South Carolina Acsessed at Nearly $44,000,000 More Than Year Ago. An increase in the amount of taxable property in South Carolina of $15,362,839 for 1920 over 1919 is shown in the annual report of "Wilbur V. Sutherland, comptroller general, who gave the -figures out last Saturday. These figures are contained in the duplicates of county abstracts from the various counties as received by Mr. Sutherland from the auditors. Some extremely interesting tax figures are gleaned from the tables. For example, in 1920 a total of 113,825 dogs were returned for taxation, "as compared with 10S.055 for 1919. During the year .insi passed a less number of acres of land were returned for taxation than in 1919. In 1919 the land acreage returned was IS.693,519. as compared with 18.637.983 for 1020 . These lands wore returned for taxa1 lion ati a total value of $110,010,394 in 1919 and $109,876,906 in 1920. The land was returned at an average value of a little more than $6 an acre for the entire state. The total value of buildings in the state for 1920 is given as $26.591.S67, as compared with $24,313,934 for 1919. The value of real estate in cities, towns and villages is put down as $76,052,148 for 1920, as compared with $73,815,240 in 1919. The total value of all real estate during the, past year was $212,520,421, which was a considerable increase over 1919 with $20S,139.568. Personal property was returned at $1889.4S2.33S for 1920 in comparison with $119,335,198 for 1919. The value of railroad property advanced from $45,3S5,1S1 in 1919 to $16.220 027 in 1920.' Taxable property as a whole took n big advance, due partially to the state lax commission's activities. In 1919 the total taxable property was $-102. 359.947, >an(l in 1920 it reached $443.222.7S6, an increase of over $-14,000,000.

The special county tax totals $903,507, as coin pa roil with $524,352 in 1919. Taxes for public roads will reach $355,000 against $721,150 in 1919 and the special two mill levy for public roads will bring in addition to the first named sunt $390,445. The total laxos for county purposes for 1920 will be $0,424,923 . as against $4,132,004. The constitutional three mill tax will bring in $1,344,60S against $1,203,579 for 1919.

Polls assessed in 1920 reached a total of $205,072 at $1 a head. In 1919 the number was $247,040. The number of dogs for 1920 was \ 113.325 and 1 ho capitation tax on them reached $02,257. The capitation road I tax totaled $309,220 for the year just j ( closed. Assessments for the support of the railroad commission was $19,000.

V .. jm. ??. I ??*.??< ty-onc c<?tton mills in Spartan i >iii*.s county, having a total capital stock of $X.90S.900 on January 1, have paid stock dividends amounting to $6,05$,OOo and cash dividends amounting t" $2,090,010.50. a total of $S. 157.010.50 during the year ending today, according to figures compiled by A. AI. Jguv & Co. Included in the cash dividends is the sum of $S3S.170 being paid in semi-annual dividends today, but the totals do not include dividends paid during the year by mills in adjacent counties. Ihe managements of which are located hero. The combined stock and cash dividends paid by the mills of the county liming the year lack but $S?0.300 of equaling 11??* combined capitalisation of the mills at the bey,inning of the year. . * The stock dividends represent for the most part profits accumulated during the era of high prices prevailing since 1915 but which were not distributed until after the United Slates supreme court declared early last summer that stockdividends were not taxable. All the mills, it is said, have good surplus accounts left after paying their dividends. Since th'o deflation of prices began : several months ago there has been little curtailment of output by the mills of this county. Ail are running on practically full lime now and exited to continue doing so. There has been a reduction in wages during recent weeks averaging 20 per cent. ; which lias been accepted in good spir- I its it is said by the operatives, who sec in to realize that the reduction was necessary under changed conditions. The mill men report more inquiries for goods during Ihe past week than for some time previously and they say they are expecting a brisk demand a little later on. Several substantial or- j dors have been filled during the past I ten days, and one mill 1his week sold j til'tv eases >>f goods this week at a net Ifiss or $1 .no per case. The cloth, however. was insole months ay,o from hiirh price cottpn and under the wape scale then prevailing. The same poods manufactured now from present priced raw cotton and with the present wane sca'e would show a substantial profit. Local mill men without exception say they look for satisfactory business during the year. Cotton Farmers' Sor.g.

