IIMH I I W THURSDAY, NOV. 8 1000 The Privilege Tax. The new town ordinance passed not long ago. requiring the payment of a tax for tho privilege of engaging ir. Certain specified employments within the town limits, is working a hardship on certain people, which perhaps, tho town council did not foresee. An incorporated town cannot run its government, keep its streets in repair, provide for the drainage necessary to the health of its citizens, and attend to the thou sand and one other things which should by all means bo done for the convenience of it^ people, without money and plenty of it. The necessary means to accomplish these ends must be raised by taxation. The assessment of a uniform tax upon the property of the taxpayers, we know to be an absolutely fair way to raise these necessary funds. We have our own opinion of course, as to whether it is fair and proper to impose a privilege tax on occupations and professions, but we do not wish to express it hero; it is to another point that we wish to call the attention of our iwinakers in this article. That point is this. The privilege tax ordinance is I end to operate against the heretofore legitimate business of our farmers in the country. Up to the time that this ordinance was passed, the farmers of mu cuuiiLy >vci?-- umiwuii hi urmg to town and sell as they pleased, and to whom they pleased the fruits, the vegetables, beef and pork, and such other things as they could spare from their farms and gardens. All at once and without warning, they are required to pay a privilege tax. It is legitimate to raise money in a legitimate way, for public purposes, but is it policy for the town of Conway to imposca tax upon the honest farmers of Horry county for selling their products at the only market they have? The bringing of the products of the farm and the gar den and the fisheries to Conway and their sale to the inhabitants of the town, is a mutual benefit to town and county. The town gains its strength from thecountry surround ing it, in short, the one is dependent upon the other, and without it, cannot exist. Is it nolicv to arrav town against county? Wc want the farmers to bring their tobacco to Conway, because it brings us business that would go to other towns. No tax on either tobacco or cotton. Why coinpell them to pay a tax for t he privilege of selling their vegetables >r )>ork? To do so is an outrage. If Conway were a large city there would be greater cause for the passage of such an ordinance. but Conway, while much improved during the last few years, is still a very small country town, and we contend, that as to the farmers of the county, she does not need and should not have such an ordi nance. As we said in the outset, we do ami believe the council foresaw the It 10 Joaeh, the oemorMusci v. ~ ? f jtTect of the ordinance in question upon the trade of our fanners. To idiantfc the law so as to exempt our farmers from its operation, is an easy matter, and we hope that, ere l'>n?r. it will be done. Tnk stork law seems to be a subject upon wliieh tho people of the county are pretty well divided in opinion. One class of our farmers are in favor of such a law because their timber for fencing purposes has become exhausted, or because they happen to be bothered with the mischievous cattle of their ncitfhnors. l no omer cmss arc opposed to thi' law ami this class is by far the larger of the two. We have been opposed to the law, and are still, because we do not think it would suit a majority of the people of the county. The time will come when the enforcement of such a law in llorry will be a necessity. Ihit before any such law is made off ctive in thi^ county we think it would be the proper tiling io submit the (p.iestion to the people at some primary or eenei'al election and let them settle it once and for all. Tiik value of proper and regular exereise to the maintenance of good health is a matter entirely overlooked by many. Our climate has a tendency to make people lazy and indolent. The atmosphere of a low country is always laden with more or less malaria. Those who follow sendentary occupations and neglect to take proper out door exercise find that they are more subject to chills and fever, colds and the like than those'who spend their days in the open air. 1 ly taking exercise a man heightens Ins standard of vital itv and malaria and other disease germs are less likely to find a lodg^ ing plaee in his system.
