tiating for about seven weeks So far
there has not been the slightest fric-
tion, and present indications point to
no acts Of violence. Still this is a
strong union town and In the past
there have been clashes Of various
kinds, some amounting to riots, over
strike situations, and acts Of violence
are to be recognized as among the
probabilities.
The Charlotte Observer publishes
the following interesting account OF
the exercises at Great Falls Friday at
tending the dedication Of the. Southern
Power company's great plant: In the
presence Of q distinguished gathering
at Great Falls, 8. c., yesterday after
noon, Miss Mary Duke of Durham. laid
the corner stone Of the large power
house there and dedicated the plant
to "the upbuilding and uplifting OF the
south, her peoples, her industries and
her institutions" The occasion was
notable one: There were present Mr..
j. B. Duke of New York, Mr.. and Mrs.
B. N. Duke and daughter, Miss Mary,
Of Durham; DR.. and Mrs. w. Gill Wy
lie and daughters, Mrs. Leach, and
Miss Lucilla D. Wylie; Mrs. James
Young, Mrs. Bell and daughter, Miss
Anita Bell, ali Of New York; Mr.. j.
w. Cannon Of Concord: Miss Louise
Wadsworth and Mary Spencer Of An
derson: Messrs. W. s. Lee, Jr., George
Stephens. W. H. Martin. Jr., Guy Win
throp and W. D. Adams Of Charlotte.
The party In the Pullman car Rover,
arrived at Fort Lawn shortly after the
noon hour. The car was at once
switched over to the private line of the
Southern Power company and carried
down to Great Falls, twelve miles
away. The dedication Of the power
house took place at o'clock. A large
slab Of North Carolina granite had
been hewn from one of the neighboring
hills and It's face highly polished. In
the glistening surface had been cut the
name of the company owning the plant,
the name of the station, when work
was commenced and list OF officers
and directors, as follows: Southern

commenced August 1905. Officers: W.

tory and treasurer and w. II. Martin
assistant secretary and treasurer Dr.
rectors: j. B. Duke, B. N. Duke, w.

z. B. Arlington and Julius Chrfsten-
SEN R. H Wylie, W. s. Lee, Jr, F.
L. Fuller, r. B. w. A. Leland, resident
engineers" The dedicatory exercises
rassed off without hitch. Word was
dispatched to the many putting and
whistling engines to cease and for
few minutes there was silence about
rlace which Is usually the scene OF
restless activity. Miss Duke, In be-
half Of the Southern Power company,
then stepped to the front, plumbed the
stone to see IL II was properly placed.
and in a few words formally dedicated
the power plant. There followed a
general swapping Of kodaks and came
ras and after an exchange Of felicita-
tions, the party repaired to the car and
were carried back to Fort Lawn and
On to Charlotte.
Il Columbia special Of October z, to
Charlotte Observer: Out Of twenty
three county auditors so far reporting
to the comptroller general on the col
lection Of the income tax, thirteen re-
tions of $2,333. Eighteen counties are
vet to be heard from. So far Richland
far outstrips any of the others, re-
porting fifty-one such taxpayers and
a total tax collected Of $1.087.26. Green
Vile comes second with total OF
$S74.59 and Charleston third with
eight taxpayers and tax Of $356.S9.
Last year the total tax collected was
s215.29. Since then the clause In the
law forbidding publication OF the
names Of such taxpayers has been re-
pealed. which appears to have wrought
a mighty change, although dodgers OF
income tax are about the boldest In
the state. There are some state offi-
rers liable to the tax. and perhaps q
few clergymen, though none Of these
have so far been reported to the COMP
troller general. Bishop Capers, OF the
Episcopal diocese Of South Carolina,
receives a salary Of $4,000. but he pays
his travelling expenses out or this ana
/ is constantly travelling over the state.
and is therefore hardly liable. The law
requires one per cent on amounts over
S2. 500 in net incomes. and net income
does not exclude family expenses; one
haif per cent additional on amounts
above $4,000 and two per cent
On amounts above $4,000. Bishop
Duncan Is a resident Of Spartanourg
county, which has not yet been heard
from. So far as can be ascertained
there is no stationary pastor receiving
such a salary as would require him
to pay the tax. The name Of Commits
sioner Tatum does not appear on the
Richland list. Auditor Gibbes says ne
NJ cs his taxes at his home In Orange
b-rg. There are only three names on
the Orangeburg list, and none spells
Tatum. Mr.. Tatum's salary Is $4,000.
Governor Hayward pays his taxes In
Colleton, which has not yet reported.
His salary Is $500. The members OF
the state board of control are not Ia
BILE; the salary Of each Is only $400.
Those so far reported to the comptroll-
er general as paying tax on more
than $4,000 above the $4,000 limit are
p. w. Robinson. Of Columbia, who pays
on $4,000. ]. L. Mimnaugh Of Column
bia. $7,500: e. G. Seibels, Columbia
s6, 900. Henry P. Williams, Charleston,
,47S: w. G.. Hinson, Charleston, $6,-
1875. The Aiken, Cherokee and Green
willie auditors have reported collec-
tions. but sent in no names. Mr.. Jones
has sent these reports back for the
names. So far none Of the South Car
olina congressman have been reported
as paying. Senator Tillman Is a resi-
dent of Edgefield county. but his name
does not appear on the honor roll sent
in from there, and Senator Latimer Is
a. resident of Anderson, but there Is
nothing on the Anderson list that looks
like Latimer. Senators and congress-
men get $4,000 and mileage.
