Governor Cooper said on one occasion that taxes could not be reduced, and I suppose that he was correct, when you take into consideration the bunch of law makers that he has to deal with. I im sure he, individually, could not .educe it-especially when the law nakers made it a business'of spend ng the weeks ends at home-some imes adjourning on Friday and not etting down to work until Monday light or Tuesday of the next week, ;herefore, you see a week was cut at )oth ends. And in this way and ther ways, they idled around and railed to work as they should and had to work over time on account o not keeping on their jobs regularly they then had to remain over a loi .)f time to do the work of the session atnd voted themselves extra pay foi this extra work. Not only did they :lo this, but they voted to increast their salaries from five to ten dollar: : (lay, and we tax payers are going to have a reckoning next- summer luring the -campaign in this Statt tnd in this county." What about this? Is it so? It is. The printed journals of both house: f the legislature of South Carolin .vill show numerous recent week-en< .djournments fropn Friday to Monday ir ..Tuesday. In the good old days when there. were no railroads, legisla tors went to Columbia got the jol done and didn't conic home until the, had finished. They come home nova as often as the spirit moves them. The Constitution of Sr. ch Carolina which the people cnl' can legall; change, declares in Article III Sectio: J that "Members of the General As sembly shall not receive any compen. sation for more than forty days of any one session,' The legislature at the session of 1920 deliberately disobeyed that command of the peo pie in the State Constitution and no only remained in session more that forty days but glso voted the mem hers extra pay. This was not onl: uncmnstitutional, but it madq a unconstitutional addition to the ta burdens borne, by the people. Let us consider se facts abou four sessions of the legislature: thos in 19l4, 1919, 1920 and 1921. Fiist. as to the length of session The s'ession of 1915 lasted from Jat 12 to Feb. 20. The session of 191f from .Jan. 14. to March 1. The ses ion1 (of 1920, from Jan. 13 to Marcl 6. The session of 1921, from Jan. 1 to March 5. Half a month nadded 01 in six vears.

Who dlid this? The members of the legislature hemselves. The le,gislators in 1920 sought tc tot around the Constitution by call ng the extra pay "expenses"-and Mo hy with it altho it wvas, in our plinion, an indefensible violation of he State Constitution. Su ppose Mr'. Kennemiore should ire a man who contracted to tlnish~ job) at $5 a (lay for not moro than: 0 (lays. If that man loafed on the ob and dlidn't finish it in the, speci ledl time andl then tried to charge Vir Kennemore $200 additional for 'expenses" would Mr. Kennemore .tive it to him? Neither het nor any >ther sensible man would, but that .s just wvhat the legislature did. As Ike Smith, the sage of Thicketty ays, you can put something over all the people some of the time, you can put something over some of the peo ple all of the time, but you can't put something over all of the people all af the time.

READ THIS What do you think of a man who > has made himself successful during the 15 years he has been paralized, flat on his back? . That's the record of Lee Mabry, of Albemarle, N. C. Riding on a wagon load of wood, 1 Lee-then a lad of 15-was lurched - to the ground. The wood piled up on top of him, crushing part of his back bone and breaking his arm, right leg and collarbone. The spinal injury left him per - manently paralized of motion and t feeling from the heart down. I Did Lee give up the fight and - mope? Not much! f He became a storehouse of sunshine 1 -conceived the idea of publishing a K paper, "Sunny South Sunshine." This little paper, with a big message, emer t ged from Lee's prison home to spread e good cheer. The paper reached a circulation of 6000, with over 2,000 copies sent free - to "shut-ins" all over the country, , Then came the war. Prohibitive - prices of paper forced Lee to stop I publishing. l It seemled as if his castle had crum ibled. But, determined not to become a burden on anyone he nowv tries ,to 'support himself by getting subscrip a tions to magazines. He works stead ily at his typewriter every day,.writ ing cherry letters to the wides circle ot' his friends, most of whom lhe has never seen. And every letter he sends carries on the outsidle these words, "Cheer upI!" You might send him an occasional subscription. His address is Lee Mab ry, Albemarle North Carolina. Incidentally, isn't his life story enough to make the rest of us asham ed of the things we. call "handicaps," and "troubles"? --Editorial in Cincinnati Post. SOUTH CAROLINA SCQREs EQUALLY WITH TEXAS. Four of the fifty leading agrictil tural counties in the United States are in South Carolina, according to a cen sus report just issucd. The fifty coun ties listed by the government lead in the~ combined value of crops and live stock products. In this order the four Sou thI Carolina counties hold twventy third, twventy-fourth, thirty-eigth and forty-seventh places. If the value of crops alone should be considered these counties would take much higher ranks, as many of tihe counties listedl around the top produce much mnore livestock products than the counties in this state. Only four Southern states have counties in the select fifty. South Carolina 'and 'Texas have fo'.r each, North Carolina three and Mississippi one. The four' counties in South Caro lina are Anderson, Orangeburg, Spartanburg and Marlboro In the or der named, and the value of the crops and livestock prodlucts of each is as follows: Anderson $28,528,158; Orangeburg, $23,427,879; Spartanburg $20,887,542. Marlboro, $19,419,921.
