' WILL ASK REFORM
j IN TAXING SYSTEM
Reform of the State taxing1 system
will be one of the chief proposition ;
advanced by Robert A. Cooper, when
he assumes the duties of governor
January 21.
It is understood that Mr. Cooper
will recommend to the legislature
the passage of a law providing an
executive budget, somewhat similar
to the law now in force in the State
0.1 Virginia.
Frequently during his campaign
last summer, Mr. Cooper advocated
making the county the unit of a tax
district. Under this plan which presumes
the adoption of the budget
idea, the total amount of the State
budget would be apportioned among
the counties according to taxable
wealth of the various counties to be
ascertained by a tax suiwey of each
county.
It is understood to be Mr. Cooper's
idea in making a tax survey that the
counties should be subdivided into
school districts. In this way it is
thought that all property subject to
taxation can be listed at its actual
Veiluo, is provided by the constitution.
This will also do away with the
State mill levy. In lieu of the mill
levy, each county would be required
to contribute a fixed sum jus its part
of the State budget.
MONDAY WAS SALES DAY.
Last Monday was legal salosdny.
being the first Monday in the month
of January, 1919. No legal sales
were made except numerous tract
composing the estate land of the late
R. M. Prince at and near Gurley,
South Carolina. These tracts were
sold last Monday by W. L. Bryan irv

Prince, as Administrator of R. M.
Prince estate.

discontinue the habit of thinking
that fall and winter is the easiest sea
son en the farm. In the old stubble
that remains on the fields during th'?
winter, a number of our worst insects
spend the winter. Pull up a com
stubble during January, split open
the root and find the winter home of
the corn stalk borer or bill bug,
or both. Pull off the old shucks and
roots and you break into the home o\

MORE LIVE STOCK.
Clemson College, Dec. 31.?Sine
the Boll Weevil has made his aj
Ipparance in South Carolina an
threatens to carry out his prograi
of disorganizing our plans of cotto
farming, many of our farmers an
business men are now laying thei
plans for the growing of more an
better livestock.
The freeing of this State of tit
Cattle Tick has been a gi-eat imp<
tus for increasing the number an
quality of the cattle in South Can
lina. Farmers, realizing that th
pest will now cease to take his to
from their herds, have already mac
plans to improve and increase U
quality and number of their cattl
Business men are planning to fu
nisk money for the purchase of tl
necessary breeding stock to put tl
cattle and hog industry on its feet,
PUT FOE'S BIG SHIPS

. I
Washington. ? Germany's capital ;
battleships should be sunk in mid- j
ocean so deep they never will be seen ^
again. This was the recommendation i
made to the Allied commanders and
outlined to the House Naval Affairs'
Committee by Hear Admiral Hugh
Hodman, commander of the American
fleet just returned from foreign
waters after nearly two years' service
with the British Grand Fleet.
Admiral Rodman, who was present
at the surrender of the Gern^an
fleet, and who is but a few days oil
his flagship, the New York, brought
nil* tuiuiiiiurf ci i-i iuuvv/ i,"
the officers and personnel of the
American Navy. From his observations
and experiences in modern naval
warfare he made these recommendations
for future naval policy:
Acceptance of an invitation, made
to the United States through him by
King George, for an interchange of
visits by the fleets of the two countries
to foster and continue friendly
feeling.
Continued use of our submarines
for defense.
Entirely new types of vessels:
equipped with airplanes able to at- j
tack fleets at close range with flying
torpedoes.
o
Roads in many parts of Horry
County remain in bad condition and
ii is the wrong time of the year to
get them fixed.
I
o
PRICES ARE HIGH. i
Prices of nit supplies still remain
high and the high cost of all materials
still remains a great problem
to all those who want to build and
have been waiting for the war to get
lover to begin operations. According
to news items appearing lately the
people will he encouraged to begin
operations again especially in building
enterprises in the large cities,
I which unless some plan is found
whereby materials and labor may
come down to a reasonable propor- !
tion it is hard to understand how business
men can he induced to go into
large contracts at this time.

After the close of the recent

most British statesmen summed up
the situation by saying:
