OFFICE OF AUDITOR OF STATE,
COLUMBIA, 8. g., December 20. 1871.
4 whether tho law authorizes the State Au-
dltor, upon the approval OF the Governor. to
extend tho time for the payment of taxes,
after careful examination Of all tho Acts
bearing upon the subject. and being unable
to find any authority for such action. but at
tho samo time knowing that extensions rave
been granted III previous years, submitted
tho matter to tho Attorney-General for .
legal opinion.
In reply to the question alluded to, the At
torney- General answers: II have the honor to
say. that the only section under which it is
claimed, 30 far as l am aware, that tho State
auditor, with the approval Of the Governor,
may extend tho timo for the collection OF
taxes, is the 147th section Of the Tax Act.
That section is in these words: III any OF the
duties required to be performed in this ACT on
or before certain day, by any officer herein
named, cannot, for want Of proper timo, be
30 performed, the State Auditor, with the ap-
proval OF the Governor, upon proper evidence
OF the necessity OF tho same, may extend the
time as long as may bo necessary therefor
An examination OF this section will, think,
lead to tho conclusion that it has reference
simply and only to an extension Of time ne
cessary for the tax officers to perform their
duties, and WAS not intended to. and does not
ia terms, authorize an extension OF time for
the paymeut OF taxes. ] nm aware that a
different construction has bcen acted upon
for the past three years; but now that the
question Is presented to mo for the frat time
Tor my opinion, l am obliged to say that do
not think this section gives authority to you,
upon the approval OF the Governor, to extend
the time for any other purpose than to allow
tho tax officers to complete their prescribed
duties."
The law. as construed by tho Attorney
General. in whose opinion fully concur, does
not allow tho exercise of discr etionary powor
to any officer in this mattor. would, there
fore, once moro bring to the notice of all, tho
importance OF prompt and punctual payment
OF taxes, as, under tho decision above quoted,
| cannot do otherwise than execute the law as
provided for in the 9th section of the Tax
Act, passed September Is, 1868, which says
that the penalty shall attach upon all taxes
and assessments not paid on or before the
18th day Of January.

whose constituency have been robbed of
their hard-earned gains. The Act was

County, where am personally cogni-

most every transaction in that County,
the State had to pay from three to ten
times as much as the land was worth,
and all the State has to show to-day,
that it has lands in that County, is the
voucher Of draft on the Treasury.
These fellows didn't stop to ask about
the title: the only question with them
was, how much can We make by the spe-
oulation?
The Manigault tract, in our County,
could have been bought for Sc, 900; it
was offered for that just previous to the
sale, and yet we find it invoiced to the
State for $4,000.
The Whitewood tract was another
swindle. If We trace the title, We find
that, in 1868, here Byas, who had been
very restive for the last hour, arose to O
