The Inheritance Tax AK far as wo know, 111? writer WUK the oui}' editor lu Hie state who two years ugo appealed fer the Inheri tance tax hill. ll ?ann' very neatly heilig made a law. Tin-re wan a Ken Tal misunderstanding ol this hill, just as lhere has been on Hie hill to adopt the Torreons system of land reg istration to this stale. Tin- Inheritance tax is almost Iden tical In principle willi the Income tax ami is absolutely democratic. It would work a hardship on nu one. for. under the exemptions umler the Kem ber! bill, it would require an estate of $15,000 to $20.000 before tin- ex emption would apply. And the tax would he a mere trifle, perlmjiB $1 on the fl .(ion. While the tax would in a way guar antee proper handling of catates, its principal object would bo lo place a tax un bom's timi securities escaping taxation. The government mukes the boudB sate, bul gets no Insur ance premium. This tux would in the next 27, years wipe out our state debt, not by plac ing any unjust taxation iipiin persons, but by getting taxes out nf estates that have, perhaps, heen escaping their due burdens. This lax would be a help, a protection tu the poor man. It would never impuse any hardship \DOII him. A mun would have to own (10,000 worth of proper ty before his estate would ever come under this proposed law. And here is a dispatch from Utah showing how that state was helped: Salt Lake City, Ulah.-The inheritance tax paid to the state of I'tah by the estates of the late . E. fl. (larriman will cover about two-thirds of the cost of the erec tion of the state capitol which wan contracted for lately. The I larriman estate paid the state nearly three-quarters of u mil lion liol lars und this was set aside by Hie last legislature as a cupitol fund. The building will cost $1.000,000. Consider that statement. Who was I larriman? The head of a greut railway syndica'o Did hi- li'? in Utah? He did not, yet that part of his estate lying within Utah was amen able tu this inheritance tax. He mane his millions' out of Utah, his es tate repaid In part. Men living at a distance, the real owners of stock in our much abused "mill mergers" and other "coporations" would in years to come pay into the treasury of South Carolina a vast sum by way of the inheritance tax. It does seem thut ? ven the densest legislator could understand and favor a bill of that kind. School Diseases Children of school age contract such diseases as measles, scarlet fev er and diphtheria much more fre quently thun older persons. All that I has been learned about the modes of transmission of certain dhieases, no tably diphtheria, indicates that the taking of a large number of children out from their restricted family and neighborhood relationships and bringing them into contact with a much larger group will increase the ? opportunities for infection. As regards opportunities for, infec tion furnished by the school, it must be admitted that while the slate, the common drinking cup and the roller towel are fast passing away, suffl I clent facilities for the transfer of I disease germs still exist in the friend ly exchange of pocket handkerchiefs, Hp-moistened lead pencils, chewing [gum and the like. Tho school play ground as well as the school room, must be considered in its bearing on the subject of school diseases. The significance of school attendance on the public health side lies not only in the assembling of children in a room, but also in the bringing into mere or les intimate association a number of children who would otherwise not have met at all. Increasing the number of associates I must necessarily increase the chances of infection. Diphtheria and scarlet fever show a mai ked increare in ?he autumn when the schools open and an equally de finite decrease in the summer when the schools ai" closed.-Medical In spection of children upon the opening of schools should be ordered by the boards of health if the legislature will do nothing. The wye*, threats and bodies of the little ones might be pro tected from pain and suffering and possible disfiguration and lifelong In- I capacity by the exercise of a little | common sense now. Odorless Cabbage Some time ago attention was called j to Oregon's crop of the "bectatoe," a combination of the beet and potato, said to be very prolific and of deli cious flavor. Now comos the news that the United States government, ?department of agriculture, has im ! ported from China a new variety of cabbage which has wonderful possi bilities. The new cabbage la not sown until tho first week in August in allowing the grower time to first raise a crop of spinach or snap beans on the same soil, but it heads, in November, the came as ordinary cahhnge. It ls not ?as solid as ordtnnry cabbage, but the very delicacy of Its leaves makes lt better for cold sluw and sauerkraut I und lt is entirely odorless while be ing cooked. That sounds mighty good. We hope that the government I can propagate the production of the ? odorless cabbage without a stink be lng raised by the politicians. Some time ago there appeared a news Item from St Paul stating that as a result of chemical soil analysis In the greenhouses ot James J. Hill, lt is believed that the production of wheat, oats and barley can be doub led. Other dispatches report that meal made from alfalfa has been found excellent for human food. Bur bank some time ago, made the cactus edible. Why these remarkable addi tions to