POLL TAX PROBLEM.

The poll tax cannot be collected by law
unless the delinquent has property out o.
which the tax can be made. How it vii
be next year, of course, cannot be pre-
dicted; but that is the way it is now
Upon the refusal of non-property holder
to pay poll tax, he can be DISTINGUISHED
but cannot be prosecuted for misdemean'
or. This is according to Comptroller
General Norton. There are some 700 de-
linquent polls in Richland county, and il
is on account of these that the comp
troller- general has taken occasion to look
the matter up. He says:
"The confusion which has arisen in
Richand county over the collection OF de-
linuuent poll taxes is but natural when
the methods heretofore in use are remem'
bered.
at should be known that each annual
session Of the general assembly makes
specific levies for each specific purpose,
state, county and schools, including poll
taxes, and provides specifically how THESE
specific taxes are to be collected ana ap'
piled. :,
"Each session of the general assembly
since somewhere about 1885 made the
non-payment of poll tax nisdemeanor,
up to the session of 1886, when this clause
was left out of the supply act. The non
payment Of poll tax for 1896 and 1887,
accordingly, is not misdemeanor, and
the delinquent poll taxpayer cannot be
indicted as heretofore for misdemeanor.
ut is true that ip the criminal statutes
of South Carolina, chapter XXI, section
377, there will be found such provision,
but careful review OF the statutes ana
this section (377) will show that this ma
terial was taken from acts Of 1892, page
43, and has reference to poll taxes ol
1892 2-93 only, and is of force only for that
specific fiscal year. The constitution,
which went into force January l, 1896
made the non-payment OF poll tax to
disfranchse the voter.
Accordingly, the general assembly OF

- The American Federation of La
bor is holding its annual convention
in Washington. On last Thursday,
the following resolution was adopted /:
"Resolved, That we declare the act of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies at Lat.
timer in shooting on the marching
miners then on strike, was a brutal
and unprovoked massacre, inspired by
the coal operators of that section to
defeat the demands of the men for
better conditions. Resolved, That
ever ready to use in late years court
iniunctions, armed forces and state
militia ip times of labor troubles, is
only part of the insidious programme
to entirely subjugate the workers of
America for the most debasing degra-
dation. "Resolved, That we condemn
most severely the wanton killing and
wounding of poor miners at Lattimer
and will give our fullest help, through
the trade unions and American FEEDER
alton of Labor, to realize moneys for
the legal prosecution and conviction OF
Sheriff Martin and his murderous min
ions, that through the courts of our
land even-handed justice may be done
to atone for these revolving murders.

OCTOBER WEATHER.

York county, on the occasion of the Alli-

circulating among the people freely, goI
pretty good idea of the estimation in
which be is held. AS the result, he has
decided to make prognostications for the
month of October, which under date ot
September 20, he has sent as follows:
October and 2, changeable. From 8 tc
S, cool, clear and windy with light frost
on low ground. From 6 too, warmer and
clear. From 10 to IA cool, with rain. From
Is to 20, windy and cool, with light frost
From 21 to 25, unsettled; but warmer
From 26 to 81, cool and blustery, with
rain.

PREPARED FOR BUSINESS.

AS will be seen from the detailed an
nouncement on the third page Of this is
sue, the Ganson Dry Goods company is
now ready for business on more extern
sive scale than ever before. The COM
plant of Mr.. NJ. F. Jones, the manager,
has all along been that he was cramped
for room. He is still cramped; but that
is evidently because they don't make
buildings in this section large enough to
conform to his ideas of such things.
The work of removing the big stock from
the old building across the street, and ol
arranging the immense quantities ol
goods that Mr.. Jones has been sending
down from the north, has been going on
for ten days or more, and is not yet COM
plete. But, all the same, the handsome
and commodious new storeroom already
presents a scene the like Of which there
are but few to be found in this section. In
the new store there is considerably more
room than in the old. Already the avail
able space seems to be comfortably filled
but now they are engaged in piling and
crowding to an extent that was hardly
known, even in the old quarters. During
the past few days Mr.. Jones has bought
the entire stock of clothing of Mr.. J. j.
Hunter at bargain, and Mr.. Hunter
goes out of the clothing business entirely
This means, of course, that the Hunter
stock is to be offered at prices that will
make it move. But this is not nearly all
Heretofore, the Ganson people have only
been in the millinery business to a liuiit-
ed extent. Now they are going to give
millinery full attention. With this idea
in view, they have secured the services OF
Miss Helfrich, of Baltimore, a genuine
artist i'm her line, and have laid in big
stock of the pretty, up-to-date goods. To
wait on the big trade that is expected
from all parts of this and adjoining coun-
ties, Mr.. Jones now has force Of an even
dozen clerks, and also has arrangements
to increase this force to whatever num-
Der may be necessary. The Ganson peo-
ple are evidently expecting big trade,
and if wide.awake enterprise and thor
ough understanding of the needs OF the
people count for anything, they are not
going to be disappointed.

