PROSPERITY
What do we mean by prosperity?
iA return to the boom times of 19^?
What is the standard of prosperity?
I make no claim to being a prophet,
but I think that we are all fooling
ourselves if we exiiect prices of goods,
wages, rents, salaries and other items
of income and outgo to return to the
high figures of four years ago.
I think it is much more likely that
when we recover our economic balance
we will find ^hat we are about where
we were before the great war, with
the exception that m higher percent
age of our people will be earning a
living income ^an was the case in
1913.
ing the present weke on their 1931
taxes. Comptroller General A. J. Beat-
tie announced.
The more than $800,000 is to be dis
tributed largely among the 31 coun-!
ties through which the railway lines
operate, easing the ca.sh situation ma
terially.
Except for 10 per cent which the
state receives, the entire amount goes
to county school funds. Malhy teach
ers who have been unpaid will now re
ceive their salary checks, the comp
troller general said.
The $409,000 received today is for
1930 taxes which became overdue
when the railway went into bank
ruptcy. The railway )ias contended it
should not pay a penalty, but the
state has not agreed to this.
Mr. Beattie said he had taken the
amount of the tax less the penalty
without cancelling the state’s lien as
to penalty and was still holding the
execution until the matter of liabili
ty is determined.
Chesterfield county receive* the
largest amount with $32,923.68. Oth
er counties receiving substantial suma
are: Laurens, $24312.06;.Charleston,
$20,016.00; Kershaw, $20,760.61, and
