COURT WEEK IN HAMPTON.

BRUNsoN, February Especial: Cour'

Sanders Glover, of the Hampton bar, who
went nobly to their rescue through pity

released, arranged to settle down at work

SCHEMES OF TAXATION.

Oc 4AAA44S&>s
With the knowledge of the amount Of
money that the State spends each year
the next question is how the money is tc
be raised, and this naturally makes the
general taxation schemes the most i'm.
portant matters that are to be acted upon
at this session. The House is evidently
not disposed to hit out straight from the
shoulder and make a direct increase Of
the levy of taxes for State purposes. II
was stated that direct increase of the
levy of one.half of one mill would more
than accomplish the purposes and revenue
proposed in the series of tax commission
bills. It was stated that, from the best
figures available, the revenue from the
license or excise tax bill, passed in the
House, would he about $4,000. 1t ap'
pears that, if properly enforced it ought
to aggregate more.
The tax commission had the easiest and
most serene time with its license bill
imposing an additional tax on corpora
tions, nothing but corporations. When
it came to the bill to establish new
method of assessing all classes of prop
erty, the tax commission was literally
showed under with its pet measures-the
bill was killed by vote of 81 to %. The
tax commission still has on the House
Calendar bill TO tax all incomes of more
than $1,000. The present statute imposes
a tax upon all incomes of more than ST.
500, but the proposition, is to reduce the
limit, and impose an income tax on all
gross incomes of over $1,000. Then the
tax commission has q bill to impose tax

WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD.

WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD. @
The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This Is btst
accomplished by the use of Chamberlain's
cough remedy. This remedy liquefes the
tough mucus and causes it's expulsionfrom
the air cells of the lungs, produces q free
expectoration, and opens the secretions.
A cure soon follows. This remedy Will
cure cold in less time than any other
treatment and leaves the system In q
natural and healthy condition. Itcounter-
acts any tendency towards pneumonia.

association workers from other sections
of the country. Among those who have
already consented to be present is Mr..
Chas. R. Towson, of Philadelphia. Mr..
Towson is secretary of the Pennsylvania
railroad department, Young Mems Chris
tian Association which is by the way, the
largest association of its kind in the
world: G. c.. Kitchener, of New York
city, is another prominent speaker. Mr..
Michener is one of the international Sec
retaries and is giving practically all Of
his time to association work in great in
dustrial plants. Prior to the convention,
Mr.. Michener and Secretary Knebel will
visit some of the large cotton mills and
confer with the presidents and superin-
tendents with reference to the feasibility
of erecting special buildings with all the
modern equipments for the male opera
tives.
". D. Weatherford, of Nashville, wno
is the international committees special
student secretary for the South, will also
be a prominent figure in the convention.
H.O. Williams, one of the information
al railroad secretaries, is another prorai-
nent speaker. Mr.. Williams and Mr..
Michener will be the special speakers on
Monday night of the convention; this en-
tire evening will be devoted to a discus
sion of "W ork Among Industrial Glasses" !"
Rev. J. A. B. Scherer, Ph. D., presi-
dent-elect of Newberry College, will de-
liver four addresses on Fundamentals" "
DR.. scherer is today the leading man in
his denomination, broad scholar and q
most attractive speaker.
Rev. M. D. Hardin, pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, Charlotte, will
deliver the convention sermon.
There will be number of business and
professional men who will fill places on
the program. Altogether is is going to
be most significant gathering-some Of
the choicest men in the Carolinas will
thus be brought together in three days
conference; they are coming from vii
lages, from cities, from railroad shops,
from colleges and universities, to plan
together how they may individually be Of
greater service to their fellows.
This paper is authorized to extend a
general invitation to any of its readers
who may be interested to attend this con-
vention. There will be reduced railroad
rates, but all who contemplate attending
must first communicate with the State
committees Office and be supplied with
the proper credentials. For further in
formation address State Secretary, Young

REVIEW And FORECAST.
WHAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS DONE AND
MAY DO.
A Summary Of the Appropriation Bill as Re.
portcd-The Medical Dispute Settled.
Too Many New Bills.

COLUMBIA, February Especial: The
general appropriation bill, as reported by
the ways and means committee, includes
practically the entire expenses of the
State government. The house committee
is very conservative body, has pruned
expenses closely. With all possible trim
ming the normal expenses of the State
government are over a million dollars.
The report of the committee figures up
S1,145, ,216.46. This does not mean that the
actual expenses will be that much, be-
cause about $4,000 has to be annually ap-
propriated, in excess of the current ex-
penses, for interests on the State debt.
The appropriation for the railroad COM
missioners is returned by the railroads.
The Wade Hampton monument fund was
appropriated last year, and is repeated in
this years bill. 1t will be observed that
more than half of the total expenses of
the State government are covered by
three items. That is, the State hospital
for the insane, the Confederate pensions
and the ever.recurring interests on the
public debt, make up $627, 900 of the grand
total of $1,145,216.46.
South Carolina is g. growing State, and
it is about as reasonable to expect the
State to remain stationary in its expendi-
lures as to expect the tide to stand still.
The following list is taken from the ap.
preparation bill, as reported, and it ought

son. Then the House passed the bill pro-
viding for county experimental stations
that meant another $12, 600, and to cap
the climax; the House refused to strike
out the enactiug words of the bill, which
sought to reduce the privilege tax-the
backbone of the support of Clemson. So
there was trouble ahead! These three
items meant q reduction of more than
100000 in the funds available for Clemson
College, and the trustees of that institu.
ton came here in full force to protest
against such legislation and to emphasize
the present needs of the College and to
ask to be left alone. The trouble seems
to be. first, that the affairs of Clemson
are not in the hands of the General AS
sembly: The Clemson board can and does
do what it pleases as to salaries, buildings
and the like, and then some members In
sisted that the money that is going into
new buildings had better be used for the
purposes indicated in the measures they
advocated.
The scholarship measure is now in the
Senate, and in this connection it seems
that the policy developed at this session
was decidedly favorable to scholarships
at the various State colleges.
OTHER MATTERS.
The insurance interests seem to be very
generally satisfied with the passage
through the House of the two measures
affecting their interests. The Mauldin olll
was not exactly what the insurance folks
wanted, but it was in the line of what was
desired, and the idea of an insurance ou-
reau seems to be acceptable.
