J. B. Scott, Richland coroner, was notified and proceeded as far as Bookman, en route to the Bcene, where he found out that the body had been discovered about a mile over in Fairfield county. Therefore as the case was out of his jurisdiction, he returned to Columbia, asking Bookman people to notify the Fairfield authorities. While Coroner Scott did not see the body, he talked with persons who had viewed it, and was told that from all appearances the man had been hit by n train and that the accident had occurred several days ago. The body had been under water and was found yesterday when the stream un der the culvert subsided. Bookman people, wilh whom Mr. / Scott talked, said that the man wa.V not known to them. He was described as having red hair but further than that Mr. Scott obtained no accurate description. Only a casual investigation has so far been made, but Mr. Scott said apparently there was no foul play. As the roads are in bad shape in that community, the Fairfield coroner could hardly make the trip to the scene last night, it being late in the afternoon when he was notified.?The State. Pacolet Yesterday I attended the funeral of Mi*. M. C. Gault, better known 83 Moxy, who died Sunday in New Hope church, of which he was a member, after making a brief talk in the Sunday school. He had often said he wanted to die serving the Lord. I^e was always kind and jolly and made many friends. He proved this by the many friends who were there to p*?y - their last tribute of respect to him. Moxy was my uncle, and I loved him too. We all having tasted of sorrow's bitter cup, know how hard it is to j***" J tare well iu tinge." 1 ' He was taken for a purpose and for what purpose we do not know. But we must look to God in our sorrow because He says "blessed be they that mourn for they shall be comforted." We must trust in Him all these years and some day we will all be happy once again. Let us live in such c way that when we come to the en-1 of life's journey we may enter into the joys of our Lord. Dear ones weep not for your loved one, Since God in His goodness knows best; And in His mercy towards us Has called him to eternal rest. To us it seems such a pity for a man like him to die, But our Lord has a place prepared For such men to dwell on high. So whenever you miss him most, Tx)ok up to blue, starry sky And think how happy he is there; That you will join him bye and bye. Yolande. In Memory of "Uncle Mack" It didn't make any difference about the weather that came each day; You could find Uncle Mack cheerful in the same old way. When he came to town a crowd could around him be found, lie always had a smile instead of a frown, For any one that met him from the country or the town. Now as that smile has been taken from our midst, Gives us a warning that some day wo shall be added to that list. Leon Gore. Jonesville, S. C. Polo Matches For Benefit Storm Sufferers \ Aiken, S.

LUXURY TAX BUI KILLED IN SENATE By an overwhelming vote of 30 to 10 the senate yesterday at the day i session killed the luxuries tax bill on j motion of Senator Hamilton of Ches- t tec to strike out the enacting words. ; The bill was taken up soon aftei i the morning session was bogun and t Senator Johnston's amendments ? which wore offered Tuesday were \ read, but action was deferred on j them. These amendments struck out t automobiles, perfume, cologne and a i number of other articles as well as reduced the tax on all other articles t in the bill to one-half as originally i provided. They were not acted upon i however, because of the entire meas- t ure being killed. Considerable debate was entered t into on the bill, Senators Hamilton, c Pearce and Beasley leading the fight t to kill the bill, while Senators John- ? stone and Jeremiah Smith pressed t for the passage of the measure. t , Senator Hamilton opened thv de i bate against the bill, declaring that > "the Chicago experts" had admitted t that they had worked up the bill, t Mr. Hamilton said South Carolina si had not reached a point where such c "experts" were needed to make law-; j for South Carolina. Senator Hamil- * ton said these "Chicago experts" had s drawn $15,000 from the state govern- ' ment and that one had drawn $2,000 u for "loafing around the State House t from January 1 to the last^of Febru ary." Mr. Hamilton said one of the 1 "experts" had appeared before Ihe f (ommittee and hod told the commit- t tee he had worked up the details of e the bill. Senator Hamilton said he i was as good a friend of the farmer a- i any man, that he had been reared on c a farm, his people were farmers, but that he did not think this was a good 1 bill for the farmers.?The State. a Tea For Bride , ?? c A charming social event of the early \ spring, was the afternoon tea given by Miss Mary E.

