JANUARY M, ItJt. £4' Simon Brown Family Holds Blackville, Jan. 18.—Sunday, Jan uary 11th, the Simon Brown family held a reunion here at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Brown in honor of the seventieth birthday of its old est living member, Mrs. Annie Levy, of Augusta. The late Mr. and Mrs. Simon Brown lived in Blackville for forty-three years, having come here in 1858. Mr. Brown was a merchant and farmer. He served in the Confederate army in Johnson’s brigade. He was a stock holder in the old “Cafolina Midland” raNroad, the first road built to con nect with the original South Caro lina railroad, the ’‘Best Friend” route. Mr. Brown and his eldest son, Michael, built and owned the railroad from Allendale to Perry, later bought by the Southern railWay. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had twelve children, Mrs. Levy being the third and now the oldest living. Brothers and sisters present at the reunion were: Mrs. Annie Levy, of Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. Jennie Sorentrue, Orangeburg; Mrs. Rekah Rich, Black ville; Charlie Brown, Barnwell; Her man and Isadore Brown, Blackville. Two were absent: Mrs. Sam Silver- street and Mrs. Herman Nachman, of Chicago, 111. Sons and daughters of Mrs. Levy with their husbands and wives present were: Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Levy, Tampa, Fla.; Mr. and Mrs. Simon Sorentruc, Charleston; Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Goldberg and Abram Levy, of Augusta, Ga. Two grandchildren of Mrs. Levy were present, Simon Sorentrue and Mr. and Mrs. Meyer Triest, of Charleston. Other guests at the dinner were: Mrs. Charlie Brown, Barnwell; Mrs. Isadore Brown, Blackville; Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Beer- wald, Philadelphia, Pa., and Mr. and Mrs. J. Willie Levy, Augusta. In the dining room of the Brown home, the twenty-six guests found their places at three tables which were lovely in appointments of China, sil ver and crystal glass/ Place cards were half hidden in salted almonds served in dainty China bon-bon dishes which were given as souvenirs of the occasion. In the center of the tables were silver flower baskets of orchid and pmk sweet peas, and white nar cissi. Tall silver candlesticks with pink candles were at either end. Green and pink mints in silver dishes were placed at intervals on the tables>. The guest of honor’s place, at the head of the table, was marked by a shoulder«corsage of valley lilies an<^ sweet peas. In front of this place a picture of the turkey 'served a thirty- seven pounder, and a number of tele grams and letters of congratulations were placed. At each brother’s and sister’s place there was a silver cup which had been presented to each by their parents on their fiftieth wedding anniversary and which bore the dates 1854-1904. From these cups they drank toasts to Mrs. Levy and to the family. In each plate tiny bouquets of sweet peas were tied with pink ribbon to the carved handle of a grapefruit shell holding fruit cock tail as the first course of the sump tuous dinner. After coffee the dinner made merry with fancy rubber balls, crepe paper caps and paper mache hats, and by original songs, puns and stunts performed by the members of the family. After dinner a reception was held and other members of the family, cousins, nieces and nephews, extended their congratulations to Mrs. Levyt Among those calling in the afternoon were: Mr. and Mrs. John Moseley, and Dr. and Mrs. Morris Rich, of Orangeburg; Mr. and Mrs. H. A* Rich, of Black ville; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Brown, Jr., and Mf. and Mrs. Julien Bush, of Barnwell. Saturday evening the guests were entertained by old-time songs and music led by Mrs. H. A. Rich. SPEAKER URGES MEMBERS TO OMIT PERSONALITIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) said, "can say that my vote in this house has been influenced by my legal connections.” ] It was at about this stage of the debate that; speaker Hamblin cau tioned the members against engaging in personalities. There was apparent ly no ill feeling aroused and the several shafts were received in good spirit. Vote of People. * Representative Harley said the treasurer and comptroller general had to go before the people to be elected and were responsible to the people for the discharge of their duties. “Are you in favor of letting the people elect judges?” Representative Keith, Greenville, asked. Mr. Harley intimated that he had no objections, saying he had dence in the people. “Haven’t you had a change < "heart since last year?” Repres tative Keith asked. “Last year didn’t you oppose lotting the people vote on a very important matter?^ being apparently to the $66,000,000 road bond act. Growth in Appropriations. Mr. Harley, taking up the de where it had been interrupted day, in speaking for consolidation,of the tax commission with offices said: “Is it necessary to economize? I think so. We represent the people and are supposed to vote for their best interests. If we vote for one thing each year that will cut expenses we have served “Look how the appropriation bill has grown. In 1912, it was $1,903,000; in 1914, $2,146,000; 1916, $2,486,000; 1917, $2,989,000;” then he gave figures for several years most of them show ing an increase in appropriations. “In 1924, the appropriation bill was $9,132,000; in 1929, $10,382,000; in 1930, the requests for appropriations totaled about $12,687,000 and the budget is recommending a bill of some $11,013,000. Have we not got to stop? “Other States are consolidating de- and thus cutting expenses* Virginia, New York, New Jersey—all have seen the necessity of reducing expenses. \“Go to your courthouse and see the laiyl that is being eold by the sheriff or, the master in equity or by the Federal Land bank or the Joint Stock Land banks. The banks are taking the property and our people who used to be landowner^ are losing their homes and farms. “Can we come here again and vote to increase the appropriation bill? Is it right? “By devolving the duties of the tax commission on the state treasurer and comptroller general you will be able to get rid of several salary items and save money to.the people of the Stote.” P. H. Stoll, Williamsburg, wanted to know if the state treasurer would be able to manage the tax commis sion’s business as effectively as the tax commission. Representative Har ley thought he would. * - After some further discussion, Rep resentative W. P. Conyers, Green ville, made a motion that further de bate be v adjourned until next Wed nesday. The motion prevailed and the house adjourned until Tuesday. The State, Jan. 18th. SANDWICH BREAD Baked Special to Make Delightful Sandwiches for Lunch Claussen’s Since 1841—South’s Favorites.