MEAT INSPECTION.
The Great Need of 1t Explained and
Emphasized.

In6 GreaC Ne6u VI ~ CNPAo'hoN "eN
Emphasized.
CLEMSON COLLEGE, September 90
Intentionally or unintentionally offer
ing diseased meat for sale is danger
GUS to the health of the consumer.
Since the judging of meats requires a
knowledge of diseases, in other words
medical training, neither the butcher
or grocer can act as critic, nor are
they expected to by the educated pub
lie. Therefore, person trained in
meat inspection-as a rule compe-
tent veterinarian-ought to be employ
ed to protect the butcher and his pat
rons. A centre of disease, from the
very nature of things, is the average
country slaughter house. Anybody
will admit this if at all acquainted with
the conditions and site of such prem
ises. Animals apparently healthy to
the eye of the butchers, but neverthe-
less diseased, are brought here and
killed: for instance, trichinosis, or cat
tie aud sheep harboripg the echinococ-
Gus hydrated in the liver, lungs, etc.
Potent factors concerned in the trans
mission of disease to man and the do
mestic animals are:
l. Drainage-Unless the ofal is re-
moved there is decided danger from
the decaying offal.
2. Dogs are directly concerned in
the distribution of certain animal
parasites.
8. Rats transmit trichinosis to hogs.
4. Otfal feeding-Offal, unless cook
ed, necessarily is prone to infect the
animals devouring it.
5. Segregation of slaughter houses
The greater the number of slaughter
houses, the more they are scattered,
the greater the chance of spreading
disease.
On the whole, few complaints are
made against slaughter houses unless
the odor from them becomes offensive.
At the same time the odor in question
is of little moment when compared
with the sanitary side Of the question.
Farmers and people living in towns are
primarily concerned. The former loses
livestock, the latter health but by the
thorough cooking of the meat consum-
ed townspeople can protect themselves,
while the farmer, as rule, is left to
take care of his interest the best he
can. He should take active measures
and demand state control of the
slaughter houses, this being his only
salvation, as slaughter houses are u.s.
ually just outside the jurisdiction OF
local boards of health.

1896, the first session under the new con-
stitution, left out of the supply bill the
clause making the non-payment of poll
tax misdemeanor. and the session o.
1897 did the same thing. The results are
that trial justices or magistrates cannot
try or imprison poll tax payers for non
payment of poll taxes for the fiscal years
1896 (including November and December,
1S95) and 1897, as there is no authority oi
law for such action.
"It is the duty of county treasurers tr
issue executions for delinquent poll tax
payers as well as for all delinquent real
and personal property. When the treas
urer thus issues such executions and de.
livers the same to the sheriff, the sheriff
can place the said executions in the hands
of magistrates and authorize them to col
lect the same with legal cost thereon:
This cost is S1.00 for the treasurer and
such cost as the law allows the sheriff in
all matters Of executions for taxes. In
other words, there is no legal difference
between the enforcement Of an execution
for the collection of poll tax and for real
and personal property SO far as costs are
concerned, and the issuing, returning and
settling for same. The penalty for the
non-payment of poll taxes now is dis.
franchisement-the delinquent cannot le-
gally vote.
"in Richland county the treasurer has
issued the executions, as we learn, and
he or the sheriff gave to the magistrates
a list of these executions which they have
been collecting with legal costs. Nc
warrants have been issued, as we learn,
but executions issued as above and costs
followed legally. o,
"Any delinquent poll taxpayer for 1894
95 and previous years can be indicted fol
non payment of poll tax, but not for 1886
and 1897.
"The decision Of the supreme court,
1897, in reference to treasurers' costs OF
81 apply only where warrant has issued
on affidavit of treasurer, but does moi
affect cases Of execution issued by treas
urer for non-payment of poll tax:
"Upder the acts of 1895 and 1897, war.
rants cannot be issued by magistrates
but executions can be issued by county
treasurers; therefore, this decision of the
supreme court does not affect or concern
the issuing of: executions or costs to treas,
urers or sheritfs therefor"

lied for sometime the truth Of all that
Mr.. Coffin has to say. What we need,
however, and the ability To get it are two
different things, and when we consider
that an elastic currency, after the plan
suggested, would be calculated to relieve
us of further dependence on New York,
we may as we'll give it up as hopeless
case. AS things are now, New York has
soft snap of it, and this soft snap she is
not going to surrender-not if she knows
herself, and she thinks she does.

The board of health of the city OF
Charleston, has warned the public that
anyone caught circulating "false reports
as to yellow fever, will be arrested. and
punished. The people are at loss to
know what to make Of the order; wheth-
er it allows a mother to suggest to the
father that their child might have yellow
fever symptoms, or what; and the matter
seems to have caused great deal of dis
satisfaction. The warning was, no doubt,
promulgated in the best Of good faith
but from the standpoint of common sense,
it can find little justification.
