t . THE JOURNAL. JOHN KERSHAW, [Editor and Propriety*', CAMDEN S. C.. FEBRUARYit>, 1873. More Tnxes Still. From our knowlcilgc of our model Legislature, we deem it almost a certainty that it - II 1 . fVnn it.n TniArn.l1 VIM pass tt lit\t iiiuulivu i riki vuv niiki Revenue Laws of the United States, taxing legal papers and processes, brokers, billiard t ibles and tenpin alleys, hotels &c., merchandize (on sales.) banks, and in fact-every species of industry and* every department of business. Noncompliance with the law is made a misdemeanor, pun jsliabje by fifie and imprisonment.. Tliis represents a tax of not ley* than $1 .r>00,0()U?/wr annum and above all other taxes. There will be needed, according to the estimate now before the Legislature, submitted by ?Mr. N eagle, Comptroller General the sum of $2,4GS.000 for tlie.expenscs of the State Government for the, present fiscal year. Add to this the usual'oounty tpxes, SS23/J(J0, and we find; that in all probability, the tax-payers will be called upon to pay, during the ensuing twelve months, no less a sum than Jice millions of dollars (8.1,000,000) ! As a matter of courso, it is-simply, impossible to pay such a tax. Ixt wo man (if. all these tax bills arc passed) pay a cent of lax, let the land be said and bid in by the iStah\ and there w ill be an end of the matter There is m> virtue in our paying tribute ton Government 1 which is the spawn of Corruption, the ombodi- j ment of robbery, the willing instrument of Oppression We have been cheated and rob bed of our money until it is folly to submit to it airy longer. uAfiflion$ fur </</ ni<* but irot our rent for tribute." The taxes which they propose to raise amount to confiscation, '-uppo.se our suggestion b? adopted. Each year the State sells and buys in uiore and more of the land, until after a time it (the State) would own every inch of her soil. SHppose, however. . , that the State sells the' land-thus purchased, it will not alter the case, for the taxes continue to accrue, and the purchaser will gain nothiug. Hut, in the interval which must elapse between the purchase and sale, where will the State get the mon.y necessary to carry on the government? Jfot by bonds, (the only available means.) because under the circumstances, no one would buy them. If a private individual purchases, ho docs not get titles for two years, and cnuii <t take possession until tl a.' time, and it is not , probable that with the opportunity given to , the origiual owner to redeem, any man would make the investment in lands whereon he | would be compelled to pay tuxes and yet not , ho remunerating him for two years; by which time as we have demonstrated, the govern- , nienfc would have run down. A man could not by any possibility make money with such taxes to pay, because it must ba remembered, that out of seven hundred thousand inhabitants in the State, about two hundred thousand, perhaps not so many, pay taxes, and out of this number | about tiornty-ficc tftousam? pay eight-tenths of the wliule amount. If this be true, even if a person should endeavor to speculate upon j the misfortunes of his neighbor, the greater the speculation, the greater the tax, and consequently nothing could he made.? So, if the government should resort to some compulsory method of levying the taxes, it eould be thwarted by our con- j lining ourselves to making a bare rfippurt, I siucc there would bo no way of taking that ! from us, undi it has boon shown that no one j could become rich under such onerous taxation. Desperate diseases require desperate remedies, and it is time that wo were awake Jijid realizing the extremity of our distress. We j are voir in a desperate condition, and the ' further we go, the more desperate dues our i situation become. We should meet the re { . c 1 . I I (jwireiuonis ui our sicuuii-in, ?miu miu.iiii io afty sacrifice in order that we way defeat ' tjiose wlio seek to plunge us into poverty and i strip us of our birthrights. This is not a(,t tiuie for idleness, it is esse lit iaiiy A tjuic for ^ action. Those fair fields which are now being pre- i pared to receive the seed which produces ? the gladsome harvest had better be left uu- j4 tilled, than cultivated fur the benefit of the !' plunderer. With taxes trebled, after labor is ! paid and the family fed, where is the profit ? j t If now, it is hard to make both ends meet, j? /(o/c will it be wbcti taxes are three times a- 1 | great? | 1 I The State Government finds it necessary ] 1 to resort to extreme measures, at this time. | < to meet its expenses, and these last acts arc 1 the indications of its necessity. We arc the ] people. From us, our labor, comes the i ] wherewithal to keep tlio machinery moving, i hot us also resort to extromo measures and 1 I 1 withhold our own from thieves. ])o