Tas SOUTH CAROLINA VOTE.
Away to Georgia for a Messenger to Take
- -eit to Washington.
r
[The State, 18th.]
The electoral college of South Caro
lina met in the Secretary of State's
e office yesterday, and it has "done gone
and done it." . It has elected T. L'Ari
oso Gantt to be its messenger "trusty
B and true," to bear the votes to the
National capital.
All the members of the commission
were present as follows: Ernest Gary,
J. Win. Stokes, C. C. Tracy, L. P.
I Walker, S. A. Nettles, J. H. McCalla,
- J. S. Hart, J. Steele Brice and T. S.
Williams.
The ballot of the commission was
cast for Grover Cleveland and Adlai
Stevenson, and the nine certificates
I were made out and duly signed.
When the matter of selecting a mes
senger to Washington came up, the
name of T. L'Arioso Gantt was pre
- sented, and there was none other.
I The question of his eligibility at once
arose.. The matter was referred to a
special committee consisting of Messrs.
1 Gray, Tracy and Hart, to examine into
the law and report as to his eligibility.
Thecommittee, orthe majority thereof,
reported finding that Mr. Gantt was
ineligible. Mr. Gary, the newly elect
' ed judge, submitted a minority report,
r claiming that Mr. Gantt was eligible.
P When it came to a vote before the
commission as to whether Mr. Gantt
should be elected or not four of the
B niine members voted for each other,
- and Mr. Gantt was elected by one vote
only, the remaining fve voting for him.
Those who did not vote for Mr. Gantt
were Messrs. Stokes, Nettles, Brice and
Tracy, ali.good Administration men.
So it is seen that while L'Arioeo
will carry the South Carolina returns,
his election was very far from being an
honor or even a compliment to him.
The majority of the committee sup
ported their positions on the following
grounds: Thtat under a decision of the
Supreme Coust of the United States
reported in 6 Wallace, an office was de
n fned tobe any position filled by gov
enmental a intment, -and combin
inlg tenure, dration, enrollment, and
duty. All thes'e were combineda the
messenger, the tenure though short
being defined, his duty being clear, a
punishment provided by non compli
ance or misfeasance and the enroll
mets provided by Statute, that the
messenger was a State officer; his cre
ators being State officers, as decided in
Green vs. Fitzgerald, 10) Supreme
Court report and that Se.l1 of Art.
XIV of the Constitutioni of South Caro
Slina phibited one not possessing the
v ulfctions of a voter from being an
~ fieholder.
Mr. Gary gives the following as his
Vreasons for submitting a mmnority re
t port:
"My reasons for the minority report
are as follows:
"The act of Congress regulating elec
Stions for President and Vice President
- does not specify how the vote of the
t electoral college shall be transmitted to
Washingtoni. The only authority
therefore by which~ it is governed is
contained in the act of the General
t Assembly of South Carolina of 1889,
r Section 157, which reads as follows:
"Such electors shall then, by writ
ring under their hands or under the
r hands of a majority-of them, appoint
1 a person to take charge of the list so
sealed up and to deliver the same to the
n resident of the Senate of the United
States at the seat of the government
before the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary, then next ensuing.
"From my construction of the act
t the only qualification is that the mesa
5 senger must be a person and not neces
a sarily a qualified elector.".
Mr. Brice states that when it came
t signing Mr. Gantt's commission, he
reue odo so. The -messenger to
lWashington will not be overwhelmed
s by the compliment.

THE TYRANNY OF TAXATION.
Comptroller Eilerbe's Move Against the
Corporations, Whose Returns do not
Come up to the Administrat:on
Standard.
[Special toNews, and Courie: ] t
COLUmBIA, January 7.-Compt: :er
General Ellerbe was busy to-day
paring the circular of instructio:.- z t
county auditors, by wnich he proposes <
to carry out the ideas he attempted to c
put into execution last year. The 1
Courts objected to his ideas of raising
tax returns, and he now thinks that he
has all of the necessary authority by
which to raise the returns to. conform
to his original plan.
The work of preparing the circular
was finished by gas light. The all im
portant instructions read as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
OFFICE"OFCOMPTBOLLER GENERAL. C
COLUMBIA, S. C., 7th Jan., 1693.
Mr. , Auditor---: Your
attention is hereby directed to the fol
lowing Act:
"To amend and declare the law in
reference to the duties and powers of
county auditors in reference to the t
assessment of property for taxation, t
when a false, fraudulent or other int
proper return has been made."
After the enacting words this law
provides:
. That from and after the passage of
this Act the assessment of property for
taxation shall.be deemed and held to
be a step in the collection of taxes.
Section 2. That Sections 239, 240, 241, .
242, 243 and 244 of Chapters XI of the
General Statutes, relating to the assess
ment and taxation of property, be and -
the same are hereby, declared to be in C
full force and effect, and shall be con- I
strued to mean as giving full and com- I
plete power to the county auditors
independent of any rights conferred I
upon county boards of assessors or other
officers as to securing a fall and com
plete return of property for taxation in
all cases as expressed in said sections
whether fraudulently or otherwise im
properly or incompletely made.
Section 3. That the a,;tion of the
county auditor set forth in the 2d see
tion of the Act shall not be interfered
with by any Court. of this State by
mandamus, summary process, or any
other proceeding; but the taxpayer
shall have the right, and no other, to
pay his tax on such return under pro
test as now provided by law. t
Section 4. That, etc. Approved by
- , December 23, 1892.
There can be no doubts under this
law as to the duties and powers of coun
ty auditors, and they will be expected
to-observe carefully the sections of the
General Statutes construed by this Act
and will be heldto a strict performance
of their duties as required by these sec- t
tions thus construed under the instruc- i
tions heretofore given. by this office in
circular form.
Much of the success or failure to as
certain the whereabauts and value of
all taxable property and have it placed
upon the tax books is due to the in
efficient order and inefficient manage- t
ment of the auditors of the respective s
counties.
All taxpayers are required by law to t
return all their taxable personal pro
perty between the 1st of January and
the 20th day of Februury, 1893, for
taxation. Real estate is not returned
this year. 1
All personal property not returned, 1
falsely returned, partially returned, or
returned at less than its true value in
money, is liable to a penalty of 50 per
cent.
It is the duty of the auditor while
taking returns to make such inquiries
and investigations as he may deem -ne- 1
cessary to secure a full return of all:
taxable property at its true value, and 1
any auditor accepting a return fromi1
any taxpayer when he suspects or has 1
reason to believe that such return is not
correct or full is derelict in his official
duties.
Millions ofdollarsof taxable property
annually escape taxation in this State,
such as cash, mortgages and other4
credits, which should be carefully
looked after and placed upon your tar
duplicates and made to bear their just
portion of taxation.
Auditors are urged to the exercise of4
proper diligence in this matter of taking
returns and if the law is wisely, judi
ciously and firmly enforced miuch
of the evils now suff'ered will1
be remedied and the taxable prop
erty greatly increased by getting upon
the tax books every class oftaxable
Care should be ta.ken in making the
valuations made by the taxpayers of
personal property as nearly uniform -
throughout the county as possible.
In the selection of assessors great 1
care should be exercised, an'l the best,4
most impartial and intelligent men
should be taken. (Assessors are ap- I
pointed annually-under the law.)4
One of the greate.st hindrances to the
proper valuation of all properties is the
gross irregularities of values as made by
the different communities. As far as
may be possible.let's have a full, fair,
and equitable return and valuations.
"All executors, sdmiinistrators, guar

