GENERAL ASSEMB

General Appropriation Bill
With a Tax Levy of I

Columbia, March 7.-The session of
the seventy-third general assembly.
ot-auth Caoxana was concluded At
7:41 o'clock yesterday morning and
the"majority of the members caught
the early morning trains for their' re
spective homes.
The general appropriation bill was
endorsed and reported to the two hous
es by the free conference committee
soon after seven o'clock this morning.
The bill carries a total of $6,091,241.39,
for which a levy of 12 1-2 mills will be
required. The bill 'was sent to the
governor and, signed by him by 7:30
o'clock and the house adjourned sine t
die a few minutes later.
.While many of the legislators were
somewhat disappointed in the volume
of constructive legislation enacted,
and 'although many desirable meas
ures went into discard, much was done
toward laying a solid basis for future
growth and development. This can
not be better emphasized than in the
universal desire throughout the state
for good roads and the generous man
ner in which county delegations voted
bond issues for their counties. A
statewide levy of two mills was also
put on for permanent road building,
the amount each county raises to be
spent in that particular county. Bond
issues for roads and bridges in the
diffeient counties approximate $13,
000,000.
A)Pproprilations for public schools
are the most liberal over made. The
amohint appriuariated for 1919 \waRs
$70-1,837,83. The amount carried this
year Is $931,090.
Public health activities are to be
eniouraged rather than neglected.
The amount lasi year for this depart
nient was $102,241.83. This year the
appropriation Is $220,394.24.
Permanent improvements at state
ins'tituUons are to go forsward in keep
Ing with the spirit of progress. In S
pruning down tho appropriation bill i
the free conference committee distrib- I

Vision applies to the University of
South Carolina, the trustees being au
thorited to borrow $75,000 for the
erection of eight homes for profes
sors. An appropriation of $200,000 is
arried by the bill for the new plant
for the Citadel, the $600,000 appro
I)riated for this purpose being dis
tributed through three annual install
mOtts, The old plant is to be sold to
repay the amount appropriated.
bthor constructive work was the
passage of a statewide dog law, which
Increases the tax from 50 cents to 75
,Onto and requires the dog to wear 4
3olir iwith the license tag attached.
T'his should mean much toward en
adti'aging the sheep raising industry,
particularly in the coastal counties
where farmers attempting this ven
Atre have been greatly handicapped
')eCause of the .great number of sheep
Olling dogs running at large. This
i1easure was pressed through by Dr.
Barnwell, representative from Char
*ston, who was unflagging to get
Mch a statute on the books.
Another measure of more than
.asual interest is that which will pro
libit the sale after January 1st, 1921,
)f new vehicles with other than the
Itandard tread of 56 inches. Dealers
will be allowed after that date to dis
)ose of their unsold stock. The law
till not interfere with owners of
*agons with the 60-inch tread bought
prior to the date above fixed. Wagon
nanufacturers have agreed on the 56
nch tread and, in a few years there
hould be a uniform standard estab
ished throughout the state. Automo
>iles have the 56-inch tread. Double
vhceled trucks are exempted.
The resolution by Senator Christen
en for a commission from the two
houses to study the state tax problem
and to report back next session with
ecommended legislation was passed
Ster considerable debate in the house

Lte appointed on this: Senator Chris

of Chesterfield, and Senator Marion,

June Roscoe, Ten Years Old, [*hows
temarkable Talent-4Studying at
Anderson College.
Anderson, March 7.--Anderson Is
proud of having a child prodigy In
music in ten year old June Roscoe.
She plays the most difficult music
from the old masters with great case
and expression, the only difficulty be
ing that her hand is so small that she
can scareely make the octaves and
chords. June has been under the tu
torage of Miss Denmark of Anderson
college for almost two years. Recently
Mr.- and Mrs. -Roscoe went to Green
ville to make their home. June was
broken-hearted at giving up her teach
er and the musical career which had
been planned for her, and the collego
was equally anxious to' keel) such a
l)rodigy .so Andersoit college adopted
June, and they wil~lkeeo)her there un
til she completes 'her. musical educa
tion. She is under the direct chap
eronage of Miss 'Denmark, and Is a
great favorite with the students. She
says that she Isn't a bit ho'meslek, and
is delighted that she can stay with
Anderson college until she gets
through. She is also taking an Eng
lish course.
