A TRIBfUTE To the Lats Co!, aa t? Rev. Jane? v Denies. This noble servant of God and of his country, was born in York conn ty. South Carolina, on the 29th of Dec 1S33, and departed this life, after a brief illness in Georgetown, S. C., Jan. 9th 1904,, aged 70 years and ll days. After attending county schools, he pursued his education in South Caro? lina College, and in the University of Virginia. Convinced vthat he was cai led to preach the gospel, he commenced his preparation for this great work, in the Theological Seminary at Columbia, S. C.; under Dr. Thorn well, his ideal of a preacher and scholar, and his asso? ciate Professors, and graduated there? from about the year 1857, and was afterwards ordained a minister in the Presbyterian Church. He was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca C. McIntyre, of Marion, S. C., who preceeded him to the grave in 1892. Ten children were bern to them, of .whom three sons and two daughters survive. Shortly after their marriage Shey moved to Georgia, and at the breaking out of the war he raised a company, was elected its captain, and entered the service of his country and fought hard in defense of her rights. At Murireesboro, Tenn., in 1862, he' I made one of the most gallant charges of the war. There was a strong force of the enemy, consisting of cavalry, artillery and*infantry, considerably outnumbering the Confederates, and winch was advantageously posted. * Capt. Dunlop was commanded to charge * them r with his company. An eye-witness says : "I happened tobe jiear him at the time. I saw him straighten himself to his full height in his saddle. I saw the fire of battle is his eye. Drawing his sabre and turning to his men he said, '* Forward, boys.' Biding down the sharp-shoot? ers, clearing the woods, out in the open field they were met Dy a tempest of shot and shell. But nothing could stay the headlong course bf the fear? less leader. Passing between the bat? tery and the infantry, he sabered one gunner, drove them all from their guns and caused the whole line of in? fantry, next the artillery, to waver. ?oL Dunlop dashed on after cutting through the line " of battle to their rear, and when out of range of their shot halted to see who were left of his command. Seven men had follow? ed him through and were all that were left. Riding around their line, and out of range of their shot, the heroic little band rejoined their com? mand. By sun down we had captured the whole force of the enemy. . That battle secured Forest's promotion to the rank of General, and our gallant Capt. Dunlop afterwards " became , Colonel of his regiment, and was loved ! and admired by every man of his com? mand." Xt fifes been said that this charge was not surpassed in bravery by the famous charge of the 600 at Balaklava. Tfcis Regiment was afterwards sent to Virginia, and the General under whose -command it was placed, said to the writer cf "this, 181 have a man who can .ont fight, out preach, and ont pray all of you Chaplaina" In battle he fought most gallantly, being one of the bravest of the brave, and in camp he earnestly preached and fervently prayed for the salvation of his fellow soldiers. It has been said of him that ?he did not know what fear was. The greater the danger to which he was exposed, th? more his spirit rose to meet the emergency. And why was this? "He feaied God," and that delivers from "the fear of man, which bringeth a snare.'' James E. Dunlop was tender, laving, "courteous and "as true as steel.': At the same time he was bold and fear? less, in advocating what he regarded as true and right, regardless of the opinions of others. He exemplified in his life the declaration of a great man, "Better the generous foe, than the snaky friend. "\ After the war he devoted himself to his ministerial work, and his labors were abundant. But like the patriot he was, he al? ways took a deep interest in the polit? ical and educational, as well as moral advancement of the people. Ho preached the gospel in Georgia, JPlorida, Texas, Tennessee and Arkan? sas. Returning to his native State he labored at Marion