origin; but that Is not certain. The
loss Is from $3.000.000 to $5,000,000.
There wore several mysterious explosions
before the appearance of the
flames, the first In a big millinery establishment.
ami the second in the
Montlcello hotel. Flames begun to
burst from the tops of the buildings
,immediately afterward. The Montlcello
hotel was almost completely destroyed:
but seven hundred or more
guests escaped without loss of life.
Fires were burning in different parts
of the city at the same time. Fire
Chief Molurughlin expressed the be- J
lief that a gang of firebugs, working
under directions, was responsible for
the fires The city was promptly put
under martial law and all public
buildings were guarded. No one is
allowed on the streets without a pass.
More than twenty persons were arrested.
but nt least half of them have
( been released. There is a genejral conviction
that the fires are the result of
widespread German plots to destroy
the city.
?The chances of a separate peace
between Russia and the Central powers
being effected, says an Associated
Press dispatch from Petrograd. seems
remote, because of what are regarded
as Germany's unreasonable demands.
* Ixon Trotxky, the Bolshevlkl foreign
minister, and his associates take the
stand that the Baltic provinces are in
reality under military' pressure while
they continue to he occupied by Germany
and that their votes with respect
to peace must he ignored, as
i.ow tiuse provinces are virtually
German dependencies, the loyal Runsums
having iled. The Kuss.an delegation
upon its return from Brestlatovsa
Tuesday laid before the council
of romrriiasioners at Petrograd
jet many's demands which caused
amazement and the declaration that

Potatoes Must Be Sold By The
Pound.?From information reaching
Flitted States food administration it
is Ik li? vi il that some consumers do
not know that potatoes are now sold
at wholesale on the hundredweight
oasis, not t Ik* bushel basis as formerly.
IP-tail dealers who operate on a large
ml.- must, by a rule of the food administration.
quote pound prices, and
it is hoped that small retailers will
do '.he same.
Sotne reports of the high cost of
potatoes are possibly due to the change
of pi ice tusis Reports that potatoes
ii<- selling at and $2.50 a bushel In
certain markets are incorrect and apparently
arise from the fact that potatoes
ate quoted at wholesale In
those markets at )2 and $2.50 per
hundredweight, instead of the usual
bush< 1 basis. These figures correP'uid
to pound prices of two cents
ind two and one-half rents respectively.
and to bushel quotations of
1.2" and $1.*>0.
Retail prices will usually he higher
than such wholesale quotations, hut
t In- pound prices should not reach
those that would result using the
bushel as the basis when the quotations
are really on a hundredweight.
The Shelling of Rheims Cathedral.?
A great wave of sunlight lit up a
sombre pictuie of carnage and suffering
at the western end near the
main entrance. Here on piles of straw
lay tin- wounded Hermans in all stages
<>f suffering. Their round, shaven
heads, thin cheeks, and blush-gray
uniforms, contrasted strangely with
lie sombre black of the silent priests
ittending them, while in the background
the red trousers of the French
uldii-rs were just visible on the steps
outside Most of tiie wounded had
i. ii...i. uirnu- l.Kliiml the crent
lot tin- pillars, as if seeking shelter
from their own shells. The priest
oiiducted us- to one of the aisles beneath
the window where the shell had
entered that morning. A great pool of
Mood lay there, staining the column
just as the Mood of Thomas A. Becket
must have stained the altar of fanteihury
seven centuries before.
"That, monsieur. Is the blood of the
Flench gendarme who was killed at 11
this morning; but lie did not go
alone." Tile priest pointed to two
more recumbent figures clad in the
bluish-grey of the kaiser's legions.
There they lay stiff and cold as the
etligies around them. All three had
perished by the same shell.?Asmead

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS
Specific Instructions as to Itcturn of
I*ro|>ort.v for Taxation.
UNDER date of December 29.
1917, I have been officially advised
by Hon. A. \V. .Jones, Chairman
of the State Tax Commission, that
all taxable property in South Carolina
must be returned to the County Auditors
at 100 per cent of its true
market value.
Mr. Jones calls especial attention
to the oath at the bottom of the return
blank. In which the taxpayer is
required to say that the property returned
by him is listed at "What he
honestly believes to he its true market
value."
After returns have been made as
indicated above, they are to be turned
over to boards of overseers, who
will verify the value as stated by the
taxpayer, and then, Chairman Jones
goes on to explain:
After ascertaining what is the
market value of the property In question.
the township or otlier loonl
Ifonrd.o of ns-cssors shall assess 50
per mit, or one-half thereof as the
value of tlic property for purposes of
taxation, and write same In the column
value by the township board.
The column for value hy the County
Hoards will lie left blank to be used
by the County Hoards In equalizing,
or chnnging the assessments made by
the Townsliip Hoards, where they find
it nmwwjr In onlcr to remove inequalities
that may occur in passing
on the sc|>anite pieces of property.
Further the State Tax Commission
Koes on to insist that the taxpayer is
not to assess the value of real estate
but is to leave that to the Township
or other Local Hoards of Assessors;
but with regard to other property,
the Commission says:
Tlic same standard Is to be pursued
In taxing all classes of property,
such as bank share*, textile Industrie*.
oil mills, cotton mills, railroads,
horses and mules and other property
throughout the State, to the end that
each taxpayer shall pay taxes upon
the same proportionate part of the
real \nlue of the property owned by
hhu as Is paid by every other taxpayer
in tlie State. Hits is required by
tlie Constitution. For this reason it
is necessary that the taxpayers make
true returns of the market values;
that they be verified by the towmdiip
or other local boards of assessors ami
that the same percentage, namely, 50
l>er cent of all snch market values
shall be taken as the basts for assessment
of all classes of property.
All of the above is respectfully submitted
as the law.
