The New York Times has a COM
petent correspondent investigating the
subject of taxation in South Carolina,
He makes it clear that taxation is en-
ormously high, amounting in many
cases to actual coDfscation. The
average rate is four and a half pei
cent. This upon a iair valuation
would be very high-twice that OF
New York city; but the facts cited by
the correspondent so to show that the
valuation of property for the purpose
of assessment is very high, reaching,
in some instances, many times its cash
value, BY this means a tax nomi-
nally of four aud one-fifth per cent
may become tax OF 7 or 10 per cent
When taxation reaches any such pro.
portion as this, it swallows up the en-,
tire income from property, or even
more, and becomes c0nfscation.

THE LIMITED LIABILITY ACT.

Governor Hartranft has approved the
"limited liability act" passed at the
last session of the Legislature, and it is
now a law. This act authorizes any
three or more persons to form "a part
nership association for the purpose of
conducting any lawful business or occu-
patton within this Commonwealth" ;"
and provides that they shall not be liza
bic for its debts beyond the amount
which they have individually subscribed
The word "limited" is required to be
affixed to the titles of all partnership
associations formed under this act, and
must appear not only on the sign out
side their places Of business, but in all
advertisements and other official publica-
lions Of the same, as well as in all bills
of exchange, promissory notes, checks
receipts, etc, ,relating to them, Failure to
have this word expressed whenever the
name of o partnership association is
used, rondcts every person participant
in the omission liable for whatever in
debtednoss or damage may result.
Limited liability companies, which
hitherto could only be organized in
Pennsylvania when specially chartered
and incorporated by the Legislature, may
be formed under this excellent law with
ont asking permission of anybody. It
is simply necessary that the persons con-
templating the formation Of such an
association should sign and acknowledge
before somo magistrate statement, sett-
ing forth their names in full, the total
amout Of capital subscribed by each, the
character and location OF the business,
the name of the location Of the associa-
tion, its contemplated duration, aud the
names Of the officers, who are to be
chosen in a certain specified manner.
This statement, and any amendments
subsequently made to it, are to be fled
of record,in the Office of the Recorder OF
Deeds
The best results are expected from,
this law, which was urged on the Leg
islature by the most enlightened and
energetic business meu of the State
1t will cause an increased how of capi
tai into associations for manufacturing
and commercial purposes, and put al
end to the creation Of chartered mo.
nopolies, by giving any firm that may
elect the privileges and advantages OF ,

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair q splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and L
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

thlng from wall eyed h0rse to jumping frog
but had specially, which he wasn't slow in
advancing wherever he went. His specially

bills Of the show "The Great ArkinsaW Nut

the stove about what they could do. he'd begin

could always cOntriye to lead 'em of on the sub

strong hold. His name was Simmins-Lewis

about what be could do, had got EN- pretty well
excited, the landlord he put in his oar and

music footed up, and he started. and for a time
the shells flew in every direction quite liyely
but all at once Lewis jaws closed down on a
rouser, aud refused to open, and the spectators
were surprised to see Lew hopping and twisting
