CAROLINA AND
^ THE PROPERTY TAX
the matter with South Carotax
system? A great many
BBflp? hut the chief trouble is with
Ilroperty tax. As now administer^is
tax has developed an outlaw
sm of levying and collecting, has
uced gross inequality and injustn
the tax burden, has led to exjsntly
high tax rates, and has now
ted the breaking point as a pro of
necessary revenues. And this
Pf-4s not due to inefheient and
tiro administration, hut is due to
Inherent unsoundness ,,r the Inw
university experience with this
in Europe and in the United
Hp^Jl that it has broken down; that
HEts not been sucessful under
Hrict administration than where the
nuastrat i is lax i as it is in South
that the States which have
or abandoned the general
^H^J^Htax show no intention of reit;
that in the States where
property tax is required
^^^B^Hfcutional provisions (as in
), there is a growing
iemand for the repeal of such provisions;
that even measurably fair and
[ffective administration is unattainble;
and that all attempts to
Jrengthen such administration serve
mply to accentuate and to prolong
le inequalities and unjust operation
I the system.
There is a growing demand all over
outh Carolina for tax revision and
ax reform. Many proposals for addi
tional lorms of taxation arc before
the Legislature. Some of them should
knd will be adopted. But the first and
fundamental thing is to remove the
butworn constitutional restrictions
which at present hedge the property
tax around, and tie the hands of
those who seek to relieve and improve
the tax situation. As long as $:100, 00,000
worth of intangible property
capes taxation, no real and permanent
improvement is possible.
Mfething can be done to put and keep
huge amount of escaping intan'0blen

is essential, and the first step toward
a right start is to amend the consti- ]

property tax.
DUTIES OF SHEUIFFS AS
TO TAX EXECUTIONS
Section 476 Code of Law* 1912,
Volume 1, Page 169
"The Sheriffs in he several coun|
ties in the State, in making levies and'
sales, in making returns and in paying
over money collected under tax
warrants and executions placed in
their hands by County Treasurers,shall
be subject to the direction and
under the control of the Comptroller
General of the State as they are now
in like manner to plaintiffs in execution;
and the Comptroller is hereby
invested with all the rights and privileges
of a plaintiff in execution, to
invoke and obtain the aid of the
Court to compel refractory sheriffs
to discharge their duties in the enforcement
of tax executions; and it
is hereby made the duty of the said
Sheriffs, respectively, to make return
of all tax executions to the
Treasurer of their respective counties
within ninety days after the date
of issue thereof, designating such as
may be nulla bona and such as may
have been collected by distress and
otherwise, and within the same time
to pay over to the said Treasurer all
taxes and penalties collected by them;
and the several County Treasurers
shall, at the last term of the Circuit
Court in each year for their respective
counties, deliver to the foreman
of the grand jury a complete list of
all tax executions delivered to the
Sheriff for collection, and which have
not been collected, and the grand jury |
shall examine the said list and present
the Sheriff for any default or
neglect in the performance of his duties
relative to the enforcement of ;
such executions. And in cas any Sheriff
shall make default in paying over
within the time aforesaid any moneys j
collected on said executions, it shall
be the duty of the County Treasurer, ,
and he is hereby required immediate- I
ly to bring suit against such default- I
ing Sheriff in any Court of competent
jurisdiction, in which suit such
Sheriff shall be liable to treble the
amount for which he has defaulted:
and in case of any loss resulting by
reasons of the failure of the County
Treasurer to perform the duties herein
set forth, such Treasurer shall be 1
liable therefor."
Now you will see by the above what!
I have got to do and this is to notify 1
aii iaxpayeta that all executions in
my hands will be collected at oonce.
Don't come and ask me for more
time, for it is not mine to give, but
come on and pay your tax and save
ten cents per mile. Take due notice
and govern yourself accordingly.
Very truly yours,
J. T. Grant,

