RESULT OF HIGH TAXES.
Charleston Canning Company Aban-
dons Promising Industry on Ac
count of Heavy License.

Charleston, July 26.-After purchas-
ing site for $4,000 and actually be-
ginning the construction Of its oyster
cannery, the Independent Canning
company has determined to dissolve
the corporation on account Of the ex-
cessive tax and license law Of the
State, the full effect Of which appears
not to have been realized until the ac-
tual building of the factory had been
begun. There was disposition among
some of the stockholders to test the
validity of the act and take the
chances with refund of part of the
tax and license later on, but the ma
iority was opposed to making any
fight against the State law, and the
dissolution of the corporation was the
only alternative.
The company was organized with
paid up capital Of $4,000. It's opera

of $4,000 in wages weekly in Charles

town counties. Strange to say, the
bill which became a law was intro
duced by the Charleston delegation.

Preserving company of Baltimore will
