""i ' T?n Good and Sufficient Reasons Why You Should -Buy From Home Merchant*. ~~"~ X. Your homo merchant# can duplicate the prices made by any reaponablle conoerna anywhere on goods of equal quality, In the earns quantities and on the same basis of delivery and psy ment. 7 5. You can exMnlne your purchases In the home atoree and he asaured of aatlafaction before investing your money. 8. Your home merchants are alwaya ready and willing to make righit any error or any defective article purchaaed. 4. Your home merchanta help aupport, through direct .and In direct taxation, your" sohools, churches, libraries and other public Institutions. 6. Your home merchants help make a good local markeit for . everything you have to sell, and that market-^-more than any oth er factor? gives your land its pressnt value. 6. Your home merchants are your good friends, ever ready to sxtend a helping hand in time of need. 7. If this community is good enough for you ?0 live and to piake your money in, 'tis good enough to apend it in. 8. Ths best clttona In thia community are thoae who believe in and practice home patronage. Be one of the beat! 9. The merchanta in the dlatant city give you nothing valua ble that the home merchanta cennot give you ? and jthe former cannot and will hot do for you many thlnga the latter do gladly. XO.

L ? ? ' COUNTY AUDITORS WILL ENFORCE INCOME TAX COPY OF LETTER TO COUNTY AUDITORS FOR GUIDANCE IN ASSESSMENTS. "I? The fololwing 1b a copy of a circular sent to the county auditors of the state by Comptroller general A,W. Jones, for . their information and guidance In assessment of In come taxes: "Under the provisions of Section '830 of the Code, If any person falls or refuses to make a return of his income for the purposes of taxa tion, yon, as Auditor, are required to assess on account of said In come tax suoh amount as appears such tax - payer is liable for from' the best obtainable information by you, either by examination of the defaulting tax-payer or other evi dence, you are to add thereto a penaUy of 60 per cent., and charge the aggregate upon your tax dupli cate. In order that it may appear of record that the party to be tax ed has had notice of your action, and full . opportunity of making a proper return or furx-?hing y >u correct- Information on which to make a return for him, you may, under provisions of 8ectlon 368 of the Code, notify such party to ap pear before you at your office at a time fixed in the uotlce for exami nation under oath by you. I on close a form of notice which you can use In such cases, marked No. 1; this notice should be made out in duplicate, and one copy served on 4 and left with the tax-payer, to be notified by the Constable or the Sheriff, Whose fees are to be paid out of the county treasury in the same manner as thelf fees for serv ing magistrate's process. And If you find that no return was made, and one ought to have been made, then you should charge the expens es of the examination, including these fees of the consttable^or sher iff, on the tax duplicate against the tax - payer, and they shall be col lected with the taxes due by these partties to reimburse the treasury of the county for the expenses paid out by it. In addition to summon ing the tax-payer, who fall* or re fuses to make return, you can sum-' mon and require any either person having knowledge of his affairs, to appear and testify before you, us ing the form of notice which I en close and mark form No. 2. You are not required to summon these witnesses and examine them under oath. If you have other satisfacto ry evidence, or know of your own knowledge, or from general reputa tion, what the Income of the tax payer Is. 1 desire again to call your attention to the fact that In stating th? income of the tax-pay er, the gross profits or ihcome of his business or profession must be taken, leBs the necessary expenses Incurred in carrying on such busi ness, occupation or profession, not including any remuneration to the tax-payer for his personal services lp* the conduct of tthe business and without deducting the amount of any losses of property qr capital which be may have sustained. The mere fact that a person states that he is not liable to the tax does not show that you have UBed due dili gence In ascertaining whether he Is liable or. not. Tou should not re ceive their statement unless under oath, making a complete disclosure of ftrhat his gross income to, Irre spective of any losses of property Saint Johns and Remberta, R. E. Sharpe; St. Matthews. J. M. Stead man; Sumter, First church, D, If. w. Humpnreys; - wateree, Oscar or capital, and what exemptions, if any, are claimed by him. Upon Inquiries heretofore made, I have ruled, and still rule, that In estimating expenses to be deducted from the gross income: 1. A tax-payer is not entl/tled to be allowed a credit deducted 'for rents from his lands; rents are a source of revenue, not an expense. 2.' Where 9 man receives a sal arry for personal services, as for Instance, a president or cashier of a bank, mills, etc., no deduction is shown tt was acttually paid out is to be made therefrom, unless it is of <the salary by the taxpayer to some one else for help rendered him, or traveling expenses requir ed in performing the duties of his position. r - 3. Losses from advances, or bus iness lnvesttmuuts cr other losses of capital invested In property or business cannot be deducted as ex penses from the taxable income. 4. The taxable Income Is the gross income received, less the ac tual necessary expenses incurred in making tthe same. 5. Insuracne premiums or rent tor one's residence Is not an ex pense of business to be deduoted as an expense from the gross incom Where the gross income of a firm, after deducting tthe necessary bus iness expenses, exceeds 92,500, and the Individual members of the firm are not liable individually to the tax, the members of the firm are not liable to be taxed on the firm income in excess of $2,500. 6 6. ' Costs of repairs to property are not to be deduoted from the rents or Income derived from suefa property. 7. Taxes paid on a particular piece of property, or reasonable commissions paid an age&t 'or col lecting rents, may * be deducted in ascertaining the taxable Income from that particular piece of prop erty; but taxeB or commissions paid on one piece of property cannot be deducted from Income derived from a different piece. . , You as an officer, sifter hearing the detailed testimony as to thf> income and expenses -of the tax-pay er, can apply the law to It and ren der an Intelligible judgment. I muHt insist upofl you examining all partlees whose gross income you are informed or suspect are in ex cess of |2,500, and have them xhake such a detailed statement, under oath, as is required by law. The refusals to make any return is of itself presumptive evidence that an examination should be made. The enforcement of this law rests pri marily upon the County Auditor* it being his sworn duty to make this investigation, and to see that his conclusions are In accordance wtth the facts as they really exist, and with the law. Any discrimination or partiality, as between tax-payers, ill assessing thils tax, will not- be ttolerated ? by* this offce, andl If brought to my attention will be re ferred to the Governor, with the request that he remove' the officer. Yours .vefy truly, A. W. JONES, Comptroller General. I endorse the above communica tion and request that you carry out the same in all respects. Should any Auditor refuse, or without Just cause fail to enforce these laws he will be removed from office. COL B L. BLBA8E, Governor. One mouse colored mare mule. Return to A. Atkins, Camden, 8. C.

