Au~i:sta Chronicle. Atlanta, Dec. IS.?By what appears | to ha .e been the merest, chance in ' ! the world, a n.-w kind of cotton has i been discovered and developed in | I \ I Georgia, in which the government has J interested itself. A couple of years ago a man by the j name of A. G. Spiller of Pike county, j farming near Barnes ville, received a j shipment of goods from Europe and | in the packing were several seeds i having much the apnearance of coti i ton seed. Out of curiosity he planted j them and from the first planting~^rew j what was a peculiar stalk of cotton. ( ' It was carefully cared for and cue seed j taken from the lint of that one Sx?uk were planted tne past season. Out of j the second planted other stalks were : grown and from them was gathered j about 25 pounds of Jint cotton. It is f of a very fine texture resembling close; ly wool, v The staple has been exhibited | to a number of people, among them agj ricultural experts, and 'has attracted j a great deal of attention. From a j number of courses where the cotton ! had been heard of, or by those who j nave seen it, Mr. Spiller was offered j a dollar each for the seed, but he de; clined to sell. ! i j The matter was brought to the at- j ; tentron of the agricultural department, ' in (Washington, and announcement is row made that experts are to be sent i : to Pil'e ccunty to make a survey of tire ' roil and an examination of the product and condi:ions under wmcn it wasproduced. In order , to make further experiments it :s said the federal derailment will, if it finds it n cessary, , to tr.n?e the origin of th seed, secure a lot of them and find out what can be , ''one with the new cotton in this sec- i i tion.

At the parade of the Indian army corps before-it left France the following message from their king and emperor was delivered to the men by the Prince of Wales: "i\:?re than a year ago I summoned you from Tmlia to fight for the safety of my empire and tte honor of my pledged word in battlefields of Belgium and France. The confidence which 3 then expressed in your sense of duty, your courage and your chivalry you since have nobly justified. "I now require your services in another fieM of action, but before you leave France I send my dear, gallant son, the Prince of Wales, who 'has shared with ray armies the dangers and hardships of the campaign, to thank you in my name 'or your services and to express to you my gratification. "British Indian comrades in arms, yours has' been a fellowship in toils, hardships, courage and endurance, often against great odds, in deeds nobly done, in days of ever memorable conflict. In the warfare waged under new conditions and in peculiarly trying circumstances you nave worthily upheld the honor of the empire and the great traditions of my army in India. , "i have followed your fortunes with the deepest interest and watched your gallant actions with pride, and satisfaction and I mourn with you the loss ol main* gallant offic: rs and men. Let t it*fee vour consolation, as their pride, that they freely gave iiieir lives in ^ just cause for rhe honor of my empire. Thc-y died gallant soldiers and I shail ever hold their sacrifice in grateful remembrance. "You leave France with just pride in honorable deeds already achieved and with my assured confidence that your proved valor and experiences will r.ot be further 'victories in the new fipiri nf action to which you go. "I pray God to bless and guard you nnd to bring you safely, when final victory is won. each to his own home, there to be welcomed with honor among his own people."