C. H., Florence and many other churches, in that sec? tion. In 1891 he became pastor of several important churches in Wil? liamsburg. Later through his instru? mentality the Presbyterian Church in Georgetown was organized and the building erected and dedicated. His last labora were given to that and Union Church, and so devoted to him was the latter, that in a sermon he preached to them shortly before his death, be bequeathed to them his body to be laid by them with their dead. Th|s they tenderly carried oat, laying bia. remains to rest near that Sanctuary ia which bis last faithful message was delivered. All denominations attended his large funeral in Georgetown, and t'ie rail? road officials showed their high regard for th? deceased, by gratuitously furnishing a special train to carry his body for burial, with * the friends accompanying it. I Since his death the following has been published, "In all that goes to make up true manhood, James E. Dunlop stood preeminent. He cringed to no man, nor to any earthly power. He had the knack of making friends wherever he went. No one could be with this proud, yet humble man of God, without being brought under the spell of his great personality. He was a big maa mentally, morally, physi? cally. He was a friend who knew you in adversity, as well as in prosperity. He was no hypocrite. In fact his chief fault, if fault it be, was his blunt candor. "But while our dear friend i and brother is gone, yet we rejoice that he has lived; for his influence for good will not die. He lived the allot? ted time of man. His was a most useful life. He died in his Master's vine? yard." These words are true, and the num? ber throughout our land is legion who would heartily subscribe to them. His life on earth is ended. "His warfare is accomplished." And now "the wicked cease from troubling, the weary,is at rest". His true friend, Janies McDowell. Sumer, S. C., Feb'y. 3 1904. Plenty of "Pitt" at Osteen's Book Store. Jan 18-3t BURNED TO DEATH. Fearful Accident in Mayesviile as Result of Using Kerosine to Kindle a Fire. Mrs. Wallace Smith, of Mayesviile 1 was fatally burned on Tuesday night as the result of attempting to kindle a fire in the stove with kerosene oil. It is stated that a fire had beer burning in the stove but had apparently died out and Mrs. Smith after placing more wood in it poured a lot of kerosene on the wood. In an instant th6re was a flash and she was enveloped in flames. Her husband was in the room at the time but was seated at a table writing with his back towards Mrs. Smith. He was startled by a scream from his wife and the flash of the fire at th? same instant and turning hastily " he" saw her enveloped in flames. He seiz? ed a blanket and wrapping it around ? his w?fe he made frantic efforts to smother the flames, but before he j could do so she was sq fearfully burn? ed that the physicians'who were sum? moned immediately gave not the slightest hope of her recovery. She lingered until Thursday night, endur? ing in the meanwhile the most ex? cruciating suffering. REDUCTION OF FREI6HT ON WOOD. Railroad Commission Grants Material Re? duction in Rate on Cord Wood.

A New Association. Quite a number of substantial Bap? tists representing seven churches, met in Manning last Saturday to consider the advisability of organizing a new association. Five churches were re? presented by delegates and two by let? ter, endorsing the action of the five. Afierra free and full discussion on the subject it was deemed to be the wisest and best thing to enter into the organ? ization of a new association, the name to be left blank for a while. During its nameless period it will be known as No. 36. The organization resulted in- elect? ing Hon. Joel E. Bronson, of Sumter, as Moderator, and Rev. G. T. Gres? ham, of Alcoiu, as Clerk. Bro. Bron? son accepted the high office of honor and responsibility with a most appro? priate address. The brethren of the new organization feel that they can do their work in a wiser and better man? ner than heretofore. There are other churches which will doubtless join in later.-Manning Farmer.

