In some sections of the county it is hoped that fine seasons will enable the planters to make up for two bad crop years that followed in succession.

Can sho TRACTOF FOf i i i % f MOVIES ARE TAXED HIGH i i I The owners of moving picture thea- 5 tres all over South Carolina are won- | dering why the legislature has seen \ fit to affix to them the hardest bur- I den of taxation. j It is interesting to read a state- ment of what they are already paying as taxes .before considering the added i burden that will come to them with i the new tltx - 0t? sales fixed by the re- j cent act of the General Assembly in : Columbia. Moving picture theatres are already paying eleven different kinds of taxes: 1. State and county ad valerem tax ($3.90 per $100.00) 2. City ad valerem tax. . tjiiy license tax. 4. Domestic Corporation Franchise tax (Based on Capital Stock.) 5. State Income tax ( 1-3 of Government tax.) i . Federal tax on admissions (10</c.) 7. Federal Seating tax ($5 to $200 per Theatre per year.) 8. Federal Excise Tax on Film Rentals. | 9. Federal Income tax. 11. Music tax (10c per seat per year.) The new tax provided by .the recent act will muke twelve in all. This would certainly seem to show that the burden is harder on this in clustry than on many others which control a whole lot move business and money than is handled by the moving picture shows. The new bill provides a special commission composed of Governor Mc< Leod, Senator H. H. Gross, Representative Claude N. Sapp, and a State tax commission, to review the claims of interests afTected and make such modifications in the tax laws as they deem warranted. W. G. Querry, chairman of the State Commission, is also chairman of this special commis ion. This committee provided by the new tax law can look into these matters and make changes, if it will, that n ay equalize the burden anions those who will have to pay this new tax. mrsTablard WORKED HERE Mrs. Henrietta Ablard, State field nurse, who has been conducting a four months campaign in Horry County to instruct the colored people of that county in principles of health pnd infant care, has just returned to Columbia. Eight classes with an enrollment of 196 were conducted during the campaign. Forty-eight mid-wives received certificates. The other members of the classes attended the courses in or-, der to be able to care for their children and families in a more intelligent manner. Mrs. Ablard states that she "nns never had better co-operation in i*nv work that she has done. The work was carried on with Shepherd-Tow;ier funds, a fund appropriated by Congross to carry on work for infants, under the direction of the bureau of child hygiene, of the State Board of Health. o uonway h:is a print shop wnere you can jret nlmost any kind of prinMnj? vou r^o<l in this Dart of the country.
