Another I#a of China
Our idea of China has always been
that it is a country of teeming: pop
ulation. School geographies and his
tories pictured boats on rivers as the
homes of multiplied thousands of
natives because there was no room
on the land for them. This concep
tion has been shattered since "for
eign devils" have had opportunity
within the past few years to explore
the Chinese Empire.
The Biblical Recorder last week
states that James Joyne*, son of Dr.
yH, Y. Joyner, of Raleigh, has recent
returned from China, in which
country he represented the American
Tobacco Company for several years.
The Recorder's reporter states that
he learned many things about China
that he never knew before, one of
which is "that the 'Celestial Empire'
is a great game country. Tigers,
wild boar, geeSe, and ducks abound.
The head of a large boar which Mr.
.Joyner brought with him furnisher
visible evidence of the existence of
this animal. ' The one. whose head
has been mounted was killed by Mr.
Joyner. We had always been of the
impression that China was so dense
ly populated that there was, no land
left for game. Mr. Joyner says the
fertile parts are thickly populated,
but there are great stretches of un-,
productive sections in which game
abounds. Mr. Joyner's account of
the war was very interesting and in
forming." ? Monroe Enquirer.

States Naval hospital corps, Paris
Island, testified at the coroner's in
quest about as follows:
Winer had come to Port Royal
from the marine station at Paris Is
land and was standing on a corner
in the town when he was approached
by Munns and told he was under ar
rest. Winer protested and the mar
shal said he would have to submit t->
arrest or give $10 bond. The marine,
protested he was not drunk or disor
derly and refused to be arrested,
attempting to pull off his coat and
getting it down to his elbows, behind
his back. Munns deputized J. A.
Allen to help make the arrest and
Allen caught the marine's arm. Wi
ner stepped back and Munns styot
Winer through the right chest an
inch below the fcone. Munns and Al
len caught the marine's arms and
i started witli him across the street,
Munns hitting him in the mouth with
j the butt of his gun. He was dropped
in the dust and died in about IB min
utes.
MUnns and Allen did not testify at
the inquest, but gave interviews.
Munns declared that .Winer wa?
drunk and cursing toi(such an extent
that two young women of Port Royal
had complained to him. He went to
arrest Winer,, who protested, saying
he would see the officer in hell before
submitting. Munns attempted to dep
utize some of. the marines to help
with the arrest, and failing, secured
Allen. As Allen caught Winer's arm
the latter stepped back and semed to
reach into his hip pocket und^r his
coat, when Munns fired.
Munns admitted striking the man
in the face with the butt of his gun,
saying he was cursing.
Munns was held by the coroner's
jury for the killing and Sheriff J. D.
McTeer brought him to Beaufort and
placed him in jail.
After cursory examination by the
coroner, Paris Island officers picked
up the body of Winer, and took it to
the marine station. .No one looked to
see if the man had a gun, as far as is
known here. But the marines who tes
tified at the inquest declared the man
had no weapon. He was dressed in
civilian clothes.
Falls Dead in Pulpit
Orangeburg, S. C.t>May 28.-i-"For
he that is dead is free from sin" is
a verse in the sixth chapter of Ro
mans and had just been read by Rev.
Nelson Ott, who dropped dead in the
pulpit at the St. John Methodist
? church in Orangeburg Wednesday
night.
v A revival service was in progress
at this church which is in the Santee
Mill Village, and Rev. Ott was before
the congregation when the end came.
He had conducted a prayer and had
entered whole heartedly into the ser
vices.
While reading the Bible he falter
ed some and Rev. Ernest Dugan, pas
tor of the church noticed this and
saw Rev. Ott make a gesture and
say "folks I am sick" and then fell.
Rev. Dugan caught him before he
fell to the floor.
At first it was thought he had
fainted, but doctors arriving upon the
scene in a few minutes say he died
as he fell.
The congregation was dismissed
with prayer after Rev. Ott fell and
none knew at that time he was dead.*

