New Revenue^ Laws Touch Near all Lines (From The Columbia Stat*-) Matters of taxation occupied much of the time of the general assembly of South Carolina whieh cloned last Sunday morning and various revenue measures were panned, some of these measures being entirely new and others change* in or additions to revenue lawn already in effect. The new measures were amended in several particulars as they received their >evereal readings and it whs difficult for citizens not directly connected m one way or another with the legislature to keep track .of them. In the mMin, six .pew revenue measures which affect Citizens of South Carolina - were passed and are now the law of the land, practically all of them having become effective on their signature by the governor. Also there were revenue laws passed affecting insurance agents. The revenue measures affecting citizens generally "were: Tax on radio receiving sets; on malt extracts; tightening up on documentary stamp law; tax on vending machines; on chain stores; on ineo mes. fh The tax on radio receiving Rets, which of course does not apply to dealers in such sets, provides that persons owning sets costing les? than $50 shall pay a tax of 50 cents annually; -**ts costing from $50 to $200, a tax of $1; sets costing over $500, a tax of $2.50. This year, the radio tax is to be pair] within HO days after the passage of th.e net, March 21. Any one purchasing a ?et after March 31 1ft to pay the tax the state tax commission within 00 days After this year, the radio tax is to l>e paid in .January and February. The tax does not apply to sets owned by disabled persons or perx6hs in prison. The money from this tax goes, not into the general fund, but to the state tuberculosis camp at State Park. The tax on malt extracts, used for 'purposes other than baking, is ten cents per pound, the tax to l>e paid by the person first receiving it. be ne wholesaler or retailer.

Persons failing to set forth the full consideration this applying to grantor and grantee are Hable to a fine of $100 However, should a deed be recorded without the stamps, the validity of the title is in no way affected. The former tax on candies was applicable to boxed candies costing HO cents and above. The law, as amended this year, applies to boxed candies celling at 60 cents arid above, the tax bieng 'one cent for each ten cents above 60 cents. This law was also amended so as to require stainps or) cigars in boxe# of 20 or more and on chewing tobacco in packages of two pounds or more, these to be cancelled with a rubber stamp carrying the firm name of the concern, doing the ranee lling. a part of the stamp to be placed on the revenue stamp and a par' m the package, Heretofore the tamprt were left intact. This measure also authorizes the refund of taxes paid on miik drinks sold to school and dispensed ..r, -ehool premises to pupils, and further provides that wholesalers arc ' stamp their soft drink syrup^within 72 hours after receiving it. Heretofore they have not stamped the syrup they sell. Vending machines ar6 to contribute to the support of the -tat'- government this year.

Stamp selling machines, operated for profit, $2.60. All other vending machines $7.60. I This revenue measure is already I effective. The so-called chain -tore bill, though it affects all -tores as well as the chain stores, preludes that the fi'-t store -haU pay a tax (if $6.

South Carolinian j Invented Typewriter! _ I ; Union, April 12.~The million* of u?er? of typewriting machine* Mattered throughout the world today perhap* have fittl* idea that Monday, April 14, marks the ninety-ninth anniversary of the birth of the inventor of the world'* first practical typewriting machine. John Pratt, to whom the distinction and honor is accredited by many, was born in thia South Carolina town April 14, 1831, and if plana now in contemplation are developed, aa is probable, the centennial anniversary i of the birth of this man who con- j tributed so much to simplify and expediting correspondence both a? to legibility and promptness, will be observed. I he birth place of John Pr*t& was a frame dwelling, opposite where now stands the massive .stone county jail which was erected in 1823 or eight years before Pratt was born. When a child Pratt's parent* moved to what was then the outskirts of this now thriving textile manufacturing center and spent his boyhood days in a two-story residence which is still standing, though it has been j considerably remodelled during the I last decade or so It is located in a beautiful little grove on West Main ; street. W hlle a youth Pratt's parents I moved to Alabama, and resided at ( entre fpr many years.. j It was about February lHfll that | Pratt got the ,dea of building a ma- | chine that would write, making let- J ter.s as if from typp. He worked on this invention in the seclusion of his | home for about three years until he | succeeded in perfecting a machine j that would write' ?s he desired, j though compared with the modern ) t> pewriting machine it was in some i respects cumbersome and far from ' doing the good work of the modern . typewriting machine. At this time, in 1H*>4, the War | Between the States was raging, ..and | I att being a Southern man could ! not secure a patent in the United I Stales as he dared not go to Wash- i ington. for though it is said he de died the ( nu>r. to be preserved, he .-t.li was .oyal to the South after the war began. ' nder these circumstances Pra't t'r-.en went ?o Kngland where in Feb;a-y. 1m>.|. r.e wa? granted a pater* -n ms t\ pewriting machine. lbv| rc-ftci a paper before the Royal So-j 'r> rver:tion caused con- .
