Oh Jan. 28, 1894. ix on Capital. number of the North .Kovlow contains an ablo ont article from Mr. Eehols, or of tho currency, on tho .d vexing problems of cireula cr capita, and monoy. Mr. /contends forcefully that the solution lies in educating tho ?/to Intelligently omploy tho /Tos that are already at command, guos that if the habit were gon tnong Iho people to deposit thoir n hanks oven in small amounts, n resort to tho use of checks volume of effective currency swelled immeasurably. He '.es tho necessity of tho ae t by the people of correct and id business ideas and prac trongly puts the wholesome something to command jush rathor thr.n tho mere of money If what is most ?i ?>? s thut ono who d chattels is as hor or not coin kind ovor greets ii'so Mr. Kchols is jority of our biggost it. taking in tho no t cotton or corn or Mndei'8 or something nv exchange monoy, mnd loose in a gene i unrivalled by tho lambrosa" would uovcr us way into the depths ts. -,rsEH*ipnrdly expects to 'o the sensitive ear ids but 'Tpes and prays > thunderous Voice will arouse ?eople of these states to anac gement that tho wretched li lepression existing among mil their fellow citizens has all opr?nce if not the truth of a ?ing argument that something i.ully and menacingly wrong, lpleasantly manifest at this mo (hat the roputcd business con :i,sm of the East is now being to encase the capital of tho Eust uit it off fr?lii the efforts that rats of other sections are making ^ct it to just taxation. This Vtion is conspicuous in tho ?osition of tho Northern press political parties to tho pro >mo tax. Tho tax proposi beforo congress is vehemont .t, called shabby names, and I as socialistic by nearly luential papers in New York that eity's comme>oial dom well as tho persona, who repV 'Jl soction in congress) Thoy iu . . seem to recognize -i aimed ancapital, and that its is true. Thoy aro ablo to see no bt that tho people are alivo to the li/.ation that capital is due a much ger contribution to the support of ; government than it has heretofore rne and so thoy have rallied around itnd are ready to light. For the jsont wo believe that thoy will win. An income tax allccting only porsons ample income, and that is tho kind ntomplated, necessarily implies that boring men who have only what their ily toil returns will not feel It and < counter inforenco goes with it g the fund which Hows continually om investments, would be the real mtributor. It is upon the devising of system of taxation which will accom plish this that tho future safety and peace of this country not less than its prosperity is dependent. It is folly to ignore the tremendous political disturbance which is agitat ng the South and West. When a tr?ng wind blows the face of the ?arth is always changed ami sometimes \ Is strown with wreckage. A gale is ?owing among the producing classes, ruo, pitifully and disgracefully true ..s it always is, that the demigogue has grabbed his opportunity and made tho most of it, to the general confusion and checking of good progress, but the causes and forces aro at work nevor * thcloss. And this wind is dangerous. Itwore hotter that it bo porceived by patriotic Democrats that harm will ovontually result unless the patriots in the party put tlm governmental ship in shape to ride tho waves. It is easy to agree with Eastern Dem ocrats that the sub-treasury scheme and the railroad ownership hobby are pieces of such preposterous folfy that thoy do not deserve national attention, but if the laws aro to be maintained ^for tho Shcor purpOSO Of entailing wealth upon a class then a revolt is suro to come and dim outlines in front are not always spectres. We arc not writing a third party ed ^'?<al. We bolicvo that Democracy i ; he true theory of this government and that its principles will linasly shape its destiny but there are conditions which Democracy must me.et or there will be trouble and this one which exempts capital from taxation is the iminent one now. XAVo rise to inquire if tho large ele ment Of Tillmanites who aro now so violontly optposed to Third Partyism aro anxiously awaiting an invitation to ally themselves with the faction of Democrats headed by Hampton, Shop pard, Conzalos, Homphill and Wil liams? Wo never uao the black ball in politics. bites noed not worry them .bout Laurens Conservatives / on to Captain Shell. Tho 0 hjid ontiroly too much to do vc promulgation of tho Shell \ Wo aro "bourbons" onough ?w awhilo longcis -,-,? ?I Tho Irby faction claims to bo lighting a faction which embodies a strong third party sentimont and horalds it self as Democratic. It must bo con fessed that the apparent bigness of Mr. Bowdon among tho opposlto group looks suspicious. Mr. Bowdcn would probably consider that ho -was doing tho country a service by delivering this Stato to tho Woavoritos. Wo havo somo respect for Mr. Bpwden'u political motives too, if not his crood, and do not condemn his' independence, but ho ought to havo moro respect for himself than to allow his name to ho connected with what sots itself up us a democratic organization. Yes, Brother Bowdon has no part' nor lot oven among masquerading Democrats unless he recants. But Senator Irby, he endorses reso lutions which favor "all the Ocala do mauds," not one, twd'or three but all, including tho Populistio ones,?sub treasury ainKhe railroad scheme. The