PUBLISHING TAX RETURNS.
Considerable discussion is going on
among the newspapers of the State in
regard to the tax situation in South
Carolina. There is practical unanimity
as to the inequalities which exist
as to. the assessment of property and
seVertal remedies have been suggested.
Amnno +Via Mot TViq Galileo Storifliir/1 I
VMV 4VOW A AAV, MV4.4M\4U> v*,
commenting upon an article in the
Torlkviile Enquirer, believes that publication
in the county papers of the
, returns of property would be a
means for eradication of a great
'many inequalities. Undoubtedly so.
but Tlie Saluda Standard falls far oi
the mark when it says that the cost
of such publication to the county
would not exceed $75 or $100. If the
returns are to be published in full
And they would be of no value unless
.
#so published, they would occupy an
enormous space in any newspaper.
Just as a sample we inquired of our
county auditor the number of taxpayers
in Lexington county. Speak
.. .. .. Jng in round numbers there are about
twfelve thousand. It vrould require
at least an average of five lines to set
out the average return intelligently.
This would necessitate the use of 60,000
lines of printed matter or approximately
50 pages in The Dispatch-News,
if the matter were set
very compactly. At the commercial
i-ate charged by this paper this would
amount to something like $1,500.00
for this county, and the expense of
producing such a mamoth work
would make it worth really more than
that amount. There are very few
weekly papers in this state which
have mechanical facilities for producing
such a paper.
%
The Dispatch-News is inclined to
the opinion that the adoption of a
policy of "pitiless publicity"" in regard
to tax i^turns would be a big
step toward eradicating inequalities,
but no one should be misled as to the
cost, which would not be confined to
the advertising alone, as there would
be a great deal of clerical labor involved
in the preparation of such a
report, and undoubtedly every county
auditor would need more help.
If a sufficient rate were paid the
newspapers for such work it > would
^ be a fine thing for the newspapers?
and it might prove very beneficial to
v the counties. But, we have an idea
that no such law will be passed.
FULL POCKETS,"EMPTY"HEADS.
When Fatty Arbuckle was "discovered"
?or the movies he was cleaning
cuspidors in a saloon. At the time, of
ilia arrest on a. cnarge 01 muruering
Virginia Bappe he was a film star
with more money than he could spend.
But his. money went to his head,
and his head landed him in a murderer's
cell."
Whether. Arbuckle be guilty or innocent,
the fact of the revolting debauch
remains, and the debauch
brought on the death of a woman.
The time may come when a man
will achieve fortune without losing his
brains or his decency, as is too often
the case now.
But until that time does come public
opinion should compel a decent
and law abiding line of conduct, even
though the inclination is not there.
Full pockets are not to be condemned,
but full pockets and empty
heads are. a menace.

EDITOR OXNER MAKES CHANGE.
W. M. .Oxner, editor of the Leesville
Twin- County News, has changed
the p'ame of his paper to The Bares-.
burg-Leesville News, and is now ;sBUing
an eight page all home print
paper. The first issue received at
this ofice shows up well, and looks
much better than before. , It is understood
that Mr. Oxner will build
mia-way between Leesville and IV:
burg at an early date and serv<?
towns alike. Congratulati'ms

THERE IS A BETTER WAY.
The Newberry Observer, in a very
sensible article, aptly remarks that
our circuit judges are becoming
somewhat given to orating from the
bench. No doubt they mean well,
but as a practical proposition juries,
according to their lights, appear to
be doing pretty well in South Carolina
J the^e days, and if all of the court
machinery shall keep pace with our
juries it will not be long before there
will be greater respect for law in the
State.
Recently at Walterboro Judge
Prince delivered from the bench a
speech denouncing the officers of the
law for dodging around with Fox, |
Gappins and Kirby instead of boldly
bringing the men to the penitentiary.
It is practically certain that had
Sheriff Roof attempted to have
brought these villians from Augusta
when he first went there for them
there would have been a lynching, or
many persons would have been
killed. The. sheriff was warned by
Solicitor Callison that a mob was
waiting between this place and
Augusta for the purpose of wrecking
$
vengeance upon these men. In this
case discretion wras the better part of
valor. It would have been an easy
matter to have caused the death of
perhaps many people by making the
attempt to bring the prisoners to Lexington.
Such a course could not
have been justified when it was pos
sible to protect the prisoners and at
the same time preserve perhaps many
lives or prevent a very serious disorder.
The idea that law enforcement officers
must make themselves appear
so terrible that every man should
tremble before them is not in anywise
compatible with our ideas of
freedom?and by freedom we do not
mean freedom to execute the law by
any but the constituted authorities.
We need to be taught respect for law,
but there are better ways of inculcating
it in a-free people than shooting
it into them.
IMPORTANT TO DISINFECT
POTATO STORING HOUSE.
Columbia, Oct. 24.?If the managers
of the sweet potato curing
houses in South Carolina will heed
the advice given by the South Carolina
Development Board to disinfect
the storage houses before filling them
with the new crop, the losses from
the socalled storage rots will be great
ly reduced if not entirely eliminated.
From present indications the sweet
potato crop in South Carolina that
will be cured this year will be a com-'
paratively small one, and this calls
for saving every potato which will
grade No. 1 and 2. Our Porto Rico
sweets are favorites in Southern Markets,
in cities in the North where
they have been tried. In the event
of high prices the curing houses
which have insured their houses
against storage rots?for disinfection
means insurance?will reap a rich reward
.
I The United States Department of
l Agriculture in Farmer's Bulletin No.
| 1059 gives the following directions:
j 'fIn the fall, just before the sweet
potatoes are put in storage, the storage
house or cellar shoiild be disinfected
thoroughly, in order to get rid
of the numerous storage-rot germs
left there from the previous crop.
Any one of several efficacious methods
may be employed. The house
I may be sprayed with a solution made
by dissolving one pound of copper
sulphate in 25 gallons of water or
with a solution of formaldehyde made
by mixing one pint of formalin (40
per cent) in 30 gallons of water. In
about 24 hours the house should be
SDraved a second time. Similar results
may be obtained by whitewashing the
storage house or cellar, or, better yet,
by making up a barrel of winterstrength
lime-sulphur solution, 15
pounds of sulphur boiled until dissolved
with 7 1-2 pounds of stone lime
and then the whitewash added to the
mixture. A second coat of whitewash
will not be necessary."
EDITOR WALKER CALLS.
The Times appreciated a call very
much last Thursday from the editor
of The Lexington Dispatch-News?
Mr. W. T. Walker. He was in town
on business. He is justly proud of
his paper which is one of the best in
the state. Mr. Walker expressed
much appreciation of The Calhoun
Times which he peruses with inter- !
