MLLtU I ttCj B1L.L. I Some overzealous gentlemen, members of the South Carolina General Assembly got busy last week and at/ tempted to rush through a bill, which would provide for the levying of a tax upon all Building and Loan associations in the State. Our idea of these associations is that they are cooperative, mutual organizations whose main object is the promotion of home building and assisting poor men in building and ^ owning their homes. There is no ? mistaking the great benefits derived by a community through building and loan associations throughout the country. South Carolina is no exception, for thousands of her citizens have become property owners through the mutual eoonerative nlans of such associations, at least such is the case in Kingstree where we have had in operation a building and loan ussociatioh for the past twelve or fifteen years. In view of the object or principles of these associations we see no ground for imposing a tax, and we believe such a law would be unjust inasmuch as it would not only tax the association collectively but would also tax the property of the individual members acquiring homes through the association thereby collecting a twofold tax. When the bill was brought up for consideration last week in Columbia wires were kept busy informing the officers of the various associations in this section. Messages were received in Kingstree and at Georgetown where there are four such cooperative organizations. Prominent citizens were asked to advise their representatives in the General Assembly to oppose such a measure. Whether this has been done or not we are not pre\ I pared to say, but it is generally hoped that the representatives from Wil- j liamsburg and Georgetown counties will use their vote against any meas-1 ure that would impose a double tax on building and loan associations, on building and loan associations. In fact the State government should follow the example of the Federal goveram'ent in encouraging, as far as possible, in their operations. Dillon will start a new steam laundrv plant this week. It seems i i that all of the enthusiasm over a steam laundry in Kingstree has disappeared. Most certainly it wasn't I lost in the wash. We note that the Harts\ iile Mes- j senger has increased its advertising ' rates to 40 and 50 cents the inch, j Nothing more than other weekly | papers will have to do if prices con-1 tinue to bound upward. William Gibbs McAdoo will be a ^ candidate for the presidency, is the p sitive assertion made in Washington by a friend of the former Secretary of the Treasury. JUST CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT There was considerable grumbling, and justly so, heard by the editor of this newspaper at Lane one day last week because of a very unusual and uncalled for custom of holding up for hours at Lane the passenger train on the Seaboard Air Line railroad between that place and Georgetown in order that a few men from the North, purely on pleasure bent, might not suffer the inconvenience of waiting over upcm their arrival there on the A. C. L. road, for the next train to Georgetown. On Friday the little train on the Seaboard road which is supposed to leave Lane about noon, was held for four hours to await the arrival of Mr. Baruch, Mr. McAdoo and several other gentlemen of means and leisure who were run- J ning down from Washington to hunt birds and shoot ducks. They were traveling in a special car attached to A. C. L. train No. 83 which was several hours behind its scheduled time. The weather was cold and disagree- ] oble, the little Seaboard train was j uncomfortable, and to add to the discomfort of its passengers it had to lay there in waiting for Mr. Baruch and Mr. McAdoo, et als, were coming down to take a hunt, traveling in a special car, doubtless a pal| ace on a small scale, where every luxury was provided and could have remained there on the tracks until the departure of the regular evening train on the Seaboard road without its occupants knowing an uncomfortable moment; the birds and the ducks and the citizens of Georgetown, too, could have awaited there delayed arrival without serious inconvenience. But no, the order was to hold the little train and let the women and children, business men and commercial travelers wait. On Saturday it was the same, only the little train was held but an hour and a half; and for what?two dough- i faced sports with half dozen finely incased guns, and other luggage enough to make a Korean donkey look nale and Hroonv under the Dack. In these good old United States, the rule has long been, and should be still, that what is good for the goose should be good for the gander, and if a train can be held up by the railroad administration, at Lane for a few high "mucksademucks" who want to get into Georgetown county to hunt birds and kill ducks, it should also be held for the commercial travelers or business man on belated A. C. L. trains, enroute to Georgetown. On Saturday, the conductor in charge of the little Seaboard train i was no less disgusted than his passengers, when after waiting with his train an hour and a half, "only two bird hunters" proved to be the cause of his hold up. Representatives of negro organizations before the judiciary committee at Washington last week advocated the passage of the Mason bill establishing a negro colony in Texas i and Mexico with its own gevernment under the protectorate of the United States.

"WOULD PAY $100 FOR IT," SAYSBAILY ATLANTA MAN SAYS THAT HE I FKELSLIKJE A NEW MAN i SINCE TAKING FERROLAX "I wouldn't take a hundred dollars ' for this bott'e of Ferrolax if I knew l that I would not be able to buy more ! of it" said Mr. J. H. Bailey, who | lives at 328 West Peachtree Street, ! Atlanta, Ga., the other day. | "I honestly believe that Ferrolax is the best medicine on earth," con' tinued Mr. Bailey, "and it would do my heart good to meet face to face with everybody who suffers as I did and tell them what a blessing this wonderful medicine has been to me. I was so run down and had such poor blood that 1 could hardly get about. Then too I have been bothered with stomach trouble, and would have severe pains in the small of my back right over my kidneys. When I stooped over 1 could hardly straighten up again. No medicine or | treatment seemed to g iveme any re; lieve at all and I was gradually getting weaker all the time. "Then I heard about Ferrolax and t the good it was doing so many people and decided to give it a trial. Before I had finished my first bottle I began to pick up right along and now since taking about three bottles of this medicine I am as well and strong as I ever was in my life. I don't know what it is to suffer with indigestion and stomach trouble, and I am' never bothered with that pain in my back. I'll tell the world that Ferrolax is a great medicine, and will do all that is claimed for it. Ferrolax is sold by Farmers Drug Company, Hemingway; W. V.
