I ly that it will take years to re pair the hurt. If it is let alone it will impair the financial credit of the State as well. The Gen eral Assembly cannot too quick ly' make an end of it power to do evil. .South Carolina, although a State with one of the smallest appropriations devoted to this purpose, will have at the James town exposition, which opens in May, one of the best State ex hibits there. Only' $20,00 has been appropriated by the Legis lature for the South Carolina exhibit, but because of the uni queness of some of the exhibits f om this State, the space secur ed will attract all who visit the great show. The legislator opposed to the dispensary and in favor of county option plan, as between prohibi tion and county dispensaries, will find in the Carey-Cothran bill a strong, honest measure, drawn with every safeguard that seems possible. If the counties, under that bill, declare for prohibition, effort is made to make that pro hibition effective. If, the verdict is for county dispensaries, the county and State are given all the protection that is possible. County optionists who oppose that bill must be prepared to offer a better solution. They can not silently bar its way - The State. which years, Vanderbilt Gels the Negro Cabin. As the result of negotiations have extended over twelve George \V. Vanderbilt Saturday pur chased from Charles C. Collins (color ed) six acres of land and a log cabi i, which some years ago achieved fame as • the cabin the Vanderbilt couldn’t, buy." The purchase price was $2,000. The story of the cabin, and the ef fort!' of the master of Biltmore to pur chase it and the few- acres of land sur rounding is an interesting one. The cabin is situated in oose i roximity to the famous Biltmore house and was the only p cce of land for a radius of several miles, surrounding the mag nificent chateau over whioli Mr. Van derbilt could not claim ownership. Why the negro always stubbornly re fused to sell is a mystery, but it is probabls that he was ill-advised, or else dreamed that he w r ould eventually secure a fabulous sum for his holding. It is known that at one t me Mr Van derbilt offered $8,5000 cash for the place but Collins demanded $10,000, which the millionaire refused to pay. The land which Mr Vanderbilt b ught, was purchased by Colins many years ago for the sum of $200. On it he built the now famous cabin. When Mr. Vanderbilt decided to build Biit- more house he made extensive pur chases of land, but n sone way the negro’s insignificant little tract of six acres was overlooked. When engi neers landeners laid out the beautiful approa lithe mansion from Bilimore vi lage, adistanee forsome three miles, the road was surveyed through Collins’ land. Collins was then offered $tf.500 cash for his six acres but declined to sell for less than $10000 This was considered ex rbitaut, and the. niad was changt d so as to run clear of the negro’s hind. Since then it is under- sto< d that several efforts have been made to bring about a sale, but with out success Some little time ago Col lins removed to Pittsburg. Pa., where he still resides, and decided to sell his Biltmore property. He offered the land to Mr. Vanderbilt for $8,000, but tin* iriiti-millinnaire had apparently lost some of his former enthusiasm to become the owner of the place, and de clined to buy at that figure, but offer ed the very handsome, price of $5,000 This Collins refused. Later i.egota- tions were reopened by Collins, and Saturday Mr. Vanderbilt became the owner of the coveted land for the sum of $2,000. by striking out alone. They, of course, want straignt prohibition, but to defeat the local option—that now seems to be gaining much ground—they must side wi h the dispensary advocates in an ef fort to split the vo*e. Probably less than twenty-five per cent, of the legis lative membership is for straight p ohi- bition So far no caucuses of the pro- pie have been held. A measure has been proposed on the line of prohibition to the effect that druggists may sell whiskey under re strictions as follows: No whiskey sold unless purchaser pres nts a physician’s certificate stat ing d sease that requires the stimulani. Also, such prescription, or order, must be kept on file and where the public may see it. That no less than one-half pint be sold. That no drinking be done on the premises where the whiskey is sold. That no sales be made except in day light hours. The house committee came near kill ing the new c unty The bill has now been retained on the legislative calen dar, and will be debated on later. It concerns the creation f new counties in S 'Uth Carolina, mainly among the pro) used Heyward county. Among Read Every Word Re-Assessment of I’ersonal Property Receipt. Owing to the fact that all the town ships are divided into school districts several school districts sulnlivided into districts, and all districts numbered becomes necessary for each taxpayer to give the number and name *'f his district as well as the township in which his properly is located, when he makes his return. DON’T FORGET THIS The law requires you to value your property at its true value and swear to it. It is less work for me to take you return than to add the 50 per cent, penalty. Taxes are high enough with out paying penalty, so make you re turn. Imake every effort to get your re urns, *nd if you incur the 50 per cent, penalty by non-return it will pe your fault and you must abide the nseq uences. hA11 returns must be sworn to that I the valuation is the true value if not I tqey will be subject to 50 per cent : penalty. This is the law as lately con strued by the Attorney General and is I according to instrm lions received at j this office from the Comptroller Gen- i eral. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Aiken County Auditor’s Office Aiken, S. C , Dec 1, 1906 Notice is hereby given that pursu ant to an Act of the General Assem bly, approved Dec. 24th, 1894,“An Aci t • Change the Time for Listing Property for Taxation," the books will be open for the purpose of receiving tax returns for the fis al year com mencing January 1st 1906. from Jan uary 1st. 1906, to February 20th, 1906. The law requires all persons owning real estate or personal property or in any wise having control of such proper ty, either as agent, husband, guardian, father, trustee, execi tor. administra tor, etc., to return the same to the Auditor of the County in which such property is situated under oath ; and within the time vrescribed by law Sec 279 requires the Auditor to add 50 per cent, to the property valuations of all persons who do not make returns within the time i rescribed by law.

