D. WV. HI. MANY ELECTIONS TO it.E MADE BY NEXT GE~NERlA ASSEMBLIY Columbia, S. C.,-T"here' will be~ numerous elections in the general usemnbly which convenes on Januaryv 10, and already candidates are look. ing to their "constituents," the memu. bets of the' two branches.. The chief race will be that for the asociate, ,iusticeship, left vacant b~y the last legislature, after many futile en'orts to break a deadioch. All four of the candidates who were in the race last winter will be voted on a gain, M. L. Bonhami, of Anderson;r Jessie I. Carter, of Bamibe'g; Senator ' J. H. Marion, of Che.1ter, arnd Judge S. W. G. Shipp, of lFlarenlce. It is, expected that a "dark horse" will be. likely entered when the voting is r~e newved In January. Governor Cooper is bedng mentioned ini this connection. -There will also be elections of seven circuit judges. The judges whose ~: terms expire in 1922 are I. W. Bow manf of Orangeburg, R-ayne F". Rice at Alken, John S. Witsoa of Manning Ethv'ard Me.Iver' of C'heraw, Ernesta SI Moore of IAncaster, Frank B. Gary of Abbeville and Thiomas J. Mauldin i of Pickenis. The only one of these races about ~ K. .which there is as yet any political '.j, talk is that for the first circuit, of whieh Judge Bowman is now the pre selng judge. The namoe of Maivin Mt. Mann, prominent lawyer of St. .Matthews, and clerk of the state sen ate, is being memio:1. t s a pe5sible 1 arndijatte for the .;rdwp nowv held M.C SMHTIV'S .'The poor , farmer fooled the Gq v erment on his reductions in acreage. The Burgau .now says they did not have the neney to find out early in the season :that the farmer had made a false report, yet they spent thous ands of dollars of your tax money or these reports. If an ignorant farmer can fool then what do you think the ginners might do? The Bureau reports acknowledge once that they were fooled. Why not fool them again? Taking th41r ginners' report to De cember lst-7,640,000-do you 'elieve they are, going to gin 700,000 more tales? If so where do yo think the will gt the cotton? It is reportet to you daily there is no mill demanm for spots. Yet for the last fivt months the( mill takings are far i excpss of a million bales each month as Judge Bowman will probably b( nominated for the place. Mr. Mant is very popular with the memoers of the general assembly, scrving non his seventh term as clerk of the sen ate. An election in connection with' one of the important state commissions will be that of the chairman, of the state tax comrmission. A. W. Jones is the Present chairman, but it is understood he will not offer for re election. There are numerous other offices to be filled by the legislature as follows: Two members of the board of visi tors of the Citadel the terms of John P. Thomas of Charleston and James 11. llammord of Columbia expiring. Three trustees of Clemson College, tho expiring terms being those of J. J. Evans of Bennettsville, I. M. Maul(lin of Columbia and B.

Two (ireetors of the state peniten tiary. Those whose term of office expire in 1122 are A. H. Hawkins of Prosperity and W. H. Canfield of An lersoni.. FEElIAI. TAXES TO lBE ICE DL'CED. South Carolinians as well as every body 'else will have some tax reduc tions with the beginning of next year whether the legislature does any re 4lucing or niot, as .the new internal venue act passed by congress will afford "relief" in a number of in stances For eixample, beg~innine: January 1 the eight perk cent war tax on all rail road tickets will be abolished. Another "relief" will be the abandon: ment otf the tax on soft drinks sold over the counter at soda fountains. Probably the biggest factor inth new law will be the abandonment of the excess profits tax. This tax brought in nearly $20,000,000 alone in South Carolina for the past fiscal year. The tax is still in effect and will not be abolished until January I. With this tax abolished the col ictions from South Carolina after iext year will probably drop to about tal~f the amount as of the p)resent isical y'ear. Instead of the tax on soft dintks bold at fountains a tax of so much a tallon on the manufactured syrup vill be inmposed. The tax on the nanufacturer of bottlecd drinks is also epealed and in lieu of the former soda nid bottle taxes a tax of two cents a ~allon on all beverages derived wholly r in part from corals or substitutes i ereof, fermented fruit juicep and 'ther bottled soft drinks and mineral vaters will be impllosed. A tax of five ~ents a gallon will be placed on syrups saed for bottled drinks, nine cents a ~allon for siyrups to be used at founi ains and four. ents a pound on car >onic acid gas. Any person liable to ay tax ont syrups, etc., as mentioned nIll be required to procure and keel) vated a certificate of registry from ;he collector of internal revenue o or >efore January 1, 1922. The 3 per cent tax on all freight shipments as well as the eight cents war tax on passenger tickets will be repjealedI as of January 1 and this vill mean a big saving. The tax on ;oilet articles and medicinal prepara ions wvill also be abolished with the ecw year. Thle five per .cent tax on owelery will remain the same for COTTON DOPE Do you know that the stock of cotton at New Orleans has decreased it) the last three weeks, when it should have increased? Do you know that there is only about 100,000 bales of cotton in New York that can be delivered on con tracts if called for. Suppose John Smith, Sam Jones and McGink has bought this cotton, and sold it to the, mills, what will happen to Deciember and January shorts. Do you know that there is always from two to thre.: million bales of cotton in farmers and merchants hands? I am not bullish on the mar ket, but just think what might hap pen if this cotton is called. Will say if there is 8.,340,000 bales this years crop, this is not bearish. Smith, - Greenwood, S. C.
