Sale Revoked by South Carolina.

The sale of several thousand acres of
Eand under water, on the coast of this
state, made by the sinking fund commits
sion, has been revoked 1t seems that
the land contains some valuable oyster
beds, and is worth several thousand dol.
lars. 1t was sold for SO, and an opinion
given by the Assistant Attorney General
last week revokcS the sale. This history
of it is given in an opion by Mr.. Town
send and statement given out by the
commission as follows
II have examined the record of the
conveyanccs from the sinking fund com
0aission to the Cape Roman Land and
Snvestment Company, recorded in dupl
cate titles, Vol. G, page III, in the office
of Secretary of State, as requested in
your letter of August 2l, and am of the
opinion that the said deed is null and
void so far as it attempts to convey the
use of land under the public waters Of
this State, for the purpose of cultivatng
oysters, for the reason that the only au-
thority of the commissioners to make
such grant is that contained in sections
2225 and 1926 of the code of laws of
South Carolina, 1902, Vol. | being the
act of 1891. 1t does not appear upon
the face of the deed what is the acreage
of the lands conveyed. The only con
sideration, however, appears to have
been S10."

Columbia, September 25.-An example
of the beautiful inequalities of the tax
the Comptroller General from Chester
field county this morning. The letter
states that prominent citizen Of that
county had piece of timber land which
was returned at $4,000. The land was
sold recently at $4,000, and the pur-
chasers have been offered 100000 for it,

auditor wanted to know if he could

He was told that under decision of the
Supreme Court he could only charge it
to the real estate account, and as this is
only assessed every four years, nothing
could be collected in addition to that al
ready returned.
