TAX QUESTION Ul? AGAIN. ''lom's Will Make Hoconiineiidutioiis. Lovy to Urina in Saino. Columbia, Sept. 24.-Whoa -tho next General Assembly convenes it 1B expected that there will bo con siderable discussion as to taxation. For tho past several yours Comp troller General Jones has made rec ommendation after recommendation j to tho Loglslaturo for tax reforms, but nothing of a definite nature lins ever been done by that body in the nature of legislation. Tho subject oi taxation ls usually discussed, a measure introduced and then side Ujackod for other matters. dftYtfAlready this year the State troas irry has borrowed tho sum of $550, . OOO for running expenses, lt ls the opinion of lt. II. Jennings, the Stale Treasurer, that this sum will bo suf ficient until the tax money begins to come In, which will be about November 15. At the last session of the General Assembly the levy was placed at 5 Vi mills. This was an increase over the preceding year. Il is thought that the levy will remain the same this year, ns linne luis been great ? prosperity in the Stale and millions of dollars have been Invested in dif ferent enterprises and land values have advanced to a marked degree. A $0,000,000 R?duction. At the recent meeting of the State Hoard of Eena Ib/attmi the value of' the cotton mills, fertilizer plants and cotton oil plants was cut down by about $5,000,000 when the board placed these enterprises on a basis of 50 per cent in place of 60 por cent of their true value. This deficit ill the matter of taxable property will be made up by the Increased 7 values of real estate and by the seve ral textile plants that have been chartered during Hie year and are in process of erection, itel urns receiv ed so far by the Comptroller Gene ral from the County Auditors of Hie several counties show that the values in real estate and personal property have increased. The Comptroller General will very likely again recommend the appoint ment of a commission lo assess the property of the State. The State hoard meets every year, but this body only takes Hie returns as sub mit ted by tho countv boards. "1 have been somewhat costive, but Donn's Regulets gave just the results desired.

Those Who have visited Senator Tillman re cently give tile opinion that lie is preparing to retire on his Trenton farm. lt can almost be positively stated thal be i--. through with poll lies in this Stale, according to inti mate friends. Senator Tillman's heat lb. however, is very much im proved. N'ai 11 ral ly the question follows: "Who will go to Hie Putted States Senate to succeed lb H. Tillman ?" Then; have been many names sug gested for the place,- and many changes in South Carolina politics are liable to taite? place in tile space? of two years. There is an effort to build up several political possibili ties along this line. Will Ansel Kim? Among those who have been men tioned as likely to declare them selves for the position ave Governor M. F. Ansel, A. F, Lever, Congress man from this district, and Lewis W. Parker, of Greenville. These named have not said positively thal they would contest for senatorial honors yet. Governor Ansel has stated that he intends to go bael; to Greenville when lie leaves the ellice of Oover nor and resume the practice of law. Ile was for many years Solicitor In tho Piedmont section and lias a broad acquaintance. Governor Ansel is not a man to talk politics and lias never intimated thal he would follow the game after leaving Hie olllce of the Chief Execu tive (d' the State. Yoi bo is one of those mentioned. Lewis W. Parker is the best, known and one ol' the most capable mill olllcers in tho country. Ho has been a remarkable ?uccess in every thing that he has undertaken. His name has boen mentioned many times for the Senatorship because it is believed Hitit eventually the jioliti cal fever will catch iii m. A. F, Lever, Congressman from this district, is also mentioned as a possible candidate for the position. Ile has never made a slaloment, bul two years ago he was mentioned and was considered a dangerous oppo nent. There are others who might be mentioned, H. Goodwyn Rhett, mayor ol' Charleston, being among them. The contest is two years away and others may rise up and claim tho tight lo tho position.

That is a conservative estimate ol' the situation. lt is suggested, willi much show of probability, that he will be a can didate two years from now for the seat held by Senator Tillman, and that he will win. wind ber Tillman runs or not. and as it is said that Tillman will not run, his mali I le will fal! on Blease. lt is rather remarkable that many ol' the men who voled for <Hlease are the most astonished at his victory and the most apprehensive, for many thinking men voted for bim in a fit of pique, indignation or whatever they may call ii. The greatest ap prehension is foil for the "influ ences" which afc feared will sur round the executive office. There are many, however, who like Till man, hope for a determination on the part of the new Governor, to really confound his enemies by*wise and conservative exercise of the powers accidentally put In his bands.

The heavy rains yesterday after noon and last night, together with the stillness of the morning, prob ably saved the destruction of the entire lumber plant.
