Hydro-electric plants will be re-; quired to show that no coal, wood or gas is used in generation of their electricity and that no coal, wood or gas is used in any way outside the regular hours.

The committee added that easoline filling stations may be oper I ated until 8 p. m., and garages, witn * the necessary safety lights, at all J hours. Atlanta, Dec. 3.?The heads of all the hydro-electric plants in the South were called upon tonight by W. Rawson Collier, public utility . member of the regional coal commit"* 1 onrl fnrnisll 166} to IlltCl 111 AllQUia auu a proof that their plants are not us^ ing any coal in producing electricity. Mr. Collier asked that the hydroelectric men come to Atlanta as soon -as possible without setting a definite date, as it is not necessary that all be here at once. After the conference the coal committee will require -a a daily report from each plant showing that no coal is being used, as only those plants using no coal are allowed to. operate. j i i rrhnrlntte.

I CAPITAL NEWS (By John I Columbia, Nov. 30.?The Stale ' supreme court has finally dismissed I the Charleston election muddle, and "V7-.

Upon this committee the Grace faction had a majority of one vote.- This the' j court refused to do. Th3n the primary came on the latter part of the summer, and cn the face of the re ! turns Mayor Kyde was re-elected 1 aver Mi*. Grace.by a majority of one#! vote. There vas something less than a hundred challenged voles, however,! and upci^ consideration of these, the 1 committee declared Mr. Gi*ace the ; j nomT.ee by a small majority. Then i ; ihs Hyde faction came back to court, and upon a consideration of the petitions and the various matters [presented before it, the court, by a majority opinion of three to two, derlavsd the nrimary null and void, and ordered another nomination. I Thereupon the city Democratic I convention was called back into ses- J [sion, and amended the rules of the party so as to allow the executive committee to declare a Democratic nominee. The committee, following | this action of the convention, met on ( November 25, and declared Mr. Grace -the nominee. The Hyde faction came back to the court, and asked that this action of the committee be declared illegal, i under the former decision of the j court.,. The court refused the Hyde) petition, saying in its opinion, hand- j ed down on November 28: "The present litigation, first over( the election of an executive commit- j tee and then over the doings of that committee after the primary elec-1 tion, was begun at the spring term of this court and has lasted until this i hofar. "The statute law fixes the election | /\-f r\-i ntrr\y on r} 1 rlDrmDTl ff\f dVlflT- I clay of election, but the great public, j not concerned in the contentions of j the parties hreeto is to be preferred to personal ambition and strife; it calls for^the end of litigation and the composure of the public mind. .In our judgment, the petition ought to be dismissed, and it is. so ordered." -hs opinion was written by Associate Justice Gage, and concurred in by , Chief Justice Gary and Associate Justice Watts, Associate Justices Hydrick and Fraser dissented.

J Last year, though the armistice had been in effect a month and a half be- ' fore Christmas, the people had not sufficiently recovered from the shock ' and gloom of war to enter full-heartedly in the usual festivities. At that time there were many who had not yet learned definitely whether their ( sons and brothers and sweethearts had passed through safely: This year j it is different, and gay throngs are besieging the stores for Yuletime ; wares. 3 ] It would seem that a United States j < senator, with as good name as New- j' berry, would be a better man than j as he is pictured by the United States , frand jury at Grand Rapids, Michi- ; ffiin, which has indicted him for cor-! i rupwio;:, i-ici'.ici v,v-ia c V/i *. it v. \? in js i AND GOSSIP i ic L Aull.) . j r i' 11 p connection with his election as sena-1 * tor from Michigan, over Henry Ford, j P ! ti The fight for an inheritance tax in v this state, will probably be renewed n at the coming session of the general | a assembly, which meets on January 13. j b Several years ago the late Mr. George ! n R. Rembert, then a member of the j fc house from Richland county, fought j d for the passage cf an inheritance tax j a measure.,but his efforts failed. 1t Inheritance and income taxes, in j addition to property taxes, have j e been found to be efficient in equal- j i< izir.g the burden of taxation, and!v South Carolina is one of the very few j o States in the Union which has not an ' 3 inheritance tax at this time. There J o : re possibly only two other states j J without such a tax. ' j v Inheritance and income taxs, in o addition to property taxes, should a r.ot increase the general taxation, c however, because under a proper sys- \ tem they would go to reduce the JS property tax. Of course under a i wise system the man with a meagre c income would not be taxed, and an inheritance tax law would be based c on the same principle, and the larger [ , the income or the inheritance the a greater the tax. That is the* basis 3 upon which the government nas c worked out its plan of income tax. ^ The views of various members of the general assembly are somewhat t divergent upon the road question, but s the great majority of them seem tc s be in favor of some kind of good t roads legislation which will be at least p a starter in the direction of a state ^ system of permanent highways.

I The suit of the State for the. re- o covery of the Columbia canal is set g for trial at the term of court here in " December, but it is not known defi- c nitely wh2ther it will be tried at this V time. It will probably consume a considerable length of time, as there ii i3 a big amount of property involved, and a number of Acts of'the' legisla- S cure dealing with the matter.
