taxed upon what he does not possess. ln
his case his debt is taxed as though it were
a credit. A. heavy liability is construed
into a valuable possession subject to taxa
ion. The person who owns piece OF real
estate absolutely free from encumorance
paws the same tax as he whose property ID
mortgaged for nine-tenths OF its cost. A
Lawyer may hold this to be equitable anu
lust. No one else would do 30.
The suggestion that, il real estate be e2-
empted from taxation, to the extentol tne
mortgages upon it, much property will escape
taxation altogether, was not overlooked. IL
is doubtful, however, whether any consldera-
BILE sums OF money are invested by non-resi-
dents In mortgages on real estate in South
South Carolina. And, whether this be 30
or not, it is better that some property
should, in O measure, escape taxation, than
that system should be upheld Whlch
presses with crushing weight upon the
morsgagor, without in any way Tightening
the load OF the mortgage. This ls not'

tion, but 1t is view consistent with simple
Justice and with the interests OF the people,

Stricken Abneville.

The picturesque village Of Abbevllle has
again been ravaged by fire. Just year
ago the northeast side OF the public square
was laid in ashes, and In November last
Granite Range, one OF The finest blocks oil
business houses in the State, was burned to
the ground. The third fire broke out on
Monday' night, and has destroyed six fine
stores.
1t is hard for any people to keep up their
courage in the face Of so many reverses, but
the citizens OF Abbeville come Of good stock,
aud no siege Of troubles can long overawe
them. They have the hearty sympathy Of
their felow-citizens; the more 80, because
the confsgration in Abbeville, like that in
Ki7sstree, is the work Of the incendiary. A
ehort shrift and long rope is what an in
cendiary deserves. Only some swift and
terrible punishment will stop the barn-burn-
ing, the house-burning and the town-burn-
ing which are now 30 common in this State.

Face the Music!

The State and County taxes were due and
nayable on January Is, and as that day ap-
preached the taxpayers thronged the office
OF the county treasurer, waiting for hours
for the privilege OF contributing their mite
towards the support Of the State Govern
ment Hundreds were unable to reach the
treasurer's office before the close OF business
on the 18th, and for that reason, and be-
cause OF the inevitable delay In opening the
hooks. an extension OF time was granted to
February 4th. Strange to say, the taxpay-
era. who were in red.hot haste to pay up
when it was extremely difficult to get within
hearing distance Of the treasurer's desk,
cooled down as further time was given them.
Fifteen or twenty persons pay their taxes
daily; the hundreds are putting off the un-
pleasant duty until the last moment when
there will Le as great squeeze as there was
two weeks ago-with the difference, how
ever, that there will be no further grace, and
that the penalty OF twenty per ceHt. will in
fallibly att.ch to every unfortunate who has
no, paid his taxes when the books close on
Wednesday Bext. Taxpayers who appreci-
ate comfort, and do not fancy the weary
waiting in store for the late-comers, will take
the hint and settle their little bills before the
week is past.

The Adjournment of tho Legislature.

The House OF Representatives have re-
solved to adjourn on the 7th OF February
but their action has not been concurred 10
by the Senate. Until the Senate agree 70
the House resolution the question OF ad-
iournment remains open. 1t is Important
therefore, that the Senate move at once
They who delightedly believe that no
good can possibly colce out OF hadical
Legislature, laugh heartily whenever one
who has not (though sorely tempted) lost
his faith in Republican human nature, Ven-
tures to assert that measures OF public
benefit will pass without pay, and that some
shadow OF the reform spirit fingers in the
breast OF the members. To these birds OF
i,l.omen it was a sad blow when the House
determined to adjourn early in February,
and the fact that the Senate "bangs hre"
fills them with glee. They already cry 81

their favor, that some Of the acts OF the
General Assembly have been very hard
to swallow. But the Radical majority
are formally pledged to a policy OF re-
trenchment, and retrenchment will become
impossible if the Legislature refuse to ad-
iourn. Jobs will spring up, and find their
supporters, whatever the better members
NAV say or do. The work OF the General
Assembly is in such condition that it can
easily be disposed Of in week or ten days.

and they owe it to their constituents to re-

There are several Republican senators
who have been laudaoly eager in promoting
sound legislation. They talk and work as
though they were in earnest, and they can
not prove their zeal for reform, and their de-
votion to the puolic good, in q surer way
than by promoting an early adjournment

is now in the van. Surely the Senate, from
which body moderation and Intelligent ac-
ton are expected, will not disappoint the
just expectations OF the people.

