We have been writing editor ials on the tax problem, and they have attracted the atten tion of the people generally: they have also put many writers to thinking of the serious condition our trusted public servants have the taxpayers in. We have con tended all along that the pro posed change as directed by the Comrtroller General can only put the honest taxpayers at a disadvantage, and the dishonest taxpayer, not only shirks his duty.as a citizen, but actually outs an additional burden upon the honest man who regards his oath and his loyalty to his coun try. There is not the slightest doubt in our mind, but that Gov ernor Heyward will see the ne cessity to call a special session of the legislature to prevent the honest man from being wronged. The expense of sudch a session will not be near as much as the amount stolen from the taxpay ers in the whiskey label trans action alone, and it will be a mere bagatelle to the enormous amount of money that will be needlessly forced from the pock ets of the people by this increas ed assessment of property with out first having provided for a sufficient lowering of the tax levv. The Columbia State of last Sunday contained a cartoon which fully describes the inequal ity of the situation, and by its courtesy we reproduce it. This cartoon is a convincer, it is in concrete form, an argument which must appeal to every reasoning mind, and which urges the peo pie to stop putting into office incompetent men, and to scorn any attempt of a political dema gogue to 'arouse prejudice for office-riding purposes. This car toon is an appeal to every voter to exercise his ~fanchise in a sane and manlyeway, not for the gratification of a political monte bank. not to save men from the almshouse. and not to elevate 'jolly good fellows," but to have our government placed.. upon competent and honest, just and equitable business principles, so that every taxpayer shall be equal before the law. Our present condition is such, brought on by political manipu lati on,. that the rich escape their just proportion of taxation,throw ing the load upon the poor who must bear the burden, and the only way to escape this wretch ed condition, is to lay aside fool ish prejudices fanned into flame by a demagogue for his selfish purposes, and to stand up like men to put into power those of brain and patriotism. THREATS WON'T GO. Senator Tillman is not in a pleasant humor over the action of the South Carolina Legisla ture, and he has started out with a vigorous popping of his whip to frignten the Senators into voting to save his "baby" from interment. The Senator is strong with the people, there is no doubt, and especially the class of people who manipulate pri mary elections, but unless we mistake the signs of the times, his day for dictation is passed, and if he wants to return to the United States Senate he will do well to take his medicine like a man, and let the people have their own sweet will with State natters, Ben Tillman, nor any other earthly power can save that miserable debauchery-the State Dispensary. The people have learned that they have been fooled only too long. The promised reduction of taxation through the enormous income from the State (politicians) con trol of liquor, has not material ized, but on the contrary, tax es are actually higher than they were when the black thieves controlled the State, and Sena tor Tillman will find that when he again undertakes to stir up the people with one of his schrewdly devised schemes, he will learn that his "lu lu hand" will not work twice on the same1 people. He must come before the people with sonme other stock-in-trade than that of put - ting the blame of rebate-taking on whiskey, and labels, on the other fellow. He will be rec minded that away back in 1899, when he himself said in an in terview, '-the management of the dispensary was a stench in the nostrils of decent people,"' and, that when an attempt was made to take the dispensary out of politics, and to give the peo ple, the taxpayers, and not the politicians, the management of their own affairs, it was he who cracked his political whip over the heads of the sycophants and gave the scandal-breeding fac tory a longer lease of life. He will also be reminded that the charges of rottenness does not THE ] By Courtesy of " The State.' Governor's chair, but that it dates from the very first consignunent f whiskey to the State dispen sary, and. just as soon as the people learned that no credits for rebates appeared upon the books of the State Dispensary, there has a constant wonder what become of them. These things will loom up before the Senator the coming summer, when he undertakes to coerce the people to vote for his personal advantages, regardless of their own. In our opinion, Senator Tilman is playing with a fire which will destroy him. We do not know now who will oppose, him, but he is playing a game to invite opposition good, and strong, that he, nor can the class of politicians he will be able to muster withstand. $100 Reward, $100.