HE1IU4 AND OTHERS REMEMUEHKD. A score of yearn past the usual (line allotted to man to live, Capt. John Uurdell, at lite homo In Went Wateree, departed this life on the 80th, ult. Tbls remove* from our midst a well known and highly re spected cltlsen? one who for utmost the last half oentury has Lived In thla county and commanded the re spect of those who admired true worth and sterling manhood.

When one met Captain Burdell, be instllnctlvely felt that be was In the presence of a strong, brave, self-reliant man. And this he was,' and mo?*' Dur ing the late war and the dark days (that followed, he did his duty as he saw it. Strong In mind aud body, with limited eduoatlonal advan tages, he carved out of life a bus iness success truly wonderful un der the conditions Jthat surrounded him. His physical courage was -un? questioned, and linked to this was the higher courage to do the right as he saw it whether it met with approval or condemnation. Perhaps, the mos* sc.'iklug trait of his cbaraoter was his self - re liance. He knew not how "to crook the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning." With industry, thrift, frugality, and honesty, and a dependence a lone on the powers given him by a merciful Providence, he accom plished his splendid life work and leaves a record untarnished by syc ophancy, or .servility. While he detested deceit and falsehood, yet his warmest sympa thies were evoked when the waves of misfortune engi4ged the weak and helpless. He was true as steel to those whom he had confi dence In, whether they were popu lar or friendless. 1 ? His munificence to the poor of Kershaw countjr overtops and excels that of any man who ever lived be fore him. He hat left a handsome property to alleviate the sufferings of humanity and the poor of Ker shaw county as will he seen In the below mentioned last! will t' * ' ? ,r? tament, are entitled to this magni ficent benefaction free of charge.
