(The Anderson Independent.)
Under the provisions of a bill to
be introduced in the house at an
earlv cate by Representative W.
R. Harris of Anderson county,
County Superintendent, of educa
tion L. 1,1. Mahaffey would be re-
•quired to make a report to Coun
ty supervisor and publish an item
ized statement of the disburse
ments of special school taxes in
the several school districts of An
derson county.
The hill provides that the sup
erintendent of education be re^
qu^ed to publish in some newspa
per of the county an itemized
statement showing the special tax
disbursements for each school dis-.
tr^t, the sources from which the
levy came and the items for which
it was spent. If the bill is passed,
the superintendent will have to
submit the report to the supervisor
every three months and have an
itemized copy of the expenditures
published in the newspaper.
The bill further provides that
upon failure to submit the state
ment thirty days after the ending
of the quarter, a penalty of $10 per
day would become effective until
the report v/as submitted for con
sideration by the supervisor and
the public.

Fairfax And Its
Fine Cannery
If we are to believe reports the
impossible has happened in the
case of the Fairfax cannery, a new
enterprise launched there the past
year. The institution of the can
nery was the result of the iodine
exploitation in South Carolina and
out of it has grown an unusual
situation.
For the first time since we can
remember the enterprise has suc
ceeded in satisfying the truck
growers. The reports are that the
cannery not only made money it
self, bu. f paid truckers such a price
until they are perfectly satisfied
with the results and everybody is
happy.
Unquestionably* this is a splen
did situation—one in which every
body should take pride. A move
ment was under way in Augusta
a short time ago to develop a can
nery, with a view to using large
ly South Carolina’s iodine vege
tables and fruits, but somehow or
other it has been allowed to lapse.
If Aiken, Edgefield, Allendale,
Barnwell arid McCormick counties,
as well as any others.in the Pal
metto state, can get behind the
proposition .and push truck grow
ing and canning then Augusta
ought to be satisfied. To*our mind
the finest vegetables in the world
are grown in parts of Edgefield
and McCormick counties—also in
Columbia and Lincoln counties, in
Georgia—and it may be that the
products will be utilized and cap
italized in the near future.
Anyhow, certainly everybody is
glad to hear that* everybody is de
lighted with the results of the
Fairfax cannery. Of course, there
are many other such enterprises
in South Carolina, but we just
happen to know a few Augusta
business men are intejrested in the
Fairfax project and that success
has attended the venture. We hope
that other South Caroliria towns
will follow suit and that eventual
ly Augusta will get a big enterprise
of this kind, canning and distri
buting tens of thousands of cases
of canned fruits and vegetables
every year.—Augusta Chronicle.

De la Howe Request
(Greenville News)
The De la Howe school, support
ed by the State of South Caro-
missioners of election, have given
official notice in this issue of Trie
Herald that the election will be
held on Friday, February 14th.
Managers of election have been
appointed and the ballot boxes
are being prepared. The election
will be held according to the rules
governing general elections.
The successful candidate will
fill out the unexpired term of Mr.
Fore. The regular primary and
general election will be held this
year, but the constitution pro
vides that when a vacancy occurs
in the general assembly by death
or otherwise, even though the
official has served rnore than half
of his term, an appointment can
not be made, but his successor
must be elected in a general elec
tion.—Dillon Herald.

Orangeburg Cadis
Election For Senator
(The Orangeburg Times and
Democrat.)
An election to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator W.
Clyde Martin, who was killed in
an automobile accident last Fri
day afternoon, will be held in
Orangeburg next month.
Considerable speculation as to
the entrants in this race is beirtg
jfreely indulged in with a number
of names mentioned as possible
candidates. Among those who
have been included in the discus
sion are Robert Lide, Joseph A.
Berry, Henry R. Sims, Thomas C.
Brantley, Edgar L. Culler, W. A.
Livingston, S. J. McCoy and J. T.
Liles.
J. A. Berry stated Monday af
ternoon that he had been called on
by a number of friends, who have
asked him to enter the race, and
that he has the matter under ser
ious consideration.
Henry R. Sims also stated Mon
day afternoon that he was serious
ly considering offering himself as
a candidate, and would probably
make a • definite # announcement
as to himself shortly.
Robert Lide, it is said, has stat
ed that while he is not anxious
to enter the race, he might be
willing to serve the county in the
emergency. (
No definite statement has been
heard as to the other nasne^ as
“prospects.”

in a hospital. My digestion was so
bad that absolutely nothing agreed
with me. I had to take a hand
ful of salts every night for con
stipation. I had awful pains in
my head and back. ’ I had my
t^eeth extracted, my eyes examin
ed, and took one treatment after
another but never did get better
until I got hold of Sargon. Five
bottles made me feel like a new
man from head to foot. I’ve gain
