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.

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

counties and the bill to regulate the

of children on the public

Wightman, originally intending to
abolish truant officers. The house
meausure makes it a matter of local j
ODtion.

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.

If constipation were a lighted bomb,'would you carry it about !
with you waiting for someone to put it out? No. You would get
i rid of it as quickly and effectively as possible.
But constipation, though not so sudden in its effect, is an insidi- jj