this, and the game is ended, and in oijr favor.? Do this not and concession on our part will ( but serve to encourage the vampires to take another firmer hold upon our vitals. < Kiir>nos:f? Mint in f'fitisnriiifnfo nf* oilr :i(liinf . - "v ** ? ? - ?f jug this course, a mijitajy government is es- < tablishcd, will it not be infinitely preferable j to tlie present government? T5y the manner ( yi which the Legislature has acted, it has as ( lLkuch as declared its incompetency, extrava- ] ganceand inability to manage its affairs. The ] whites are hopelessly in the minority. Of ' two evils, choose the lesser. Military gov- ^ crnment is, in our op'mio.Q, the lesser, there- J /ore, let us have that. V " : -* ' The only other alternative is for us all to go over to the dominant party and seek to control it. This, however, is a very doubtful question, i. e , our ability to control it, fpr, if wo go over, the truly loyal will know our intention, and we will by a strange anomaly, be known to them as "black sbeep" of their fold, and, in all probability, the cold | shoulder would be turned upon us. Besides, we all have very decided objections upon others than mqwe time-serving.grounds, and very few of those wlvom we have been accustomed' to look up to and venerate, would sacrifice priucip'e to policy. In all this,. i P ?1.1_ ?... However, we do not advocate lorciuie ur uu-1 lawful opposition to the powers that be. We arc-tia advocates for rebellion, in any slyipe or form, but we do advocate a peaceful rc-i sort to the only practicable defence, as far as we can see, to existing prosecution ouch persecution. And in all that we do, let us n<xt forgefc truth, nor honor, nor honesty, but let us remember the uhimntc result of all these times of error, dishonor and roguery. 'Truth crnsh'd to earth, will rim agaia; The eternal years of God arc hers, While Error wounded, writhes in vain, And dies amid its worshippers." Tlie New Tax Ordinauce, ]>y reference to our advertising columns itwill be seen that the-Ordinance passed by the Town Council of Camden is framed in accordance with the scheme of taxation now .if force.in this State. The rate < f assessment. is somewhat reduced, and the burden of taxation is equally distributed. Wo regard tliis method as the best in many respects which could be adopted, and as more in accordance with the proper manner of Jo* vying taxes than the old system was. Formerly the burden rested heavily upon a few ; now it is equally and evenly distributed .........r ..II The 1) 'o!:s will. be oj>oncd for tlic reception of returns ami taxes from this date until March lii), when all who have not paid j will be proceeded against by execution. We hope, however, that there will be no delinquents, but that all may cotuc up promptly and do their duty. (Coinmuuicatcri.) KtocMioldcrand J lie fnnnlon Ilrmicli ?Truth Stranger than I'tcllo EJitor CmnJrii Journal?Permit me the use of a small portion of your columns, for the purpose ofcnrrccting certain statements made by your correspondent, styling himself " Stockholder." Such statements coming from such a source, may bo naturally expected to affect tlic public mind to a considerable degree; and to impress the travelling public with grave apprehensions, when so unfortunate ?s to be compelled by business or other engagements, to risk life and limb upon (but unhappy little railway, known as the Camden Branch of the .South Carolina Itailroad. Vour correspondent, who begins his epistle ivith a hint of certain inquiries to be made, j soon launches his pen from that cafe-ground 1 uid takew himself, with a perfectly rccklc s : indiffcrenco to, and [diregard of /act, to | series of assertions, few if any of which can ! l>c substantiated. 1 beg your indulgence.' ' vliiic I draw your attciition to a few of them vhich. iu?y be considered most worthy of noicc. "The train does not leave Camden, J uitit an Hour ih-ii111fi scneciiijo nine. The want of any suggestion. pvcn of proof or this alarming error of statement, is sufficient) of itself to allow us to pass over it vitliout 1" rtlier comment^ (|npi t? say that lie officers of the road deny positively that iucIi has been the pasp, oi\ jog to the transporatiou of f?eight, or 'o any other cause wijat(ver Now, i|S to Stockholder's speculations I lpoii the propriety of running a daily freight j rain. I reply, that the experiment now pro-1 insed by iiini, has been sufficiently trieij to I lonvince any one, who shoi|!jJ have (aken I he pains to explore tlig subject, that, one J rain daily afforded qiuplc facilities for the ransportatiop of all freight of all des'*i ip-jt ious, without delay to this market, and n? I eruiediatc stations on the Camden Jir;?fl-h- ' Jnwever. it is not very reasonable to sup ! ^ ?