ANOTHER OFFICE SUGGESTED. (OOXTUTCSB FB03C FIRST PAtfE.) fact that the revenues from this ^ source are far less than from the same source in other States coming under our observation. The laws of this State now require an annual license fee of $50, which amounted this year to $5,880. Also, each company doing business in the State is required by law to return "gross premiums" for taxation, from which source the State received taxes on about $550,000. This year the return of premiums amount to near $750,000. The three largest life insurance companies doing business in this State paid into the treasury of Georgia, as reported by the comptroller general of that State, near $10,000, and into the treasury of South Carolina, a3 far as the facts have been ascertained, $150. The gross receipts have not been returned regularly by any class of companies doing business in the State except fire insurance companies, and these have largely returned only the gross receipts sent by agents to the home office, and thus a large amout escapes taxation. There is another class of companies which slip into the State without complying with its laws in any way and do or less business. rrr i i i i i i ine iaw snouia d? maae more stringent along this line, with a view to prohibiting such business. As it now stands the kw affords no adequate protection to the assured in cases erf losses where contested and judgments obtained, as in many a cases no property is owned in this b State subject to the process of law necessary to compel payment. The only remedy now is for the comptroller general to revoke the license of such companies, which prohibits j further lawful business, but does not afford relief to the citzen of the k State who took risks with such companies. A small deposit from each company admitted into the State, in South Carolina bonds, made with the State Treasurer, would remedy this difficulty, but -should not be so large a3 to be at all burdensome to the insurance companies. rrbic?

If the one-disbursing-officer idea advanced under another head should prevail, then there would be need of a subexaminer, and the insurance commissioner conld be given such authority as this interest may require. Then a large number of interests and business in and seeking to come into tthis State,? that now pay nothing, under our laws for the support of the government. Building and loan associations, foreign land loan associations cannot be reached advantageously except by some system of license, and should be classed with insurance companies and made to contribute their portion of taxes towards the II support of the government whose B protection they enjoy. B There is also large interest that l|| % now comes under the law known as that affecting hawkers and peddlers, ?? which should be placed under the ^ same condition of law and made to B^^^B do their duty as to taxation. In concluding this subject, the B law should be so amended that any B and every class of business in, or B seeking to enter, the State, can be reached and made to pay a tribute B to the government whose citizens B the business seeks to make money B out of or investments among.

Btoial taxable property of fh# j I j State for the liscal year ending 31st ; j October, 1891, is ?168,242,679, j | against ?150,602,421 for the last j j fiscal year. An increase of ?17,640,- ; 218 over last year. About 50 per ; cent, of this increase is due to the ! increased assessments upon railroads, I banks and other corporate property j in the State. Some complaints have been made j as to this special class of increased j assessments, but it is not believed j nor has it been shown that these } assessments are above the true value in money of the property assessed. No complaints have reached this office from the increases on other classes of personal property. It is known that the increase comes almost entirely from taxable property other than real estate. This Legislature, in my judgment, should order a reassessment of real estate in South Carolina as it is known that the average assessment upon this class of taxable property is not much above 50 per cent of its real money value, which difficulty can now be remedied only by the authority of law coming through the action of the Legislature. There are, as I have good reasons to believe, millions of dollars of other taxable property in this State not now upon the tax books, nor can it be fairly reached by the present laws promptly and efficiently. The fact that a large amount of property escapes taxation altogether and that values are placed so low upon other property makes the burden upon that class of property, honestlv returned and assessed, unbear ' mf ' ' able and vicious, and hence largely the cause for the loud and just complaints against high taxation from that class of taxpayers. , With the re assessment of real , estate let the legislature also pro- ( vide a system?a law that will reach any and every class of taxable prop- 1 erty in the State. Let monies, notes, bonds and tax- : able securities of every class and i kind be reached and placed upon j our tax books. < The ramifications of that system < should be so complete and thorough i that no property can elude its grasp 1 and the rich and the poor, the high and the low?the citizen of South Carolina of every condition made to ; feel, to realize' to know that he bears ? only a just portion of the burdens of i a government created and maintained 1 for the Bbnefit and protection of all,, J its citizens alike. ?] - JLSSft'Sbments properly adjusted to ] the true value in money thereof with 1 all taxable property in the State on i erty of the State assessed at its true ] c value, other resources of revenues carefully and judiciously managed and encouraged and expenditures ? kept within the absolute needs of ? tne government, tiie levy tor 1 State purposes could be reduced to 2 i or mills, and thus a great part of t the incentive to the taxpayers to 1 dodge returns gill be removed and ? the estimates placed upon ourselves t at home and opinion from abroad of 1 the State not impaired thereby. ' The present low rate of assessment 1 of the property of the State, as now ] published to the world' is keenly felt { by every citizen who knows the wonderful resources, and financial strength of the State. A knowledge of 1 these facts, too, should act as incen- 1 -III. Oi.i. 1 live to every gooa citizen _ i me ouue to do his full duty in remedying the evil 1 and encourage those charged with 1 the enactment and administration of ( laws to the fullest scrutiny of the 1 cause and the application of such 3 remedies and aids as will produce the t results desired. * The inequalities of the present as- 1 sessments are gross and palpably glaring in some instances of the same class of property in different parts of 1 the State, but the law as it now is < does not confer the necessary authority upon anybody, except every 1 fifth year, to equalize the assessments of the State. If the authority now given to the State beard of equaliza- ' tion for railroads could be extended 1 to all taxable property in the State other them real estate the evil, I think, could be largely remedied, and proper equality of assessments in all these classes of property made and preserv ed.

