Away to Georgia for a Messenger to Take - -eit to Washington. r [The State, 18th.] The electoral college of South Caro lina met in the Secretary of State's e office yesterday, and it has "done gone and done it." . It has elected T. L'Ari oso Gantt to be its messenger "trusty B and true," to bear the votes to the National capital. All the members of the commission were present as follows: Ernest Gary, J. Win. Stokes, C. C. Tracy, L. P. I Walker, S. A. Nettles, J. H. McCalla, - J. S. Hart, J. Steele Brice and T. S. Williams. The ballot of the commission was cast for Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson, and the nine certificates I were made out and duly signed. When the matter of selecting a mes senger to Washington came up, the name of T. L'Arioso Gantt was pre - sented, and there was none other. I The question of his eligibility at once arose.. The matter was referred to a special committee consisting of Messrs. 1 Gray, Tracy and Hart, to examine into the law and report as to his eligibility. Thecommittee, orthe majority thereof, reported finding that Mr. Gantt was ineligible. Mr. Gary, the newly elect ' ed judge, submitted a minority report, r claiming that Mr. Gantt was eligible. P When it came to a vote before the commission as to whether Mr. Gantt should be elected or not four of the B niine members voted for each other, - and Mr. Gantt was elected by one vote only, the remaining fve voting for him. Those who did not vote for Mr. Gantt were Messrs. Stokes, Nettles, Brice and Tracy, ali.good Administration men. So it is seen that while L'Arioeo will carry the South Carolina returns, his election was very far from being an honor or even a compliment to him. The majority of the committee sup ported their positions on the following grounds: Thtat under a decision of the Supreme Coust of the United States reported in 6 Wallace, an office was de n fned tobe any position filled by gov enmental a intment, -and combin inlg tenure, dration, enrollment, and duty. All thes'e were combineda the messenger, the tenure though short being defined, his duty being clear, a punishment provided by non compli ance or misfeasance and the enroll mets provided by Statute, that the messenger was a State officer; his cre ators being State officers, as decided in Green vs. Fitzgerald, 10) Supreme Court report and that Se.l1 of Art. XIV of the Constitutioni of South Caro Slina phibited one not possessing the v ulfctions of a voter from being an ~ fieholder. Mr. Gary gives the following as his Vreasons for submitting a mmnority re t port: "My reasons for the minority report are as follows: "The act of Congress regulating elec Stions for President and Vice President - does not specify how the vote of the t electoral college shall be transmitted to Washingtoni. The only authority therefore by which~ it is governed is contained in the act of the General t Assembly of South Carolina of 1889, r Section 157, which reads as follows: "Such electors shall then, by writ ring under their hands or under the r hands of a majority-of them, appoint 1 a person to take charge of the list so sealed up and to deliver the same to the n resident of the Senate of the United States at the seat of the government before the second Wednesday in Feb ruary, then next ensuing. "From my construction of the act t the only qualification is that the mesa 5 senger must be a person and not neces a sarily a qualified elector.". Mr. Brice states that when it came t signing Mr. Gantt's commission, he reue odo so. The -messenger to lWashington will not be overwhelmed s by the compliment.

[Special toNews, and Courie: ] t COLUmBIA, January 7.-Compt: :er General Ellerbe was busy to-day paring the circular of instructio:.- z t county auditors, by wnich he proposes < to carry out the ideas he attempted to c put into execution last year. The 1 Courts objected to his ideas of raising tax returns, and he now thinks that he has all of the necessary authority by which to raise the returns to. conform to his original plan. The work of preparing the circular was finished by gas light. The all im portant instructions read as follows: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT OFFICE"OFCOMPTBOLLER GENERAL. C COLUMBIA, S. C., 7th Jan., 1693. Mr. , Auditor---: Your attention is hereby directed to the fol lowing Act: "To amend and declare the law in reference to the duties and powers of county auditors in reference to the t assessment of property for taxation, t when a false, fraudulent or other int proper return has been made." After the enacting words this law provides: . That from and after the passage of this Act the assessment of property for taxation shall.be deemed and held to be a step in the collection of taxes. Section 2. That Sections 239, 240, 241, . 242, 243 and 244 of Chapters XI of the General Statutes, relating to the assess ment and taxation of property, be and - the same are hereby, declared to be in C full force and effect, and shall be con- I strued to mean as giving full and com- I plete power to the county auditors independent of any rights conferred I upon county boards of assessors or other officers as to securing a fall and com plete return of property for taxation in all cases as expressed in said sections whether fraudulently or otherwise im properly or incompletely made. Section 3. That the a,;tion of the county auditor set forth in the 2d see tion of the Act shall not be interfered with by any Court. of this State by mandamus, summary process, or any other proceeding; but the taxpayer shall have the right, and no other, to pay his tax on such return under pro test as now provided by law. t Section 4. That, etc. Approved by - , December 23, 1892. There can be no doubts under this law as to the duties and powers of coun ty auditors, and they will be expected to-observe carefully the sections of the General Statutes construed by this Act and will be heldto a strict performance of their duties as required by these sec- t tions thus construed under the instruc- i tions heretofore given. by this office in circular form. Much of the success or failure to as certain the whereabauts and value of all taxable property and have it placed upon the tax books is due to the in efficient order and inefficient manage- t ment of the auditors of the respective s counties. All taxpayers are required by law to t return all their taxable personal pro perty between the 1st of January and the 20th day of Februury, 1893, for taxation. Real estate is not returned this year. 1 All personal property not returned, 1 falsely returned, partially returned, or returned at less than its true value in money, is liable to a penalty of 50 per cent. It is the duty of the auditor while taking returns to make such inquiries and investigations as he may deem -ne- 1 cessary to secure a full return of all: taxable property at its true value, and 1 any auditor accepting a return fromi1 any taxpayer when he suspects or has 1 reason to believe that such return is not correct or full is derelict in his official duties. Millions ofdollarsof taxable property annually escape taxation in this State, such as cash, mortgages and other4 credits, which should be carefully looked after and placed upon your tar duplicates and made to bear their just portion of taxation. Auditors are urged to the exercise of4 proper diligence in this matter of taking returns and if the law is wisely, judi ciously and firmly enforced miuch of the evils now suff'ered will1 be remedied and the taxable prop erty greatly increased by getting upon the tax books every class oftaxable Care should be ta.ken in making the valuations made by the taxpayers of personal property as nearly uniform - throughout the county as possible. In the selection of assessors great 1 care should be exercised, an'l the best,4 most impartial and intelligent men should be taken. (Assessors are ap- I pointed annually-under the law.)4 One of the greate.st hindrances to the proper valuation of all properties is the gross irregularities of values as made by the different communities. As far as may be possible.let's have a full, fair, and equitable return and valuations. "All executors, sdmiinistrators, guar dians, trstees, receivers, officers, uns bands, fatl.er., mothers, agents or factors shai! :,e pero'nally liable for taxes on a'l rt"-inal property which was i'i 'wir tewen st the time when ih ro ur,e thereof for taxation should ha~ve be.n:.n.nde by;hemselves."

