I hesitate to draw the line Between the two ?where God has not." THURSDAY, JAN. 16, 1913 The list of the counties paying j income tax as compared with the - \ . ... counties that pay nothing is an interesting study. The presumably rich counties of Darlington, Marll>on>, Dillon and several others pay not a certt of income tax, and yet in i at least one of the counties named there are several reputed semi-mil lionaires. Compare Darlington, Marlboro and Dillon with Dorchester and Bamberg, and yet both of the latter counties pay income tax. Surely some counties' wealthy men .v are greatly over-rated or they are very modest in acknowledging their possessions to the county Auditor. GOVERNOR BLEASE'S MESSAGE. Brief Synopsis of More Important Recommendations. Columbia, January 14: -The an-1 JJUOI message ui jviciuvi contains several thousand words and fills a pamphlet of thirty-six pages. The message carries statistical information about the property of the State. The Governor recommended that i the rate per mile for passengers on all railroads be reduced to two cents. "I recommend,"said the message, "that an act be passed making the Medical College at Charleston the ? .1 n l! Medical UoUege ot Soutn Laronna, x and making it a branch pf the South Carolina University, ana appropriating the sum of 810,000 for the purpose of defraying the ordinary expenses of the institution." The Governor also recommended that the name of Clemson College be changed to Calhoun University. The Governor defended his pardon record and called attention to what he said was a monopoly for raising the price of ice. He recommended that an act be passed annulling all exclusive franchises, that water power corporations be taxed, and that the legal rate of interest be reduced to 6 per cent. He recommended that an act be passed forbidding any bank to charge exchange on checks. He recommended that express companies be prohibited from charging for returning money collected on COD packages. The message said that a menace to the white race lies in selling too much real estate to negroes. T*he Governor advocates the repeal of the concealed weapon law,or amending it so that people can carry pistols for 30 days by paying a fee of $5 to the Clerk of court. He also recommended that all do- ] tectives operating in the State be required to register with the Secretary of State.

Honey Hill vs Hell Hole. | The following notice appears in the latest issue of the Southern Christian Advocate: "Rev J C Taylor of Newberry has been appointed to serve the Honey Hill circuit in the Kingstree district for the year* 1913. R L Holroyd, Presiding Elder." And thereby hangs a tale?as to ^ i thp name of that circuit. A few years ago while Rev J E Carlisle of Central church, Newberry, was presiding elder down that way. a new circuit?a long and narrow strip? was formed- in the district he was serving. The Bishop asked Mr Carlisle what name * should be given to the circuit. His reply was: "Well, Bishop, one end of the territory included in the circuit is known as Honey Hill and the other end as Hell Hole." "Then let it be Honey Hill," said : the Bishop.?Xetcberry Observer.
