For many years she lived ut her home in our community, and ever since the building and organization of this church, which owes its exittcnco principally to the zeal and efforts of her husband, she was a regular and fadhfu! attendant; ever ready to welcome si Imt honsc those wlitrjyms working for God's cause, and reaJy to work and contribute for Christianity. A few months ago she moved-from our < ommuniiy.

The petition prays the prolecti n of the Court. ? Upon h?aring the pc itiou. a rule to show cause was issued and served on the said M. V. Taylor, with t'to usual restraining order. No attention or obedience whatever w.is piid to lite restraining order. He has tile I his return justifying his action and Ins not released or ottered to ro e.tse any j art of the properly detained, although the copy of the petition served on him stated tho facts as set forth nb ivc. The bate statement that property of the value of neatly $10,0!>0 has been distrained to pay $1,215.04, and that much of it belougs to third parties in no senso responsible tor the tux, even if it be valid, would imperatively require the intet fercuce by iujuncti >n on the part of the Court having ibis ptopetty in its cus ody. Secti in 2i50 of iim General Statutes of South Carolina authorizes the Sheriffs to distrain for non-payment of ttxes mllicicnt personal property of the party charged with the tax, to pay the sime. This is the limit of Irs authority. Of courso he should not be confined to just enough property te pay the tax. Rut he cannot, undercover of this, distrain upon $10,000 for $1,215 04. Xor undt* any circumstances can he distrain the property of persons other than the tax payer.

Foi this reason receivers tu tiiis distriot pay all just and lawful luxes without asking ot needing the uuciai of the Court, and it their ucc unts such payments are posseti w.thoui que t;on.
