[;} Sapp both made statistical statePmcnts
on the floor of the two houses *
showing how the money would be v
raised this year under the appropria- ''
tion bill. Their statement follows: *
"The appropriation bill as agreed 4
jo by the free conference committee, ^
carries a total appropriation of $5,- s
889,106.04 or in round numbers a reduction
of $1,000,000 below the ap- 6
propriation of 1921. This reduction 7
represents a cut of approximately 15
i-2 per cent below the amount ap- F
propria ted last year. The levy has F
also been reduced from 12 to seven ^
mills?a net rduction in the levy of v
Ave mills. The free conference could ^
and would have reduced this appro- ^
uriation still further, except for the *
fact that it was compelled to make
an appropriation of $30,000 for the e
payment of a judgment against the &
state of South Carolina in re the v
Sandel case (contingent upon the result
of an appeal now before the supreme
court) and for the additional 1*
appropriations required for the tax commission
to earn' out the provisions

session of the general assembly." Tp

FEBRUARY REPORT
OF RED CROSS WORK
COMMUNITY CHEST FOUND BY
SECRETARY TO BE GREAT
HELP IN WORK.
During the past month the Red
>oss has handled seventeen ex-soliier
cases and thirty-seven civilian
:ases. The Community Chest has
)een found a great help in the handing
of the civilian cases as most
the families that have appealed
"or help have been in need of clothes.
Most of the people have enough to
?at but there are numbers that have
nsufficient clothing. In some instances
however, even fcod is very
varce. There is one woman, the
".other of seven children, who is suf"ering
from pellagra. When asked
:bildren had clothes enough, she en;
we red corn bread and potatoes.
>he was net complaining but simply
tating a fact. If the leading auhorities
a?e correct jis to the cause
>f this disease the'-e is no wonder
hat she has it.
A few days ago the secretary visted
a family in a remote section of
he county. This family consist of
t widow and five small children. The
amily had been visited some time
>efore and at that time they had
sufficient focd and clothes for the
ime being. On that visit the secreary
had suggested that the mother
nit her children in the orphanage,
>ut the mother begged very pitifully
o be allowed to keep them and said
hat as long as she had her health
;he could manage somehow. On the
ccasion of the secretary's last visit
he mother did rot have much to
;ay. When asked directly if the
children had clothes enough she enjuired
if any one had written to the
*ed Cross about her. Cn being informed
that no one had done this,
the seemed much relieved and said
hat she had just about decided that
ihe would have to stop the children
"rom school cn account of the conlition
of their clothes. Fortunately
he community chest contained sever.?
things that would fit the children
io a box was packed and sent to
;hem.
There have been and still are other
alls and the supplies in the chest
ire getting very low. Any one havncr
anv clothes thev can soars are
isked to get in touch with the prescient
of the missionary society of
me of the churches or the Red Cross
secretary. If the ones who have already
contributed to this cause could
see how the things are appreciated
;hey would feel fully repaid.
The Red Cross clinic which was
leld February 9th in connection with
he meeting of the County Medical
society was found to be very helpful,
["here were eight children examined.
Today there will probably be a good
nany more than that. The doctors
>f Williamsburg county deserve the
hanks of all the people for their
vork along this line.
Two more schools joined the Junior
Red Cross this month. These are
^ever Fail school and Hebron graded
school. Some of the Juniors arc em)hasizing
health and recreation in
heir programs and one school, Cenral,
is making garments to be used
r. the community chest.
There was a play party given at
lock Branch school house on the
!4th of February. An account of this
ins already appeared in The County
tecord. There will be one at Oak!ale
school on March 10th.
Another sheet has been added to
he Loan closet zo we now feci that
re are in position to really begin
ending some of these supplies for
he sick. Any one wishing to borrow
hem is asked to get in touch with
Irs. W. G. Gamble or the Red Cross
ecretary.
The secretary would also like to
tate that any donation of old magaines
or children's books will be glady
received. So often there aie peo>le
in the county who would enjoy
tapers and magazines which most
louse wives have a time deciding
rhat to do with. The secretary will
it glad to call for such things at any
lome where there are such things
o be given away.
The next regular meeting of the
xecutive committee of the Williamsiurg
county chapter of the Red Cross
rill be held Monday, April 3rd.
(Signed) Daisy B. Vam,
Red Cross Secretary.

STATE NEWS ITEMS.
Many Things of Interest Gleaned from
from Many Points.
At the meeting of the Arthur
Wilder Post of the American Legion
at Timmonsville last week, it was
unanimously decided to launch a campaign
for the erection of a new high
school building for Timmonsvilb. The
present building, while a credit to the
town, is inadequate for the large
number of pupils enrolled.
After deliberating two hours and
a half the jury Friday night at Pickens
returned a verdict of guilty of
murder with recommendation to mercy
in the case of Ross Powell, who
killed his wife, Emily Powell, at
Glenwood cotton mill in Easley on
October 4 last. A sentence of life
imprisonment was immediately imposed.
A verdict of guilty of manslaughter
with recommendation to mercy was
rendered by the jury in the case
against Robert B. Ingman, in the
court of general sessions at Charlesten
last week. The defendant was
driving an automobile last October
that struck 0. T. Hite, a Citadel
cadet, injuries resulting which caused
his death a few hours later. As the
cadet fell, his head struck a curbing.
Coyt Jordan was acquitted r.t Cam?
- ~ i n - i.;n;
den Friday ot. muracr in me inning
of his father. Jordan, who is a very
young man, claimed that he shot in
defense of is mother, sister and brother,
the witnesses for him claiming
that the father had come home drunk
during the latter part of last year
and slapped Coyt's young sister,
struck his mother several times with
hir fist, and was attempting to stab
his brother with a knife, when Coyt
shot.
Governor Cooper Monday afternoon
signed the state income tax bill. It
is now law, and the state tax commission
is ready to collect it. Each
person who pays income tax to the
United States government is expected
to make an affidavit to the state
tax commission of the amount |>f
taxable income, and he will pay to
the state exactly one-third of the tax
paid to the federal government. In
every particular, except the percentage
of tax and the piovirion as to
affidavit this vear. the state in
come tax law is identical with the
federal law. The time of payment is
extended to May 1st.
George W. Wightman, member
of the state senate from Sanlda
has definitely decided zo enter the
I race for commissioner of agriculture
in the Democratic primaries
this summer. Senator Wightman
said he had been approached by
friends all over the state to
enter the race and after careful
consideration had decided to cast his
hat into the ring. Senator Wightman
has been in South Carolina races
before and his entry into the contest
for commissioner of agriculture will
perhaps liven things up considerably.
The Saluda senator is an untiring
fighter and has been dubbed "Battle
Axe" because of his fights in the senate.
The Southern Division of the American
Red Cross announced Saturday
that the first prize of $50 from the
"William Howard Taft Fund" for
meritorious action in life saving was
awarded to J. E. Woods, of Florence,
S C., conductor Atlantic Coast Line
railroad, for heroic action in saving
the life of a colored baby at Nine
Mile Siding, near Darlington. TTiis
fund is linji^ed by the terms of the
anonymous donation to persons employed
on railroads. The incident for
which Woods received his award occurred
December 31, 1920. Woods
was coming from the telegraph of?

the direction the engineer was moving,
he saw the child sitting between
the rails playing. He immediately
signaled bat the engineer, who was
watching the rear brakeman for signals,
did not see liim. Woods realizing
that his signals could not be seen
in time, rushed down the track, seized
the child from between the rails,
and jumped to one side just in time
