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. <

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.

?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 want of any suggestion. pvcn of proof
or this alarming error of statement, is sufficient)
of itself to allow us to pass over it

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. "Flat Justit