TELEPHONE BILL FINALLY PASSED A general decrease of all telephone intes in the state to the charges in force January 1, 1921, Is carried in ho Foster telephone bill passed by he senate Tuesday night and last light finally agreed to in its amended form by the house and ordered mi oiled for ratification. The meas jre therefore lacks only the formal 'ouline of ratification and the signaller of the governor to become effective. The bill as originally introduced by he house provided for a scale of niiiimum rates for the state, but the louse judiciary committee to which he bill was referred substituted in itead a measure to provide for a reurn to the rates in force through?ut the state in Jnnuary 1, 1921, pHpr o the last increase granted by the date railroad commission after sev>ral months of hearings and deliberaions. The senute amended the lbi! n two important particulars, prodding. first, for the reinstatement of he free interurban toll service, which he railroad commission had oliminited, and, scondly, that the telephone ompnnies might, if they desire, apical to the state railroad commislion for any changes from the rate ichadule as provided in the bill, rhctao senate amei^dmjmts were igreed to by the house without delate or opposition. This measure in reinstating the fanunry, 1921, rate schedule provides or decreases in rpactically every ily and town in the state, with the xception of one, in which the comnission in drawing up its new schedile reduced the charges to make them onform to the rates in the other exhanges of the same size in the state, this return to the old rate schedule dso throws in the discard the equalzation system adopted by the railroad commission under which ex hange sof similar sizes were charged dentical rates. Governor Cooper has no indicated lis attitude on the measure.?The State., 'resident to Spend Weelc in Florida ?*Jr. 1' ' . . -?+> . >/.vr On Eoard Presidential Train, March President Harding is looking forvaid enthusiastically to his first day's .acation aboard the special train car ying his pnrty to Florida for a week's rest.

WILL NOT ATTEND GENOA CONFERENCE Washington, Maul. 8?The Amcr ican government tod ay declined the in citation to participate in the interna tional economic and financi.il confer mce to be held at (ienoa next month cn the ground that the conference i: lot primarily an economic one "bui 3 rather a conference of u politica character in which the government ol die United States could not helpfully aarticipate." The refusal to enter the conferenct vas contained in a note from Sec re ary Hughes to Ambassador Ricci ol Italy who had pvoented the invita don on behalf of his government ,vhich in turn was acting for the al ied ambassadors' council. Ambassador Ricci immediately com nunicated the text of the note to hi? government. The note stated that, while tin American people were desirous o mutably assisting in the recovery o he economic life of Europe, the Unit ;d States government could not he un mindful of the "clear conviction" ol he people "that they should not un necessarily become involved in Euro iiean political questions." The conviction was expressed thai ill considerations of economic re\iva .vould be futile without the establish nent in Russia of the essential huso; if production outlined in the puhlh leclaration of the American govern mcnt on IV^arch 25, 1921, and urgee that "adequate action" to that en< jo taken 011 the part of "those chiefly responsible for Russia's present eco lontic disorder." In that connection it was also pointid out in the note that the American government believes nothing should bt tlone looking to the obtaining ol conomic advantages in Russia whicV vou.d impair the just opportunities .1 others." and warning was issuer hat "fair and equal economic opportunity" in Russia was expected by he United States in the interest ol Russia itself as well as that of a! >ther powers.

BRAVE RADIO MAN LAUGHS AT DEATH New York, March 8.?The gnrn hu mor of a wireless opeiator, who laughed at death and slashed striking bits of wit into tho echer as his ship, the Norwegian steamer Grontoft, wallowed and slowly sank during a mid-Atlantic hurricane last Thursday, was recorded on the radio log of the Danish steamer Estonia, arvi\ ing today. Each detail of the ship's plight, each call for aid, was supplemented by the jesting comment of the radio man, whose identity is still unknown. He talked as if he were going on a lark <n port instead of to the bottom of I he sea. His last message, a disjointed one, was a series of witticisms? with death as the butt of the j<dce. The Estonia herself, hard hit in the .'0 mile gale, made a valiant but untavessful effort to reach the Gronloft, which first sent out calls for aid d 10 o'clock last Thursday morning, reporting her position as about 700 miles east of Cape Race. The Estonia it that time was 48 miles west of the iisabled Norwegian and steaming in an opposite direction Capt. Hans Jortenson ordered hs ship about and she iearned toward the Grontoft. Meanwhile Radio Operator Hansen engaged the operator of the Gronoft in conversation. The latter sent ut first the following -i stereotyped rony^of the seas: "God pity 'he poor sailors on a night like this." Then followed a series of "Ha, Ha." "And say." he continued, "the old man thinks this calm will be over by nightfall. We sure need some breeze."' An hour later an urgent call for aid was sent rut by the Grontoft and her Iterator irsie.l n?*n'm "Well, iho steward is making sandwiches for the lifeboat?;. Looks like we a?v going on a picnic." Again a half hour later. l.<- sent: "The old wagon has a list like a rundown hoe!. This is no weather for i fellow to he out in without an umbrella." "Hold on," returned the Estonia's wireless. "We'll be alongside soon." Th.? Grontoft did net reply until 40 minutes later. Then: "We are sinking stem first. The b?M out any longer. "The skipper dictated that.?he night to know?where did I put my hat?sorry we can't wait for you, pressing business elsewhere"S?" The Estonia's operator quoted in roily these lines: "What dam of lances brought thee forth, l'o jest at dawn with death?" Hut there was no answer. Six hours after picking up the first call from the Grontoft the Estonia reached her reported position and. though she cruised about for four hours, failed to iind even a trace of wreckuge. The Grontoft, from Galveston, New trleans and Norfolk, was on route for Isbjf rj She had a crew of 30.
