Increase in the number of tax collection, districts from 60 to 74 was recommended by Commission er Blair as a means of increasing the efficiency of the internal rev* ~esue service. - During the past ten years, he declared, the work of the ; revenue bureau has been entirely j trajasfbrmed and the number of taat- | payers filing returns has increas- ! ?ed. from approximately 600,000 to j vsir total of 9,000,000 annually. 1. ^Practically all of the 600,000; tax payers," he said, "dealth with collectors of internal revenue, but once each year, while under pres ent laws, the monthly returns re Quired of sales tax payers, together with the quarterly payment feature provided for. income tax payers, necessitates 15,000.000 separate transactions annually." I ... Mr. Blair also called attention to i -the danger of loss by fire of several \ hundred thousand income tax re- ! .turns and other irreplacable papers ! representing hundreds of millions ' of dollars in increased assessments because' of the flimsy character of the buildings in which various units of the bureau are located.

ROOT 'PRESENTS CASE FOR_CHINA Four Points Proposed as Basis of Settle ment of Chinese Problem Growing in Favor Washington, Nov. 27 (By the As sociated Press).?The full signifi cance of the American "four points" proposed by Elihu Root and adopted by the arms conference to guide its discussions relating to China, is coming to be better un derstood as the Far Eastern nego tiations pass through the "accept ed-in-principle" stage and approach decisions on specific subjects. At first regarded as largely a re iteration of . general principles which had long been sanctioned ?'?n paper by all the powers, the "four points" now have, in fact, become the foundation on which China's friends in the conference hope to erect a system of reforms that will in many respects reverse complete ly the practices of the past and present. , In this far reaching development the American delegation has taken the leadership by making known in a decisive manner that it regards the Root resolution as something vastly more than a few finely turn ed diplomatic phrases. The Amer ican position is that in accepting the "four points," the participating na tions have bound themselves sol emnly to ppvly in a concerete way the long professed principles of fair dealing toward China and to pro ceed' withort subterfuge to give China as great a degree of inde pendence as conditions will war rant. ~-. Powerful support from outside i the American delegation has strengthened that position and in the present discussion of tariff au tonomy, extraterritorial and postal rights the trend of the negotiations never has been permitted to stray far from the Root platform. ? In every case proposed solutions have keen scrutinized in the light of appropriate sections of the "four points" with the result that the four American prinicples have be come, in fact, as well as in name the dominating element of the dis cussions. - How this method of procedure will affect such troublesome prob lems as Shantung, Manchuria and the "21 demands" if they come before the conference is yet to be demonstrated. It is pointed out that the Root principles were cast in broad terms in their reference to Chinese integrity,, the open door and special privileges, but no one who can speak authoritatively has been willing to volunteer an in terpretation of these references as' they apply to specific questions not yet before the conference. With the questions of extraterri torial and postal rights to be dis posed of tomorrow through specific declarations now in preparation by subcommittees, there was an ex pectation in some quarters tonight that the subject of leases, including j those held by Japan in Shantung I and Manchuria, might be brought up for discussion in the very near future. China's delegates have'de clared their intention to bring the Shantung and Manchurian prob lems to the attention of the con ference as soon as occasion offer-^ ed and Japan has indicated re peatedly that she does not regard these subjects as within the pro vince of the negotiations. The at titude of the other nations has not been defined, but it is expected that some feature of the "four points" will be brought forward to guide in a decision. The Columbia Canal Case Columbia, Nov. 28.?J. B. S. Lyles, of counsel for the Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric Company, owners of the Columbia anal, an nounced today that if the state supreme court will grant a writ of certiorari, he will appeal to the I United States Supreme Court the j decision in 1 the Columbia Canal i case, rendered by the state supreme court Saturday, which confirmed the circuit court in its decision in favor of the state, declaring the canal property forfeited by the Co lumbia company, and ordering its return to the State, i The constitutional question ? raised is that of the act of 1917, de ! claring the canal forfeited to the j State, and the acts of State officers j therein authorized violation the im pairment and due process clauses of the federal constitution, upon the theory that there was no con dition subsequent to the Columbia company's title to the canal prop erty. The Columbia canal became the property of the Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric Company in 1887, by special act of the legislature. In 1917. the canal not having been completed, the legislature declar ed it forfeited back to the State, and ordered the attorney general's office to bring suit for its recovery, j This case was tried in Columbia. I in June. 1920, and resulted in a ! verdict for the state. It was ap pealed, and the supreme court Sat i urday handed down an opinion confirming the lower court. ? ? m ? ' Camden.