South Carolina does grandly in ap propriating two hundred thousand do] lars to be distributed among her sol diers that served their country, both it the armies of the Confederate State and of the State. The two hundred thousand dollars i! money known as a-pension fund and the law in regard to pensions, provides, the pensioners shall be classed by letter A. B. C. etc., and each pensioner draw the amount of money apportioned out by letter and their neediness generally, certain amounts of the pension appro priation. The applicant must as provided by law, establish the fact that he was a bonafide Confederate soldier, by two disinterested witnesses, who of their own knowledge, know that the appli. cant was a soldier, or is the widow of a soldier, who was in the military service of the Confederate States or of the State. This requirement of the pension law as to indentity, has been quite an easy matter with many, while -- many others, it is a hardship on' e old soldiers. During that four years of bloody car nage, these old now feeble and decrepit applicants, in full vigor of life and their young manhood, when the fray was on, had a place in the picture, and that picture a place close to the flash ing of the guns. Then the Confederate soldier was be lieved and confided in without require ing of him any iron clad test to prove that he was a Confederate soldier. Remember that forty years and more, has elapsed since the last gun 'lashed for the independence of the Donfederate States, and many, many -hanges has taken place since that his ;orical event. April 9th, 1865 after suff ring the itter pangs of hunger, the tortures of ntense cold the previous winter. rag Ted and barefooted, the remnant of th a ioblest army ever marshalled on this -ontinent succumbed. aud surrendered ,o a foe who outnumbered them five to )ne. and to a foe backed by a govern nent of unlitnited resources. Returning to devasted homes and sountry, and. entering the different )ursuits of life for a living, caused nany of the old soldiers to scatter and ire now living in all parts of the coun ry. All these disadvantages that operate Lgainst many old soldiers and widows f the same, should be'taken into con ;ideration.by the legislature and guide .egislators in making pension laws in oehalf of needy Confederate applicants. md the widow applicants of Confeda'te ;oldier, and that without so many strict -xactions and so much red-tapeism. .The pension law ought to be amended is to witnesses, so as to allow a pen sioner or pensioners to testify for an ipplicant if it should be necessary. A Confederate soldier, whether a ,ensionei or a non-pensioner should be tllowed to testify of his own knowledge rs to an applicant for a~ pension and to -ils being a Confederate veteran or the ,vidow of a Confederate veteran. We hardly reckon a Confederate >ensioner's testimony would be chal Gi A T lenged in an court in this land, and in any case before said court, on the grounds that the witness, testifying is a South Carolina Confederate veteiran. We cannot see any justice or even any sense in any law that would allow pensioners to testify for one another in all other cases, and then not allow them to testify in a matter of an appli cant for a pension. Surely it would be no interest to a pensioner, viewing the matter from a Iselfish standpoint, to witness for an applicant, for every pensioner is fully aware of the fact tnat additional pen sioners only lessens their pittance doled out by the State. The Confederate veterans though many are poor and needy are the rem nant of a band of gallant patriots, and not a gang of unprincipled villians and perjurers. Make the rugged pathway of life smooth as best you can for the old de crepit tottering veterans by treating them kindly and with compassion and trust him, and take his word and trust ed his strong arm and valor. for the four long and bitter years-. that; tried mens souls. The shadows of the old v-et'drans are 1growing longer, and their sun fast sinking towards *,he western horizon, and in a few more short years the last one will have answered to the last roll call on these mundane shores, and will have crossed over the river- and with comrades gone before, "rest under the shade of the trees." As a Confederate veteran we ever have, and ever will feel a keen interest in behalf of their interests, and will ever plead for justice and fair treat. ment at all times for them. Let every one "treat the confederate applicant pair" and by so doing, re member every Confederate veteran will be honored and grand old South Carolina will be honored and pleased as well. GEO. R.
