Financial Data ASK GOVERNOR TO GET LIST OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES (The State.) After unanimously voting a reso lution calling upon Governor Blackwood to issue a proclamation in an effort to secure financial statements of assets and liabilities of all stale and county depart ments, the Farmers and Taxpayers’ league of South Carolina yesterday selected a finance and organizing committee to stimulate interest in the N organization. A. B. Langley of Columbia was selected chairman of the commit tee whose other members are: J. C. Self of Greenwood, Dr. C. D. Napier of Blenheim, Mclver Will- ramson of Darlington, J. R. Fairey of Fort Motte, Dr. Wade Stack- house of Dillon and C. P. Epps of Sumter, W. L. DePass, Jr., of Cam den, was elected general counsel of the league.

Club proved to be quite a pleasant little affair. The. rostrum where most of the flow ers were displayed was beautiful in the simplicity of the decora tions of white and green crepe 3a- per and with sprays of roses over the windows, etc. Quite a number of beautiful pot ted plants, among them lots of beautiful blooming geraniums, ox- allis, begonias and ferns and oth ers made the place a bower of beauty. On tables covered with cloths were vases, bowls, baskets and jars filled with an ar ray of exquisitely beautiful cut flowers among them, the fragile snowy lily, the exquisite white Am erican beauty roses, lovely silver morn roses, quite a number of beautiful iris in many colors, georgeous Paul neyrm roses, the simple little oxeyed daisy, moun tain laurel and many other vari- ties made the whole room quite beautiful. Mrs. Dora Dee Walker and Mrs. Stallworth were the judges and awarded quite a num ber of blue ribbons to about nine or ten parties and red ribbons to a dozen. After the awarding of the ribbons, punch was served by Misses Lura Jean and Virginia Watson, Gladys Scott, Sara Curtis and others. The President. Mrs. D. J. McAllister then introduced Mrs. Walker as our speaker for fhe afternoon. Mrs. Walker graciously responded and made an interesting talk on her work and the subject nearest her heart, “Beautifying South Carolina.” Others who were called into the program by the president were Mrs. Acker of Mc Cormick who charmed the crowd with her splendid voice.