CONFERENCE CONCENTRATES ON FAR EAST Discussion of Pro blems Connected With China Hold Center of Interest at Washington Washington, Nov. 28. ? The armament conference entered the third week with the Far Eastern questions retaining the center of interest. The committee of the whole met to consider the specific declarations prepared by sub-corn mittees to express their attitude favoring the withdrawal of foreign ! judicial courts and postoffices with in China as rapidly as conditions warrant. The negotiations on the naval program are expected to as sume more prominence during the week.

Ac tion on the closing of foreign courts in China went over. ? ? ? Fire Wrecks Motor Companies One of the most costly fires of recent days proved to be the one which visited the Eastern Carolina Motor Company and The Columbia Motor Company, two combined corporations, during the early hours of Sunday morning, temporarily putting both of these, concerns on Council street out of business. The fire was first seen by police officers B. R. and J. H. DuRant from Lib erty street shortly after two o'clock in the morning. The fire depart ment reached the burning building very soon after the discovery of the fire. Both the front and rear doors to the building were broken open and two streams of water played upon the flames. Good pressure i was obtained from the engyie pump j of truck No. 1 and the fire gotten under control after the work of j the firemen for a short time. The fire was then completely extin guished after* the firemen had worked for probably an hour and a half longer. , The fire seems to have caught somewhere near a short flight of stair steps leading to a small bal cony in the rear of the building. At this location in the rear of the building there were a number of oil barrels and also directly under the steps was a pile of waste and trash. This part of the building suffered the greatest damage, a portion of the rear wall being burned out and the roof over this part of the building completely de- j molished. The building has a con- j crete floor and brick walls and therefore escaped a greater dam- j age. It is the property of Mr. C. i G. Rowland, and was partially cov ered by insurance. No adequate j or authoritative estimate has been] made of the total losses and dam- j a'ges caused by the fire. In the I building were stored 19 autoir.o- j biles and three trucks, nine of j these automobiles are a total loss I while the ^remaining ten automo-1 biles and the three trucks suffered severe damage by the heat of the flames and from the smoke and water. Several of the cars were new. The stock room, in which were stored and kept somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000 of stock , parts, is practically a com plete wreck. The majority of the automobiles had some insurance on them. COLUMBIA CANAL CASE SETTLED Columbia, Nov. 26.?The Colum- j ba Canal case has been decided by j the statt supreme court, in an opin- ' ion handed down Saturday after- j noon, the opinion affirming the lower court, which order the ca- j nal property to revert to the State. | This decision- means that the Co-I lumbia-Gas and Electric company will lose the canal property, unless the United States Supreme Court reverses the South Carolina courts. Attorneys for the Columbia com pany stated today that they would appeal the case to the United States Supreme Court, if the State Supreme Court will grant the writ of certiorari. The case against the Columbia Railway, Gas and Electric Company, was brought by the at torney general's office, under an act of 1917, declaring to be forfeited to the State and directing that the suit be brought to establish the right of the State in the property. The case was tried fn June 1920. in the Circuit Court in Columbia. Judge Townsend presided at tho trial. The verdict of the Circuit Court was that the property revert to the State, the opinion of the Su preme Court is prepared by Asso ciate Justice T. B. Fraser. It de clared that the canal was built for navigation purposes and that the State allowed plenty of time for%its completion, and this time limit m>t tin ing taken advantage of the prop erty should be forfeited to the State. ? ? <?