"Careful canvass of the S00 cotton producing counties brings to light the positive assurance that the 1921 cotton crop will be reduced 50 per cent, and that food and feed crops in the south will be correspondingly increased," says J. Skottowe Wanna maker, president of the American Cotton association in a statement issued from Columbia. "We are convinced," says Mr. Wannamaker, "that not more than one-third of the cultivated lands in 1921 will be planted in cotton. Thousands of farmers, large and small, in various sections of the belt have taken a solemn oath that they will not plant, nor permit to be planted, an acre of cotton-on their lands in 1921." ? Two unusually distressing deaths were reported during the holidays directly chargeable to a new kind of firecracker sold almost everywhere under the very appropriate name of "son of a gun." It is a composition of phosphorus, mixed with different powerful explosives in small- proporI tions, the mixture being wrapped in tarred paper in such a way as to induce intermittent but vicious cracking, without especial danger. It is exploded by friction, under pressure, or by lighting with fire, as preferred, and when once started to cracking continues to crack quite viciously for from one to two or three minutes. The" victims were children who put the fire works in their mouths. One of the children was a little three year old boy in Florence, named Steve Tubcrville and the other was a five year old Bennettsville boy named Percy B. Odom. The Florence boy was treated with emetics after it was learned that he had taken the poison, and appeared to had taken the poison, and appeared to afterward he died. Practically the same thing occurred in the case of the Bennettsville boy. MERE MENTION President Wilson is said to have refused an offer of $150,000 for the first magazine article he should write after retiring from the presidency on the ground that no magazine article is worth that much Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, is devoting himself with great energy to the proposition of securing an agreement between the United States, Great Britain and Japan for the reduction of armaments, especially naval armaments Dr. Theobald von Bethmann-Hohveg, former German imperial chancellor, d.ied on his estate near Berlin Saturday night after a brief illness Cotton mills in various pans 01 ine tuuiur} are starting up on full time..;." Enmonn De Valern, president of the Irish republic, who has been in America for some time past, is said to have managed to get back into Ireland; but so far the British government knows nothing of his whereabouts It is pretty generally expected that President Wilson will veto the resolution to revive the war finance corporation, and friends of the measure will do what they can to induce congress to pass it over the president's veto The Sparrow Point plant of the Bethlehem steel corporation has announced a reduction of from 10 to 20 per cent, in wages to take place on January 1? Representative Britlon of Illinois, wants President Wilson to make representations to President Millerand of Prance and the league of nations; looking to the removal of the French black troops from tlte occupied Rhine districts of Germany. ? A big navy lniloon that has been lost since it sailed from Rockaway, Xew York on Deember 13, has been located at last at Moose Factory, a trading post of the Hudson Bay company, away up in Ontario. S00 miles from the starting point. The balloon arried a crew of three men. l.ieut. Walter Minion cf Italic Harbor, X. Y? a pilot under Commander Albert C. Reed, on the XC-l's trans-Atlantic flight, was in charge. His companions were J.ieuts. Stephen A. Farrell. a ine officer of Xew York, and Bonis A. Kloor. Jr., of Xew Orleans, naval reserve force, pilot. The three officers were supplied with normal rations for three days, which would serve them for ten days in emergency. They had fur-lined garments and electrically heated warmers to make ihf.ii- viivrii-f more comfortable. After the balloon had been missing for 9(? i hours, the army and navy authorities began to give it np that the passengers in the big gas bag had been lost. .Vows of the safety of the men, however. came Sunday in a telegram from Mattice, Ontario, reading as follows: "Driven by storm Monday 12-13. west by north, at lower Hudson bay. forced to land 2 p. in., 12-1-1. about ten miles ' north by east of Moose Factory, Ontario, latitude fil.50: longitude S1.0. !
