Surely that sort of thing Is not to be found in the South.

x-, Our farmers know too much about the Import-' ance of the right kind of food to be indifferent to the proper diet for their families. The specialist from Utah in this Western States Conference was rather pronounced in her opinions of many farmers of that State In the matter of proper diet for their families. According to her address: '1 do not want my. children fed scientifically," was the answer one successful livestock man made to the adequate family nutrition efforts of the agricultural college, the paper reported. He refuses to let his wife feed the family as she knows it should be fed.

because his own food, likes are few and his dislikes many, Another group of Utah farm women decided some time ago that they "had had enough nutri- tion and nutrition teaching." A medical survey of their county thereafter showed that 85 per cent of the children were suffering from malnutrition. The paper mentioned cases of livestock men who refused to keep ft cow and farmers who could not be bothered with home gardens.

In a comment upon our recent discussion of the effects of the complete removal of the state property tax, the Greenwood Index-Journal asserts that there is still one "state property tax" left the three-mill constitutional school levy. We rather think, however, that our contemporary is in error, in ft practical sense at least in call- ing this a "state property tax." True, it is levied by mandate of the state constitution, but it is not a levy for the support of the state government On the other hand, the constitution specifically requires that the proceeds of this tax shall be held in the treasury of the county where levied and apportioned among the school districts of the county. It is thus, In effect, a local county tax In each county. The News' comment was to the effect that with property taxes levied for state government revenue repealed, the function of equalising assessments was expected to be returned to local authorities exclusively, instead of being performed partially by the stave tax commission. That has not yet been done and apparently a revision of the statutes governing the work of the tax commission will be necessary to bring It about That is ft subject for the next legislature to consider.

Meantime, however, the electorate of the state is to vote in November on a constitutional amendment to abolish this three-mill school tax. If that is done, the point made by the Index-Journal would be fully met, and there could be no further excuse for the claim that state property tax exists unless the legislature should restore ft state levy for general revenue. debt It was reported. 1 blocks apart Louisiana Is a non-premium license in most of the agreements The case for rape is against a 17 among gamesters.

It is 'about to close up and quit In a few years it JvilJvt'out of existence.

-W' I For several years the General Education Board JiasHipen using up its principal. At first It used 4 erirjrtne income from its vast capital of nearly two hundred million dollars, but since 1920 it has been slicing off some each year from its principal and before very long it will have used up all the funds jn its charge. Including donations from Income and principal it has spent over two hundred and fifty million dollars toward the progress of education since It wait created. The General Education Board was started In J90X The principal donor to it was John D. Rockefeller but there were gifts from his wife and small from others.

On the last day last December the General Education Board had In hand assets amounting to twenty-eight million dollars. It had earmarked twelve million dollars of this amount for aid to jucUon in the South. About nine million dollars be left after other commitments and unexpect-eantingencies are taken care of, the annual re-f'Sys. For' million dollars of the fund has been used education.

C. RALEIGH, N. Sept Ultimate settlement of a bitter controversy over the Democratic runoff primary for a congressman from the eighth district apparently hinged today upon "filial returns" from Richmond and Davidson counties. The state" supreme' court ruled that litigation on the issue be remanded to the superior court to a-wait the returns from those counties. In which both candidates, W.

O. Burg in of Lexington and 6. B. Deane of Rockingham contended there were irregularities. The court handed down the de CONFIRMATION From Columbia Record.

Wyndham M. Manning, of Sumter, was an able legislator, who did not compromise when he was persuaded of the Justice of his course. He was ft legislator, for example, who couldn't fool himself that extra pay wasnt extra pay Just because you called it "expense money." And had he been nominated governor in the runoff primary he failed by 14.579 votes to achieve it although he won the support of 149,318 voters, doub- ling his first primary vote he would have made the state an able, conscientious, courageous, hon- est chief executive. These very virtues led him, because he was vinced of his duty to bring these things to the final authority In the party for adjudication, to carry his protest of the election to the state Democratic executive committee. The resort to the militia was ah error for which he, eyeit though he asked it cannot be held primarily responsible; no candidate for governor can call out the militia.

And his acceptance of the party's verdict his prompt courtesy In last night almost as soon as the verdict could be known. In telegraphing his congratulations and best wishes to his successful opponent confirms South Carolinians, however they voted, in their high opinion, of him. As before and always he holds the interests of South Carolina at iheart and 8outh Carolina can depend upon him. FOR AN SRA. From Columbia Record.

The great trouble with the South, as the government's economic studies reveal, is the fact that Southerners haven't enough money. The remedy would seem therefore to be a fairly simple one if the governmental precedents mean anything. Let the federal government pass a Southern recovery act creating the" SRA. which would be empowered to pay every wage and salary earner in the South weekly subsidy equal the amount he earned for himself, minus of course the social security taxes.
