TAX-PA VKK HKI4KH INFORMATION Doesn't Sec Equity ns Retweon "Idck orlsts" and "Autoists." (Unavoidably Omitted Last Week.) Walhalla. Juno lt). Editor Keo weo Courier: In au Issue of your pa per a few weeks since, some one ask ed the question what is done with the liquor that is sei/cd 'by Hie Sheriff oi- policemen, which you answered promptly as to the law in the matter I wish to ?et information as to law in certain matters, and hope thal you v iii not feel ?hat I am Intruding on your valuable lime. 1st. What steps aro taken when a persons fails to pay his taxes, afto.* the time has expired to pay them; also what proceedings of law, and by whom shall it he enforced. 2d. What difference is there in au auto license or the regular tax you i have to pay each year on all prop-j orly? What is the result if you don't j pay your taxes in the required time j set hy the laws. ?id. Tho time for paying auto li cense was out the first of June, ti) 1 G. I and was regularly advertised in your j paper for several weeks lo that effect.. There is hardly a day passes but what you can see machines running, open ly, whose owners have paid no li cense. Who is the proper ono to en force this law. and why is it ignored? Tho Clerk ol' Court says it is up to the Sheriff; tho Sheriff says it is none of his business as long as the Clerk continues to receive Hie licenses after the time has expired. I would like' to know what the law ls in this mat-' ter, and who is to enforce it. A lew days ago I saw a friend, ! dressed in the garb ol' a convict, and on his way to serve his lime (12 months) on chain gang. lt. was not a pleasant sight lo see. Tho poor fel low had hoon caught selling whiskey. 1 admit ho violated the law. and knew he was doing it. I feel sorry for him. and especially for his wife and children, who are not responsi ble for his wrong-doing. Rut the! very men who caused his arrest let ; Others daily run (heir autos without having paid their lin?ense for this! year. ls there any justice in this' slate of affairs? You must reinem- ' ber, loo. for one offense yon go to the , chain gang; l'or tlie oilier there is a! tine le pay. The people can he fooled some times, hui you can't fool all the peo ple all tin? time. Will you he kind enough to pub liai' the above and also give us thc law Ul it ? Tax-Pa.vcr. ii? nie No. I. "Tax-Payer's" Quest ions might be answered in a do/en dlffer onl ways by as many different per sons to whom submitted. As to tho proceedings in the matter of default ing tax-payer-, lhere is little confu sion, tor the simple reason that spe cific modi's of procedure have boen pr lcd In the laws governing thc collet t ion of taxes on property. In this instarte tho lax-payer makes his rellim, which ls lalor considered by the board of town or township asses sors, from whoso action, If lhere he objection, Ibo tax-payer has tho righi of appeal to tho county hoard of equalization, and oven the same righi before Ibo Slate board. This ls all preliminary to the actual levying and collection of laxes, of course. After tho expiration of tho time sci for paying taxes (Doc. :?lst ol' each year).for a given period taxes may bo paid with certain penalties attaching, according to tho limo at which thoy are tu I nally paid. If liol paid during the penalty periods, then the County Treasurer turns in his lists to the Sheriff, whose duly il is to serve exe cutions, collecting original tax, pen alty and costs, ll necessary, the She riff has the right to sell the property assessed for taxes. 7n the maller of tho automobile license, however, the proceedings are entirely different. Tho penalty corned in tho shape of a tino or im prisonment for failure to pay tho tax, and this "upon conviction in any court of competent jurisdiction." The burden, it seems lo us, falls as much on the citizen as to tho official to see that tho .'aw la enforced. There aro automobile license dodgers Just as Ibero aro property tax dodgers. If a citizen knows of an automobile owner who lias not paid Iiis automo bile lax. it. is his duty, we think, to so report to the Clerk of Court or the Sin ill?, whoso special duty it would I heil don bl less be to swear out a warrant, on Hu; information of tho citizen. lien; ls the provision that applies in this matter: "Sec. I. Any person or persons violating tiny ol' tin; provisions ol' this ad (No. 828, providing license fee for operating automobiles and motor vehicles in Oconee county), shall, for eacb offen so, bo doomed guilty of a misdemeanor, and. upon conviction thereof, by any court of competent jurisdiction, be liable to a Hue of not less than $20 nor more than $100, or imprisonment at hard labor for a term or not less than IO days nor ex ceeding !{() days." We aro unable to find any refer ence to mode of procedure in the mal ler of penalising delinquents other iban that remedy offered through the medium of warrant, trial and convic tion. The remedy, therefore, lies largely with the Individual citizen, and until "sentiment" grows stronger and the individual citizen becomes sufficiently interested to re port cases of violation, those parties who dodge the auto license will have comparatively an easy job. lt is a lot easier for these license dodgers to also dodge tho officials than it ls for the officials to catch tho offenders, ll ls not so hard for the private citizen as for the official to "run down" such breaches of the law. Whenever "sentiment" crystallizes lo such an extent that tho license or tax dodger knows he has to watch tho private citizen just as ho has to avoid the official, then the license dodging business is going lo stop, and not un til then. It may even seem that there is Inequality ?is between the punishment provided for the auto license dodger and the maker or sailor of contra band liquor. The claim could scarce ly be made, however, that the two offenses are on a parity. CALO.MEL SALIVATES AND MAKES VDU SICK. Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver ard You Lose a Day's Work.

