The Comptroller is after the county auditors to have the tax payers to return their property at its true value, and how he hopes to accomplish this needed - - rinm wP are at a loss to know. It just cannot be done by the au ditors. The makers of returns are not going to put their prop erty down at full value, and take the chances of paying a greater proportion of taxes than some who have better lands. The Comptroller General says in his circularthat "in the reassessment of property commencing January 1st, 1910, County Auditors must require of all taxpayers an item ized return of all property sub ject to taxation "at its true value in money, "which is construed to mean" the'sum for which said property under ordinary circum stances would sell for cash. " Just r how the Auditor is to require the returns to be made as the Comp troller General wishes, is not clear. Mo. the truth is, thas four years ago there was much confu sion in the making of the returns, on account of a similar require ment; the small taxpayer made bis return at an increased value, but the large taxpayer did not, he continued to shift the burden on the -little fellow, some few large property owners did increase their assessment but when the county equalization board got hold of it the return was lowered to conform with the values set for themselves, with the result, that many small taxpayers were ass essed out of proportion, and of course were overtaxed. -We do not think the Comp troler should impose impossible burdens on the auditors, but he should go to the legislature and ask thatitprovideeffective means to equalize the taxes of the State. this cannot be done by leavmng the assessment to the property -?owner but there must be provid e darassessor, whose bsns it should be t3'go-npoirthe prop erty and make the return at~Tt county. and for every railroad and factory, then the chances are that every one will pay a fair1 Jproportion to the State, but as things are now, the tax-dodg ersaare in the saddle, and wil con tinue to be as long as we retain a system that permits property tobe assessed at less than one fifth of its value, and not only so, -as long as-the law allows big tax jpayers to go to the legislature to get back a part ot the taxes they did pay. Our observation is that thereismoretaxdodgingin South! Carolin~a than in any other State we know of, and less effort made to stop it. The fact that assess-' ments 'are so fearfully unpropor-' tioned, almost forces, otherwise -good men, who ordiarily want I oput their property on the books at a fair value to resort to dodg -ing as a matter of self defense, and save himself from being im posed upon by the big taxpayers. AK1IGTT FAII. Charles W. Morse, the con 25iiGmost patklenC case, ana e our'judgment one that is deserv ing of sympathy rather than ceonsure. Morse is a great finan cer, the panic of recent date -caught him in bad financial con-1 -dition ana then came the clamorl that somebody should be pun-I ished, it fellto the lot of the 'ice king" to be made a victim, he~ was tried and convicted, sent to: the tombs- awaiting appeal, and[ while there every effort possible1 - . was madeto havte tee court's de cent. His associates ini business' have never lost confidcnce in the man, nor in his judgment, fori -the very day that the court sus -tained the verdict he was chosen by them to be the head of a large financial institution. He is flow4 done for, unless a pardon is granted by the President, and we sincerely hope that the law will show mercy in case, because we cannot look upon Morse in the light of one who was at tempting to swindle, or steal. he got heavily involved. a panic came on before he could muak-e good, and he was caught.

Digestion is seldom improved by the taking of medicines. dechares an old family physician. "We all know plenty of old bodies of both sexes who have taken inedlcine-enough to goat a battleship-taken it.as a sort of pious duty." he says. '-t these old bodies bang on to life )lte of their dosing. not through -t. -'A large glass of water taken in the morning directly after rising and cleaning the teeth are worth all the I aperient mixtures in the world. The -juice of one or two oranges, taken as long before breakfast as possible. is excellent for clening out the di gestive tract and giving the appetite a dilip. It is well to follow the morn ing tub with ten minutes or so of ex ercises which will stimulate the stom. ach and liver. Stand upright, with the hands above the bead. then bend down, keeping the knees straight. un til the tips of the fingers touch the floor. Repeat this eight times, then put the hands on the hips and bend from side to side. This massages the liver and stimulates the digestion. For breakfast eat porridge and brown bread and some fruit. Prunes are the best if there is a tendency to cosisti pation. A glass of water taken just before going to bed Is excellent for flushing out the stomach and keeping the digestion in order."-New York Tribune. NAPHTHA. The Natural Products arni Those Ob tained From Petroleum. Naphtha is an inflnmmable lIquid which exudes from the soil in certain parts of Persia. Subsequently the use of the term spread to Include some volatile oils found in Europe and even America. The product of the oil fields of southern Enusi is usually called nayhtha, although it differs in no way from the ordinary grades of petroleum Naphtha properly includes the light er oils whchpsofffirst inthe dis tillation of petroleum. the gravities ranging from 90 to 62 degrees Beaume. Pennsylvania crude oil contains from 8 to 20 per cent of naphtha. In the refining of such naphtha several prod nts are obtained by fractional distilla tion. Those whIch pass of first namely, rhigolene and cymogene-are gases at ordinary temperatures and are seldom saved. The next product Is known as gasoline, a material large Ily used in machines and for illuminat ing purposes. After this come stove naphtha and gas naphtha, the latter being the base of much of the Illumi nating gas now made. Petroleum naphtha Is often treated with chemicals to deodorize It.

A mellow old lawyer who used to live on the banks of the Androscoggin was famous for his fine distinctions. But often after the shades of night had fallen the squire might have been seen struggling bomne so boozy that hie apparently could not split a shirngle. Ito say nothing of a haIr. One aight when he was drunker than usual he staggered completely out of his course and could not find it. Rlealizing that he was lost and drifting into unfamiliar regions. he called at a house to ask fcr information. ~-Madam." he gravely said to the lady who camne to the door. candle in hand. "can you tell (hic) mec where Squire Blank lives?" "Certainly," si'.. said and gave him full directions. But as she talked and looked and as her candle gradually brought eur the features of the man before her a puzzled expression came Into her face, and she finally said, "But Iisn't this Squire Blank?" "Madam," replied the old lawyer, as suming a judicial air, "that is entirely (hic) immaterial. STATE OF SO UTH CARO UNA, only of Clarendon. B: James M. Windlhamu, Esq.. .Tludge of Probate.
