Dukes, Orangeburg.S. C. xHE PRIVILEGE TAX. > ,_ An Increase of Seven Thousand Dol lars Over Last Year. j The State says with the close of the first quarter, the receipts from the privilege tax amount to $99,097.15. The total amount received last yeai from January to December was $98; 9C9.80, and between the first of April and the last of December the amount received was over $S,000. With this: as a basis, it is thought that the re ceipts for this year will run up to $110,000! The privilege tax is the revenue paid to the State by the fertilizer com panies at the rate of 25 cents on each ton of fertilizer. The tax is supposed to cover the cost of inspecting the fertilizer but the actual cost cf inspec tion is much lcs> than the tax. For this sum the State, through the de partment of agriculture of Clemson college, issues tans to be placed on the bags of fertilizers and for this reason the tax is commonly known as the tag tax. When the State in 1890 adopted this system of taxtation to insure the farmers against being sold inferior stuff the income from this source was but 853,000. This ye?.r that amount will he doubled, so great has been the increase of intensified farming. There may not be as many acr? s under cultivation now as there we;e in 1890, but the farmers are trying to get out of each acre (the very best that is in the soil. The introduction of tobacco culture also required the use of additional fertilizers, and this year, it is almost needless to state, the upward spurt in sales is due to the 'circus performances of the,/ bulls and beats in the arena in Wall street, where cotton prices tumbled and again vaulted and again tumbled and Sully, the most daring of the trapeze artists j of the exchange, finally met his de feat. The following comparative figures | will be of unusual interest: The re ceipts to the first day of April this year are $99,097.15; for the same oeriod last year, $90,069; 1898, $59, 301.33; 1899, 854.509.50; 1900, $63, 937.60; 1901,. $76,950.68; 1902, $65, 140.55. The first of April is the end of the tax year, practically, until the lest two months of the fall when there are again heavy sales of fertilizers. The total receipts for the respective years since the tax has bren in force are as follows: 1890-91, 853.285.85; 1891-92, 836,108.98; 1892-93. $50,243.95; 1893 94, $43,423.88; 1894-95, $30,135.93; 1895-96, $54,524.37. At this time the fiscal year was so altered that the date of final settle ments come on the 31st of December instead of the 1st of November and since 1896 the receipts have been: 1897, 859,352.35; 1898, $65.494 33; 1899, 862,123.88; 1900, $75,214.34; 1901, $84,073.43; 1902, $81,744.94.

Recently in the House Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, briefly replied to the state ments of Mr. Gillett, of Massachu setts, on the ne^'ro question. He said Mr. Gillett had lectured the south for certain alleged outrages and violations of the law. He declared that Massa chusetts was uot free from the charge of the disregard of the law, even though that state may claim to be more relined than others. lie cited an instance where a mob in Marion, Mass., in 10?2, hud barred and feither ed a man aud woman, and he said, ihe perpetrators of the outrage had been acquitted and marched, through the streets as heroes. lie read from statistics of Massachusetts .showing the number of ''disgraceful" marriages of whites with negroes in the city of Boston. If these facts are true, Mr. Rartlett said, "Lite teachings of the genticmao from Massachusetts and those who believe as he docs, are coming like chickens, home to roost." He did not believe, he declared, that the people or Massachusetts enter tained nor re-echoed the sentiment of Mr. Gillelt. While the people of Massachusetts may have, peculiar no tions as Lo some ihiuj_'s and may le steru in their convictions, they at least have awakened to believe that the white peo{)le of the south are entitled to work out this problem in their own way, ''as God shall will it." He added those people would work it out,'' with the help of our brthren of the north, if we can have it, "but if not we will work it out without their help." To such as Mr. Gillett, continued Mr. Burlett, "we will say that your opin ion and criticism meet with the calm indifference of our contempt." Mr. Gillett replying, said lie believ ed that the Caucasian race, as a whole, is vasliy superior to the color ed race, but he said he did not believe it followed that every white man is superior to every colored man. He de clared that he denounced such inci dents as had been cited in Massachu setts as he iiad those occurring in the south. He asserted, however, that the frequency of such occurrences in the south stimulate similar occurrences ail over toe country. The subject was further discussed by Mr. Crumnacker. of Indiana, who said that in the last twenty-live years ii.oou citizens of the United States who were entitled to the protection of the iaw, had been seized by lawless mobs and put to death. lie believed that throughout the length and breadth of the United States the peo ple are a unit iu desiring to have the law enforced everywhere. Mob law he declared, is not sectional. "1 confess," he said, "that the re cord of the last twenty-live years will show that my own state has had its fuil share of these disgraceful exhibi tions of lack of control on the part of the people," all of which he said, illustrated the weakness of humar nature, which was about the same through the whole country.

