TAX SITUATION DISCUSSED.
State Levy for Year May Remain Unchanged.
jp Columbia, Oct 19.?"There have
been a number of increases in revenue
from the various departments,
and the State levy will very proD
. ably be about 5% mills," said A. W.
JTones the comptroller general in discussing
the tax situation in this
State. No definite statement can be
made with reference to the levy, according
to the comptroller general,
v because the levy will depend on the
appropriation bill as sent in by the
ways and means committee of the
house. The State levy in 1909 and
1910 amounted to 5% mills, rne i
State last year borrowed $500,000
for running expenses and it is expected
that the same amount will
have to be borrowed next year. The
money was borrowed at a very low
* rate of interest, and was secured
through the Palmetto National Bank
of Columbia.
During the present year the fees
from the office of secretary of State,
the State insurance department and
the license fees have been greatly in
creased. The reports that are being
received from the county auditors in?
dicate that the taxable value of real
estate and personal property has been
increased.
"I am afraid" said Comptroller
[ General Jones, "that there will be
another decrease in the amount from
the income tax. Year after year I
i '
have called upon the general assembly
to pass a law that would enable
me to strictly enforce the income tax
law. I will very probably prepare a
| measure to be submitted to the ways
and means committee to provide for
i) the strict enforcement of the income
f tax law." Last year the sum of $14,755
was derived from the income tax
law. In 1909 $16,236 was received.
This shows a falling off of $1,400 in
one year. The income tax law proj
^vides for a tax on incomes over $2,A,
500 annually.
Comptroller General Jones will, in
a few days, send out a request for all
county auditors to make report on
the automobiles in the State. A recent
report to the State department
of agriculture showed over 5,000 ma
chines registered in the State. The
c . { comptroller general estimates that
the automobiles in the State are
* worth at least $5,000,000 and this
would mean a State tax of $100,000.
He will request that the auditors se"
- ^ _ i i
cure the information irom tne cierivs
of court.
I While the best authorities in the
South on the subject, claim that this
year's cotton crop will not be over
twelve million bales, the national
\ agricultural department places the
estimate nearly three million bales
above that. We believe the twelve
million bale estimate is the nearest
to what the crop will turn out to be.

KILLED IN UNION.
Henry Boshea Shot to Death in a
Street Fight.
Union, Oct. 21.?In a fight tonight
between Henry Boshea, a white
man, who came here about three
weeks ago from Columbia to work
in the Union cotton mill, and John
Henry May and Clyde May, Boshea
was shot and killed, after having
been cut in several places and beat
over the head. One report is that
John Henry May, who made his es
cape after the shooting of Boshea,
fired the shots that ended his life,
and another that Clyde May, who
surrendered and is now in jail, did
the killing. Both the May brothers,
however, were in the fight, and
(JJlyde May, who is about 21 years of i
age, is credited with having used
the knife with which Boshea was cut
in several places before he was shot
to death.
The tragedy occurred about 8:30
o'clock at the corner of Main and
Pinckney streets. The cause of the
trouble between Boshea and the May
brothers is not known, but the three
men were first seen to be in angered
conversation in front of Toney's market,
about a block from the place
where Boshea fell dead when he was
shot. Boshea began to retreat, whenj
later the May brothers are said to j
have advanced upon him, begging
them not to kill him. They had almost
reached the corner of Main and
Pi?/?tnov atrootn when John Henry I
May, who is about 25 years of age,
caught hold of Boshea, it is said.
Boshea broke away and the shooting
followed.
Boshea fell and died instantly. 'He
was shot four times.
The May boys are nephews of Jeff
! May, chief of the Columbia fire department
John Henry May, who escaped,
has not been captured, although
the officers are looking for
him.
It is understood that Boshea has
two married sisters living in Columbia,
and one in Florence, but their
names are not known. The Union
police department is desirous of getting
into communication with them
at once.

Hunter's Narrow Escape.
Shot at by an amateur hunter
armed with a powerful magazine rifle
and less than 40 feet distant, Adolphus
Seymour, of Tupper Lake, in
the Adirondacks, was congratulating
himself to-day that he was alive to.
tell the story. The deer hunting
season in the Adirondacks opened
Saturday and yesterday Seymour
went over on Mount Morris in quest
of game. Early in the afternoon
he shot a fine deer, threw the animal
over his shoulder and started for
home. The weight of the deer made
it necessary for Seymour to be very
cautious about his footing and he
kept his eyes on the ground as he
walked, careful not to make a misstep.
Suddenly he heard the click of
a rifle and looking up saw a shining
gun barrel pointed directly at him.
Almost instantly there was a flash
and a report. Somewhere above Saymour's
head the bullet of the fool
hunter went singing among the trees,
missing its mark, which was the
deer on Seymour's shoulders.
"You damned fool," Seymour roared,
dropping the deer and rushing
toward the now startled hunter,
"what do you mean shooting at a fellow
that way?"
"My goodness, I didn't see you
under the deer," the frightened hunter
gasped. He refused, however, to
give his name to Seymour, but it is
said he is a resident of New York
city and is stopping at a camp north
of Tupper Lake.
"If he hadn't had a bad case of
huMf fpupr hp wmilri have erot me."
said Seymour to-day.
When Tupper Lake's experienced
hunters heard of the narr6w escape
of Seymour they talked it over a
while and then decided to attach to
the body of every deer to be carried
from the woods a very large sign with
these words: "Don't shoot me, I'm
dead."?Utica, N. Y., Dispatch.

POSED AS A MAN 11 YEARS.
Arrest of Harvest Hand Reveals
Woman in Male Attire.
Spokane, Wash., Oct. 16.?With
hands hardened by toil in the harvest
fields, muscles that stood out
like those of a pugilist, hair closely
cropped and wearing the apparel of
a workingman, Nell Pickerel, a woman
29 years old, was brought to
the county jail Saturday under the
name of Harvey Allen as a Federal
prisoner, arrested by a deputy United
States marshal at Tekoa on the
charge of selling liquor to an Indian.
When about to be searched the
Pickerel woman whispered to the
jailer that she was not a man and
Reynolds looked up in astonishment.
The matron, Mrs. Warne, was called
in and took charge of the prisoner.
The Pickerel woman admitted that
she had worn men's clothes for 11
years and that she first donned male
attire because of some trouble that
she had gotten into. She had recently
been working with a crew of men
in the harvest fields and was known
to men arrested with her as Harry.
When asked if she did not want an
outfit of woman's clothing she beggejl
to be permitted to wear her man's
attire.
Nell Pickerel is known to the police
of Spokane, by whom she was
arrested three years ago while tending
bar at the old Kalispell saloon.
Her identity as a woman was then established
and her picture placed in
the rogue's gallery. She is held in
the county jail in default of $200
bond.
MOTHER'S FEARFUL DEED.
Sets Fire to House, Causing Death
of Six Children and Self.
Braddock, N. D.^Oct. 23.?Apparently
laboring under a mental strain,
Mrs. Axel Johnson, wife of a farmer
living near here, locked herself and
her six little children in their home
and set the house on fire. All were
burned. Mr. Johnson was working
I in a field some distance from the
house when the tragedy occurred.
Neighbors believe Mrs. Johnson
locked and barricaded the doors and
nailed down the windows of the
house. Then saturating the room
with oil, she applied a match. Neighbors
rushed to the house, but rescue
was impossible. The bodies were
found in a corner of the living room
under the smouldering mass, where
they had huddled together when the
flames surrounded them. SPECIAL