NO MISTAKE IN AMERICAN NAVALFIGURES Experts Present De tailed Answer to Questions of British and Japanese Offi cers* ? Washington, Nov. 28. ? The American naval experts presented to the Japanese and British officers detailed answer to their questions as to the naval reduction program. It is said authoritatively that no mistakes in tae American calcula tion were revealed during the dis cussion by experts, and an exten sive examination of the figures of all three powers as to the existing naval strength of each has not re sulted in any change in the original figures. ? o ? Still and $egro Found in Swamp - f Manning, Nov. 26.?A siill that j ?was being operated in a dense thicket in Santee swamp was found Wednesday by revenue officers and a rural policeman. A search was made for the o >.er but without success. The still was brought to Manning by the officers. It was reported to the sheriff that the dead body of a negro had been found in the swamp near where the still was being operated. It is sup posed that the negro was killed by the moonshiners for reporting the location of the still. ? ? ? Pinewood Annexa tion Commission Columbia, Nov. 26.?A petition from the citizens of the Pinewood section of Sumter county asking the governor to order an election on the question of this section an nexing to Clarendon county was filed with Governor Cooper yester day. The petition was signed by only a few %-oters and the section is said not to be such a large ter ritory. The governor appointed the fol lowing commission to examine into the proposed annexation: In favor J of annexing to Clarendon, J. R. j Griffin, Pinewood; R. S. Des Champs, Pinewood; opposed to an nexing to Clarendon, O. D. Har vin and D. R. Lide, both of Pine wood. Fijnds to Com plete Highway Columbia, Nov. 26.?Chesterfield county has signed an agreement to match the 530,000 of federal aid al lotted for the' Washington-Atlanta highway in this county several weeks ago by the state highway commission, according to an an nouncement by the highway depart ment yesterday. This will enable the road to be completed from Cheraw to the McBee section and will, when completed, leave only a gap of about five miles in this road from Columbia to Cheraw, in cluding work already under way or arranged for. Saluda has also signed an agree ment to match $6,00 0 of federal aid to complete a four mile gap of this same road in that county, which when finished will make this road very near complete through South Carolina. ? ? ? Have Black berry Wine Gaffney, Nov. 27.?The court of general sessions and common pleas j was adjourned yesterday after a session of three weeks. A large number of cases were disposed of during the week, among them be ing three cases of homicide. Mo tions for new trials were made in the case of Lancaster Elmore and in the case of Roy Kirby, but the motions in both cases were over ruled, and both prisoners were sen tenced to imprisonment sfor life. A | case which excited much interest j was that against two farme/s of the j county who were brought into court on the charge of having j blackberry wine in their possession, j one having about- twenty gallons | and the other about seven. Both j men were law-abiding citizens and ' had n^ver before been charged j with any violation. They are broth ers and live near together, and both assured the court that they thought they had a perfect right to manu- | facrure the wine in unlimited quantities. Judge Wilson took into consideration the good character of the defendants and sentenced them to pay lines of .$150. DoubteKfflmg~~ in Marlboro Bennettsville, Nov. 20. ? Last night about It o'clock at the home I of Tom Hair, 15 miles north of I Bennettsville, near the North Car olina line, James Sweatt and George McKinnon. both white, shot each i other to death. Sweatt died im mediately. McKinnon lived two \ hours. t Last Sunday McKinnon left with I Sweatt*s 10 year old daughter. They j had not married, ii is alleged. Last night McKinnon and the Sweatt I girl with several other persons were j a} the home of Tom Haire when i James Sweatt walked into the I house and said that h?- wanted to ; see McKinnon. McKinnon arose, when both men commenced shoot ing about the same time. They j both used 32 Colt's six inc h barrel j pistols. Coroner T. F. McRae held J an inquest this morning over both j dead bodit-s. Man Found Dead in Back Yard Head of Wagener Merchant Almost Severed From Body i Aiken, Nov. 23.?Robert L. Wil liamson, a retired merchant and farmer, and prominent citizen of Wagener. was found dead yester day in the back yard of his home at that town, with his head almost severed from his body. The evi dence tends to show that he was a victim of foul play, as blood stains were found leading- from his bed room- to the place where the body was found, which indicates that he received the fatal wound while lying in bed, and rushed out of the house before bleeding to death near a wagon in his yard. Sheriff Howard and Coroner Tar ver spent half of the night making an investigation, which thus far fails to show either the supposed ?murderer or the motive for the crime. The inquest will not be con cluded for several days yet, or until the people and officers are fully satisfied. The deceased leaves a widow and two sons, one of whom is a student at Furman University, besides many other relatives and friends. Interment took place late this afternoon at the Wagener cemetery. ? o ? Way to Stop Liquor Selling Church Members and Law Re specting Citizens Should Quit Buying Liquor Anderson. Nov. 24.?In Judge H. H. Watkins' charge to the grand jury of the federal court he em phasized that the 22 bills he was handing the foreman were all for violation of the prohibition act, and that of the 320 cases ready for trial 90 per cent were for -violation of the prohibition law. The charge which Judge Watkins made to the jury was very strong. He said that the people are now going through a period of unrest, .of impatience with the law and all restraint. Such