The movement of fertilizers oat of Charleston has set in at a lively rate, and in the next few weeks the move? ment will assnme even greater propor? tions, as a result of the large increase in the cotton acreage on account of the present high prices of the staple. The plants of all the independent companies are hard at work and several of the factories of the Virginia Carolina Chemical Compauy, all which closed down last summer on account of the large stock on hand, have re? sumed operation. All the local com? panies brought over large stocks into this season, and it is well that this happened for it enables the companies to meet the present lively demand for fertilizers. The large stocks are in the nature of a blessing for there would have been serious inconvenience, if the factories had been caught this season with empty stock sheds. The demand for fertilizers is heavier than it has been for years. The high price of cotton and the often express? ed belief by men, in whom the cotton raisers have confidence, that the price of the staple can not go backward for some time, has induced the farm? ers to plant a large acreage of cotton, and preparations are making towards this end. All indications point to the largest cotton acreage in many years, and there will be consequently demand for almost avery pound of fer? tilizers that can be manufactured. But for the fact that the present price of cotton^ is high and is expected to remain high next season, there would have been mhch less cotton raised next season, for the reason that the farmers are in a better condition financially than they have been for some years. There is always much of a hue and cry raised in commercial circles against the farmer planting so much cotton. It is wondered why they do not diver? sify their crops and raise corn and other things for home use, but in most cases, it is not optional with the farmers what they must raise. Money is advanced to them by the bankers and merchants in the small | towns and in every instance, the money lenders stipulate that cotton must be raised, even to the extent of the acre? age, as a precedent to the loan, and the farmers have to raise cotton. The farmers have not gotten the full bene? fit of the high prices of cotton this year because, as is usually the case, the cotton is out of their hands when the top prices are reached, but they sold earlier in the season at good prices, and they have been able to make many improvements about their farms and besides have money in the bank, which would save them from borrowing. If prices had not remain? ed as high as they have, a large hum- ; bre of farmers would not plant cotton this year, not being forced to do so in consequences of the demand of the bankers and merchants. With high prices and the general scarcity of the staple, which insures good prices next year, the farmers are naturally going to plant largely, a fact which is evidenced as already stated, by the de? mand for fertilizers. . Fertiilzers have advanced aroout ten per cent, in prices, but this advance is not commensurate with the big ad? vance in the prices of cotton, and the farmers are not kicking against the prices of fertilizers. This advance is natural, a result of the great demand for the fertilizers and the price will doubtless go higher as the end of the planting season approaches, and the stock of the fertilizers runs low.

Mr. Moses Representing Tax Commission is the Author. The Measure Proposes a Tax on Incomes, on Inheritances, on Excises and Upon Franchises. At the last session of the general assembly the financial condition of the State was brought to the attention of the lawmakers in snch a way as to make them solicitous as to the fntnre. I The annual expenditures were in ex? cess of the annual revenue. The ' ap? propriations were kept as low as possi? ble without crippling any department, and a commission was appo;nted to investigate the situation and report ways and means of increasing the re? venue. This commission consisted of Sena? tors Mower of Newberry and Manning of Sumter and Representatives Moses of Sumter, Thomas of Richland and Tatum of Orangeburg. Their report has been published already in The State. In accordance with their find? ings, Mr. Moses, who is chairman of the ways and means committee of the house, which introduces all revenue bills., has presented four measures to increase the receipts of the State treasury. In addition thereto Mr. Jeremiah Smith has a bill to change the entire system of tax paying, but his biU merely regulates the manner of assessment and payment. Mr. W. J. Johnson has a bill to provide for franchise tax of one mill on the capi? talization of every corporation con? ducting business in the State. Mr. Johnson also has a bill to provide for an excise tax on the gross receipts of all corporations (except textile mills and oil mills) conducting business within the State. But the bills to which particular attention will be given on account of the semiofficial manner of their pre? sentation are the several measures coming from Mr. Moses of the tax commission, one of the most experi? enced, conservative and thoughtful legislators in the State. The bills which he has introduced are : A bill to require the payment of annual license fees of Corporations do? ing business in this State, and to re? quire them to report to the secretary of state. A bill to amend the law as to the graduated tax on incomes. A bill to impose a tax on gifts, in? heritances, devises, bequests and legacies in certain cases. A bill to provide additional measures and remedies for collection on past due and unpaid taxes upon certain pro? perty, which has escaped taxation. . A bill to amend the code of laws cf South Carolina, 1902, in reference to the State board of assessors and