TAX COLLECTIONS SLOW.
iifj
Only 21.5 Per Cent of Amount Assessed
in 1014 Paid.
Columbia, Jan. 7.?A little over
one-fifth, or 21.5 per cent., of the
State taxes assessed tor lyi* naa
been paid up to December 31, according
to figures made public this afternoon
by S. T. Carter, State treasurer.
This compares with 28 per cent, paid
up to the corresponding period of
? last year. The total assessed taxes
for the State purposes in 1914 was
$1,843,073.29, an increase of $282,000
in the assessment for the previous
year. Of this amount $397,172.14
has been paid up to Decemv,
ber 31.
The tax levy for last year was six
mills, against five and three-quarters
for the previous year, but in 1913
l there was a special levy of one mill
for school purposes, and this was not
; * reenacted in 1914, so the levy is in
? reality one-quarter of a mill less.
Cotton Pool a IMsaster.
Fort Worth, Texas. Jan. 12.?Peter
Radford, national lecturer of the
Farmers' union, when asked by a
representative of the press today if
the farmers of the South would ap
ply for loans under tne terms or ine
$135,000,000 cotton pool, said:
"I do not know of a banker in
Texas or elsewhere who is willing to
lend money to the farmers at six per
cent, under the provisions of the
pool and I do mot think many farmers
would care to qualify for a loan.
It is to be regretted that the officers
of that movement are not frank
3 enough to admit that the failure of
the pool is due to inherent defects
of the plan. It has not only failed
completely, but it has indirectly cost
the Southern cotton producers millions
of dollars. I think it can be
truthfully said that had the plan
never been suggested, several millions
of dollars would have been
loaned against cotton in the South
by many banks who subscribed to
the fund in good faith, and naturally,
with such a pledge becoming a
liability they might be called upon
~ ; to assume, they did not give consideration
to making direct loans as
the Southern banker has always
done, and as a result the pool cut off
the local money supply and forced
the cotton on the market. I have
no doubt the promoters acted in good
faith, but the movement has been a
serious disaster to the South."
"Do you think only of me?" murmured
the bride. "Tell me that you
think only of me."
"It's this way," explained the
bridegroom, gently. "Now and then
I have to think of the furnace, my
dear."?Louisville Courier-Journal.

JOHN* BULL'S REPLY.
i
Bryan Announces Receipt of Note j
Concerning Shipping.
Washington, Jan. S.?Secretly
, A 1 ?J
aryan jaie xoaay announced i ctcim >
of Great Britain's reply to the American
note respecting interruption of |
American commerce. The note will
be made public Sunday afternoon by
agreement between the State department
and the British foreign office. !
State department officials read the
British note carefully, but would!
make no comment in advance of pub-:
lication. That it is inconclusive in j
many respects, however, and will lead j
to a further diplomatic exchange was i
learned from authoritative quarters.!
Some points, as the question of I
proof at the time of detention of
ships and length of time required for
examination, remain undetermined.
The communication points out the
peculiar necessities of belligerents,
but is phrased in a spirit of frankness
and friendliness. Much emphasis
is placed on the necessity for
careful search of all cargoes which: (
appear suspicious. - I (
Great Britain appreciates that the ^,
United States does not deny a belligerent's
right to search vessels on
the high seas, but is understood to
have explained that since this rule ,
.of international law was set up the
size of vessels has changed and examinations
at sea cannot be conducted
with as much facility as before.
Specifically Great Britain claims
that it has paid for all copper seized
and that arrangements now have
been made with Italy, Holland and
the Scandinavian countries whereby
legitimate cargoes of even contraband
will not be unduly delayed. Rigorous
embargoes on re-exportation
adopted recently by European neutrals
have made it possible for the .
British government to promise much
improvement to American exporters.
Conditional Contraband. 1!
As to foodstuffs and conditional
contraband, Great Britain has no intention
of repudiating Lord Salisbury's
doctrine that such products (
must be shown not to be destined to 1
an enemy force, but will insist on ;
careful examination to make sure j
supplies are not so destined. c
Remedies for many difficulties *
which have arisen are daily being
devised, Great Britain has pointed j
out, and steps taken by the United t
States to verify manifests will assist
in removing causes for delay.
As to articles put on the contra- c
band list, such as ro6in and turpin- 1
tine, the British government has ap- ^
plied the doctrine of President Lin- f
coin, that absolute contraband con- ?
sists of all materials susceptible of i
use in making munitions of war. The s
British have discovered that these {
products are are essential to the l
manufacturer of some forms of am- c
munition and will insist that under ?
international law they must be re- t
garded as absolute contraband. e
A partial remeay ior tne situation, *
however, is being sought in arrange- E
c
ments for consignment of naval stores
from the United States to neutral I
countries, so that American ships a
can take their naval stores as ballast ?
for cotton cargoes, sell the contra- -j
band to neuteral countries, and send C
their cotton to belligerent countries *
without further molestation. ,

When asked about the counterfe

tla., and that he has been with croc
for the past five years. A pho
?raph was taken of him this moi

record.
Whether Hodges is telling t
truth, or all the truth, is a matter
conjecture with the authorities he
It has been sugested that he is si
pie-minded and that there is
truth in his confession. If his cc
ression be true, no doubt, say t
police, it will lead to the arrest

reason for the confession, it is sa
the fact that he could not go ar
