[ GOVERNOR SIGNS NUMEROUS ACTS BILLS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN NOW LAW. A HOLDS UP QUARTET. It Measures of Importance Get "John Hancock" of the Chief V Executive. m Columbia, March 8.?Geyernor m Cooper yesterday completed signing f all the bills passed by the general asl sembly at the session closing Sunday, * with the exception of four measures Of statewide effect and four county bills in duplicate. The total number passed is 444. rvlor^Qfl Tile C i P*_ JL JUL C U111 C L C A C L U 11 > C 1' ^ w v v v*. ii * o kj a q nature on several bills of interest to the women of the state, the measures thereby becoming law. He signed the measure of Representative Sapp placing the females on a parity with men' in all elections in South Carolina, general and primaries. The measure places the same age limit and the same constitutional requirements on the new made electors. Another measure fathered or perhaps mothered by the women was the measure raising the age of consent of a woman child from 14 to 16. This act wa3 signed and is now law. The bill, besides raising the age of consent from 14 to 16, provides that if the woman child be over 10 years of age the jury may bring in a special verdict recommending _the mercy of the court and in this case the judge can not sentence the convicted man to more than 14 years in the penitentiary. Another provision is that when the girl is between the ages of 14 and 16 the punishment shall not exceed five years, the punishment to be in the discretion of the presiding judge. The most important provision of the measure is the last on? inserted at the insistence of Senator Clifton that provides where the defendant can prove previous unchastity of the girl that the punishment shall not exceed one year or a fine of $500. Representative cooper s measure fixing the open season for domestic doves and marsh hens in South Carolina from August 15 to March 1 was among the acts getting the "John Hancock" of the governor. The act amending the high school law so as to allow at least one state aided high school in each county was also signed and thereby became law. Ribbit Bill Signed. Representative Peurofoy's "rabbit bill," allowing persons to kill rabbits, raccoons, and squirrels on and after July 15 if the animals were eating crops was given the signature of the chief executive. The measure makes th? closed season for rabbits, raccoons, squirrels and opossums from March 1 to September 1, but allows the killing after July 15, if crops are being destroyed. Another "women's" bill, the one placing the females in the exempted class as to jury duty, was signed and is now the law of the state. The measure making it unlawful for any state or county officer to exceed the amount appropriated for the various offices and preventing the converting of one fund to another activity was signed. The governor also placed his signature on the bill to ratify a consti tutional amendment so as to allow cities and towns to own and operate ice plants. He likewise signed the measure introduced by C. T. Smith, i Jr., increasing- the number of names to be placed in the tales box from 400 to 800. The bill placing railway mail clerks in the exempted class as to serving on juries was given the executive approval and signed. Other measures of more than usual interest included the bill of Senator Miller enlarging the powers of cir. cuit judges at chambers, the measure reenacting the state warehouse law so as to eliminate certain objections raised by the federal reserve banks on the cotton certificates and making the term of the warehouse commission four years, the reenactment of the fishing laws with a .lumber of minor changes. Four Measures Hold Up. The Richland county supply bill, carrying a county levy of eight mills, was signed. The measure requiring telegraph ^mnanips to deliver messages free of charge in incorporated towns of 30,000 population or more, the bill by which Columbia assumes an old school debt of $10,000 from Shandon school district, the measure prohibiting anyone except members to wear the official emblem of the American Legion, the bill requiring state house watchmen to wear uniforms and badges and the three mill constitutional tax measure were among others getting the governor's signature. The four sbat&^'.de measures so far ROCKEFELLER HAS A BILLION. Fortune Totals That Sum With Gifts And Taxes Deducted. Washington, Feb. 19.?John D. Rockefeller, first billionaire in the history of the world, has gathered in $1,500,000,009 and probably has about $1,000,900,000 of it left after gifts and taxes have been deducted, it was pointed out here, after an analysis of income tax statistics just published by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. His yearly income is about $33,000,000. The fortune on the income of which he was taxed in 191S was about $650,000,000; or, reckoning in capital on which the income is tax exempt, ^ A n f tTAf> t* TI* O C* Hib LUlcti WCcULIi III uiat >cai ?? a.o probably between $$00,000,000 and $1,000,000,000, and at the present time is perhaps not much short of the latter figure. As his known benefactions amount to about $500,000,000, John D. Rockefeller has in his space of one lifetime accumulated about $1,500,000,000. Mrs. Harriman Richest Woman. The richest woman is undoubtedly Mrs. E. H. Harriman, she being widowed and the inheritor of nearly all her husband's fortune. The statistics of the Internal Revenue Bureau show that one woman, listed as "single," paid taxes for the year 1918 on an income of from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000. The residence of this woman is given in other tables as New York State. As for Mr. Rockefeller, the statistics show roughly that he paid income tax for the year 191S on a net taxable income somewhere between $20,00.0*000 and $25,000,000, probably about $22,000,000 after general deductions from his returned income of nearly $3,000,000. This, of course, did not include the exemptions on his charitable bequests, which undoubtedly amounted to the 15 per cent of his total income exempted by law, nor did it include the income from tax-exempt Liberty bonds, such as state and municipal bonds, which were excluded by law from federal tax. Bought City Bonds. Mr. Rockefeller was a large holder of municipal and state bonds when ' the law was passed exempting them, and as he bought these when interest was low, they capitalized high. At one time he is said to have bought $25,000,000 of New York City bonds in a single deal. By some it is estimated that Mr. Rockefeller's gross income in 1918 was somewhere between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000, probably more nearly approaching the larger figure than ] the smaller one. The same experts j figure that this income represents a ] capital of at least $800,000,000 and probably $1,000,000,000 or more. It is believed that his fortune has increased since that time until it now probably equals the latter figure. Only "Single" Croesus. There was but one man listed as "single" who reported a personal in come of more than $4,000,000. There were but three such incomes, one re- ( ported jointly by husband and wife, one by a "single" man not listed as the "head of a family," and one by a 1 '"single woman." John D. Rockefeller is a widower and therefore would be listed as "single." While the Internal Revenue Department refuses to give any in* ? i i ? ? _ r? ^ formation as to tne identity 01 me persons paying the taxes on these great incomes, it is obvious that Mr. Rockefeller is the only "single man" in the United States who would pay taxes on an income of more than $4,000,000. ? ^ mm Cash and Carry Store in Barnwell. Barnwell is showing another evidence of being a growing town. W. H. Ray, of Denmark, has opened up a "piggly wiggly" or cash * and carry grocery store in the former stand occupied by Hogg's Market on Main street. It is understood that the Denmark Wholesale Grocery Co. is behind the new enterprise. The attractive prices offered, and the courteous management of Mr. Ray proved very attractive to the public during the time it has been in operation.?Barnwell People.

CARDUI HELPED REGAIN STRENGTH / Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous and Depressed?Read Her Own Story of Recovery. Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. Stegall, Of near here, recently related the following interesting account of her recovery: "I was in a weakened condition. I was sick three years in bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don't think there is a better tonic made and I believe it saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of women have used Cardui successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments. If you suffer as these women did# take CarduL It may help you, too. At all druggists. E 85 A ___ 566 is a Prescription for Cold9, Fever and LaGrippe. It's the nost speedy remedy we know. J. F.