its duties. A bill in reference to the duties of chairmen of local boards of assessors and their compensation. WHAT THE BILLS MEAN. The bill last named provides that under the direction of the county auditor the chairmu of each township board of assessors shall make a can? vass at a remuneration of $2.00 per day and shall add such property to the tax books as has escaped taxation. ' The bill in reference to the State board of assessors would do away with the board of equalization of one mem? ber for each county, and would have one from each judicial circuit instead. The board would also assess banks and railroad property as wei) as textile in? dustries. The law as to income tax provides that $2,500 is the minimum income taxable. Mr. Moses' bill brings the minimum to $1,000 and provides that on all incomes over that amount there shall be a tax of one-half of one per cent. The income tax law as it now stands is a farce. The amended law might be of benefit. The inheritance tax bill provides for an assessment of 1 per cent, on every inheritance, gift, legacy or bequest when the same is $10,000 or more. This includes transfers by will of de? ceased persons, whether they lived in the State or were non-residents. Also "when the transfer is of property made by a resident or by a non-resi? dent when such non-resident's pro? perty is within the State, by deed, grant, bargain, sale or gift made in contemplation of the death oL the grantor, vendor, or donor, or intend? ing to take effect in possession or en? joyment at or after such death." TO TAX CERTAIN ROLLING STOCK. The bill to "provide additional measures and remedies for the collec tion on past due and unpaid taxes upon certain property which has es? caped taxation," is in the line of thc policy of the secretary of state acting as agent for the sinking fund commission. The title is a little mis? leading, for it does not apply to all classes of property, but to the rolling stock of shippers of meats, oils, cattle, etc., who use their own rolling stock. It ie claimed that such cars have es? caped taxation, whereas Pullman cars have been taxed as railroad property. The bill contains tbe following defi? nition : 'That the cars, rolling stock, struc? tures, works and appliances, of any nature or character whatsoever, pro? vided the same be used in, upon or in connection with any railroad, shall be deemed railroad property, and shall be liable to assessment as railroad property, for any years that the said cars, rolling stock, structures or works shall have escaped taxation from any cause. ' ' The secretary of state is authorized to colleect past due taxes on such concerns and to proceed to collect this tax levy every year by notifying the companies to submit a statement of their business within the State. In case of refusal to comply, the secretary of state is authorized to fix a valua? tion which be deems fair, and from this there can be no appeal. Mr. Moses' bill to require the pay? ment of annual license fees of corpora? tions conducting business in the State, and to require them to report to the secretary of state, is the one which is expeeted to be productive of revenue. It provides for a tax of three mills on the gross receipts of the following corporations, to be paid before the first of June of each year: Any rail? road company, express company, street railway company, navigation company, water works company, pow? er company, light company, telegraph company, parlor, dining and sleeping car company. Upon all other incorporations-cot? ton mills, fertilizer plants, etc., the franchise will be one half of one mill. In Mr. jeremiah Smith's bill the fee is 310 per annum for each concern. Another revenue ' bill not named above is the measure to license the catching of oysters, clams, terrapins and other -ea products.-The State. FATE OF A DRUNKARD. How a White Man Met His Death in Anderson County ? Anderson, Feb. 3.-R. E. Thornton, a white man from one of the cotton mills of the city, was killed about nine miles from the city this morning by either falling or being thrown from a wagon, the wheels passing over his neck. He was moving to the country to farm this year and was on a wagon by himself when the accident occurred, there being no witnesses. He was said to have been drinkiug and was driving very fast and was evidently suddenly killed, as his body was found only a short time after the wagon had passed a house by the road? side. He was 51 years of age and leaves 12 children. The Williamsburg Dispensaries. 1 The South Carolina dispensary directorate has decided to reopen the Lake City and Scranton dispensaries, in Williamsburg county, which have so long been tied up in the courts with injunctions following election contests. Mr. W. F. Clayton appeared before the board yesterday in reference to the matter. The injunctions have been dissolved and the dispensaries will be opened as soon as the dispensers can file their bonds and stocks can be gotten on the ground. Thus ends a famous legal campaign, which has seen many spirited skirmishes in the course cf the last several years.-The State. Senator Hanna's Illness. Washington, Feb. 4.-There was no distinct change in the condition of Senator Hanna, who is suffering from the grippe and great physical exhaus? tion.

A blood examina? tion is being made and a report will be made at 9 o'clock tomorrow morn? ing. If everything goes all right from now on we will have Senator Hanna up in a week and send him away tc recuperate." . Washington, Feb. 4.-The house ways and means sub-committee on revenue today heard a delegation of southern' tobacco growers in favor of the pending bills for the relief of growers by allowing them to stem and twist their own tobacco for commer? cial purposes without paying a govern? ment license.