the human food supply? It is to teach man that the soil has I greater possibilities thun he has yet dreamed of, and he must work on. We have spoken recently of the I dut been," which is a domesticated form of the "elephant's ear." The Im mense, Juicy leaves are sr-'d to be de lightful for salad and ine tuberous roots are good for the uses to which white potatoes and sweet potatoes are put. When the government brought the dasheen over from the Philip pines lt claimed to have something bran new. but on the coast of South Carolina the dasheen has been a table friend for nearly 200 years, under the name of "tanyah." Law and Order League There was a big crowd In Anderson yesterday. In fact thero have been big crowds here all through the weeks of court. Under the old dis pensary there were more arrests for drunkenness In a day .than there are now in a month. And the trouble about the dispensary was that so many would buy their bottles and wait until they got out Into the coun try to get drunk and raise their dev ilment on the country roads. We favor ami have favored the or I ganlzing of a law and order league to assist the officers of the law in get ting information. There ls liquor In Anderson county, but lt is sold In such a sneaking way that the officers of the law cannot keep it down. We believe that the sheriff of the county is a man who appreciates the responsibility of his office and will break up illicit liquor handling In Anderson, whenever he gets hts hands on the violators. But that is not always an easy thing to do and requires time and patience, and the help of good citizens. Start Right Now Tho spirit of progress Is pulsating in every heart in Anderron. There ts not another city In tho state where the people are as much of a unit for devel opment as Cey aro In Anderson. The thing most needed for Anderson is a commission form of government. The commission of three to Ave men mere ly conducts the city's business as the directors do for a bank.'' The newly elected city council ap pears to be composed of good business men, but they could accomplish more udder a commission form of govern ment. The personnel baa leas to do with the matter than the form of the government. The newly elected mayor of Ander son is heartily in favor of the commis sion plan. The two aldermen 're elected are In favor of lt. But the commission form of government can never give entire L-tlsfactlon unless a few changes are made In the existing law. We trust that the new council will get attorneys to draw up amend ments to the existing law, to make lt flt Anderson and get our next legisla tive delegation to put ii through and let the people rote on lt next March. By The Way Ful ks have gol so they haven't a blt of faim In drugs and doctors nowa days-when they are well, says Uncle Ezra. Dy the same token it's <|iii?e I'??: u? ual thing to get careless about fun damental helps, when the dan, T or need is past. Olil Engineer John Masters was careles? that way on a steep North Carolina mountain side once, when Ix- had u slippery truck ahead and a heavy string of freight cars behind him. That wa? before the day of ?he safe ly tiding devices of the lilli roaos and brakes were mighty essential lo safety and good brakes at that. John's biases were not doing their duty and the old mau at the throttle hud vis ions of a locomotive smashed shape less against a mo^ntajn peak and himself a blcedy blot on the land scape. John became somewhat nu UH "Lord help me lo stop this train." piayed the engineer c v? r ai?.J over again, most fervently He wa? speaki ng very confidential to the I.-trd, try ing lo impress him with '.h j serious ness of (he case, as lt were. Shortly, either the Lord took a brm grip on the situation or Hom?>thin? else happened, for tho hr.kts began t?? hold and.soon Masters realized he bad control. "Loni, you may turn loose n?>w. I think I can manage ncr myself?" said .'olin. I took a little stroi: out in the coun try the other day and COIIH.I ; back wus nearing Gluck .Mills, when I pass ed a little barefooted, brown-faced miss about a foot and it half high and a little brother to Hm Miss not nearly that high. Unexpectedly, the malden was net ?>\ "?evenlug," she remarked politely, while the kid' bro;ne.- Pi hoed, ' De ven, ". "Does you-all live at Gluck Mt?lB," I she queried, after th? salutations j were properiy answered. After admitting that homo wasn't | so very far from thc Cluck Mills, 'he little country girl said: "Don yo' wife need some hurter' This 'nts rather f .^iurrttssiiiir af ter a fashion, and I was forced to ad mit that I couldn't use the ? butter, but it is a safe bet that the clear-ey ed, self assured young lass of the country sold the butter to somebody. Not so far from that point was a little girl, fatter than the tl rat, but not an inch taller, who was carefully guiding a friendly but undecided pine rooter acrosB the road. Great concern was written in the face of the leader of the swine, which seemed still un decided. ; The look of coaxing which went with j much pleading .faded out of the face1 of the lass, as the pine-rooter Anally made up his dirty mind and went me andering off in the other direction. A serious disappointment was evident in the eyes of the little lass, at the de reliction of Mr. Pig. [' Speaking of dirt, tho little girl was riot a bit cleaner than the dirty pine rooter, but she looked like a natural product of the woodland. A