A letter from Greenville to The State says the court of common pleas has open engaged for three days in hearing a most extraordinary case, in which the Southern railway is asked to pay $50,000 damages to Mrs. Susan L. Franklin of Newberry for an al leged insult to her hy a passenger while on a train between Greenville and Atlanta abjut a year ago. The I jury brought in a verdict Friday af ternoon for $25,000 in the plaintiff's favor. Mrs. Franklin is a comely woman, unusually self-possessed on the witness stand, with readiness and intelligence in giving testimony that is surprising and uncommon, and appreciating the j bearing of evidence upon the cassia I hand. Her testimony revealed the : fact that she was married when only ! sixteen years old, and has been the J moiher of tbreecbildren, one of whom 1 is dead. Her husband is a policeman in Newberry and her* occupation is dress making. Mrs. franklin gave a I connected account of the trip from j Newberry to Atlanta, stating that on reaching Greenville she and her little child went aboard the afternoon train fur Atlanta, and that there were only two other passengers in the car, both of whom were men. Sjon after the train left Greenville one of these men engaged her in conversation, taking a scat by her side, making indecent pro posals, putting his arm around her ] waist and using familiarities against I her protest, though she endured the i unpleasant treatment for a quarter of an hour or more. The men were drinking and behaving unseemly but only one of them made approaches to her. On the cross examination Mrs. Franklin said that the conductor was in the car the most of the time when the man was annoying and insulting her and made no effort to stop his un ruly behavior until she appealed to him for protection, when the conduc tor told the man ie must desist or he would put him of. the train. The man claimed that he was a detective, but the conductor said he must behave or else he could not ride any further on his train, which put a quietus to the men except that they continued to ORF A'Scientific Cure Absolutely Safe, S Will Cure Forcv Whiskey, B< ORRINE will Restore any Dn A Simple Home Treatment; C Cure Effected or Ask your druggist whom you know w our statements as truthful in every rcspec you every penny paid for it as cheerfully ; Mothers, wives and sisters, you cann? terrible of all diseases by your fervent pi hope that they may stop drinking.

On arriving at Atlanta she was taken ill and the cause was due to the fright occasion ed by the conduct of this unknown man, resulting in serious consequences owing to her delicate condition at the time. Conductor Roseborough, who was in charge of the train when alleged in dignities were heaped upon Mrs. Franklin, stated that he had observed the man on the seat with Mrs. Frank lin and holding her little daughter on his knee, and he was not aware that the woman was being annoyed by his presence as she made ho complaint j against him, and seemingly they were i engaged in an ordinary conversation. Mr. Roseborough assumed that they ) were at least acquaintances and it I was not his duty to interfere, but he 1 denied that he was in toe car for any Ilength of time and did not observe ! that Mrs. Franklin was at all annoyed ! until he went through the train again, j when as he entered the coach he saw j that site was in the act oi leaving the s (at. Immediately he approched and asked if she desired to change her I scat, when her reply was that the. ! man had been an annoyance to her, I which caused her to make the change. The conductor escorted Mrs. Franklin to the rear of the car and then went back for the child, who was taken to her mother, lie told tue man not to repeat his conduct and if he spoke to Mrs. Franklin again he would be put oil the train and left "in the. ditch." The man asserted that he had not done anything wrong, but was willing to make an apology if Mrs. Franklin was olfended and then went into an other coach. Mr. Rosenborough as sisted the mother and child off the ! train on reaching Atlanta and the in cident on the train was not mentioned i again. The testimony of other witnesses ! had little bearing upon the facts relat j ing to the allgcd insults, and much i time occupied in etforts to exclude im proper evidence from the case.

The Goose Creek Frlillce to Celebrate Two Hundredth Year, The announcement of the celebra tion of the two hundredth anniver sary of the establishment of St. James church at Goose Creek will be received with interest in Columbia. There is a picture of this edifice in the secretary of state's ollice which always attracts I considerable attention. St. James is the oldest of the colon ial churches now in a state of perrect preservation and unaltered in any de tail from its earliest appearance. Its venerable walls stand as a monument of a day that is past, beloved and revered by churchmen of the present and the church is a landmark of En glish civilization in this country. The celebration of the two hunredth an niversary of Its establishment will be a notable occasion and it is expected that a large number of people will gather within its ancient walls. The celebration will occur on April 17th and an appropriate program is now being prepared for the occasion. In the year 1902 the "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in For eign Parts," sent from England as the first missionary to the province of South Carolina the Rev. Samuel Thomas, who was appointed to the settlement at Goose Creek and enter ed upon his labors with great earnest ness. In 1704. in a letter to the so ciety, he mentions that there was a church erected on Goose Creek which was well attended. This is the first record of St. James, Goose Creek, so that the present year iS' accepted as the bicentennial of its establish- j ment and the vestry of the church have made preparationf for its obser vance. Naval Ollicer Kills Himself. Lieut. Commander Edar Townsend Warburton, chief engineer of the battleship Maine, now at Pensocala, Fla., suicided in his cabin on board that vessel Thursday. A bullet from a 38-calibre revolver was S2nt crash ing through the brain and death re sulted within 40 minutes afterwards. The executive ollicer of the ship was passing the door of Commander Warburton's cabin when he was startled by the report of a revolver within. The bullet after passing through the brain came through the door and struck the rail of the ship, barely missing the executive officer. The latter notified the officers and the door of the commander's cabin was forced open. He was lying on the ilnor in'a pool of blood and the revolver, dyed red, was grasped in his right hand. The surgeon of the ship was hastily summond and endeavored to stop the How of blood without result. The flagahip w.is signalled and the fleet surgeon responded bui the commander expired shortly aftei his arrival. The bullet entered jusi above the righttemnle and passed oin over the left ear. No cause is known for the officer committing the rash act. He appeared to be in the bestoi health and spirits and within a few weeks would have been assigned to shore liberty. Many of the officers expresed the belief that death was the result of an accident and that the commander did not suicide. Com mander Warburton had been chief engineer of the Maine. He was for merly on the Indiana. The body will be shipped to Philadelphia, where bis wife resides, Friday. Conl'essious of a Priest? Rev. Jno. S.
