Special Tax On Fertilizers. A Full Statement of the Whole Mut1? C.^r.1 In* Viimlur t.f IVfinipnt ! lCr~~QUJttI4Cl UU?MV* V* Fertilizers Thau Ever Before. The recent remarks of Hon. George D. Tillman at one of the campaign ' meetings in reference to the fertilizer tax has called forth the following reply: Clemson College, July 1, 181)8. The attack made by Col. Geo. D. Tillman on the management of the fertilizer department of Clemson College, also the letter of Senator S L. Connor making similar charges, seem to demand a statement from this department of the real facts, so that the people of the State may know how the law is enforced. Col. Tillman is quoted as sayiDg: ; "The college only admits haviug raised $60,000 from the fertilizer tax last year, whereas it is believed she ought to have at least $100,000 more than that if the tax had been faith fully collected and honestly accounted for. But .there is something wrong, very, very wrong, about both the collection and disbursement of that tax." He further says: "Prior to that time the State agricultural department had faithfully and efficiently executed the fertilizer tax j law, not only in analyzing guano, but in collecting the tax, payiDg it over -to the State treasurer, collecting more in proportion to guano used I than Clemson acknowledges she received last year."' Col. Tillman is either densely ignorant as to the facts of this business, or is trjing by misrepresenta v7 tion to make political capital for himself at the expense of the officials of the department. I prefer in chanty to take the former view of the matter. In contrasting the present administration of the fertilizer law with the State agricultural department of the past, he would have you believe that under the old system theie could be no chance for dishonesty in : accounting for the money collected, j while under the present system the ' privilege tax money is collected by irresponsible officials, and such re- J turns of same made as they see fit, j while the facts are. under the old j system the tax money was collected j by the commissioner of agriculture i and his ageuts, and turned over by them to the State treasurer, and under the present system every dollar of this money is paid direct to the State treasurer, and no official of the department is allowed torcceeived any part of it. The law requires that it be paid to the treasurer of the State, and in our iu structions sent out to fertilizer manufacturers we state that all up plications for tax tags must be made to the State treasurer, aud all cheeks, money, etc., in payment then for must be made payable to his order; so if there is any failure to account for the money collected under the present system, the State treasurer must also be a party to the transaction. In the foregoing statement I do not wish to be understood as makiDg any charge against the old agricultural department. I mention it only to show that there are more safe-guirds in regard to accounting for the money collected under the present system than under the former. Again, Col. Tillman's statements as to the amount of fertilizers consumed in the State show plainly his ignorance on this point. He estimates that 828,000 tous were consumed in this State last year. Georgia uses by far more fertilizers than any other State in the Union, and according to the most reliable statistics she used about 400,000 tons last year. South Cirolina stands 1 /t ? 1 1 A next in tae amount consuuieu, uui the has never used more than 259,000 tons all this year. One of our State Senators, who has taken great interest in this fertilizer question, has recently compiled a report showing the total amount o? commercial fertilizers delivered at all points in the State, and he finds the amount to be, in round numbers, 257,000 tons. Privilege tax has been col- jlected this year on 251.0)0 tons. This small difference cau easily be | accounted for by the fact that many I oil mills, also many dealers, buy j large lots of feitilizers from the fac- ; tories and sell and reship the same j croods to small adj cent towns, and ! in such cases the railroads deliver j the same goods twice, but of course j they are taxed only one time la view of the foregoing facts, rati i aDyone believe that there is ?100,000 j of the privilege tax uncollected cr unaccounted foi? Now, as to Senator Connor's charges: The substance of his tirst charge is, that he knows the feitiiiz r law can be evaded, because he did it himself. He took 100 "old tags that bad been used,"' and seDt them to a manufacturer, with an order for fer n? ?wmati ii n i Btffcea?aso tilizers, ami a?ked that he be credited with the value of the 100 tags. The manufacturer, presuming that u man of Senator Connor's standing would procure tax lags only in a legitimate way, of course gave him credit for them. There is no violation of the law on the part of the manufacturer, as be pays the tax on the goods sold. The only fraudulent part of the transaction is Senator Connor's obtaining the tags in an illegitimate way. J.u iiKC manner it imgui, uc [uu\cu that many laws on our statute books can be evaded. I admit, however, that there is a weak place in the fertilizer law just here. The law should make it a misdemeanor for manufacturers or dealers to obtaiu tax tags from anyone except those legally authorized to sell them. The other irregularities referred to by Seuaton Connor were promptly reported, through the board of fertilizer control, to the attorney general of the State, with all the evidence in our possession, and the compromises made by his advice. We know perfectly well that the fertilizer law is violated in some cases every year, sometimes through ignorance of the law, and at other times, perhaps, willfully, but the records of the present administration show that there aie a smaller number of cases of evasion of the tag tax, also of deficient fertilizers the past season than ever before. That the fertilizer law is imperfect in some respects I admit, bat that it has not been honestly administered I deny, and I defy Col. Tillman or any one else to prove the charges be makes. As to the efficiency of the department in giving protection to the consumers, the people themselves must be the judges. J. P. Smith, Sec. Attention Veterans. Head Quarters, CampSteadman, No. GGS, U. C. Vs. Lexington, S. C, July 13, 1898. The fourth annual meeting of Camp SteadmaD, No. GGS, IT. C. Vs., will be held at Lexington, S. C., on Tuesday, August the 9th, 1898, at 10 o'clock a. m. This will be a meeting of importance and it is earnestly desired that each and every member be present in attendance at the same. New officei s will be elected for the comiDg year, aud as the welfare of the camp depends upon the actions of its officers, members should come to the meeting prepared to vote for good and active men. We hope to have several speeches on the occasion and thereby make the meeting Dot only interesting but beneficial to those who attend. A cordial invitation is hereby extended the general public to be present, By order of J. 11. Counts, Commauder. M. D. llarman, Adjutant. Washington, July 5.?Representative Berry, of Kentucky, introduced the following resolution todav: "ReO * "1 r-TM < it I l 1 / 1 solved, mat me manns 01 congress and of the American people are here- j by tendered to Commodore Schley, U.

