The Columbia State Of yesterday says:
"a great many people who can pay are
withholding the payment of the State and
County taxes in the belief that the LegiS'
lature will extend the time of payment

the tax extension resolution has passed
the House, it has not yet passed the Senate,
and it is said that there is strong opposi'
ton to its passage, and it is possible that
the limit for payment will not be extended
beyond the time now allowed, viz: Deem
