S C.-P for Writ of Mandamus. -<$u the ?t>th day of November ~tfte foregoing pet tio? vas ex h in the Court of Common Pleas f county of Newberry, praying writ of peremptory mandara us t< v pet YYallace 0. Goutier, aa?! lt ?aid county, to restore to hi? lt a nd tax duplicate the assessed - tion ot the personal propel ty c said iMuk as fixed by said ai Mid ike boards of township asst .and county equalization, and warda unlawfully increased b; ?aid auditor under orders'(roc t???pto>?eraeB?raL Tue petition alleges that the Ilona! property of tue said ban! retarued by R L. McCaughrin, r jtlsnt, last February at the vak 7 o? $150,000 lor taxation for the year beginning November 1 and ending October 31, 1891. Una valuation was accepted bj said auditor and in due course o ceeding duriug said fiscal year 'dose scrutiny aud careful inves tug Was sanctioned, approved adopted by the board of tow ?^assessors and finally by the I - of equalization for the county, was so entered in his books bj county auditor, as they finally 1 After this action of . the auditor " the board ot assessors and cc board of equalization the sait ditor was directed and ordered b Comptroller General of the:Stat increase the valuation of the personal property from $150,00 $530,000, and without farther aol ty he. proceeded to increase it ai enter it on his tax list and dupli The petition alleges that e _? effort bas been made by oral ant written application to the Comptr - G?nerai and auditor to have the c mil and lawfni valuation restore* th i t tx books, but the appHcal -have been refused. Being, tl lore, without any other legal rem or mode of red tees, suit is mach this Court for the writ of mandam Upon this petition duly verifk rule w<s issued requiring the am to show cause why the writ sh? not issu 3 to compel him to corred . -error and to restore to his tax Hst duplicate the valuation of the p erty as fixed by lawful authoi The return to the rule does not sf Mcally i deny the allegations of petition, but simply states that made up his tax books for the Co? of Newberry as required by law, "?by the instructions of the Comptrt General, and deposited the dupli? with the county treasurer, and. t his receipt therefor. The return equivalent to a demurrer to the p tion, and in the argument all its t igations were treated as true. ' . jurisdiction of the Court was challe ?~ ?ed, and besides this, the only ol trading question raised and arg wa j whether the Comptroller Gem has authority th na to ra? se the Reseed valuation of personal pr opt ?of a batiking corporation. After argument 1 held both iss m favo;: of petitioner, giving on <my reaaons bru fly for so holding, i TeserviHig to a later day time in wh f0:: -4o file .* written opinion. I proa . . now to do so because the matter ^of moment to taxpayers and to I . ^tate, ?nd ought at this juncture - be heard by the Supreme Court . feie the time for the collection taxes expires and while the Leg Ut ure is in session. First, then, as to the power of t Court to grant the writ, and whetl or not tlie writ of mandamus is 1 proper remedy 1 take it for grant fiat it will readily be conceded tl t > compel an officer of the county .* and portorcn a merely minister ar* plainly required of him by li **e writ of mandamus is the appi priate remedy and the Court tJommon Fleas has jurisdiction ?rant it, and in proper case wilt , PO unices expressly prohibited t statute. Thia ?peedy and efBcacio -.remedy will not be denied t .aggrieved taxpayers by the Coui unless compelled to withhold it 1 express statutory enactment. Counsel for respondent contend ?hst such prohibition is contained "Sections 268 and 269 of the Genei Statutes, it is a sufficient answer ; thia argument lo say that the ?rel iona have reference to t! collection of au alleged illegal ta ?nd Courts are forbidden to interfe with the action of the tax collect t)y injunction, m an damn a, or ai other extraordinary proceeding writ. The taxp >yer is compelle first, to pay under protest, and tin to proceed to recover back the ti by suit as specifically directed in ii Act. But the present petitioner is n< seeking to interfere with the dilti? of the tax collector, but only asks i .have the auditor place in the ham of i he treasurer the lawful val natu of his property and not that which unlawful. The petitioning ban desire to avoid being placed in tl -dilemma provided for iu Sections 26 and 269. and to that end prays th Court to compel the auditor to deli1 er to the treasurer the correct au lawful assessments of its properly a fixed by the only boards bavin juriftdiction in assessing it. The fact is that Sections 268 am 269 render the present proceeding not only vitally important, but essen tiaily to taxpayers, because it is tin only possible mode by which a tax payer can save himself from tin hard ordeal prescribed by these seven enactments. 