Comptroller General Jones recon-
snends in his annual report that a
State License tax be levied upon all
insurance companies doing business in
South Carolina and that all license
taxes now imposed by cities and coun-
ties be prohibited. He estimates that
the State would receive an income
from this source of about $4,000. It
is expected that the cities viii oppose
the Jones plan and that the insurance
companies will favor it, for the cities
VIII lose the income, now derived from
the insurance companies, while the
companies will save money, since the
State license tax will almost certainly
be less than the aggregate tax now
paid to towns and cities.
Far sighted land owners who plant

The State of South Carolina has

hr. John G.. Capers denies that be
attended the Mark Hanna banquet and
declares his intention to make affidavit
IN support Of his denial. What he
needs is not an affidavit but we'll
established alibi. It strikes as. how
ever. that the incident is being naagni-
6ed nnduly. Wherein lies the differ
ence between q banquet at which u
negro is guest and q South Carolina
negro Republican pow wow Mr.. Ca
pers has made himself at home in the
negro conventions in this State, and. ne
viii scarcely make an affidavit that
he has not sat in these negro conyen-
tians cheek BY jowl with Edmund
Deas and osher black and tan notables.
Tf distinction in degradation can be
drawn, it seems to us that Mr.. Capers
reached a lower. level when he hobnob-
bed With ghe negro politicians in the
Orangebuzg convention than he did
when he sat down with Judson Lyons
at the Marx Hanna banquet. It is no
worse to dine with 8 negro than to be
the leader of the negro politicians
against his former friends and ASST
ases. No cne better knows the evil
consequences Of negro political rule
shsn Joha q. Capers, and when he al
lied himself with the negroes against
his own race he published to the world
that he was ready and willing to ac-
.cspt the duties, responsibilities and
degradation that his. position carried
with it.

There is'a decrease in the property

county auditors have enormously in

FISHERMEN ACQUITTED.

The twenty japanese fishermen who
were arrested the other day on the
charge of common nuisance by dis
playing lights on their fishing sam
PANS, appeared before Judge Wilcox in
the Police Court yesterday afternoon.
A lot of testimony was taken and
when this was completed, Judge Will
cox stated that he could not see where
in the fishermen had violated the law.
The law required them to use lights
on their boats. If the nayigators who
had made complaints against the Jap
anese fishermen could not distinguish
between the big fare lights OF the
sampans and the red and green lights
on shore, then they should learn the
difference. The judge stated in con-
clusion that the law bearing ON tho
matter needed REIMBURSEMENT before
convictions could be obtained in mat
tiers OF this kind.

ARE TALKING nth

Horsemen are already beginning to
talk 18th of June and there Is very
general feeling that the events of this
year will be more successful than they
have been for long time.
There are several things which have
led the horsemen to this conclusion.
One of them is the outlook that there
will be no more Waldo J to buck up
against. This very fast animal is now
In the hands of A. A. Young. Another
horse that has been the cause of much
dissatisfaction among the owners OF
PAGERS is Cyclone, which Is now the
property Of Dr. c. b. Cooper.
One of the men interested in racing
said today: THE elimination of these
two horses means that there will be
much better racing in the field this
year. The younger horses, of which
there are large number in the
Islands now. will be given a show, and
there win be a good free-for-all event

ARCHBISHOP CANTERBURY

London, Dec. 23.--The death of the
Archbishop of Canterbury was peace
full and occurred in the presence of his
wife and sons. The Primate died of
old age. The pathetic scene In West
minister Abbey at the coronation OF
King Edward was one of the earlier
Indications of his falling strength.
Then came the collapse in the House
of Lords at the conclusion of vigor-
Gus speech In support of the education
| bill. He had not left his bed since. He
will be buried at Canterbury. The
Bishop of Winchester Is considered
likely to be his successor.
The Archbishop had not been a well
man since before the coronation OF
King Edward. He suffered from ner'
vousness for several years and his af.
lection reached a climax during the
coronation. When his duty of receiv-
ing the Kings oath had been complet'
ed the Archbishop was so weak he had
to be led from the Abbey. He was con-
fined to his room for some weeks but
seemed to be regaining his wonted
health when he suffered n relapse
about three weeks ago. He sank
quickly and lowered between life and
death for a fortnight.
The Most Rev. Frederick Temple
was appointed Archbishop of Canter
, bury and Primate of all England on
December 90, 1896. His rise to this
highest position in the Church of Eng
land. while gradual, was record Of
brilliant work.
He was born at Santa Maura, IoniaI
Islands, November 80, 1921. He can't
! of well known family, Is father beinl
Major Octavius Temple, late Governo
of Sierra Leone. The Archbishop wal
educated at Blundells School, Tiger
ton, Devon, then went to Balliol Col
lege, Oxford from which he was grad
= uated with high honors. He wal
, elected Fellow of Balliol College II
1Si3. acted as principal Of Kneller Hal
, from 1913 till 1856; then became He
Majestys inspector Of training col
leges. This position he held until 1855
when he was head master of Rugby
: In 1869 he began his life as a church
, man, when he took up the duties o
y Bishop of London.
His work in this capacity won 70
: him the confidence and esteem of hi
: fellow churchmen, and when in 1879
Archbishop Benson died DIR. Tempt
was appointed to succeed him as PR
/, mate of the church.
i. The Archblshop's work was mainl,
a preaching, although he did some writ
= ing. His best known publications ar,

lectures and tracts and pamphlets.

The British ship Clan Macpherson,
Captain Mcdonald. arrived off the
port early this morning. 13l days out
from Antwerp. The Fearless went out

at the Railroad wharf opposite the
Alaskan, at about IL o'clock.
The Clan Macpherson left Antwerp
August 9th last year. She had fair

rather stormy but the vessel had good
luck and made the run from 80 TO so
in a fortnight. The run up through
the Pacific was also made in pretty
good weather.
While the Clan Macpherson was for
tunate as far as the weather was con
Cerned, the trip was marred by the
second mate being Ill throughout al
most the entire trip, and by the loss OF
one of the apprentices who fell over
board and was drowned in the Allan
