rhc Poor Man Pays tlio Taxes
We often hear complaint made
hat all the laws of the State seem
lesigned so exact taxes off the
poor man. When one considers
the dispensary law it is no wonder
that such conclusions are reached.
The man who purchases a bottle
>f "fuss X" or "White Rabbit"
lays a tax to the State, a tax to
he county, a tax even to the town,
n addition to paying on Dispenser's
salary, clerk hire house
rent, etc. The town and county's
share of the net profits on the
whiskey business here for July
amounted to $11)1).05, which has
heen turned over to TAX C()h?
LECTOR Caiithen by the dispenser.
It is time for the poor man
to pondc*. If the dispensary is
to continue pledge your lawmakers
to change the law so as to
lop off the State, county and town
tax you pay every time you buy a
bottle. In other words, do away
with the profit feature.
Since wdtinjr the above the j
Kershaw dispenser has turned over
to TAX Collector Cauthcn $221).- i
0(i, the county and town's part of
the profits in the business there. ,

Letter to Mr K. Moore, Laneas- .
ter, S C
Dear Sir:?Truth will prevail;
many people doubt the Statements .
made in behalf of L & M I'.aint ;
hut when they see how it covers !
and wears, they are prevailed up
on to buy it, and about 10 years
afterward, coino back for more.
The old paint is still in good condition;
but they want to change
the colors on the house. Thin
paints are not in favor because
they are J linseed oil, and nobody
wants to pay a paint price for a
lot of linseed oil. White lead always
chalks and admits moisture
to the wood. L & M Paint is
non-chalkable, and being semi- !
paste, requires the addition of a !
large quantity of linseed oil, which
.educes its actual cost to the
minimum.
Messrs. Crawford Hros. will be
pleased to quote you lowest prices,
and furnish color cards.
Yours sincerely,
Longman & Maktinkz. I
