COLUMBIA, Nov. 23.—Introduc
tion of the annual appropriation
bill on the first day of the session
was foreseen Thursday by Rep-1 Chesterfield __24,121
resentative Neville Bennett, ways 1 Clarendon —13,204
and means committee chairman, J Colleton 6,683
as a move to eliminate finances i Darlington 18,435
from the list of factors that may
prolong the general assembly of
1936.
The Marlboro county represen
tative said he planned to call the
ways and means committee to
meet early in January to prepare
an “economic” appropriation bill
for presentation when the legis
lature meets January 14.
He said the 1935-36 appropri
ation act authorized the prelimi
nary meeting “to save money by
preparing the appropriation meas
ure in advance and thus shorten
the session.”
The State Budget commission,
confronted by requests for ap
proximately $2,000,000 in increas-
?s over the current money meas
ure of $7,500,000, was expected
to meet later this month to draft
a report for the legislature.

ANDERSON, Nov. 23.—Congress-^
man John C. Taylor, of the third
district, last night returned to his
office here Tollpwing a tour of the
district for the purpose of confer
ring with constituents and allow
ing them to bring any matters of
interest to his attention. Mr. Tay
lor was accompanied on the tour
by his secretary, Z. W. Meeks.
The trip included visits to each
of the county seats in the district
as well as many of the larger towns.
A temporary office was set up in
each place, and Mr, Taylor had
conferences with several thousand
persons throughout the area. Scores
of suggestions and requests were
received, and will be ; cleared
through the office here within the
next few weeks.
The congressman also visited sev
eral of the CCC camps located in
Pickens and Oconee counties.
The trip was planned by Mr.
Taylor for the convenience of con
stituents who live in the more dis
tant parts of the'district, but who
might have requests or matters of
interest to discuss with him. A
large crowd was present in virtually
every town in which a temporary
office was established.
Generally speaking the congress
man found better conditions exist
ing over the area. Many farmers,
however, conferred with him as to
the desirability of altering the
Bankhead law, and in some areas it
was found that the employment
situation is still a major problem.
Temporary offices, were set up in
the following towns in the district:
Newberry, Saluda, Johnston, Edge-
field, McCormick, Abbeville, Green
wood, Walhalla, Central, Pickens,
Easley, Liberty, Westminster, Sen
eca, and others.
