How the Money Comes and 6 oes

Newberry Observer.
It seems to US that the candidates
might spend portion of their time
on the stump in eulightening the
people on the subject of taxes-ex-
planning why they are so high and
suggesting, if possible, some plan for
reducing them. There is no more
important subject now before the
people.
That taxes are high no one will un-
dertake to deny. Some insist that
they are no higher than neces-
sary, and simply dispose of the mat
ter by saying, as DR.. Zimmerman
does, that there is no way to reduce
them now. If this be fact, then it
is encumbent upon the candidates
to show why all the sums collected

from the taxpayers are needed. They
ought to do it, if for no other pur-
poee, to satisfy the public mind and
quiet the unrest and dissatisfaction
that is constantly increasing We
presume if the people can be cor
vinced that taxes are not higher than
necessary and that there is no extrav-
ogance in salaries and appropriations,
they would pay their taxes more
cheerfully. If taxes are no higher
than they out to be candidates for
Office ought to be able to provo that
fact; if they are too high, they ought
to be able to suggest some means Of
reducing them and giving the people
some relief
There is very good reason why
the subject of taxation should be dis
cussed on the stump; that is, because
the people at large do not really
know the details of expenditures;
they seldom see the reports OF the
State Treasurer and Comptroller
General; they do not know, there
fore, just how their money goes.
The State is collecting good deal
more taxes now than it collected 10
or Is years ago. This is not specula-
ton but fact, as the records will
show. The general taxes-that is
taxes on property alone-amounted
in 1883 to $582,611 IS; in 1901 they
amounted to SSO8,5s2 40-a differ
ence OF nearly quarter of million.
The total income last year from the
general taxas, dispensary fertilizer
etc, was Ss,391,774.S7: together
with q cash balance Of S626,912.05,
making altogether $4,01S,6S6 80 The
expenditures were S3,7S0,943 81, leav-
ing cash balance to be carried over
to 1902 of $237,74525. Comparing
these figures with those of 1883, we
find in that year the receipts were
S1,267,603 26 and the expenditures
s1,19O,42 So,
Among the expenditures for 1901
may be mentioned those for higher
@ lucation in the State institutions.
These amounted to S242 S98 IA, be-
sides s37 1857 received from the
United States government through
the Morrill, fund and the interest on
the land scrip. It may be of inter-
est to note in passing, in connection
with Go. Talbsrts special ''issue"
that while the State pays S234,89S "a
for higher and industrial training
of the whites, it pays just $4,000
for the negroes.

Heart Of Camden Eaten by Fire.

Camden, July % The most sub.
stantial business block in the city
of Camden was destroy ed by fire last
night, the total loss aggre eating
about. seventy thousand dollars, with
insurance about thirty thousand dol
lers.
The heavy loss was occasioned by
the fact that the power plant of the
water works was recently destroyed
by fire and has not been rebuilt, be-
ing now in process of construction.
Fortunately there was no wind ard
the fire was stopped at the building
of the Bank of Camden on one ex.
treme of the square and Mr.. P. L.
Villepegues on the other. The Co.
lumbia fire department promptly re-
sponded to a call for assistance, but
the fire had spent it's force when they
arrived.
Business is suspended in the city
today and every one is lending a
helping hand to the merchants who
were fortunate enough to get their
stock in the streets before their build
ings were destroyed.
One side of the street of the best
business block in the place was
burned, one store being left on each
corner. All the buildings save one
we're two-story brick structures, the
other being a three-story one.
Among the places burned was a
building in which was the post Office.
The mails and post Office contents
were saved.
The plate glass windows of the
stores across the street were al!
cracked by the intense heat.
