They do things over in Georgia pretty
much as We do in South Carolina. In
the prison investigation over there last
week, in the matter of whipping white

sounds very much like the results of
South Carolina investigation.

It is announced that Vincent Chlcco,
the notorious blind tiger keeper, is to

The State of South Carolina has been
forced to borrow 100000 to pay current
expenses, and it is said that the full
amount allowed by law, 100000, will
have to be borrowed before the close of
the present fiscal year. And yet We are
prosperous and the States finances are In
good condition-when an appropriation
is to be made by the general assembly!
~
1t is great pity that Senator Tiliman's
speeches in the North and West on the
race question were not more on the order
of those of John Temple Graves, OF
Georgia. Graves makes the position of
the Southern people as strong as we
could wish for, but he does it with all
the graces of polished orator and pleas
ing rhetoric. In other words, the hand
is oaly gloyed.
That free pass business has estranged
many. of Senator Tillman's strongest
friends and supporters, and it is likely
that all this free railroad riding will turn
out to be more expensive to him than if
he had paid his fare. His friends for
gave his hypocrisy once, but they will
not do it again. The Senator should
take seriously to heart the old maxim
that honesty is the best policy"
~
No one we believe would oppose in the
abstract the principle of assessing prop
erty for taxation at its true value. 1t
would make no difference in the amount
each one would have to pay-provided
the system could be made uniform. Really,
too, it is the only fair and just way of as
sessing property. But the truth might as
well come out Property will never be
assessed at anything like the market
value as long as the present extravagance
in our State government is INDUCED in.
Now each county wants to dodge as much
of the tax for State expenses as possible,
and it makes no difference how high the
county levy is made. Then, too, we have
the constitutional tax-dodger, and it is
certain that man can no more be legis-
lated honest than rich. As long as the
present condition of affairs obtains, this
newspaper will be in favor of returning
property as low as possible. We are not
in favor of the hard-working people of
our county paying more taxes in proper
tion than the balance of the State, the
money to be extravagantly spent by those
in authority.