beauty. ?She were. I Her face and sturdy little legs and t pretty rounded arms might mark her 1 the child of a race of kings. Who < quaked Inwardly at bigger" kings, or lords, who bowed an humble knee to kings, or yeomen, who trembled be-11 I for their lords. She looked a little |1 thoroughbred-an eugenic babv. -j ANGELES DECLARED AN EVIL INFLUENCE IN REBEL POLITICS (Continued frpm Page 1.) States." the statement continues. "TM other ls an American who has posed j during several months as a conflden tlal agent oj the state department for the revolution but who has only been a political attache and adviser at Vii la in International matters. he lat er has led Villa and Angeles io be llevo they could count on the sympa thy and the support or the Washing ton government. "Carranza 1B the first chief of the constitutionalist army, according to ?to the plan of Guadalupe. This lead ership cannot be tal.?ia from him un less by agreement of the majority of the military leaders. ' "The number of soldiers composing Villa's troops is about 12/j00. Outside of Villa's division, General Angeles has his own body of troops, bot .posed of 1,500 Federal soldier* and officials who have surrendered or 'deserted. to| l the constitutionalists and who aro bopnd to Increase iu number as An-11 g?les advances. ". ' - ('arrunza S'roo*,'. "The forces which are outside of Villa's and Angeles' divisions ano who have expressly manifested their adherence to Carranca number more thkn 50,000 men." I V fi rec?da and Cabrera after tile pub lication of this statement, said they had received no instructions from General Carranza to accept the invita tion to confer informally with delegat es to the Niagara Falls-peace confer ente. Both, however, intimated there was a probability of such a confer ence and that lt might occur next|i week. They were awaiting the arrival of Fernando Iglesias Calderon, lead- , er of the Mexican Liberal party, ex pected tomorrow. Durlug the day Rafael Zubaran, 1 chief of the constitutionalist agent? here was In ? communication .with Carranza at Monterey. One message from Carranza asked for further tn formation with reference to the pro posed Informal conference. Spurgeon says "The. thought that j the thought lies In the well of your heart, comet up with the bucket ot speech." There must be a green scum on the heart wella bf some can didates. ooooooooodeoooOooooo o o o .ll'ST rou I U S o o o o o o o o o o o o o o ? o o o o o o o o There waB a good^deal of politics In Anderson yesterday, und all pleasant and friendly. A lot of friends of liov. Blease were cal-^t to meet hor to pet copies of his St. Matthew's speech and to distribute them throu?hout the county. The governor had 100,0')? copies printed and to say the least they are "interesting if not conclu sive." The speech made over 20' col umns or about three solid pages in any newspaper, and none of tho pap ers could handle lt completely, and at the same tlme^glve bis oppmienr-s' replies. -0 Col. Fred H. Dominick, candidate for congress from this district, was present at this meeting, which was held at Solicitor K. P. Smith'a^ofnce at 2 o'clock, and he made a very clear statement of the miss o? lin; party to the men who came to the meeting. It was Impressed upon all present that they must enroll their? fip?vnftStfcs. although Mr. Dominick stated thai lie did not think the law would let them lose their voten if they enrolled thc names that they use in Jigning any legal papera. However, ail were urg ed to be on the safe side. Every one present was urged to get all of lits neighbors properly enrolled at once. But a month remains In which lc do I this. o - Some of the visitors In town jester-1 dya from the eastern part of the | county reported that "Citizen" Jos hua W. Ashley wanted to come to the I city on Saturday but that he was un able on account of the extrmee heat. He is better than he was a week or so ago, but is yet far from his vogo-1 rous self. Col. William I. Mahaffey, otherwise known as- "BHIj," came 'over from Wllllamston yesterday on business and gave the announcement that there j would be a rally of the Williamston No. 2 club next Wednesday night, July 1st. There will be speaking by sev eral invited guests and music by tbe I First regiment band. Every person lu the community will be given an op portunity to sign the club rolls. 'Bill" admits that he has been urged to run for the legislature, but be says iie can't see any fun in it, and be wants fun out of politics. There was some talk on the streets yesterday that John T. Long of the northwestern part of the county would come out for supervisor, hilt he stated that he has not yet been able to see his way clear to do so, althogh| lie has not decided definitely. Mr. Long has a most beautiful home, the | former r?sidence of the late D. K. 'iciris, and ht ls one of the big farm ers of the state. He has extensive I private interests to look after, and| :hi8 is what is holding him back. -<y It waa stated yesterday I bat Geo.. M. Fte fd would offer for supervisor, but lie has listed for the legislature. He is a substantial citizen and a few rears ago made a strong race for supervisor. He will be hard to keep rat of the legislature and he will make a capable and earnest repr? sentative when he gets there. -o J. H. Wright of Rock MMB entered the race for county commissioner from that section and R. Ware Austin if Belton for auditor. r-O Col.