same resolutions favor a convention from which old fashioned Democrats aro to bo severely oxeluded. i There isn't an overcoming temptation to us Antis to become mixed up in tho em broilment. Reformers, put your hands to your ears and listen to the whips cracking in Washington this week. Close up, brethren, got in line and prepare to charge once more for the offices. Bar-keepor Ben won't establish many now dispensaries until the cam paign is over. It won't do. It's bad politics. The Prohibitionists must and shall be impressed. The legislature ought to establish the office of governor's guardian. If certain of tho parties mentioned arc elected such an adjunct will be found indispensable. Dr. Sampson Pope is a candidate for govornor. Dr. Popo has provon him self well adapted to tho office of clerk of tho Senate. Prestidigitator Shell and Dictator TiUman pulling together aro a stout team. When the wagon sticks in the ttfud you'll hear tho traces snap. Tho Evanses, Dr. Pope and Tindal had just as well hang up their wool hats. Sonator Irby is a great help to the telegraph companies in these hard timos. The "old ring rule leaders" wore sufficiently familiar with good manners not to call each other names. Conservatives "are lying supinely on thoir backs and hugging the deliw slvo phantom of hope." We gay old ringstors arc sucking our flngors and keeping clear of tho dust of tho arena. Well, brethren, you can't all bo Govornor at once. That's a fact; and it tastes good. Shall we go in with Shell or Irby? It's heads wo loso ana tails you win, Rcfawmers. ' How would Larry Gantt do &s a com promise candidate for Govornor? Ho is tho most typical of all Refawmors. "Upon what moat doth our" Bill Ellerbc feed that he hath grown so gloriously fat? ' ' If John Gary Evans were Governor, there wouldn't be a drunkard left this side of the State of tho Maine. There are some Tillmanites who like for their enemies to write dis patchos. As one of the common people wo mistrust a caucus held at as tony a placo as Wright's hotel. There's a mighty good paper publish ed in Spartunburg these days called The Herald. Now is time for twenty good Reform ers to announco themselves for tho legislature. Well, what has W. H. Ellerbc done that he should turn John Gary Evans' pretty picture to the wall? The new Reform judges are proba bly saving a great deal of bacon In this frigid political weather. Refawmers need to hold a "peace and unity" convention. P. E. Rowcll is ubout to start a pa per in tho city of Greenwood. If W. D.Evans were governor cotton would sell for about a dollar an OUnco, "On to Washington" is the TiUman* ite cry onco more. The woods aro full of in clpient gov ernors. Evans will be tho next Governor of Georgia. John Gary Ivings, Has many misgivings, So they say. Who is Ellorbe and what sort of dust is he made of? Why is Tindal's cake all dough? The burglar at midnight may bo feared by the timid; but ho is not so much to be dreaded as an Insidious cough, which stealthily outers the sys tem and undermines the constitution. When tho cough first appears uso Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, tho effectual rem edy for all such troublos. Notice.

It will save much time to Taxpayers, and also greatly faeilitate the work of tho Assessor, if any person, before leav ing home, will make out a complete list of tho number of acres of land and build ings, also every item of personal prop* erty, in the following order: Horses, cattle, mules, sheep and goats, hogs, watches, organs and pianos, buggies, wagons ami carriages, dogs, merchan dise, machinery and engines, moneys, notes nu I accounts above indebtedness. All Other property Including household. It is always required that the Auditor get the first given name of the taxpayer in full. Under the bead of place of residence on tax return give the township. All male citizens, between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years, on the 1st day of January, 1894, except those who are incapable of earning a support from being muinod or from other causes, are deemed taxable polls. Ami evory tax-payer is required to give the Number of their School Dis trict. After the 20th day of Fchiirary next fifty per cent pcnality will be attached (or failures to make returns. In eyery community there are persons who cannot read, or that do not take a newspaper. Those more fortunate may do such persons a great favor bv telling them of tho time to make returns, or by returning for them. The assessing and collecting taxes Is all done now in the same year, ai d wo have to aggregate the number and value of all horses, mules, cattle and otic: pieces of personality, as well as Ihn acres of html, lots ami buildings, and their value, that there \< in the County, and havo tne same on Hie in the C mi) troller General's Office by the 30th d.?? of Juno of each year; and from that time to the 1st day of October tho Audi tor and Treasurer's duplicate have to ho completed, and an abstract of the work iu the Comptroller's Office by that time, which will show at a glance, that the Auditor has no time to take returns or anything idse much between the 1st day of March and the first day of Octo ber but work on tho books and the blanks. Wo hope, therefore, that all taxpayers will make their returns in timo. O. G. Thompson, Auditor. Dhc. 5. 1893?5 -10t NOTICE.