Knapp School ot' Country Lifo ls a pan. is the author of this week's Hliinulutilig "Success Talk for Hoys." Here aro the six vital matters as Ur. Payne seos them > : Six Huios for Success. I. (Ipoii-Mimlcdiicss.--Keep your mind open for new ideas; he willing to give them many patient trials. Do not hastily refuse the suggestions ol' others when given orally or upon the printed page. Test all things, and then hold fast to that which is good. Open-mindedness to new thought, with a few profound convictions re garding that which has been tried and found sure, are sure elements of success. ii. Kn most ness.-Wake up and keep awake! Whatever your hands lind to do. do it with your might. He sure your hands find the right thing to do. Then don't he half-hearted in tho doing. In good work there is no such thing as tem iterance. Be as in temperate as you please In accom plishing the right, the useful and the good. :?. Meal th.-Keep your mind and your body clean, healthy and whole. The victory is to the strong. The lame, the halt and the blind carry no loads. Von owe it to Cod and man to be as strong and as well as you can. A living dog is better than a dead lion, provided the dog can do some thing. I. Concentration.-Hegin to learn to do some important work and stay with it until you excel in it. Pro longed and unremitting concentra tion of mind and body upon some one undertaking useful both to humanity and to yourself is a prime requisite i of success. The world is in some j strange hut certain way organized so that he who sets himself doggedly to produce such contributions for his ! fellows can in no wise fail in this world, and therefore not in the next, i .'S. Obedience to Laws.-Try to dis cover as many of the laws of nature. ? the laws of man, und the laws of God j as you can. Then forever regulate your action and adjust your life to ; these laws. God alone makes laws. lt is man's business to discover them and obey them. 0. Friends.-Half your success will I come from your friends. Make friends. Do something for as many people as you can. It pays, though you will never make it pay if you do it for pay. Lay up for yourself treas ure in this heaven of friendship and I no man may steal it. from you. Invest something in other people. lt is profit allie, il' not always in the way you desire, then in a better way. It will be paid in God's own time and manner. Bruce H. Payne. DOCHT BISA PIM?A BS.

Altor having boon unable to work lor lour months on account ol ill health, during which period she suf fered from chills, fever, indigestion and that most repugnant and discom forting of all complaints-belching, which would continue for an hour at a time-Mrs. L. Boylet, well known housewife of No. 2 Blake street, Charleston, has added her name to tho thousands who have found relief in the use of Tanlac. T suffered from indigestion and chills and fever," states Mrs Boylet. "My indigestion caused me terrible pains in my stomach and chest, and I would sometimes belch for an hour at a time. 1 suffered something ter rible at times. lt seemed that I could not digest anything that I ate. "I Buffered from extreme head aches and was extremely nervous, jumping at the slightest noise. After eating I would have a pretty full feel ing in my stomach and 1 became very | weak. These chills and fever would come on me very suddenly. I would be sitting, talking to my friends pos sibly, and severe pains would start running up my limbs. In a few min utes they would spread to my back and upper body. Then those terri- j hie pains would continue for hours. Chills would set in and 1 would go to 1 bed. in a short while I would be- , come unconscious, remaining so for 1 nearly half a day. I had these spells 1 about twice a year and have had j them for about four years. Some- ? times my feet and ankles would j swell to double normal size and , sometimes a large blister would form : on my knees. This would first turn red and burn just exactly like a red- I hot iron being pressed to me. In a day or two it would turn into a real blister. When this blister was open-: ed and tho water let out it would turu into a very bad sore. 1 tell you, 1 I suffered terribly. I had not been j able to work for four months be- ; cause of my poor health. Sometimes I would turn black in the face, and have been pronounced dead while in j tile grip of these spells. These two conditions were gradually killing me. I do not believe that I would have j lived very long if 1 had not got relief j I when I did. "I read some ol' the wonderful i things that Tanlac was doing, and one of these statements was that of a friend whom 1 have known for more than fifteen years. "The relief thal 1 received from : Tanlac has been wonderful. It has relieved me of my indigestion en tirely. My appetite is just too good. I can eat, and crave nearly every t hing. "Those headaches 1 had (they ? nearly drove me out ol' my mind at times) have boen entirely relieved. I have not had a headache since 1 started taking Tanlac, and my nerv ousness is gone. I have not had one of those spells, although I have pass ed tho period when they usually ?.onie upon mo. I do not believe that I will ever have them again. They have come on mc regularly at about the middle ol' May, and they did not come on nie this year because I took Tanlac, I know.