The State. The State tax commission created by an act of the last general assembly to equalize ihe tax system of South Carolina has completed its first annual report, which is being mailed out to the members of tiie general assembly. A letter from A. W. Jones, chairman of the commissioi^accompanying the report is in part as follows: "In handing you a copy of our first annual report, we would call your attention especially to the necessity for amending the constitution, so as to re move the restrictions on the general assembly with reference to the taxing power in order that the legislature ma:y be free to adopt from time to time such ?ystem as to it may seem best, and to our recommendations for the classification of property, for the purposes of taxation, instead of the present uniform system of taxation of property for all purposes. "It has been utterly impossible to enforce the general property tax with uniformity, equity or efficiency against the modern forms of wealth known is intangible property, and even as " 1 ?? ? - - ! co tangiDie property, me vaiuro ui which can 'be more definitely determined. The amendments to the constitution recommended by us would not n themselves effect a change in taxation, as the tax laws would have to be changed by the legislature. '1We do not wish to impose our judgment in these matters on the people. What we wish is that the bonds which prevent the legislature from substituting modern and equitable methods ** x M- ?.1*5^ V?/% o 10 -P/VMn.rl o/l _ 01 taxation WimJxL lias 'wccu ivuuu vantageous in other states or which in its wisdom may devise, for the unsatisfactory methods .'o which the present constitution binds us." Taxation of Mortgages. The commission also calls especial attention tc 'the recommendations as to taxation of mortgages and a survey of the state. "Such survey is an absolute necessity in order to place ail J Im.as on the tax books," says the coinj mission. | 7;:. i rpc rt ".?ys: that the commission ? [Id not i .As.:: serious difficulties j 'which inigiit Le thrown iu tli-e way' j :o blcck Lhe reforms in asse^-.ments ' . n til they attempted to gather informJ :icr. frcm the banking corporations to =lio a* the actual true value of the i banks and bank stocks." The inci# i dental effect of the plan of the comj mission, the report says, was to reduce j the amount of taxes to be paid by some : banks and increase the amount to be | paid by others. "The abolition of an arbitrary constitutional three-mill school tax, and the authorization of a flexible levy to meet the amount of appropriations bv the general assembly, for state, county j and school purposes, is essential to a satisfactory readjustment and reform of present taxing methods in this state, an<l to an equitable assessment and taxation of property for the purposes of meeting the annual appropriations, and the avoidance- of inequalities and unnecessary taxation, says uie cum lii'iisSiUU. Real Estate. The commission states that it had no right under the law to assess real estate. It can only review the assessments. The assessment of textile property bjy the commission shows an increase of $1,801,027 as compared with last year. The increase dn the value of railroad property for taxation is fixed by the- commission as $939,161. The fvalue for street railways, light, heat and power companies as assessed for taxation was $4,4S2,3S6 over the val! nation as fixed by the county boards j in 1914. The commission states that through ; investigations, in checking up the duplicates and statements prepared j by the county auditors with the pub< lished reports made by certain local j , corporations, other than banivs, it was J discovered that taxable property to ; the amount of $471,120, belonging to j su \\ corporations, had been, and was I escaping taxation. The commission recommends a strict enforcement of the state income tax la\V. The amount derived by the state from the income tax this year ! was $31,126.87, as compared with $15,; 303.31 in 1914. The commission says that the law is being laxly enforced in some counties. "The auditors refusing to enforce the law should be removed by the governor," says the re j port. An inheritance tax is urged by the ! commission. CoinT?il)fa Snryey. Concerning iptHs escaping taxation the renort savs* "With a r""" *o ("scovep'ng lands which arc escaping taxation, because not on the tax books, this commission n<j.d surveys made of five of the city blocks in ?Co'um'bia and found as to three of them that twc-thirds of the lands and one-hall* of the buildings in one black were not returned for taxation or taxed; in anotner block 23-40, or over a half of the land, and half of the buildings were escaping taxation. In the third black 23 frcnt feet, valued at $460,000, and a lot and small building valued to $600 escaped taxation. The value of the lots and buildings not returned on the first block was $>4,400. Tne value of the lots and '-/' dings no" returned on the second block was $3,600. These are the estimated taxable values in accordance vntii the resolution of the city assessors, and not the market va'ues. In .he original area of the city of Columbia there are 400 blocks. We publish one of these maps, made under our direction, to illustrate the character Df this work; see map in this report, exhibit 16, allowing tabulated matter. "Such property escaped taxation, because of deductions made grantors selling without charging up the lands against the grantees. Similar omissions of lands and buildings from the ta* hooks occur also in other towns, cities and country districts throughout the state. Through the -influence of this commission the city of Columbia has been induced to undertake a survey of the city, on accurate maps of each block showing who are in possession thereof, and those that are vacant, their size and taxable value as fixed by the' city board of assessors, and will-use this dafe in checking up the tax duplicates with reference to property in the city. Such a survey and maps should be obtained covering all lands in the state, arranged by towns, cities and school districts, on a scale sufficient to show the owner's name, acres of the plat, and persons transferrins- lanrls and other real property should be compelled to state fully the consideration for the transfer, the true value at the times when deeds of conveyance are made. "The comptroller general in his annual report to The general assembly / for 1912 recommended such a survey cf the lands in this state, in connection with the United States department of agriculture, which is now engaged in a soil survey cf the state, as will more fully appear in the comptroller general's report for 1912." 1 j , v Xews From St. * , to i'he Herald and* News. | : ..ci:o \vi : be a Christmas tree at' ' St. Philips cuurca teciurday, December' at 11 o'clock a. m.
