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.

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. Brockington,
Kingstree; Cockfield Drug
Company, Johnsonville. Gea a bottle
at this store today. Take it according
to directions and if it does not do you
the good you want done come in and

is good enough for us. Watch for