1 hold, therefore, tha the Court has full power to issue tin writ iu this proceeding and that then is no other remedy known to law bj which the wrong herein couiplainec of can be redressed so speedily am , adequately. The next question is as to the authority of the Comptroller Genera to direct the auditor to raise thc ? valuation of personal property after ii has been considered, scrutinized and finally fixed by the auditor, the town ? ship assessors and the couti ty board of equalization, ile certainly has no such authority under the Statutes ol She ?tate. The auditor and said boards are the ouly perseus having authority to assess for taxation the personal property of the people and such corporations as batiks, and with their valuation of personal property, no officer of ?the' State can interfere, and with their valuation of real estate no one can interfere except the State board of equalization. As well might the Comptroller General, by his mandate to the county auditors, raise the valuation of al! the real estate of a county or of an indi? vidual or individuals after the final action of the State board of equali? zation as to raise the valuation of personal property after the final action of the county boards. In no Act nor section of an Act of the Legisatnre can such power be found conferred or attempted to be conferred on him. Ilia control and supervision over county auditors does not go beyond furnishing them with proper books, blank forms, instruc? tions as to general duties and the like, but not to the valuation and assessment of property. Over the action of township assessors and county and State boards of equaliza? tion, in so lar as their valuation of property goes, he has no control, and from their judgment there is no appeal to him or anyone else. It is final and the auditor must accept it, and place the same on his tax list and duplicate. If he refuses he can be compelled to do so by writ of man? damus. It is his plain statutory duty. It would be alarming to the tax? payers of the State if after their prop? erty has been assessed by boards specially charged by that law with duty, any one, may be the auditor or Comptroller General, could without notice and hearing increase arbitrarily such valuation. The same law applies to the assessment of property of the individual citizen as to a bank, and the law is equally jealous of the rights of both, and no more exacting in .regard to one than the other ? find, therefore, as matter of fact, that the allegations of the petirion are true, and as matter of law that the petitioner is entitled to the writ prayed for, and for the reasons given I signed the order of .November 18, inst. J. H. UCDSOX, Presiding Judge. High Tariff Does Not Hart the Rich. There is one significant and instruc? tive paragraph in the Associated Press synopsis of opinions, cabled from Paris, of the effect of the Mc? Kinley bill on our trade with France A Mr. Vanberge?, "who annually ex? ports td the United States textile goods to the value of 35,000,000 francs," is quoted as saying: ''The new tariff has not greatly injnred our trade in high class goods. Our busi? ness in cheaper goods has dim i nibbed considerably." In other words, as The Sun and tan if ^jj?3?efirg&i et ally have insisted, ??s ? Ihs^ebple of mod? erate means, or the actually poor, neither of whom can afford to pay fancy prices, who are injuriously affected by an unduly high tariff. Being unable to pay, they go without ! or buy an inferior article produced at a low price in this country. In either case? they are made to bear the whole weight of the tariff iniquity. The rich, on the other hand, are not affect? ed. They can afford to buy and do buy "high class'' goods, whatever the tariff lax upon them. They may object to being robbed for the benefit of tariff monopolists, but they do not ?offer as the poor man suffers. The whole tariff system in this country is aimed with lata! directness at the great mass of consumers, with the practical result of making the burdens of pov? erty, the privations of small incomes much greater than they need be. - Baltimore Snn. A Newspaper "Scrap.*' But it Didnt Happen in Columbia This Time GSKEKVIIXK, Dec. 2.-There is blood on the moon - in Greenville newspaper circles, and scrapping matches are lite order of the day. The Mountain City Echo is the name of a little afternoon newspaper started here several weeks ago, hav? ing for ita object reform tn politics of ail kinds, and intended to be a sup? porter of the State and municipal re? form administration. S. P. Britton and W. T. Crews were the proprie? tors, and B. F. Perry has been inter? ested iu its welfare. The proprietors had a serious disa? greement yesterday afternoon, and Crews agreed to buy Britton** inter est oat to-day. Britton alleges that '.rews drew a hatchet on him and had Crews prosecuted for assault of a high and aggravated nature. The prosecution was withdrawn after the case had been partially heard by a trial justice. To day about noon Britton, accom? panied by C. F. Dill, his lawer, went to the Echo office to have a settle ment. Britton began tn fix the base of some plate matter to carry it awaj', claiming that it was his privaie prop erty. Crews objected, and Lawyei Dill said something about the matter Without much ado or many words Ben Perry struck Mr. Dill a stinging Mow on the right cheek with his fist Mr. Dill returned the blow wi:h effect, and a prolonged "^crap" was avoided by persons si*patatittg the two men Neither was hurt, but the fight for a few minutes was a lively pace. Britton claim? that all the material belongs to him and this afternoon had claim and delivery papers set ved on Mr. Crews, who gave a bond The paper will continue publication and will be run by \V.