TOOLE, Attorney at Law, ^jlROFT’S Block. Room No. 6 Mr. James U. Jackson, of North Augus ta, who protested that the bill was un constitutional There now seems a good chance that the bill will be killed This prooosed measure also effects the proposed county of Dillon. Wh 'ii Mr. Rucker’s bill fixing the appropriation lor oensions at $250,CJ0 at the least • ame up in the house yes terday Mr. Sellers moved that the vote sending it to third reading be recon sidered. Mr Rucker in defense of his bill said the State should give much more, but at present could not afford it. It is at least due the veterans that the State of South Carolina not quib ble over an increase of $50,000. Mr. Gyles also defended the increase. Mr. Sharpe said he wanted to sound a note of warning. The "appropria tion spirit" was running wild. The future legislatures could decide whether or not $250,000 was a minimun and he agreed with Mr Sellers. Mr. Sellers said he wanted to reduce taxes this year. The people in his sec tion of the State were not very prospe rous this year. There was a prosposi- tion now being discussed for a fund for annual appropriation for reunions. This should come out of the $250 000. He was willing to be as generous as anyone to the old soldiers, but he thought we should make haste slowly. Mr. Cosgrovo favored the apt ropria- tion. He spoke for the old soldiers and said the minimum amount of $250,000 was small enougii. An aye and nay vote was demanded and on the motion to recommit the bill the vote was: Ayes 45, nays 63. So the bill passed third reading and was ordered sent to the senate. The compulsory education bill has bright prospects for becoming a law at this session of the general assembly. Two bills were introduced in the house, one by Mr. Kershaw' of Florence, the other by Mr. Aull of Newberry. The house committee has made a favorable report by substitute, offering a new' bill embracing parts of the other two. SURE TO CURE INDIGESTION.

J. Oliver, the great Contractor Mr. William J. Oliver, the man who has been awarded the contract to build the Panama canal, is well known in Aiken and thoughout the entire State and country. In fact Mr. Oliver •-laims to have adopted South Carolina as his own Stat**. He was borr in In dian.*., but in early youth came to the South, where has ever since been his home. Being brought up in a railroad camp, he learned the minor as well as the more important details in railroad building, which training has well served him in his career to reach the top. “Mr. Oliver is w'ell equal to the task of constructing the canal, both in ability and equipment,” said one who knows him personally and has come in contact with him a great deal in construction work, to a representative of ihe State yesterday. “He owns the most improved machinery and devices necessary for the carrj ing on of such a work and has the men under him who know how to handle his equip ment and carry out his orders. His steam shovels are built on the latest, type and some of them have a capacity of removing two and a half cubic yards of dirt with with ease. He owms any number of locomotives and other ma chinery used in such work and uses the most improved appliances throughout. He owns one of the finest machine shops in the .'$mith. “He is a man w’ho knows no such thing as fail, as I have - oiten heard him s y, and ’result-’is his watchword. He is a man of wonderful energy and discretion and goes mu h into details in all his supervision of work. He is a matchless judge of human nature, and can control more negro labor than any man I have ever known, and with his superb mechanical equipment, his well trained crews and the eudow- ment which he himself possesses in energy and ability, he is the most competent man in the county to con struct the Panama canal.” Probably no man in his profession or in any other line of business has eve*- accomplished what this great builde?* of railway and dams has. From a statu with not over $25,000 ten years ago, now commands an unlimited cretUa, his wealth being estimated at not Y»*s than $3,000,000, and every cent of it was earned by honest methods, for as said yesterday by one who knows him well, “he is a man true and faithful Yo his friends and would’t rob a ma&i of a cent." His bid has been accepted contingent upon his associating himself with one or more responsible contractors entire ly satisfactory to the government,. He says the syndicate he is fowning “will cettainly meet the approval of Presi dent Roosevelt and Secretary Tuft"’ Mr Oliver authorizes the Associat ed Press to say thatht hats already en tered into a partnership with Fred erick O. Stevens, president of the Commercial, National Bank of Wash ington who was recently appointed superintendent of public works of the state of New Y'ork. Messrs Oliver and Stevens have established permanent headquarters in the commercial na-j [ tional bank building in Washington ( I and on signature of the contract with 1 r. j the government Mr. Oliver will assume charge of the work on the isthmus, while Mr. Stevens will direct the work from this end. That the fight on Mr. Olixer has not ended is made clear from telegrams received trom friends in Now Y'ork and Knoxville. He is informed that peti tions are being circulated in New York protesting against the government awarding the contract for digging the canal, while in Knoxville he says an effort is being made to connect him with peonage cases. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE W. qUITMAN DAVIS ROBT.
