the consistory of the ^-university,
which reviewed the deductions of
the experts with the gr^xlest care

the consistory were disappointed.
The consistory met and adopted
a written report that the alleged
records submitted for examination
by Dr. Cook failed to prove the
claim that he reached tlia pole
The report of the cownittee,
Prof. Csuomgren, chairman, as pre

DODGING THEIR TAXES
University of Copenhagen for veri
fication. following that body's repud
iation of Dr. Cook, has raised a storm
among the membership of_lbe Na
tional. Geographical Society, which
gave Peary a clean bill of health.
The leading members claim that
the scientists of the United Stiles
would be demeaning themselves, if
they acknowledged that their find
ings needed verification. There
seems to be no disposition to with
hold from the Copenhagen board the
data filed by Peary, but there is a
well defined opposition against turn
ing it over to the Danish scientists
for official action.
The arguments advanced by Ad
miral Schley that aoch examination
would remove all question of doutt
from the claim of Peary ha/a been
found Impeachable by American
scientist^, and, therefore, the quej
tlon la not whether Peary’s right,
but whether the scientists ara wrong.
“Nothing can be gained by sub-
mitttn* p-"T!msn^ r Poprv’s dsfn to
the University of Uopeuhagen ' said
Prof. Gannett, who was chairman of
the committee that passed upon the
proofs of Peary, “and I do not see
any reason why he should.”

ed Cook’s data some time ago, de

Schley as “absurd.” He declared he

"It looks as if the malefactors of

the laws and adopted a low assess
ment and a high rate. It catches the
wage earner and man of moderate
means a coming and a going."
“The law of thla State requires
that all property be assessed at its

in speaking of the matter of .taxa
tion and assessment. For the past
twenty years the comptroller general
has been fighting for an equalization
of < property taxation both in refer
ence to the corporations and the
small taxpayer. Little has been gain
ed by the comptroller’s onslaught,
yet it has had its moral cilect.
That there is inequality in the
assessment of street railways, power
companies and such enterprises will
be pointed out in the annual report
of the comptroller, general. Espec

is continually improving the seed

developed to the highest point. Corn
that has been bred up will yield 10
per cent, more or better than corn
that has not been bred up. In other
words, South Carolina is losing at
least 3,000,000 bushels a year In
the yield, owing to the poor quality
of seed. Members of the association
who breed corn along the lines laid
down in the meeting Fill be able to
guarantee seed that will be high
