we will find a zeal and interest in our

those who have so far succeeded in busi-

Standard Oil Must Pay.

Columbia, April 2.--Comptroller
General Jones to-day notified counsel for
the Standard Oil Company that the valu-
alton of it's property in this State had
been raised from $4,000, as returned, to
100000. This action was taken after a
careful examination of the returns made
for the various counties in thisl State.
In Columbia the plant is valued at S4, 100,
and the highest valuation in the State is
that of Charleston, where there are sup
ply tanks and other works for supplying
the entire State. The entire plant is
valued at $4,000. a confidential report
received by the Comptroller places the
valuation of this plant at close to $780,
600. The time has past for the payment
of the license tax under the law for such
corporations, but the Comptroller will
extend the time in this case, as there
will certainly be protest.

have warehouses sufficiently large to take
care of as many as $4,000. 900 bales if nec-

running mate for Mr. Bacon. We refer
to S. M. Grist, of the Yorkville Enquirer.
They are both excellent gentlemen,
neither seeking political honors and
would fill with credit the high positions
for which they now stand suggested"
The Courier would consider it an honor
to support them, on general principles
and more especially because we have for
years advocated the policy of which their
names are synonymous. Here's to Bacon
and Grist-hog and hominy-great men
and great policy! May they win, and may
this grand old State achieve honor and
prosperity by their adoption! Hog and
hominy-that's our policy. Three cheers
for Bacon and Grist!