WILL REvJv:g "LD ISSUES.
[Special to News and Courior.]
COLMBA, January 8.-Watch the,
banking institutious of tl.e S:ate follow
the example of the National Ban k of
New berry, which reduced its surplus
$7,000, and in that way will have $412
less taxes to pay next fall. Of course
the circular of instructions of C7omp
troller G3eneral Ellerbe will prov~e
especially interesting to the banks,
phosphate compamies, factories, mills
and corporations of all kinds that have
accumulated a surplus with which to
conduct a successful business. For the
very same reasons that the corpora
ions last year fought the raising of~
their taxes they will do so again. They
contended at that time that their assess
ment, as ordered by the Comptroller
General, was unjust because of its in
equality with other tax standards. It
was not so mi,ucht a.fight on technicali
ties ason what the corporations thought 1
were their rights.
Wheter Comptrolle3r General Ellerbe I
will atfemipt to repeat his crusade
against the banks remains to be seen,1
as nothing can be anticipated until
ifter the returns are made and they are
passed upon by th6 boards of assssors.
Mr. Ellerbe will probiably-again insist'
upon having the banks return their 1
stock at their "market" value, as based
upon the books, and this will naturally
precipitate another and perhaps moreI
vigorous fight. He is, however, per
fectly sincere and honest in what he is
doing and will do all the more to carry
out his peculiar ideas. It can hardly,
however, be said that the Supreme
Court's decision is as favorable towards:
his course as was the Legislature. It
.. estimated- that the "raise" of the
Comptroller General over the returns
of personal property last year amounted
to about two million dollars.
It will readily be seen that the big
stakes are being played for, and .that
there is not very much use for either
side to do any "bluffing." Last year
when there was a similar 'contest the
banks were preparing to reduce their
rlus. Some of them succeeded, and
if e polcy is continiid there will be
many more. The. resut will be that
thei- will not be si uch money to
loan toghthe bajan The Admin
s.. tIu howeer: h that the
)anks can better afford to make the
.nterest on its money than to distrib
ite it amorg its stockholders. That G
*emains to be seen, and it is most like
y as dangerous as it is an unwarranted
xperiment.
The entire question has been so
:horoughly discussed that until some
hing new develops itself it is useless
o "thrash the old straw." g
The circular letter is substantially e
he same as that issued last year, ex
epting that it is prepared by the re
entiy enacted law and a reminder to ic
he auditors that most of the success
)f the law depends on them. TI

Reduce Cotton Acreage..
re
MEPrIs, Jan. 7.-B. J. West, secre
;ary of the cotton bureau of theNation
i Farmers' Alliance, has issued an Tb
rddress to the order advising a reduc
,ion of acreage of cotton planting. He
ays that the Southern States produced an
i5 per cent of the cotton grown and 82
uer cent of the staple availbble for use ps
n this country. He holds that cotton pa
nills in-the South are desirable, but ne
inattainable, this not being a manu- p
aeturing country. The salvation of the n<
southern farmer is diversification of a
~rops and living at home, instead ofp
epending on the pork packers of the a
sorth for food. He points out, in sup- a
ort of this argument, that the reduo- p
ion of the crop this season resulted in bi
i marked increese in price, and iusists st
hat cotton planters can secure fair p
rices every season by keeping produc- ar
ion within reasonable bounds.

Prohibitionist Ne.ttles.
[The State, 10th.] L
Mr. S. A. Nettles, the prohibition pi
eader,was in the city yesterday. When or
isked for hris views on the Dispensary w
aw, he said that he thought the out- w
nd-out prohibitionists were ready to ci
rive it a trial. He believes that it will tlh
e impossible in the larger portion of til
e State to get the freeholders to sign dII
be petitions and that it will in reality
mount to total prohibition.
He don't think that there will be
auy attempts at run3'ing " blind
iters." He thinks that the prohibi
.ion question as a national and a State
ssue is now entirely out of politics in
south Carolina, which is not exactly
vhat the prohibitionists wanted.