JOSEPH E. RANKIN'S RIDE TO

One of the greateit ride# In frontier

29, 1879, and bis command surrounded
on the Milk river In northwestern
Colorado. When Capt. J. S. Payne of
the Fifth cavalry took command of
the beleaguered troops and called for
volunteers to ride for help, Rankin
was the first to offer himself.
All of the horses In the command
had been wounded, but. taking one
of the least Injured, Itankln made a.
dash along the back trail and succeeded
In getting through the Indian
lines. Then In Die darkness he beaded
for Rawlings, Wyo., 170 miles away,
The next morning he met a party of
soldiers bringing up a cattle herd for
Thornhurgh, exchanged horses and
pressed on.
Ills new mount soon fnlled him and
he was forced to continue his Journey

hay camp and there ohtulned another

by noon Merrltt's command was on
Its way. When they camped at mid- 1
night, they had covered 40 miles.
It was the morning of October 4.
Eighty inllee away Payne and his
comrades were holding off the Otes
and praying for the arrival of help.
He knew that his colonel would spare I
no effort to cotpe to his rescue and
he believed It Just barely possible that
Merrltt would reach him by dawn of
October ft.
It was a custom In the Fifth cavalry
for one troop of the regiment to
guide another Into camp at night by
sounding "officers' call." Surrounded
by his wounded men, Payne lay In
the trenches they hod dug, listening
eagerly as the first streaks of light
appeared In the east. Suddenly the
notes of a bugle were heard and "officers'
call" floated out on tho morning
air.
In a few minutes the Utes were retreating

THE WOMAN WHO F?L _L
ATHENS.
THAT a courtesan should b- v?
ruled Athens, perhaps the pr?
est sent of culture the world ever
knew, seems strange to us now. I5ut
Aspasia was a woman of parts, who
taught eloquence to such men as Socrates
and Pericles, lier home was
a meeting place for the most hrllllnut
figures In the ancient world. The time
which we consider was the Fifth century
before Christ, but our learning
has advanced very little beyond the
point reached by that croup which
gathered around Aspasia.
She had many loves, and between
limes discoursed upon art and phllnso- ,
phy. Her beauty and her learning were |
equally celebrated. Socrates, on extremely
ugly man, forgot his philosophy
In love of this remarkable woman.
But she soon put bim aside lor
I'erlcles, the gifted, handsome figure
then arising to ascendency. Pericles |
studied eloquence at her feet and :
learned to love her, too. lJe divorced
his wife and went to live with Aspnsia.
but could not marry her because of a ;
law which forbade a noble Athenian to :
wed a "barbarian." Aspasla came
from Iona, and the people of uiiy other
nation were "barbarians" to the
Athenians.
Aspusla's brilliant mind, Joined to
that of the noble Pericles, soon brought
' him to a foremost position in the
state, lie was the greatest ruler Athens
ever had, and the guiding hand behind
his own wits that of the courtesan.
Then enemies accused her of heresy,
charging that she did not believe In
the gods, which we of course know to
have been merely beautlfnl fancies,
j Pericles plead before the scuttle ? "h
tearful eyes, and saved her life. Hut i
so great a man as Socrates coufd not |
! be saved and was put to death oa the I
j same charge. Evil days had fallen up- '
( on Aspusla's group. Men whose names
we now reverence were looked upon as
we would today regard anarchists.
They were called dangerous, unbelievers
In religion, and many worse things.
Herodotus, the historian, and others I
in that group had taken to retirement. |
Conservative Athens and the ignorant
would have nvne of their "new
thought." Then Pericles died. Aspasln
was left alone In'the world. However
she may have loved her lord, It
was not long until she appeared a-< the
patron of Lyslcles. This Lyslcles Is
said to linve been a herder at one time,
who had pained money. He was an Ignorant,
uncultured fellow, hut under
the guidance of Aspasla rose to he
one of the principal men of Athens. It 1
would seem as though she had deliber- |
ately cV>son for her genius a task so i
difficult as lending to greatness u ne i
who so little deserved It.
Wives of great men remind us of
it pretty often.
Some men are great successor in
making money, but terrible failures
in selecting ways to spend it.

