Nobody’s Business
By Gee McGee.
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.

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.

Thc widow of a man lynched in
Oconee County is finding some diffi
culty in collecting the $2,000 which
the county is-due her under the law.
Oconee officials, claim that they have
not the funds with which to pay the
judgment nor thc power to levy a tax
to provide th 0 nece-sary money, and
the county delegation has refused to

In our opinion, that is a law that
should he repealed. We don’t know
why it was ever passed, unless the

that the county may-institute an ac-