>sp that the yuicp of the gentleman, who a, o liberal of his strictures upon the manage-J nent of this road, has made itself heard in j he rciynt convention of the Hp nth Carolina , .'aiiroad Stockholders, at Charleston; and j j nay not the public congratulate themselves ipoii having such a bold uiieompromisng advocate for their rights and privileges'! { \ud now 1 l?cg leave to Mate, that the Camleu Daily Passenger Train lias, iji the spirit i ' if accommodation, been unusually stopped i | it the crossing oft he \V. U.$ A. jt.ll. joy the impose 01 pcrimtiiug passengers nooning 10 ravel upon the latter, to transfer tlieuisejycs I iikI their baggage to the trail)* of that road, ! hough without any special order, a3 I am j ulbrmcd, to do so. Concerning the tariff argument "Stock- \ bolder" is again wide of* the facts, as it can easijy be proven that neither the local nor through rates upon the Csjmidon Branch, or my oilier portion of the S. C. 11. 11. arc double, or anything jikxj doufclp what they ^.crc before the war; ami moreover, tlie present rates upon all classes of merchandise will compare favorably with those of any other rail road in the State of South Carolina, not excepting the W. C. & A. 11. 11., nor the Waterce River Steamboat Company, so delicately alluded to by )q:u* correspondent.? And bcr.c it recurs tome that perhaps the gentleman is really a .stockholder, not of the ii.s'guificuvjb Camden Branch, but of the \\. C. & A. Jt. 11., und the Waterco liiver Steamboat Oompnny ! Is not this a reasonable conclusion to draw from the gentleman's )wn delicate allusions'/ Passing over the less important asscvcraions of "Stockholder," wo come to the remarkable statement, that "heavy trains behind time arc run with speed oyer the most msafe port ions of the road, and it is only by the mercy of Providence that awful accilents do not fwjuontly occur." We take | :he liberty of inferring that "Stockholder" s a mechanic, thoroughly informed on the subject referred to Otherwise would he be so utterly devoid of modesty as.to pronounce unsafe a work regularly kept up by organized gangs of laborers under tho supervision of a skilled. mechgp.ic,. whose position, I have meaus of knowing, i* owing to his proficiency in this very particular branch ot art, and w hose position, would bo forfeted, jmmedi" ateiy, upon a suspicion of his having under his charge a road upon which the lives and physical welfare of travelers were 'in inimi' neat peril, as unhesitatingly stated by- this gentleman, who pretends to take so great a public interest in the Camden Branch; and should the gentleman's views bo correct in regard to the special intervention of" Proviw)en;?e ii> favor of travelers on the read just named, may wo not congratulate -ourselves ujioji the fact ? Especially when wo hear occasionally?almost weekly?such reuinrks of the operatives as this: "Bad smash-up today ou the Wilmington road, broken ruii, they s^*; only a few freight cars on tho through train smashed; nobody killed I* And again: "Steamboat got snagged, run on a sawyer I reckon. Has to have a sheet put fcito her boilw, too." And so on to the chJ of the chapter. Now unfortu inte travelers who are driven byjw unhappy lot to risk your precious l,ves on tho unsafe portions of the^Camdon .Branch, can you be toojgrateful Tjdjcn you feel that there is a hwiijjo'ProvMeijw patching over this little forty miles abroad, the records of which can boast so firt?C||ceiclf nts, whereby life has been lost or limb'broken; when other roads running through your own section, of country arc without any protection ngJi.st the ui,isA-.VCtitiycS depending on broken rails, slack cross-tics, piissplaccd switch gates, and other like accidents that end with coroner's inquests, and. weeping women and orphan children ? 1 think not! Ecarjng that I trespass too mttch upon your space, I will conclude with the suggestion to 'Stockholdci" and others fctutaining his vipws, that they may find -cgi-css from Cajndpn.by a route perhaps safer, more speedy, more agreeable in all respects than the Camden Branch?1 allude to the steamboat connecting with,the W. C. & A. 11. It. Let those who have tried. Inth speak, that the public may profit by tlu*ir experience. Particularly do I hope tU.it your correspondent, "StockIn 1 lor," wh) l:y? hit* just claims before the public in such modest terms, and in no "-captious spirit," may be benefited, though one thing he would do wed to remember that what ever his may have been, others may be wiser through a still sadder experience. And I wogld hope, Mr. Editor, that the public will give car to facts in this matter, not depending upon the statement of any, whether o;i thp high ground ot'j partial ownership or not, and the public may rest .assured that the facts in the uiattof $rc easy to obtain by any desiring thpai.
