but known deposits of zinc, lead and copper have not yet revealed all ! their possibilities. Bat kwoods transportation methods have delayed mining developement.

" I Clciuion, Teh t> One of the outstanding things 10 eouoeclloo with numerous studies uf tax delinquency, being conducted by the Lepartment of Agricultural Economics and the South Caruitua Ex^ierimeDt Station, la 1 the fact that bo many of thoae who 'ate delinquent owe ?ucb a small amount Ao an exam|rfc of this, ti. H. Aull, , h? ad of the Department of A*ricultuj' ai Economic*, who is in charge of these studies, states that on the basis of lofortuatiou furnished him by J. H Nobiitt, delinquent la* collector of < Anderson county, nearly 17,000 tax payers are delinquent who do not own any real estate and whose property, 1 poll, and road taxes amount to comj paratlveiy little. Mr Aull points out ' that approximately 7u per cent of j these individuals who are delinquent from one to six years have an annual i tax bill of less than fa.oo, and nearly \to per cent owe less than $10.0V p**r year. In view of the inequalities known to exist in the assessment of property, and in view of the relatively high i ost of collecting such small amounts1 the question is raised as to whether it might not be preferable to inipoae an annual registration' charge of $3 00 to $5.00 upon all tax payers, the same to be credited if the umpuui of taxes due exceeds the registration charge," Mr. AulJ suggests. "Those unable to pay could at least be 'located' and possibly referred to public welfare agencies. I ' The location of Anderson with ref| erence to Clemson College makes it I possible for close cooperation in the study of tax problems, and other valuable information of state-wide importance will be reported as soon as other data secured in cooperation with Mr. Nobiitt can be analyzed." Statutory charges have been filed against Stanley S. Backus, 19, who recently became the husband of Leona Elizabeth Roshia, 12, at Watertown, N. Y. The girl is an expectant mother. Three persons were killed and a fourth injured when their car plunged into a bayou near Houina. La. Students To Meet In Mountain City Greenville, 8 C, Feb 8.?
