'"arrif fortunes do dwindle when u ' the tax gatherer approaches. We OJ! find that only three men in Mar* ) ion county have paid an income tax. ! co Raleigh has a baseball express, tha- according to The Evening Times P?: of that city, that "lit out" from the postoffice on its initial trip at 3.58 and reached the ball park at 3.56. That was moving some, sure. A New York woman 105 years I <3t old lias just died who lived by the I L theory that constant association | saw Ywith ^'Idren w011^ keep a person *young. The circumstance explains in a measure why young jT*; ladies take so readily to the teaeh*>rlga. occuring protession. tho an ' epri^ ^ar*on Star seems to think clu the admission of Latta was a seri* ous blunder and that now the New County is further from success than ever. The Star cheerfully admits that a few of the *. business men who signed the petition requesting admissior will vote for the New County but that a majority of the voters will vote against the proposition. The New County people do not expect those who refused to sign the petition to vote for the New County, but they expect and do believe that those who signed the petition will vote and use their influence for the New County. And as the latter class are largely in the majority the New County advocates do not feel any uneasiness over the situation. There is such a thing as over-reaching one's self and instead of the admission of. Latta to the New County territory ' being: a serious blunder there be facts to bear out the assertion that the Woodbury proposition which Marion had up its sleeve was a fatal blunder. If the whiskey houses stick to j their refusal to deliver their books the dispensary winding-up com- j mission will be up against a tough proposition, so far as the prose-; cution of the alleged grafters is concerned. The most important i evidence against those charged with having received rebates is | the books of the several whiskey i houses that had dealings with the I dispensary and it these houses stick by their friends there is very little likehood of the state making out a case strong enough to secure the conviction of the former officials now under indictment. Of COUrSe. if the urhiclre*/ 1 houses refuse to deliver their books the state can refuse to pay their claims, but all dollars look alike to the man who deals in liquor and perchance they are not worrying over that feature of the proceedings. The people of v 'c$e state are more concerned in the of the grafters than they*if* in the saving of few thousand dollars and it would be a sore disappointm?nv if justice was outwitted in this P-rtjcular instance by a legal technicality The Anderson mayor who suggested the idea of publishing the | tax returns may never be or, but nevertheless be bss gives gppnp*?1"7 " f * .- ?H * the people of South Carolina some- Jul; thins: wholesome to think about. ^ If there is anything in the world JjjJthe tax dodder fears it is publicity q and if such a law were on the stat- agx ute books we venture the predic- fre< tion that the number of assessors F would have to be doubled to keep t*ie up with the work of reducing the ^ returns to an equitable basis. ^ Right here at home we have an Ric illustration of the injustice of the app present tax laws: One institution in the town of Dillon representing about one-twentieth of the town's property value pays onefifth of the entire municipal tax. ^ As the law requires municipalities to take their returns from county and auuuor s dooks ana prom Dies an nm assessment in excess of that shown by the auditor's books it will be , .... tho seen that the institution pays more jjjn than its pro rata share of state and county taxes also. The reason is that this institution is in- ^ corporated and is compelled to pay taxes on 60 per cent, of its In capital and surplus as returned in a sworn statement to the comp- pi?| trollcr general. Now if all real T1 and personal property were returned at 60 per cent, of its real coil value the taxes of this one instiiar tution would be reduced to more ^ than half as would the taxes of all T! other corporations operating un- brw der the laws of the state. There jjj*' ought to be a remedy for these broi Conditions and there is no doubt ^ 1 in our mind that publicity would tend to put property returns on a a more equitable basis. A high br1 assessment and low levy is more ' attractive to the home-seeker and old investor than a high levy and low wo' i ^ and < assessment.

Ex- ma< claims the wonderful bugler: 004. "Has it ever occurred to you, a n Mr Chairman, that the cotton cloth made in South Carolina annually would make a sheet bie enoutrh F to cover the entire face of Ameri- Res ca and Europe and lap over on dkl the toes of Asia?

Or, if all the mules that are marketed each year were g one muie, it would consume the staj entire annual corn crop of North nov Carolina at one meal, ^nd kick w^t the spots off the sun without t{jl swelling: fts side or shaking: its tail?
