Imaginary Facta. to During the past several years, many people—property owner; and 4Hhcrs—have spent beyond their in comes, with the re-ult that they have impaired or lost their subitance. In like manner, the State of South Caro lina has been spending money with a lavish—a prodigal—hand, with the result that the deficit has grown to approximately five million dollars, with a probable increase of nearly a million thi s year. Such a deplorable Mate of affairs should and probably does cause serioUg concern to the mem bers of the general assembly, yet we Iftnd a majority of the representatives In the Hcus e voting for an appropria tion bill of $10,349,482 when the in come of the State is not expected to exceed" $9,492,039, according to^ news dispatches from Columbia. It is useless at this time to review the distressing finanrial condition of the citizens of the State, beyond call ing attentiort to the fact that they are crying“Tof relief from the burden of taxation, and it wa s thought that the present legislature wa< committed to a program of economy, end tax reduction. •The popular impression is that the House cf Representatives is composed of true representatives of the common people, with the “plutocrats” in the Senate, yet the House has voted to increase the appropriation bill pre pared by the ways and means com mittee by nearly half a million dol lars and now it remains for the sena tors to apply the pruning knife. It is hard for the members of the general assembly to under-stand that the people are more interested in a wholesale reduction in expendituie s than they are in “new sources of revenue,” for after a!) th c tax, in no matter what form, comes out of the pocket of the “ultimate . consumer,” •whether it be a tax on real eatatr, personal property, soft drinks, tobac co, ‘hydro-electric power, or what have you. Indirect taxe K ar e les* painful, perhaps, but they must l>e paid, just the same. ^ It is also hard to convince the “deer peepul” that government will be seri- oualy crippled by the abolishment of mine of the numerous commi'-sions end bureaus of the State, with their attendant superfluity of clerks and ■overlapping of duties. The businesses of many private citizens who pay for ail of these thing s have been crippled the hard times of the pa*t few year s and they have been forced to cut expenses to the minimum, reducing the clerical force and requiring the re duced force to perform more work. The amine thing can be done in Columbia. Fact is, we have never heard of any of those bureau heads and their un derlings suffering a physical break down from overwork. Of course, political machines might uffer thereby, bue the rank and 'file of the taxpayers are not particularly interested in keeping them running. just which clasaes of our rojKs are bearing nearly all of the burden of our present republican period ot antrbi- t pated prosperity. Below—you will hundreds of find a list of the atuff that has not declined in price: 1. Postage stamps. 2. Dollar bills. 3. Freight rates. 4. Taxes. . - ^ lir Licenses. ^ f 6. Salaries of political employees. 7. r Prescriptions. 8. Telephone toll?. 9. Electro light rates. 10. There should be several other ship ments made during the sqfuon. Farmers who have been feeding hogs for spring sale now begin ning to sell. Although the prices have not been good, those that were prop erly fed give a fair return for the corn. One farmer recently sold more than 60 head averaging 200 pounds. On Monday of this^week a carload, shipment was made to Richmond and with the improvement m the market we hope that a fair price will be net ted for the hogs. Shipments from other points will be made within the next few weeks.
