COMING IN DROVES.
i
i
Troubles come in groups, they say.
It seems to us that they have been
coming in droves recently, and we'
have not gone down the road looking!
for them. j
On Tuesday morning our motor to'
the linotype machine burned out and,
the wheels refused to go round.
Mr. Jno. C. Goggans, Jr., our phy-!
sician for all such ailments, imme-l
diately took the case in hand and has
sent the motor off to be rewound, we j
believe it is, and he hopes to get itj
back in a few days.
In the meantime we will have to doj

"if tbe people are dissatisfied wlihj,
the tax levy, they can get relief only;,
through the legislature.?The State, j.
Then The State spoke the truth. All;,
the talk of the candidates for gover-(
nor and on down will not amount to ,
much so far as taxation is concerned,:.
except that the governor should 1
have some influence with the legisla- .
ture, and then he has the veto pow- j (
er, but if the people want relief, and
relief can be had, they should be care-!
ful in the selection of the men theyj
send to the legislature, because it is :
the legislature that makes the appro- j.
priations and places the levy and!
creates new offices or repeals laws i'
creating these offices, and not the gov- i
eriior. The governor has no power to
reduce taxes or to abolish useless offices,
but that power rests with the
legislature.
The fact is the office of legislator
is one of the most important in the
State. -As a rule the people are not
careful enough in the selection of the
lawmakers, ItmT we mean by this that
there are a great many good men who
are not fitted by experience and the
information as tu the tax laws and4
other knowledge of government, tomake
the best legislators, and not b6 j

good men, and it is no reflection upon;
them to say this. * !
i
If it is true that Senator Tillman is;
not impaired in health either mental-,
*y or physically we agree with the Co-i
lumbia Record that "It has been about
the most contemptible assault ever1
made in the annals of our politics.";
We do not know of our own knowledge
anything as to his condition, and we
have not said anything about it. We
have heard that some citizens of
^ r? rr Mi? T
l\t? W uei IV wuu WC1C Ulgiug Ml.
to run had said that Mr. Tillman was
both physically and mentally unfit.
We do not say so, because we have
not seen the senator in some time.
We would judge from his reply to
Gov. Manning, which was the cause
of the withdrawal of Mr. Lever, that
his mental condition is still unimpaired.
That was a pretty racy letter and
he sure smoked 'em out and then they:
went in again. If his health of mind
hnr?v is: pnnrJ it is verv lOW DOlitlCS
to be attacking it. Candidate Dial has 1
more to say about his mental condi-!,
tion and his physical condition than;
any of the candidates, that is that was
true the day we heard them speak.1
Mr. Rice said something about it but
very little. Mr. Blease did not refer
to it as we recall, but did say that he
would challenge him to debate and
that if he came he would say some
things that had not yet been said, and
that if he failed to appear he would
say them any way. Senator Tillman
<r? a li^rtAr \t-Mrh hp is sPTiriire- out to
his friends speaks of Mr. Blease as
"My principal and most dangerous opponent."
Yv'e believe in dealing fairly
even in politics and giving every one
a sqaare deal. ;
Why make th^P&oys within ihe draft
work or fight and let so many above
the draft age loaf and idle? Get after
the idlers above 31. Any man in good
ahrnil.S ha Hnino- com At bin p

worth while even if he is seventy-;
five years old. None are too old to
produce something is our motto. Put
all the idlers to work regardless of
age, Gen. Crowder, and you will be
doing something. .
We notice that the farmers of Anderson
county held a meeting on Saturday
to protest against the great
raise in the assessment of real estate
as ordered by the State tax commis
sion. The auditor states that the
commission has ordered that real estate
be increased from $7.13 per acre
to $12.75 which is an increase of 79
per cent. Over $5.00 per acre with
the increase in the levy of 3 1-2 mills
is a pretty big jump. ,
The Herald and News stated when
the tax commission was first created
and when it went after the corporations
that the ultimate purpose of the
creation of the commission was to
reach real estate and then the man
with visible property would find out
what it all meant. Auditor Smith and
his board refused to make the increase,
having already made a substantial
increase over the assessment
of four years ago, and now the auditor
states that he is threatened with removal
from office by the authorities in
Columbia if he persists in his position.
There is no doubt there is need for
equalization in the assessments, but
an increase of 100 per cent, and that
with an increase of 50 per cent, in
the levy is pretty heavy. And to
n ? ~ 1 ^-0 4-V ~
un eaten luuuuvfti xiuiii umuc ut cue
Dlfi.cial refusing- to do what the authorities
in Columbia command is, :t
seems to us, rather autocratic. The
meeting uocided to fight the matter
to a finish in the courts.
We have not heard what was done
in this county, br.t we do not suppose
my such increase was made in the
assessment of real estate. It may be
that the commission takes the view
that real estate was too low in Anderson.
It would be all right to increase
the assessments if by so doing the
levy could go down also, but experience
shows that the reverse is true,
assessments eo no the lew also
?oes up. The legislature will generally
find some way to spend the money
so long as it is not necessary to increase
the levy, but it seems that in
recent legislatures they have not hesitated
to increase the levy as well as
the assessments. What the people
need is to be careful in the selection
of their members of the legislature,
because they are the ones who spend
the money and lay the levies.
We notice that Dr. Mahaffey takes
up the challenge thrown down by Mr.

! Please.at Yorkville to the authorities
j at Washington to discuss the whys
and wherefores of this country enter-;
i ing the war.
j That is not a live issue now. What
! we want at this time is the hearty.
: and wholesouled cooperation of all
j our people in a united effort to win j
I the war. No good can come of dis- j
! cussing why we are in it at this time. j
i We have made up our mind to leave j
any meeting at which any speaker,
undertakes to argue about the reasons
for or against this country entering
the war. There is too much to do
, that is worth while in helping to win
, the war to waste time listening to any
! windjammers talking about why we
are in it We are in it now to win it,!
and that i3 reason enough at this
time. We should be interested in!
helping our boys over there, if we
can't go.