WILL REvJv:g "LD ISSUES. [Special to News and Courior.] COLMBA, January 8.-Watch the, banking institutious of tl.e S:ate follow the example of the National Ban k of New berry, which reduced its surplus $7,000, and in that way will have $412 less taxes to pay next fall. Of course the circular of instructions of C7omp troller G3eneral Ellerbe will prov~e especially interesting to the banks, phosphate compamies, factories, mills and corporations of all kinds that have accumulated a surplus with which to conduct a successful business. For the very same reasons that the corpora ions last year fought the raising of~ their taxes they will do so again. They contended at that time that their assess ment, as ordered by the Comptroller General, was unjust because of its in equality with other tax standards. It was not so mi,ucht a.fight on technicali ties ason what the corporations thought 1 were their rights. Wheter Comptrolle3r General Ellerbe I will atfemipt to repeat his crusade against the banks remains to be seen,1 as nothing can be anticipated until ifter the returns are made and they are passed upon by th6 boards of assssors. Mr. Ellerbe will probiably-again insist' upon having the banks return their 1 stock at their "market" value, as based upon the books, and this will naturally precipitate another and perhaps moreI vigorous fight. He is, however, per fectly sincere and honest in what he is doing and will do all the more to carry out his peculiar ideas. It can hardly, however, be said that the Supreme Court's decision is as favorable towards: his course as was the Legislature. It .. estimated- that the "raise" of the Comptroller General over the returns of personal property last year amounted to about two million dollars. It will readily be seen that the big stakes are being played for, and .that there is not very much use for either side to do any "bluffing." Last year when there was a similar 'contest the banks were preparing to reduce their rlus. Some of them succeeded, and if e polcy is continiid there will be many more. The. resut will be that thei- will not be si uch money to loan toghthe bajan The Admin s.. tIu howeer: h that the )anks can better afford to make the .nterest on its money than to distrib ite it amorg its stockholders. That G *emains to be seen, and it is most like y as dangerous as it is an unwarranted xperiment. The entire question has been so :horoughly discussed that until some hing new develops itself it is useless o "thrash the old straw." g The circular letter is substantially e he same as that issued last year, ex epting that it is prepared by the re entiy enacted law and a reminder to ic he auditors that most of the success )f the law depends on them.

West, secre ;ary of the cotton bureau of theNation i Farmers' Alliance, has issued an Tb rddress to the order advising a reduc ,ion of acreage of cotton planting. He ays that the Southern States produced an i5 per cent of the cotton grown and 82 uer cent of the staple availbble for use ps n this country. He holds that cotton pa nills in-the South are desirable, but ne inattainable, this not being a manu- p aeturing country. The salvation of the n< southern farmer is diversification of a ~rops and living at home, instead ofp epending on the pork packers of the a sorth for food. He points out, in sup- a ort of this argument, that the reduo- p ion of the crop this season resulted in bi i marked increese in price, and iusists st hat cotton planters can secure fair p rices every season by keeping produc- ar ion within reasonable bounds.

When or isked for hris views on the Dispensary w aw, he said that he thought the out- w nd-out prohibitionists were ready to ci rive it a trial. He believes that it will tlh e impossible in the larger portion of til e State to get the freeholders to sign dII be petitions and that it will in reality mount to total prohibition. He don't think that there will be auy attempts at run3'ing " blind iters." He thinks that the prohibi .ion question as a national and a State ssue is now entirely out of politics in south Carolina, which is not exactly vhat the prohibitionists wanted. EXCELSIOR NOTES.