unrest the world had never seen. "I do not know but that this un rest among the younger people is reflected by the fact that our schools are not properly conducted. \Young, immature girls and boys in the roles of teachers do not in still the right ideals, perhaps, into the minds of their pupils. It is like turning over the government of the family to t^he baby, to consider the children who are now holding the important positions as teachers. If there is one thing that a boy or girl should be taught while in school or college, it is self restraint, obe dience and respect for law." Judge Watkins also told the jurymen that "we may not think the law wise. In general discus sion, I find no man who does not recognize the use, or rather the abuse of whiskey. It has grown into one if the greatest evils the world has ever known. Yet now, because some people think the nat ional prohibition act an unwise law, a restriction of personal lib? j erty, a restriction of the right to get dead drunk, abuse the family, commit crime, etc., they are wil ling to violate it and see it violated openly. These same men think buying whiskey is respectable, yet i condemn the bootlegger for selling it. The buyer of liquor is certainly as bad as the seller. I'll tell you I see no cure for the situation until the respectable people stop en couraging the sale of liquor. "If I could go into the churches on Sunday morning and see every man stand with his hand raised and take a solemn vow to buy no more whiskey, I would know the prohibition question would be an I swered. "I am not worried about the bootlegger. He would be an easy problem, if it were not for the church members and others who buy from him. 'We seem to have established two standards, one by which we shall judge the poor, ignorant man, and another by which the better class, educated man shall be judged. "I would like to see the present let down in public morals checked. Not only in the violation of laws, but in the payment of debts. Some of us think nothing at all of our ob ligations, refusing to meet them, even though it means bankruptcy and ruin for the man we owe. This tendency is entirely too x revalent." This is only a part of the foree | ful charge of Judge Watkins, and applies not only to the western ; district, but throughout the world I at this time. i Burns is Released Under $1,500 Bond. _ Columbia, Nov. 25.?W.

Briand Satisfied With Conference Powers Pledge Their Moral Support to France?Poison Gas Discussed Washington, Nov. 23.?Facing each other in the confidential at | mosphere of an executive session, the delegations of the great pow ers exchanged frank opinions today on the limitations of armies as it touches the situation in Europe, but adjourned without making a joint declaration of policy either as to the European problem or the general principles of land arma ments. Premier Briand, of France, mak ing his last appearance in the con ference before his departure for home, reiterated the reasons that move his country to maintain the largest army in the world and sug gested that the only alternative would be a pledge by the powers to come to the aid of Franch should Germany or any other nation again threaten civilization. To this the representatives of the United States, Great Britain. Italy and Japan replied with re newed expressions of regard and sympathy for- the position of France, declaring their govern ments firmly committed to the de fense of free institutions and giving assurances that the French people had the*moral support of all the powers and facing their problems. But no one came forward with a proposal to write such a pledge into a public and joint declaration of policy such as M. Briand indi cated would be asked to induce the French Government to reduce its land forces beyond the point al ready contemplated. Neither was there a move to formulate a com prehensive program for land arm aments reduction like that under consideration for naval forces, and the meeting ended after designating sub-committees to handle the col lateral subjects of aircraft, "poison grases. and the rules of warfare. Tonight M. Briand declared him self well satisfied to take home with i him the oral expressions of moral j support voiced by the representa tives of the powers *oday in Mon day's open session There were indications that some of the French had hoped he might take along also a formal written pledge, but the premier was said to have real ized fully the restraint under which ! the national groups found them selves in dealing with the subject. In any case the "strong man of France" apparently is leaving the conference confident that his prin cipal object in coming to Ameri ca has been accomplished, and that if any attempt is made to tak-.i up in detail the question of land armament limitation the negotiar tions never will take a trend inimi cal to the army of France. The designation of sub-committees to deal with aircraft, poison gas and the rules of warfare brings into the negotiations several new elements differing from those which hither | to have occupied the attention of the delegates and their technical advisers. Since it would be dif ficult for the five powers to make an agreement on any of these sub jects without having the sanction of all the other nations for it, the expectation is that the work done here- will be merely a foundation tor a possble world-wide confer ence to handle such problems. Aircraft development as now proceeding under the direct super vision of the various governments is accounted universally as giving promise of sweeping effects on the commercial world, and it is taken for granted that no measure will be proposed that would seri ously curtail that development. The discussior of gases is expected merely to be a beginning for a world discussion and the problem of revising the rules of warfare must be in the opinion of the del egates, either put later into the hands of a continuing commission or referred to some world, tribunal like The Hague court.