CITIZENS ORGANIZE
To I'roteat Against System of Unjust
Taxation
(South Caroling Gazette)
Hack in 1773, the opposition of thci
South Carolina colonists to the Brit
ish tax laws, particularly a tax of
six cents a pound on tea, assumed j
such proportions that when the ship
London arrived at Charles Town with
at\ cargo of the taxed tea4?. a mass
meeting was held and it was decided
that the tea should not be sold. An
other ship came later with more tax
ed tea. The merchants of Charles
Town to whom it had been consigned
dumped the cargo into the sea.
It wasn't exactly another tea, party,
that meeting in Columbia last Friday
when organization of the South Car
olina Citizens' Cooperative Tax As
sociation was perfected. But history
is repeating itself, in South Carolina,
An organized movement is being be
gun to combat what is regarded as
unjust taxation.
From present indications, and judg
ing by the almost universal (^satis
faction throughout the state over the
so-called "luxury taxes" enacted by
the 1024 and 1925 Legislatures, the
movement will be far-reaching and,
before another General Assembly con
venes, will assume ^tremendous pro
portions.
Present existing tax evils and in
equalities will be fought, not mali
ciously nor will there be anything of
a spirit of reprisal, the organization
now being perfected to be construc-|
.tive, and 4he law, however objection- (
able and whatever hardships it may
impose, will be observed.
The important point, however, is
that there is organization and deter-,
mi nation to the end of revision and
adjustment of taxes in South Caro-? i
Una ? in which movement the South
Carolina Citizens' ^Cooperative Tax1
Association, as its name implies, will
have the cooperation of the citizenry.
Unlike the merchants of Charles
Town the merchants of South Caro
lina; who are penalized and discrimi
nated against under the present tax
laws, will not resort to violence. The
purpose of the organization as out
lined in the by-laws adopted Friday
is as follows: .
"The purpose of this organization
shall be, the calling together of nil
farmers and,othcr business organiza
tions in the state of South 'Carolina
for the purpose of forming a central
association to study the tax problems
of the state of South Carolina; to
make recommendations and sugges
tions to the public and to the Gen
eral Assembly of this state concern
ing tht* assessment and levying of
taxes; to investigate the needs of
the state government as to appropri
ations for its general fund and for
the various state institutions; to
mukc recommendations and sugges
tions to the General Assembly of
South Carolina in reference thereto;
to cooperate in the general study of
the tax needs of this state; to inves
tigate business and farming condi
tions, and from time to time sug
gest such new laws as will attract
and improve farming and business
conditions within the bounds of this
state."
| 1 S. C. Hodges of Gerenwood, was
elected president of the association.
Other officers elected were: 13. W.
Crouch of Saluda, VV. Mason McCon
nell of York, H. R. Allen of Char
leston, M. I). DuPre of Columbia, W.

[ presidents. A secretary and treas

cilor for the organization.
It is planned to have the newly
formed association hold a meeting in
^the fall in Columbia at which time
efforts will be directed to the fram
ing of suggestions for adjustment of
taxes, these suggestions to be sub
mitted to the next general assembly
for consideration. In the meantime
Studies will be made of the tax sit

and the manner of levying taxes, in

The Disadvantage* of An Education
The advantages of education are so
numerous and so evident that thoy
do not have to be proved. Occasion
ally, however, there are disadvantages
as well.
The daughter had just returned
from finishing school.
"That air," remarked h<>r father,
as they were sitting together in the
dining room.
"Father, dear," interrupted the girl
"it's vulgar to say 'that air.' You
should say, ,'that something there,'
or preferably, just that.'"
"Well, this ear,?" commenced her
father.
"No," his daughter interrupted
again. "That's just as vulgar. You
must avoid such expression as 'this
'ere?'
"Look here, my girl," said her
father. "I'm going to say exactly
what I mean. That air is bad for
this ear of mine, and I'm going to
close the yindow."
