Revenue derived by the State from indirect taxes amounts to as much as a state-jvide levy of seven mills on all-aMes8ed«pWpetty.' This means thirty thousand dollars in taxes lifted from real and personal property m Barnwell County. I shall work and vote for n retention of in direct* taxes as n means of reducing our property taxes. 2. I favor a reduction of all ap propriations where a reduction can be made without crippling the work of our State institutions and the neces sary departments of our State govern- men. I shall stand against waste and extravagance, in every matter requir ing an appropriation. I shall however, vote such’-eaBor.abie sums of money a* are necessary to care for the fast fad ing line of Confederate eoldien, the unfortunate inmates of our penal and charitable institutions and to provide ah elementary education to every boy and girl in the State, whether he or she be rich or poor. 1L I favor a repeal of the law cre ating the State Ta* Commission. I believe that it sbpuld be aboliahed and that the duties of that office should be plhced back in the hands of the Comptroller General of the State. This Commission has overawed and persecuted the people of this State long enough,and must be gotten rid of. 4 I favor the passage of a State law requiring all barks to guarantee depositors against loss in case of in solvency. Such a law has been in operation for years in a number of States without any cost whatever to the tax payer. 5. I stand for a business like ad ministration of our County affairs. I will not vote useless or extrqva- f*-.t appropriations into our County supply bill but will favor the appro- prtoBon of only so much money as is necessary to carry on the County's business in an efficient manner. Upon this declaration of principles I ask the support of the people of Barnwell County in my race for the House of Repmeemtatives. S. E. MOORE. The days lose IS minutes in sun shine this week.

This is one of the oldest industries in Barn well County, a charter having been grantrll in 1893 to the late Con gressman J. 0. Patterson and the late CoL Mike Brown to budd and operate ‘The Barnwell Oil Mill.” It was operated successfully for several yean and then sold to the Southern Cotton Oil Company, which continued to operate it aa the Barnwell Oil Mill. In 1914 the oil mill and gin nery were destroyed by Are. but the ginning plant was rebuilt immediately and continued in operation. In 1923 the plant was bought by Mr. W. E. McNab, who had been associated with thf) Barnwell Oil Mil for 22 years, and who continms to give his custo- mem th^same efficient service as in the past. The slogan of this concern is “Service ard sstisfacton for 33 years.” Arrested oa Asnault Charge. to Savannah Fighter Mike Owens, of Savannah, won a technical knock-out victory over Sailor Leonard, of New York, at the Vamp Theatre here Thursday night in the seventh round of a scheduled eight- round scrap. The New York boxer, who was out-weighed five pounds, was also out-boxed by the boy from Savannah. The Sailor, however, showed his gameness and absorbed considerable punishment for nearly seven rounds. He was on the defen sive moat of the time but on two or three occasions let loose a flashing at tack that had Owens worried. In the seventh round, the Savannah boxer as usual was the aggressor and pounded the Sailor with such •telling effect that he was forced to throw up his hands in token of defeat Owens, it is said, injured tfce thumb of his left hand in the last part of Hie first round, A record-breaking crowd witnessed the affair, the theatre be ing packed to capacity. Before the main bout, Willie Hoi land and Brooks Bennett, local boxers, battled three rounds to a draw an*i Leon Fikes, colored, won a technical knockout decision over Boy Hampton, also adored. Hampton knocked his opponent down In the first round fc*k Pikes' weight proved too much for the lighteg nun.

From what can be learned, the negro is alleged to have made an im pertinent remark about young Owens and * boy companion on on* of the streets hem Owens i* said to have cursed the negro, who, it is claimed, cursed the white boy. The latter re sented Britt’s remarks and is said to have struck at the negro with part of an automobile spring, which Britt icceeded in gaining possession of. It is reported that he knocked young Owens down two or three times. Britt was arrested by a local police man shortly after the difficulty and was released Saturday night under bond of $25 for his appearance at the Mayor’s court. Monday morning he was re-arrested by Sheriff B. H. Dyches under a warrant charging as sault fend battery. Returns Home from Stay at Hospital Double Ponds. August 17.—Mr. W. H.