The Aerial Telegraph.

The charter of the Loomls Aerial Telegraph
Company covers a vast number of possible
uses of electricity, all OF them known and all
equally undeveloped because of supposed nat
ura obstacles. But the project from which
the company takes it's corporate title is at the
first glance so wild as to startle one Into on
expression of lncredullty. To raise lofty
tower, surmounted by tall mast, on the high
est peak OF the Rocky Mountains, thence 10
send telegraphlc messages across the thous-
ands of miles OF continent, lake and ocean TO
a similar structure on tho summit of the Alps,
is DR.. Loomis's project. Bold as 1t Is, and ap-
parently impossible, If we can but divest our
minds of familiarity with the known uses of
electricity, we can understand that, In Itself,
telegraphing without wires Is no more won
derful TO us than the invention OF Prof. Morse
YVES to our fathers experience. No one can
get a limit to the possibilities of the subtle
agent called electricity; and although 1t has
failed TO furnish mechanical power, heat or
light 30 we'll as other materials less expensive,
1t is only ignorance that declares 1t can never
be made to supply all these, and to telegraph
around the world Without wires as wcii. DR..
Loomis has been experimenting with DR..
Franklin's apparatus, the kite, and the results
have led to the formation of this company.

Taxation and Mortgages.

The disadvantage of taking a purely
technical view OF questions OF deep public
interest is sufficiently demonstrated by the
letter OF A Lawyer printed In another COL
umn. 1t was the aim of The NEWS to
point out that the present system OF tax
alton is unjust ard oppressive; inasmuch as
it allows mortgaged real estate to be taxed
twice; first as real estate and second as per-
sonal property. The answer which A Law
yer makes is that The same property may be
taxed, in different hands, dozen times or
more; and that the logical consequence OF
The principle coutended for by The NEWS
would be to allow some property to escape
taxation altogether. 1t seems that A Law
yer does not understand, as be certainly
does not fairly state, the principle for
which TIE NEWS is contending, which is:
That, either the real estate should be ex-
empted from taxation, to the extent OF the
mortgages upon it; or that the bond and
mortgage should be exempt. We still think
that il is fairest that the real estate should
90 free: but what we contend for is thai
both the real estate and the bond and mort
gage cannot justly be taxed. And it may
surprise A Lawyer to learn that the same
question is nov agitating in New York,
where Governor Diy recommends that bonds
and mortgages upon real estate be exempt
from taxation, for the reason that 1t is i'm
polite, as we'll US wrong, to tax the same
Identical property twice.
1t seems, also, that A Lawyer does not
understand the manifest difference between
debts secured by mortgage, and debts which
are not 80 secured. A person borrows a
thousand dollars and spends it, and the
bond which he gave for the thousand dol
lars is taxed in the hands OF the holder.
Bat, in this case, only The possessor OF the
bond, or acknowledgment OF debt, is taxed;
the borrower has spent the money, and is
not taxed upon what he does not pos
sess. There is no double tax here. The
borrower may, however, keep the money,
or purchase property with it. In that
case he is taxed, as we'll as the holder
of the bond, but both are taxed upon
what they own and control. The property
which the borrower bought with the $1,000
is, it is true, liable for his debt; but that
property is his, TO dispose OF as he may
please, prior to the mat urity OF the bond
and the obtaining OF judgment. With
encountered real estate the circumstances
are wholly different. The mortgage is a
conveyance to the mortgagee; the mort
gagor is merely a tenant at will. The
property is his in name alone; it really be-
longs to the mortgagee, subject to redemp-
ton upon payment OF stipulated sum.
Yet the nominal owner is taxed IS though
be we're the actual owner. The holder OF
the bond aud mortgage is, also, taxed upon
the amount OF the mortgage. There are,
therefore, two taxes upon the property-one
upon the mortgaged real estate, and the
other upon the bond which the mortgage
secures. And, as the mortgaged property
vests in the mortgages, not in the mortga-
gor, the mortgagor, the nominal owner, is