The Legislature convened vesterThe rAsrlinrr of the Governor's message was postponed until to day. Quite a number of bills were introduced, etc., but only those mentioned below are of interest to our readers. The bill empowering the Governor to remove Sheriffs who allow prisoners to escape, was killed and the marriage licens bill was indefinitely postponed. Senator Stokes of Orangeburg, introduced a bill to establish Calhoun county, which with the bill for the same purpose introduced at the last session, were referred to the Judiciary committee i which meets Friday afternoon to hear representatives on both sides of the question. Friday was set for a joint session to elect a Chief Justice. Maj. H. A. Meetze's chances for being elevated to this high position seems to be as good as those of any spoken of in connection with this office. If he be called to this position, the mantle of the lamented Simpson could not fall upon more worthy shoulders. On Friday evening, Rev. Dr. Lind sey, a Baptist minister of Columbia, noticeing indications that one of his twin daughters, four years of age, was unwell, went to a drug store and requested Dr. Bratton, the prescription clerk therein, to give him three quinine capsules of three grains each. One of these capsules was administered to the little girl on retiring to bed by her aunt about 8:30 o'clock. Shortly after 10 o'clock one of the family discovered that the child could not be awakened, and Dr. Lindsey at once summoned Drs. Talleiy and Heinitch. On their arrival the child was pronounced dead, morphine having been put in the capsules by the durg clerk through mistake for Quinine. A Coroner's in _A ? ? quest was held and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above [acts. Dr. Bratton is deeply afflicted by his sad mistake. George Ducker, aged about 30 rears, attempted suicide at the Hotel Jerome in Columbia Monday mornng, by shooting himself with a pisx>l through the right tGmpie^theT odl^^OH&krg^out through the left eye. Sopes are entertained of his recovery, out if he does he will be blind in ooth eyes. He had written quite a lumber of letters to relatives and ash act. One of these letters ^indi;ated that' business despondency 1 caused the attempt on his life. 1 - i ? *" ' The water was turned in the canal .

It is likely j :hp.t other mills will soon follow. i rhe digging of the canol was com- i nenced ten years ago, and its completion assures the city's rapid pro- < jres3. i A heavy storm passed over Baltimore, Washington, through Virginia, '; Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio Monday about midday, unroofing ; md demolishing a number of houses, \ jprooting trees and destroying fences, ; ? ? i ? mi 3tc., and Killing several people. ?ne Dallustrade around the White House :oof was blown down and crushed i through the roof of the portico, greatly j ilarming the President's family and risitors. i i In Edgefield twenty-five cases i were tried in the criminal court and < convictions "were found in all. This is a grand record for our able solicitor, P. H. Nelson. The crowds attending the Colored State Fair in Columbia are large and the exhibits are creditable. i Batesburg Items. The attendance from here to the Augusta Exposition is on the increase. Large crowds flock to see the big show in the "Electric City." The receipts of cotton is largely in excess of any -previous season. Between four and five thousand bales have been sold here, and still they come. It is sad to contemplate the small returns for the immense amount of labor and supplies necessary in raising so large a crop. 3Ir. M. A. Prater's gin house and ten or twelve bales of cotton, together with much valuable machinery was destroyed by fir6 last Wednesday. His nephew narrowly escraped being severely burned as he escaped from the burning building. Match ji n in tbe cotton me cause. Mr. A. C. Whittle and Wm. Anderson have the sympathy of the community in the loss each of a child in the last few days. The Division Union of the Ridge Association covenes at Bethel church Satuaday next. It will be quite an interesting meeting of the Baptist in this section. Mr. and Mrs. A L. Hartley of your village was with us Sunday. \ \ I They were accompanied for the firs time by a small, but quite an import ant member of their household. Mrs. Capers and children of Proa perity are at Dr. Ridgell's. The; are delighted with our village. The death of Dr. Corley of Waco Texas, was sad to ua. We enjoye( the hospitality of that excellent gen tleman at his pleasant home somi years ago, and he related numeroui incidents of his youth in Lexingtoi and was warmly attached to the ok county. Some of our mill men| are oil i prospecting tour over the line of th< Southbound railroad. They are hust lers, and, should they pitch theL tents on that line, they would mov< the mud. One of your esteemed citizens having drank of the salubrious wa ters of Batesburg, can't stay away He had just as well locate with ui again and not try to break th< "spell." I speak from experience Jimmie, Capt. Harman paid us a flying visii last week. We are always pleased to have him among us. Batesburg has sent a petition tc the Legislature through Senatoi Meetze, which, we trust, will be tht means of still further developing oui resources. We hope for early and favorable action. To-day we recall that the Genera] Assembly meets. No more weighty matters ever demanded the attention of our law makers than those to be presented at the present session. We realize the fact that many reforms are needed, but also know that it is impossible for them to do all. Those * < <1 iii i i who expect tne world to ne revolutionized simply because they have been told on the stump that great thing9 could be accomplished, may be somewhat disappointed, for, at least, we are only mortals, and time will jog along all the same though our ambition may in part fail, and we should reserve some of our criticism till we get there and see how hard it is to do all the dear people wish. The weather is real cold and is severely felt owing to the wind. Hog killing has been indulged in by many, but, alas, for me, I have not so much as a pig; but we hope for better days by-and-by.
