. $300 REWARD. State of SouTn Carolina, ) Executive Department, j Whereas, information has reached this Department that a brutal murder was committed on the night of the 18: h December, on the person of Patrick Murphy, { who was the pump tender at Hampton's Turn Out, on the line of the South Carolina Railroad, six miles below Columbia, in Richland county. The appearances indicate that a terrible struggle must have occurred between the murdered man and his murderers, and from the traces of blood up the railroad, it is supposed that the perpetrator of this foul deed has been wounded in some way by the deceased in his struggle for life, which may lead to detection. Now, therefore, I? Robert K. Scott, Governor of the State of South Carolina, in furtherance of the ends of .justice, and that the law mav be vindicated, do hereby effera reward ofFIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the apprehension of the perpetrator or perpetrators of this barbarous murder, and their delivery in any jail in this State, with proof to convict. m In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the great seal of the State to be aftixed. at [seal] Columbia this 2Gth, day of December, A, D., 1871, and in the ninety-sixth year of the Independence of the United States of America. ROBERT K. SCOTT. Governor. F. L. Cardozo, Secretary of State. jan-4. OFFI EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. Office of Auditor of State. Columbia, S. C., December 20th, 1871. The question having been raised as to Wltether the law authorizes the State Auditor, upon the approval of the Governor, to extend the time for the payment of taxes, after a careful examination of all the acts bearing upon the subject, and being unable to find any authority for such action, but at the same time knowing that extensions, have been granted in previous years, I submitted the matter to the Attorney-General for a legal opinion. In reply to the question alluded to, the Attorney-General answers: "I have the honor to say that the only section under which it is claimed, so far as I am aware, that the State Auditor, with the approval of the Governor, may extend the time for the collection of taxes, is the 147th section of the tax act. That section is in these words: 'If any of the duties required to be performed in this act on or before a certain day by any officer herein named cannot, for want of proper time, be so per- ] icrmed, the State Auditor, with the apSroval of the Governor, upon proper evience of the necessity of the same, may extend the time as loDg as may be necessary therefor.' An examination of this section will, I think, lead to the conclusion that it has reference simply and only to an exteotiou of time necessary for the tax officers to , perform their duties, and was not intended to, and does not in terms, authorize an extention of time for the payment of taxes. I am aware that a different construction has been acted upon for the past three years, but now that the question is presented to me for the first time for my opinion, I am obliged to say that I do not think this section gives authority to you, upon the approval of the Governor, to extend the time for any other purpose than in allow the tax officers to coniolete their prescribed duties." The law as construed by the AttorneyGeneral, in whose opinion I fully concur, does not allow the exercise of discretionajy power to auy officer in this matter. I would therefore once more bring to the notice of all the importance of prompt and punctual payment of taxes, as under the decision above quoted 1 cannot do otherwise than execute the law, as provided for in the 97th section of the Tax Act, passed* September 15, 1808, which says that the penalty shall attach upon all tax's and aS sessm^nts not paid on or before the 15th day of January.
