f TAXATION IS GREAT TANGLE It is Monday morning in Columbia. What is the legislative situation in Columbia? In the language of the late Senator Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, "where are we at?" In spite of the ten weeks' continuous sessions, the big legislation is yet to be enacted by the general assembly, and the members are getting very weary and are showing the strain they are working under. And yet no constructive legislation so far as revenue producing measures has yet been agreed upon. On the other hand the State's annual appropriation bill has passed KniU 1a /ai tcrnn ??v%/3 i ?. i-k - 1 J - uvin uiFUism iiuu in iiuw in uiu nanus of a free conference. But the extraordinary situation down here is that these conferees cannot act on the bill until it is seen just what revenue measures will become law. One thing can be .put down, if there is not some modern legislation to tax the invisible property of the State put on the 1 statute books the big appropriation bill will get the veto. While nothing aufhoriative can be stated along this '< 'line, the reader can refer to Gov. McI^eod's, campaign statements last summer as to problems of taxation and economy, and the governor is the kind of man who practices what he preaches. Here's the way the situation appears to "a man up a tree:" The house passed the big appropriation ( bill, carrying over seven million dollars; it went to the senate and that body passed the measure, increasing the giand total to over eight million dollars. But, like the story of the 1 monster "Frankenstein," the makers of this increase, now look with awe and fear upon their handiwork and want to get out of the dilemna con- : fronting them. It is a safe venture .1 .

The house is insisting that its commodity or luxury tax law be enacted. The senate, after having had this bill for over a week, reported out a general sales and occupational tax measure as a substitute for the house bill. This sales tax bill passed the senate with but little more than one hour's delvate. Although one of the most vital issues that body has ever considered since civil war davs, on the open floor of the senate it has had but brief discussion. Now with the senate conferees urging some kind of sales tax and the house conferees strong for the commodity tax, they wil1 report the result of their findings tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Just what this result will be is waited with ke<m interest, as it will have the most direct bearing on the further length of this session. Should there be hopeless disagreement, then before adjournment sine die both houses would have to enact some compromise revenue producing bills. In a word, the two big issues looming up and affecting every man, woman and child,! white and black, in South Carolina, I are the annual appropriation bill, and some measure or measures that will produce revenue other than slapping an addition to the general property tax. *~And something defienite along these lines can be reasonably looked "forward to this week. j The above tells the tale as it stood last Monday morning before the house and the senate met for this week of the legislative grind, a session which has been prolonged more than usual. It is a troublous situation. The people do not want to see their schools left idle, no money to pay teachers, no money to build and improve school buildings, and other institutions also crippled and made to sit down in sackcloth and ashes. The big old appropriation bill hrs been handled and millions of dollars appropriated, but how will the big approproations be met unless the legislature finds some new way to raise more money except by placing the burden on the already exhausted property owners of the State? There is no way for The Herald to tell today how the matter has come out. Perhaps our law makers have solved the problem by this time, but nobody can be certain what is going to happen in the closing days of a session. Even the legislators, some of them, are rather hazy when they return home from the thick of the fight at the close of a session and are unable to tell you just what was done 'with this or that. o DUFORD NEWS The farmers are busy preparing 'their land for planting. Some have already planted corn. n i* _ _ _ i i oome larmers are uneasy anoui their tohacco as the cold has killed some of the plants and there are reports that the Hessian Fly is destroying lots of them. Rev. W. M. Gerrald, of the Pee Dee Academy, spent the week-end with his sister, Mrs. F. D. Coleman, of Rains. * / Mr. H. E. Blanton was on our streets last Saturday. Dr. A. D. Lewis, of Green Sea, met with Little Pee Dee lodge. K. of P., of which he is a member, last Saturday night. The local unit of the Tobacco Growers', of Floyds, met last Thursday night and some good talks were made. -o Look oyer the list of those who have not answered recent communications and if your name is in the lot let the office hear from you. * o - 1 Make The Horry Herald paper your paper. _ I MUST REMOVE FISHING NETS A People Need to Know and Help Enforce Game Laws - b.yv) Editor: o ' I desire to c?dt to the attention of the people of the inland counties of the State the advantage of their cooperating with this department in the enforcement of an act of the General Assembly of South Carolina of 1918, which requires that all nets, seines, or any plan or device for th estoppage or collecting of fish must be removed from all creeks, streams and inland waters of the State from the setting of the sun each Saturday until the rising of the sun each Wednesday. The courts of this State have recently held that this law is in full force and this department has taken steps to open up the mouths and lower parts of all of the rivers of the State, that is, to see that no nets, seines or any plan or device for the stoppage or collecting of fish is used in tne streams at these points during; the closed time in order that the shad and other fish may have free migration to the benefit of the people of the upper counties. Also, I have recently written to all of the Game Wardens of every county in which the streams pass to the coast, instructing them to see that all nets, traps, seines or other obstructions are removed from the streams of their counties as required by this act. If this is done and the people of the different counties will co-operate in the enforcement of the law and the apprehension and conviction of those who violate the law, it will mean abundant fish throughout the State. It will be recalled that fifteen or twenty years ago shad were plentiful in most of the streams of the State, but that in recent years there have been none, for the reason that they were all being caught or stopped at or near me mourns or tne different streams. If this law is not obeyed, it will simply mean that in a few years we will have no shad at all in South Carolina, for the reason that the nature of the shad is to come up the streams to perfectly clear water and there spawn; then, when the young shad are hatched out they return to the ocean, and in time come back to the very river in which they were spawned. It can therefore very readily be seen that if they are prevented from getting 'to their spawning grounds, that within a few years there will be none coming up our streams. The Government statistics show that the shad come hack to the rivers in which they are bred, and if they are prevented from returning to their breeding grounds in our rivers, that naturally it is onlv a matter of time before none come back. If you will give this information to the people of your county through the columns of your paper, I feel sure that you will have rendeded a service to South Carolina, and I wish lo assure you that the same will be appreciated greatly by this department.

They are scarcely four years old, but their young minds are full of the adventurous spirit which may make them both very successful men later on in life. On Friday afternoon, by some | means they obtained possession of a boat. They decided to explore Kingston Lake. When they were discovered by Miss Evelyn Snider, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Snider, and whose home is on the shore of the lake, the two infants had propelled their boat out into the middle of the stream and were the^e having a debate perhaps as to which course they would take in carrying out their adventure further. Miss Snider went out in another boat and brought the youngsters in without any accident. lands and West by lands of H. E. and J. H.
