Bill to Reduce War Taxes.

Washington, November 2l.-Thc sub
committee OF the Republican membership
OF the Ways and Means Committee held
a short session to day and adjourned
until Monday. The subcommittee has
not yet completed the draft of the bill
to reduce the war taxes, but is making
progress 1T is stated that it is not likely
that the general outline agreed upon will
be changed before the bill goes to the
full committee unless there is n great
pressure among Republican members ms
they arrive in tho city. 1t is understood
that in addition to reductions heretofore
mentioned the increase of sixty cents
per thousand on cigars will be removed,
also that tho stamp tax on steamship
tickets Will be taken oil, because the
revenue received does not justify tho
dillicultics Of collection. Members of
tho committee have been asked to re-
move the stamp taxes on foreign bills of
exchange and bills of iading, and it is
possible that matter may be rcopcnod.
The tax on pallor car seats and sleeping
car bcrths will remain.
The most important changes i'm tho
present law will be in Schedule b, which
practically will be wiped out and which
includes medicines and proprietary arti-
clcs. The tax also will probably bc re-
moved from convcyances, mortgages,
etc. These with the abolishmcnt of
taxes on express receipts, kilograms,
bank checks, and somo other stamp
taxes will, it is said, secure the reduction
OF S3O,OOO,OO0, which is tho amount
agreed upon by the treasury officials and

Paul Kruger Lands in France.

Paul Kruger, former President of the
South African Republic, landed in France
on last Thursday, November 22d His
reception by tho people of France, as hc
travels from one city to another, has
been one grand ovation. They delight
to honor the l'Ocr statesman. Replying
to the storm of acclamations from the
solid block Of thousands of enthusiastic
people at Paris, Mr.. Kruger said the
warm reception given him ~0uld do
much to soothc the wounds in his heart.
The Bocrs, he added, will never sacrifice
their freedom. They would rathcr be
cxtcrminatcd TO the last man. Further
on in his speech he said: 81 have fought
with Savagcs, but the present war is even
worse. Wo will never surrender. We
arc determined to fight to the last OK

Transvaal and Orange Free State lose

Our Census.

The census tables of the counties of
South Carolina published in another col
umn this morning presents an interesting
subject for study. AS expected, com
parison with 1890 shows that tho largest
increase of population has been in tho
upper tier of counties; but the crafty
ing fact is shown that the Southern and
middle tiers have increased much more
than in tho previous decade. Take New
berry and Richland, two middle counties,
for instance. The former made no gain
at all from 1880 to 1890. For tho last dc

Enormous Increase in Cotton Values.

Baltimore, November 24.--The South's s
cotton crop this year will be worth from
Sl50,OOO, 900 to $500, 100000 against an
average of $500, 900, 600 of late years, an
increase of from $3.50, 100000 to $500, 900,
600. Including tho seed, the value of
tho cotton crop will exceed $500. 900, 900.
Southern mills will consume probably
l,75O,OOO bales, against l,50O,0O0 bales
last year, says the Manufacturers Rec
ord. This cotton, which will cost South
crn mills about 100000 to $50, 900, 600,
will, in it's manufactured shape, be worth
more S225 100000, thus adding $l50 900,
600 in tho process of manufacturing. TO
this end an estimate of 500, 900, 600 as tho
value of cotton seed oil, hulls, ETC., and
it is found that the cotton crop will this
year yield to the South the following:
Cotton and seed, $500, 900 900; yalue of
cotton manufactured in the South, $l50,-
100000; value of oil and hulls, cako, etc,
for feeding, 100000, 900, making a grand
total of $3.50, 900, 600.
This is one of the many storics-this
one being worth $50, 600, conforming
the foundations for the Souths business
structure.
This addition to the wealth of the
South, while primarily adding to the
comfort of the cotton growers, will I'M
doubtcdly find it's way directly and in
directly into the channels of manufac-
turing, which will still further contri-
butte to the Southern prosperity.
