The 35.? 000 gallon water tank, erected on the roof of this two-storv structure. _ had fallen through, flooding the ene, tire building and damaging much tobacco. The entire community re"" sponded to the call for help and soon things were ship-shape.

One man l can't do much by himself and a new v* j man stands a poor show in shaping j legislation. Was a member of Ways -f and Means committee, the most iniie ; portant committee of the House, fi- Speaker Smith said he wanted Kelc lahan on that committee.

Favors bi+ ennial sessions of Legislature. Mr ^ Camlin then read a clipping setting forth the expense of State govern? ment,which he thought could be cul down. Mr B B Chandler, a candidate for k* re-election to the General Assembly, made a spirited defense of his record in the House, which he offered to substantiate hv the House Jourynal. Was "on the job" from start to finish, remaining over three days at his own expense to protect cer X tain local legislation from being held I up by Governor Blease.

VToted with the e_ Governor every time that he thought him right, but voted against him him when he deemed the lattei r" wrong. The Governor held up our co county supply bill, which, had i be not remained over three days ve and forced action.would have caused the county a great deal of oonfusion ,e and expense besides. Kingstree 'f voted over S 10,000 bonds for waterworks and sewerage and wanted a~ them validated, but the Governor, jn for no apparent reason, chose to s' ' hold up this bill, a purely local meare; sure, thereby creating delay and r" misunderstanding. Governor called r" them cowards for not impeaching - him. He did not go there for that purpose. The people elected him r) (Blease) and it is up to the people to say how long he should hold ofHnvprnnr nlsn hpld nn rhanirpin seed cotton traffic law for which the people had declared in mass meeter ing. Some say they had changed the ft seed cotton traffic law to benefit the ?" rich man; this is a lie. The law as 171 amended provides for seed cotton traffic at certain seasons without lild cense,at other seasons the traffic is of prohibited. The revised road law ill w-as also "pigeon-holed" by the jr Governor and would have failed of st passage but for the vigilance of the delegation. Mr Chandler says that he is willing to make the commutale tion tax $1 instead of $2 if the peor> pie want it. It is for them to say. ie There is now a 2 mill tax on roads and bridges.
