SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Under the new franchise tax law
saws q Columbia special: Vice-Presi-
dent Andrews Of the Southern has sent
a check to Comptroller General Jones
for s2l.0o0.oo the largest return SO
far made, Mr.. Andrews writes that
their calculation was made upon tue
proportion Of mileage In this state,
but the law requires a tax upon the
gross receipts from railroads which
NAV make some change In the amount
the Southern pays, The matter Will
come up In the form Of protest be-
fore the state board In few days:
The tax upon the Coast Line Will
amount to about $l2,0o0,00. The larg-
est tax that will come from A. demes-
tic corporation was for $4,000 from
the Charleston Mining company. The
receipts under the new law are ex-
ceedipg all expectations and IN the end
may double what was estimated, $sQ,-
10000. Some Of the smaller domestic
corporations have written that they
will fight the tax in the courts but the
larger concerns who are hit the heay-
lest and who employ the best legal tai
ent, have paid without kick.
Columbia RecardI Republican poll
ticians in this state are greatly dis
turbed over the recent order OF the
president which prohibits federal Of
fiee holders from taking an active
part in state politics and In holding
places on the state committee, The
order is supposed to be directly aimed
at the south, and the special to the
Record, which gave the particulars,
was received with incredulity and
doubt by many OF the faithful.
Later the news was confirmed ana
there has been a great deal OF COM
plaint since. BY some ii Is taken to
mean a following out Of the plans OF
President Mckinley. who had Ideas OF
a white Republican party In the south,
and by others 1t Is taken to be d.
rect slap at the policies OF the "G.
o. p" in the south. 1t Is positively
stated by a member of that party who
talked to Mr.. Roosevelt shortly after
he assumed ONCE, that the plans OF
William Mckinley would be carried
out and that as soon as the campaign
of 1904 was finished there would be
proof Of this In the policy or Mr.,
Roosevelt. Therefore, 1t Is generally
believed that the order Is made to dis
qualify many OF those who now hold
federal positions and at the same time
are displaying "pernicious political ac-
tivity." This will affect E. H. Deas,
the Duke Of Darlington" and state
chairman, as we'll as deputy collector
In the internal revenue service. 1t Is
a question of resigning the chairman
ship or giving up his present JOB,
which pays $4,000 a year. 1t Is bit
ter pill for the would-be leader. just
what course he will take Is puEsllng
the party now. Others who are at
fected are Collector Crum, Deputy
Collector Tolbert, Deputy Fordham,
District Attorney John Capers and
several who are now on the anxious
bench: Generally the order Is looked
upon as an obnoxious interference with
the plans Of the would-be headers" In

"PERFECTION"
OIL STOVES.

Every family should have and wants
a first-class OIL Stove. Up to the In
PRODUCTION Of the PERFECTION, the
one great drawback and objection to
oil stoves has been their propensity to
smoke, caused by the crawling" up
ward of the wicks. This imperfection
is entirely overcome In the Perfection.
It is so arranged that 1t Is impossible
for the wick to crawl and cannot
possibly smoke. Most oil stoves have
been mussy things, hard to keep In or
der and clean. The Perfection Is so
compact and simple that 1t Is as easy
to keep clean as an ordinary lamp.
Another advantage of the Perfection
Oil Stove is that 1t can be used for a
stove for ten minutes and In one min :
ute more can be converted into an H.
Eliminating lamp for the reading table.
The price Is low, the stove Is good,
1t makes a terrific heat in a few sec
onds and makes a beautiful clear
light as a reading lamp.
Come and let us show 1t to you.
