Washington, Dec. 13.—The Senate

committee resolution directed the re
vival of the War Finance Corporation

The second section of the resolution

rected the extension of liberal credits
to farmers by the federal reserve sys
tem, was amended to make the desira
bility of such a course only an expres
sion of opinion of the Congress.
The amendment making the change
•n the section of the resolution relat
ing to the federal reserve system was
proposed by Senator Norris. Republi
can. Nebraska, and was accepted by
a vote of 47 to 16

( osl Keeps Rising.
An examination of several years
shows that the cost of* keeping the
grand old state moving' is continual-
ly rising. It might be interesting to
the average tax payer t(G.know that
in 1916 the general assefnbiy, appro
priated $2.4S6,110.29 for all state'pur
poses and to raise this sum a levy
of six and one-half mills was suf
ficient. In 1917 the appropriation
climbing to $2,985,846.77 and a levy of
eight and one-half mills, was suiTic-
Tent. In 1918- the appropriation
readied $3,366,875.28 and a levy of
eight and one-fourth mills was nec
essary to raise the figure. In 1919
the appropriation jumped to $3,874,-
522.78 and a nine mill levy. In 1920
the appropriation went 'to r $6,077,-
38143 and 12 mills. -F
Governor Cooper has said that-he
sees no way to ‘cut the expense and
if. the legislature, could see its way
clear to do so, it would be up to the
general assembly to do .the cutting.

A Coffin Surprise.
Anderson, S. C.. Dec. 9.—One . of
this county’s wealthy citizens was
shwked today when he received from
an undertaker a bill for 52 coffins.
An investigation proved the bill to be
correct. lowing large farming in
terests he, had been ‘ responsible for
coffins for negro tenants and it was
found-dthat^the undertaker through
neglect had not sent him a bill - for
over terf years. 4
strengthen the work of all the^ insti
tutions this year and to do this it is
pointed out that the money must be
appropriated. •" ‘
Governor Cooper, always in favor
of advancement and progress, is
plaqning to put the question square
ly up to the citizens and the legisla
ture. He h'»pes for an increased ap
propriation. and will lend, his efforts
to this end. / ‘ ^

The following new's item from the
Orangeburg Sun will be of interest to
the friends of Dr. and Mrs. Robert S.
Bailey who lived in Barnwell for a
couple of years while Dr. Bailey was
superintendent of the Barnwell High
Seh*»ol: t 4
Dr. Bailey has accepted the posi
tion of health officer of Nance County,
Elko, S. G. ' *'L C., and will have his headquarters
at Henderson. Miss Simpson has
gone to Virginia to take a course in
public health nursing. Dr. Bailey ex
pects to leave for his new work short
ly after December 1st.
Dr. Bailey assumed his duties here
as county health officer ip March,
1919. He stated last week that he
regretted very much to leave this
community, where he has many
friends with whom he has had pleas
ant acquaintance, but, after a care-
Alice Lard. fonsider^tion of the North Caro-
f lina offer, was forced to conclude
of product* other than those produced
on the farm. Amendment* submitted
by Senator Harris. Democrat. Georgia
to make the rate of discount cm loans

McKetlar 9 I*em«*cnit, Temtaaaee. te
make cotton factors* paper eligible for
discount, were rejected by overwheba-
