X BEATHEA arolina Nominated For Lieutenant i n or ! LOCAL BOTTLERS SOiD ; LETTER TO SENATORS REGARDING SOFT DRINK TAX _ ! [ARE AGAINST IT Point Out In Cc<mmunication Sent To Washington That It Would Be Unjust and Work Hardship (From Wednesday's Daily.) Anderson county bottlers and those gentlemen engaged In this coun ty in the enterprise of manufacturing soft drinks have become much arous ei'^over the fact that congress is con sidering the matter of pricing a tax on all soft drinks and bottlers of that ommodity. The dealers in Anderson vesterday were busy in mailing out Cotters to the congressmen* an-J sena tors in Washington with whom they are personally acquainted. They mail ed dozens of theae letters during the day and they believe that the Ander son letters will get some results. These letters were "sent to Hoke Smith. T. W. Hardwlck and a number of other prominent southerners. The following la a copy: "The papers have been publishing stories to the effect that congression al notion is contemplated looking to the imposition of a tax on soda water for the purpose of helping out the loss of revenue caused by the war in Europe; and it is in this regard that ? write you this letter. A tax of one eight h of a cent per bottle has been J mentioned, and I say to you in all I fairness-that the imposition of this amount would be conflscatory on the I bottling business if the bottler was compelled to bear it, and would be ; paid by the small merchant if the ' bdtllcr was compiled to raise the pjicc. Another thing: the, standard package' of bottled soda water is a crate o? 2 dozen bottles. If the bot tler can realize a net profit of 10c per crate on his product, he is making about the maximum profit.

"Another point is this: Tho hot 'tag busines is perhaps further anil boiter developed iu the South than In any other section of the country; ov-ing to the longer season?and the imposition 'of this tax. would require a much - higher proportion of - it to be iftfd by tho fpeople f tho south thai by those of the north and west, i "I feel quite sure you will subject ftil tu!?
