We are informed that the county
.cOnllssioners have concluded- lot
to attempt, the levy of a tax for
county purposes. This action is
quite senible..: It..was unwise and
.Iunnecsary, in the first instance,
to go through the form of doing an
act for which it is very doubtful that
there is any legal sanction. It is
the opinion of sotp)o of the ablest
jurists in South Carolina that the
county comlmissionere have no goner
al authority to levy tamc3;, hu tn .t s
derive such authority through a
positive enactment of the Legis
lature. There is now pending in the
Supreme Court a case involving this
right, and it is expected that there
will be gi early settlement of the
matter. .Until such sottlenent it is
certainly the pat of wisdom for the
county conlimssioners tp aftenupt
no levy pf taxes whatever.
