A few years ago the ?vt{h'\$jy| stcyg(- r
gling for existence. The" erifl of the War c
Between the States found her flat, fi- x
- I
nancially. The millions of dollars of <.
Confederate money absolutely \yorth- a
less, with slaves all free, lands as a ba
sis of credit no good, and no la^s to t
niide or nrotect her i?eople in the accu- a
mulatiou of wealth; on the other hand, c
all the laws were made by carpet badgers
and scalawags with a view to en- n
rlchiug the North and further humiliat- s
ing the South. After several years of
n
this kind of tyrany, the white people
managed to get lKvssessiou of the State t<
government and began having laws eil- t<
acted that would benefit and-, protect ^
the i>eople. Banking laws were made "
P
so the people could borrow money at
8 or 10 i>er ceut. to use in purchasing t<
* supplies instead of having to pay 50 w
and 100 i>er cent to the lien merchants, a
Other laws were made giving the peo. S]
pie the right to join their capital together
iu corporotions and thus be en- d
aided to transact business on a more b
extensive scale than an individual was n
able to do. 0
In order to induce the i>eople to form a
these eoriwrations, frequently, the le- I:
gislatures would pass special acts re- 0
lieviug them from taxation for a nuin- '
her of years. Frequently counties and 1
townships would vote bonds to railroads,
cotton mills, banks and other 11
corporations to induce them to estab- 11
lished within their borders. They were ?
considered good things for a cominunity
and were thus encouraged. But the
people are restless and in theiranxiety
to make headway are too liable to for. *(
get the debt of gratitude they owe to ^
these institutions for past benefits. And
like the man who killed the goose that
luyed the golden egg, they proceed to
hamper, persecute and destroy these
Institutions by slander, abuse and tax- si
atlon. We have been told, and we do ?
not doubt It, that corporations are now f<
paying 80 per cent, of the taxes in Pick- t<
ens county. Yet the State Tax Com- E
mission is preparing to raise the as- a
scssments. Is this fair? Is it a wise e
policy? We do not think so. Run the d
cori?oratlons out of the State and she si
will be put back fifty years.?Green- li

EFFORTS TO DECEIVE
Sir Edward Carson Charges Conspira- 11
e
cy.
London, July 1.?Today's hearing j,
of the meat packer's case in the British
prize court was occupied by the
attorney general, Sir Edward Carson,
in presenting the crown's argument s
for the condemnation of the NorweigU t]
an steamers Alfred Noble, Kim and Bjornsen,
and 'the Sweedish 'steamer t
Friedland.
The attorney general produced a letter
that had passed between the Messrs. s
Aschors of Hamburg and the American
packers and averted it contained frank n
statements of efforts being made .to de. h
celve. and showed, that reexportation |
of goods from Denmark was doplred.
A letter from the Aschers to one of <
the claimant linns, said the attorney,
general, read.: a
"We shall have to take a chanc .ind
we hope the little lot will slip ti
through." v
"We shall have t otuke a chance and e
The attorney general agrwd with ?
the suggestion of the judge that the ?
American packers naturally supply
any one with goods who pays for them (and
added that they had a perfect
right to supply Germany if they could
get their goods through, but the suggestion
that Great Britain should derive
no advantage from her sen power in r
time of war, he said, was untenable. t
The cases were adjourned until next d
Tuesday on account of pressure of
other court business.
SECRET ORGANISATIONS.
Tho farmers in various parts of the
State are forming organizations, callid
Farmers Secret Associations, and
ve have noticed some criticisms be- o{
lause it is called a secret association. ^
There is no use to get excited about ^

ei
Ire they not good citizens of our

men, who are secretly organl;ing
to injure any legitimate business. {c
Ve would be unwilling to believe that ^
hey would do any such thing. The ^
jrange, which flourished for a aura- j
>er of years, was a secret organizaion.
It was free from the domina- j
ion of designing politicians, and for ^
his reason had quite a long life and
iccomplished great good. As a member
of this organization we know somehing
of the inside workings of the
grange. Then the Farmers' Alliance,

A farmer strolled into a motor sales

il, pointing to a small car. ei]
"Five hundred dollars," was the rely.

"And that?" pointing to a better car. ()j
"Seven hundred and fifty dollars."
"And that there one?" pointing to a su
even passenger, with a jerk of his so
tiumb. nj
"That one is a fine car and is worth
ivelve hundred dollars."
"I'll take it." said the farmer. ^
"The car is cash, you know," said the
alesman.
"Yes. I got the money," said the farler
as he pulled a roll of bills out of ^
is pocket, peeled off twelve one-hunred
dollar bills and paid for the car.
Now, you'll show nie how to drive (he j>()
