holders About Thirty Thousand Dol
I u s The Outlook Is Bright.
Last week industrial aud financial
corporations in Laurens distributed
among their shnroh'ddors about $30,000.
A considerable portion of this money
goos to non-resident share-holders, es
pecially holders of Mill stocks, but a
much largor port'on than Is generally
thought stays hero. For oxamplemany
pooplo think that the LaurODS Cotton
Ml Is practically oolongs to outsldors
whon the fact Is that a much larger
amount of tho stock Is owned by Lau
rens people to-day than they owned
when tho mill was built.
Tho National Bank of Laurens, the
oldest of tho local banks, has had a
successful year, and deolared its usual
dividend of 3i per cent on $03,000. The
statement of this Bank, printed olso
whoro, shows its deposits larger than
over before.
Tho People's Loan and Exchange
Bank, one of the big financial institu
tions of this section of tho state, paid
as usual 5 per cont on $100,000.
Tho Bank of Laurens, another strong,
prosperous and growing concern, paid
4 por cent on $50,000.
Tho Enterprise Bauk, youngest of
them all, paid 3i on$50,000. These are
semi-annual dividends, equal dividends
boiog paid in July. All of theso banks
are strong, safe, woll managed and
successful institutions. In tho city of
Charleston there aro succossful banks
paying as low as five per cent annually.
None in Laurens pay less than seven.
Tho Laurens Cotton Mills paid their
semi-annual d vidend of 5 per cent on
$350,000. It is scarcely realized oven
here in Lauacns that this mill is re
garded by many if not most men famil
iar with textilo affairs as at tho top of
tho list.among Southern cotton mills?
in other words, that for the six yoars
and seven months it has been running,
it has made more money than any other
mill in all this section and at the same
time is paying and has paid far higher
wages than tho average Southern mill.
The Clinton Cotton Mills paid a 4 per
cent semi-annual dividend. This mil',
too, is highly successful and prosperous.

THE STATE IS
BADLY BEHIND.
Spoilt More Money Than
Collected.
BIG APPROPRIATIONS.
Hard Puzzle for the Legis
lature.
Obligations Though Have to bo Mot
With Promptness?Tho Tax Levy
vras Too Lovr for Fxpendllurcs.
Tbo following from the Columbia
correspondence of The News and Con
or Jan. 2 will be read with interest by
the thinking people of the county :
To bog'n with, the State is now run
niug on borrowed capital. The money
which was borrowed will bo due during
the present month, and the State will
not havo avai'able funds with which to
meet the notes and they will have to
be renewed. The reason is that the
General Assembly appropriated more
money than can possibly be raised on
the tax levy and all other available
sources.
The total taxable property for the
year 1903, which Is an increase over
last year, is $193,000,00;>. At five mills
this would raise 9963,000, if all of the
taxes were collected, whlob is quite Im
possible.
The General Appropriation Act of
1902, In round numbers, voted the ex
penditure of $1,186,000, The only other
source of income of the State is from
the Insurance fees and corporation fees,
which will not run to $50 000 this year.
There you are. 1 A simplo mathemati
cal proposition which the General As
sembly will havo to meet.
Under the law the the State Treasu
rer is not allowed to borrow over $800,
000 in the aggregate for any and all
purposes. This amount was borrowed
by the 1st of November, not beoause It
was a pleasure to draw it, but because
tho money was needed to meet the ob?
Illations of the State, and the likeli
hood now is that overdrafts will have
to bo a^ked for to meet all expenses
prior to the passage of the next general
appropriation bill, which will author
ize the noxt loan.
The state Treasurer had on hand
this mr.rnlng $192,729.47. Of this about
$70,000 will be used for tbo payment of
the soml-annual interest on the State
bonds. This will leave $122,700 which
if is all applied tothe outstanding notes
would leave a balance due of $172,000;
bit tho ordinary current expenses of
the State Government are $-11,000,
which, If added, would make a total of
$218,300. No allowance is made for the
taxes which will come in within the
next few weeks, but it is to bo remem
bered that the taxes that have just
been collected will have to run the
State Government until next fall, when
there will be tho noxt colleoion of
taxes for Stato purposes.
The General Assembly will have
about as much as it can do if it straight
ens out the financial matters of the
State and gets the State upon a cash
basis. There is absolutely nothing
wrong with the State's finances; the
State Treasurer has met every obliga
tion; no demands have boon made for
money that hare not been paid; there
have been no delays and the State is
all right, but this thing of a State bor
rowing money and paying interest on it
is altogether wrong.
It may be mentioned that during the
year just ended the privilege tax
amounted to $81,714.91. All of this
privilege tax goes directly and without
interfprenpe to Clenison College, and is
expended by the trustee* of that Col
lege for the analyses, and in addition
to the Morrill, Hatch, land sorlp,
Clemson bequest and other funds, for
the ordinary operating expenses of
Clorason College.