When The Headlight, mouths ago. ! spoke kindly of Gov. Filer be, and demanded for him fair play, tlie report was at once started that "Gantt I had sold out to Bdl Xc-al." Among our maligners none were more bitter than the Laurensviile Herald, which surprised us; because we had always looked upon its editor, Col.'Tom Crews, as a fair man and our friend. But from the following editoiial, taken from the last issue of the Herald, it seems that Brother Crews I has either had his eyes opened or I has fallen a victim to the wiles of CjI Xeal. It is now in older for candidates Archer and Watson to dip their syringe into some cesspool J and bespatter Tom Crews. But from i the way the State press is coming over to the Kllerbe si do, he mutt have gotten hold of Yanderbilt's fortune to use as a corruption fund. Here is how the Laurensville Herald raises the ll ig of rebellion against bossism auuouuciDg that its editor has written his own emancipation proclamation: "Probably no man, unless it was Ben Tillman himself, has ever made a braver, cleaner or more determined campaign than Governor Eilerbe is now making to succeed himself as Governor of the State. With every faction and shade of opioiou arrayed against him, tho clean, honest and brave campaign he is making has served not only to weld bis admirers the closer to him, but to extort from those who have been disposed to criticise and oppose him that well merited support which his calm, dignified and unanswerable defense of himself on the stump so eminently deserves.

The Laurensville Herald is an independent newspaper and its editor does his own thinking and consults his own judgment. While cheerfully according perfect liberty of opinion to every man, he claims the same privilege for himself: and while giving a willing ear to the a Ivioe or suggestions of his friends, he repels dictation as contemptuous, preferring to do his own thinking along political liues, which he con. . ceives to be for tbe best good oi the State without regard to the selfish motives of professional politicians. He scorns to wear any man's collar, and next week will give his reasons for supporting Governor Ellerbe in the present campaign. The fight is now on, and it remains to be seen whether a combination of politicians is to triumph against him, or whether the will of an honest, reflecting people is to prevail. The Herald will continue to be for the people, let the result be what it may." ? Tiio Sure La Grippe Cure.

There is now little doubt that the Spanish steamer destroyed by the Hawk, Prairie and Casline at Mariel on Wednesday last was the transAtlantic liner Alfonso XII of nearly 0,000 tons. Although the American ships were unable to approach close enough to clearly establish her identity on account of the brisk fire j from the steamer and the shore bat- | teries, her appearance corresponded almost exactly with the description of the Alfonso XII, as given in j_i :oyu s. The destruction of the ship, was a daiing piece of work. The credit docs not all belong to the Prairie, j whose big guns finally encompassed J the Spaniard's ruin and left her a mass of blazing wreckage on the beach. The work of the little converted yacht Hawk was heroic to a degree. It was she who first dis? i coveied the enemy aud alone gave j chase, running back for the assistance of the two larger gunboats | only when the Spaniards drew in j under the Mariel batteries and close i to two Spanish gunboats lyiog in the j h ta bur.