TEN YEARS LATER |
opyrlKbt by Th? Whiiltr Syndicate. Iao.
DXK of the first acts of William J.
Flynn after taking charge of the
New York otiice of the United
tates secret service was to order the
rrest of two Italians, Vinceuzo Lupo
nd Guiseppe Morello, on charges of
laniifacturlng and pnsslng counterfeit
loney. But the Sicilians, anticipate
ag such a move, had taken care that
heir trails were well covered, And at
he trial they produced a flock of Witesses
who swore to alibis which efectually
prevented a conviction.
As Morello and his companion
assed out of the courtroom, after the
use against them had been dismissed,
iUpo remarked In a voice loud enough
or Flynn-no overhear: "Those pigs
r American detectives tmven't the
rnins to get the evidence they need.
.'hey'll never lund ue.'"
The mnn who later become the head
f the secret service said nothing at
he time.
It was three years before Flynn
gain came into contact with the two
talians, and again the federal forces
ad to be content with the losing end
f the argument. ^fl
Tills time the case was the famous
ne of the "Morristown Fives"?flveollnr
hills printed in precise imitation ^B

ron laink of Morristown, N. J. Flynn's H
nen found that tlie trail led directly ;
nto "I.ittie Italy" in New York, right
ip to the door of a grocery store flj
wned hy Qulseppe de Prlmo. But %
here, apparently, it disappeared Into ^B
liin air. w
Flynn Investigated the mntter very
arel'ully from tlie outside, but the
miy suspicious circumstance that he oilId
discover was tlint De Prlmo was.
mporllug a much larger quantity of
live oil than his business appeared tovariant.
On account of the duty,
dive oil is usually imported in barel
and then canned or bottled on this
tide?tlie empty cans being shipped
rmii Italy ready for use.
Feeing eertuin that there must be
omio connection between tlie olive oil
iml tlie mysterious counterfeits, Flynn
irst tapped several of the barrels conigncd
to I)e Prlmo. But these were
111***1 to the brim with ol! of the precise
quality mentioned in the bills of
tiding. Then, merely to make certain
hat lie had not neglected any possible
ingle of the case, the secret service
nan ripped open one of tlie boxes of
'empty cans." Instantly tlie mystery
vns solved. The cans contained roll
ipon roil of tlie "Morristown Fives."
nnmilacturcd in Italy,
In the roundup which followed this
liseovery, Lupo and Morello were
collided in hy ilie government agents
nl charged with passing counterfeit
noney. It was a moral certainty that
lie two Sicilians had had a hand iu
lie plot?in fact, Flynn suspected that
hey were the ring-leaders?hut none
>f the others would implicate them,'
tin 111 nine uivir selves. ut! IT1IUO
ind his associates weqt to the penlentin-y,
lull Lupo and Morello walked
>ut of the courtroom still sneering at
lu- "l.iaiii'uss American detective?."
I Miring the years that followed,
?ouiitcrfi itlng oj>eratlons and Illaek
[land murders, extortion and bluckuuli
of all kinds were almost traced
0 Lupo and Morello?almost. Appar?ntly
they worked as far west as Chicago
and south to New Orleans, but
?vory tfioo the notice or the governnent
agents started to close In on
Ihein, the pair slipped out through
tome legal loophole prepared In adrnnce.
It was nine years after the original
Lupo-Morello case that Flynn got wind
tf the fact that the Itnliuu colony In
S'ew York was planning a big counterFelting
coup. The only thing lacking,
According to the Information which
cached government headquarters, was
1 printer.
A few days later, a young Italian,
tamed Comitu, who claimed to be a
Minting expert who had been forced,
to leave Italy on account of participation
in a number of Mafia outrages,
applied to Lupo for a position. The re-;rult
was put through a grilling cross-examination,
but Klynti had seen to It:
that he was supplied with the properAnswers
to all the questions, and It:
ivasn't long before the secret servicelad

"Very well." replied Flynn, "we can

I'lien we'll nail the whole hunch."
It was early In the foltowing year?
en years after the first arrest and reense
of the Lupo-Morelln combination
?that the secret service sprung its
rap and rounded up 10 Italians. Durn?
the trial which followed, physl lans
