TAXES AND COUNTIES.

Kalauokalani then read his bill
amending the internal tax on real
property. which fixes the tax at two per
cent upon the actual cash value of
real estate. This is just double the
present rate.
Senator C. Brown was on his feet
in an instant. He said he didn't like
to move that bill be rejected. as it
was not treating other members with
proper courtesy. But this BILL" he
said, seeks to increase the tax rate
from l to per cent and as there is
also an income tax of per cent, this
would make the total tax on the people
of the territory per cent, something
unheard of and unprecedented. think
We all know that the Territorial gov
eminent is in want of revenue, and that
the county bill, instead of decreasing
the expense of government, will in
lied government we are now going
under. L believe, Mr.. President. that
this matter of taxation is a matter
which can only be gotten at by a gen.
eral revision of the tax, income. and
other laws now on the statute books.
I'm order not to reject the bill, but
that it be not printed. move that after
its first reading it be laid on the table
for future consideration whenever the
majority of the house desires"

LAW ALREADY REPEALED.

The Kalauokalani bill repeating the
Territorial laws relating to the impor-
tation of spirituous liquors was read
also for the first time. Senator Dickey
moved that the bill be rejected, as it
repealed an act which had already
been repealed by the Organic Act He
said that the Territory had nothing to
do with the Importation of liquor, as
it was Federal matter entirely.
Senator Kalauokalani replied that he
knew the law was dead, but that it was
still on the statute books and should
be removed. Senator Dickey there
upon withdrew his objection, but stated
that the bill ought not to be printed, as
it was simply waste of money. Sen
ator Baldwin said he didn't believe
there was any necessity for a waste of
time and money in repeating acts which
had already been repealed by the Or
ganic Act, and the bill was finally
given it's first reading. to be referred
to the judiciary committee today.

Brown.
Wen hail him as Republican, any
way" said Baldwin. He brought in
a Republican resolution. I believe Sen
ator Brown can put the resolution in
proper shape. 1t is not now a reso-
luton of the Senate, but of a precinct
club
Senator Paris moved to amend
Browns original resolution by sending
it back to the introducer. This result
ed in a tie vote-six to six-and Pres
ident Crabbe casting the deciding vote,
referred the resolution to the commit
tee on education.
Senator Wilcox, under suspension of
the rules, presented a petition from
twenty Kauai school teachers asking
that the schools be placed under the
control of counties, and that the Topics
amendment to the county bill be adopt
ed. This was referred to the same
committee.
Senator Dickey called up his bill
granting a gas franchise to w. w.
Dimond and others, and after the first
reading it was referred to the printing
that these private bills should be trans
lated before being presented. in order
to save expense to the Territory.
Kalauokalanfs bill relating TO e&-
emptions, and raising the amount of
exemption from $500 to $1,000, was given
it's first reading by title and ordered

CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

I.ockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by
a bacillus or germ which exists
plentifully in street dirt. 1t is in
active so long as exposed to the air,
but when carried beneath the skin
as in the wounds caused by per-
cussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the
most virulent poison known. These
germs may be destroyed and all
danger of lockjaw avoided by ap-
plying Chamberlain's Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury is re
ceieen. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts, braises and like in
juries to heal without maturation
and in one third the time required
by the usual treatment. 1t is for

From Socastee (HorrY County.l

SocAsTEE, October 12:-Most OF
the people of the nelghborhood are
busy picking cotton and carrying it
to the gins. Several of the farmers
are making more than a bale to the
acre. Mr. RT Todd has 80 acres Of
swamp land planted in cotton and it
will yield over 100 bales. The corn
crop, too, is abundant; in some cases
old corn has to be moved to make
room for the new clep.
Horny is coming to the front in an
agricultural way and every one is IN
good heart at the outlook. The null
let is running and sweet potatoes are in
season, so that for o while at least
hard times are not known in our
community.
Socastee Graded School will COM
mence its exercises the first Monday
in November.
The health of this neighborhood
is not very good, there being good
many cases of chills and fever.
On account of the giving way of
the old flat Peach-tree ferry has

old fat hes now been replaced with
a new one and once more the ferry
