The Legislature has had a very inter-
esting contest over the bill to repeal the
law exemptipg manufactures from taxa
ton. In the Senate the bill was defeated
BY a vote of 1910 II, while in the House
itlwas passed bya vote of about two to
one. We have not seen the vote of the
members from this County in detail,
except that Maj. Moore voted for the
repeal in the Senate, and Mr.. scudday
spoke in favor of the repeal in the House.
We are glad their views did not prevail,
for experience has shown that the law
tends to develop manufacturing in our
midst, and manufacturing brings Pros
perity. The exemption only extends for
ten years.. In the meantime, the State
gets the taxes upon the increased valua.
ton of all classes Of property around the
factories, and at the end of ten years
gets the taxes upon the factories them
selves for all time to come. 1t tends to
increase the wealth of the State by
bringing not only money here, but popu-
lation also; and it affords profitable en-
ployment to women and children, who
are in considerable degree non produc-
ing population. 1t builds up towns, and
creates demand for all kinds of agri-
cultural products, which greatly benefits
the farmers around the factories; and by
bringing the mills within reach of the
cotton.feIds, affords home market for
cotton, which tends to keep up the price.
It is the best law the Republicans ever
passed, and we are glad to see our State
Senate conservative enough to retain it.

not Throw Stones"
It's amusing to see how tender-footed
Gel tain blood remedy proprietors have
become of late. They make much ado
about "apes and imitators," when none
are in sight.
The proprietors of B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should we
attempt to initiate, it would not be those
who do not understand the modus oper-
andi of that which they offer. Our own
long experience in the profession pre-
cludes such an idea. The field for blood
remedies is large and broad affording
ample room for all present aspirants. We
do not desire to close the door against
others. neither shall it be closed against
us. B. B. B. is the quickest remedy,
does not contain mineral or vegetable
poison, does not initiate, and is in the field
as an honorable competitor for public
favor. 4-2

The House has passed q bill to amend
the charter Of the city of Anderson,
which was introduced by Col. Rucker.
Il was introduced for the purpose OF
permitting the collection Of sufficient
tax to meet the interest and installments
to become due on the subscription to the
Savannah Valley Railroad, but instead
Of amending the Act authorizing the
collection of taxes to meet these bonds,
they have simply removed all limit upon
the taxing power Of the City Council.
The present charter limits the tax to
thirty cents on the hundred dollars for
city purposes, and in our judgment this
limitation should be restoted. We. be-.
lieve. nine out of ten of our business men
concur in this opinion. The amended
bill was introduced and passed the House
without the City Council ever being con.
suited or even seeing its provisions, and
without any petition, as far as We can
learn, from the citizens Of Anderson.
The point was doubtless not. called to
the attention of the author orthe Rep
resentatives, or it would have been cor:
rected. We trust this provision will be
restored by the Senate. By this means q
proper Limitation will be put on the city
government, without in any way damag.
ing the railroad interests. In fact the
credit Of the city will be better with this
Limitation than withou. it. 10

taken that would eyentuate in legislation
that would in some degree prevent the bar
barOus handling of stock, especially the
practice of logging cattle that had of
late become so VIGOROUSLY common. He
thought also the. in order that the cattle
men of this association might be better pro-
tected from loss by cattle thieves there
should be some Kind of a reorganization of
the legal fraternity in that locality. The
following applicants were elected to mem-
