This has been a great help in a business way itecause tbelr dividend money will be re-invested. The mills and banks have not enjoyed a good year because business suffered greatly nnd the business men consider themselveB fortunate that they made nominal dividends in the face of conditions as they existed. Banks found collections poor while cotton mills found the margin of profit small and at times operated at a loss. Especially were the first six months of the year dull.

TARIFF PERPLEXITIES Basis of Assessing Values Have but j Yet Been Decided Upon; Washington Jan. 13.-*?Final discussion of the basis of assessing the import duties which are to be written into the new tariff bill was started tol day by Republic members of the senate finance committee. They hope tb reach a decision on this, the most important and difficult phase of the whole tariff problem, before* the end or next week, and then the actual work of constructing the rates will be undertaken. The hope now is that the bill can be reported to the senate around March 1. Besides discussing the American valuation plan and various substitutes with members of the tariff commission and the court of customs appeals the committeemen received from the senate Hepublieen-farm-tariff- bloc recommendations as to rates on farm products. These Included a suggested duty of five cents a pound on short Staple cotton, which always has been On'the free list, and a rate of 3S cents a pound on wool on the basis of the scoured content as against the 25 cents proposed in the Fordney bill. Rates at increases over those in the Fordney bill on wheat, oats and many other products also were urged. In entering upon their discussion of the basis of assessing duties, the committee members had in conference with them Thomas O. Marvin and William Burgess of the tariff commis sion, and Judge Marion De Vries, a member of the court of customs appeals. They endorsed the plan outlined in an. amendment proposed yesterday by Senator Smoot of Utah, of assessing duties on the basis of the selling price of the imported article in the American market rather than on the value of the comparable article produced in the United States, the Pordney bill proposal.

V * '* ' Inside Story of the Election of Associate Justice (ardln Marion. THE VOTE COED MOT BE DELIVERED r awvtn Art Making Fiaht Against th? Re-election of Judge Bowman of Or* angeburg? B tease Appears in House and $enate for First Tim# in Eight Yoarsi Corre?p#n4*nce,The Torlrvjlle Enquirer Columbia, January 14.?Here's how Senator"^''Hardin Marion of Cheater county, came to be 'elected associate Justice of "the South Carolinu supreme court on the eighth ballot Thursday afternoon.. It's a true StOry, since the correspondent of Ther Yorkvilie Enquirer got' It from reliable sources?a man "on the Inside." The race for associate justice, It will be remembered, started At the 1920 session of the 'general assembly. The three leading candidates till the while have been'Senator Marlon of Chester Jesse Carter'of B&mberg, and CJen. M; L. Bonham of Anderson.' All the while! the three have been rvlhning "neck arid I neck," although for a time it appeared! that Mr; Carter v.kks the strongest ?an?j didate of the trio. BUt at' this session Carter stock and Bonham stock became a little shaky, Marion being preferred. Proctor Bonham, tfho is staid senator from Creeriviile county, and a son of Gen. M. L. Bonham, the candidate; has been managing his father's campaign, Bonham knows a little of politics, but hits a lot to learn. Anyway,' according to the correspondent's informant) he went to the leaders of the Carter campaign after the sixth ballot Thursday, with a proposition that if the Carter forces showed up on the seventh ballot stronger than the Bonham forces then Boniham would get out. If Bonham showed up stronger than Carter, Carter was t<f get out and swing his strength to Bonham. The deal was made with the leaders of the Carter crowd, understand. "Proc" Bonham didn't take into consideration the-rank and file of the Carter column, thinking that one or two could swing 'em. Well, the aforesaid rank and file did not like that kind of trading. They were willing to vote for Carter all right; hut they didn't propose to let the Carter .leaders tweak their noses any old way. The seventh ballot came and Ronham ran ahead of Carter, whereupon the name of Carter was withdrawn from the race. The Bonham people were ell smiles, thinking that one associate justiceship was all swt for Genera! Bonham of Anderson. In fac,t, it is said that one or two of the Bonham enthusiasts confidently remarked to their fellow memters-. that tho result of. the eighth ballot was a foregone conclusion and that plans and preparations for the installation of General Bonham ae a member of the supreme tribunal of' the state might proceed. But the Carter people on the eighth ballot?the majority of them?quietly voted for Marion Instead of Bonham and Marton was elected, the ballot be ing the rorty-sevetun raKen slice mr election began In 1920. Which little story goes to Illustrate the well known fact in politics that'you never can tell until the votes are counted. Bleat* On the floor. Cole L. BTease. ex-governor of South Carolina, was tt visitor in both 'the house and senate the past week. It was his first appearance In either ha'l in eight years, Ire said. The governor appeared smiling und happy, greeting his friends and admirers ih both bodies. He told numbers of his friends und acquaintances that he expected to be in the race for goverrior this Bumtner. Thus far there has been very little talk about the gubernatorial race' of 1922 and ex-Governdr Blease is the only announced candidate.

It is said that a strong effort will be made to oust Judge Bftwtrian, especially by the lawyer clement In the assembly. The lawyers don't like Bowman. They say that he doesn't know any law. Mis friends say that the lawyers don't like the Orangeburg jurist because he is "hard boiled" and they can't wheedle him around as they would like to do.
