Mr. Calhoun Opposes License sys-
tenn of Raising Revenue.
Respectfully,
Jas. H. Tillmeu

Editor Advertiser: 1t is cur
rently reported that in order to
raise a sufficient revenue for
municipal purposes for the next
year, thsre will be an effort made
to raise that revenue SO far as it
can be done by the license system,
and then to supplement that by a
property tax to raise tie deficiency.
That is neither a just nor an
equitable plan as it would be very
light On those who have much Of
this worlds goods aud oppressive
on those who have not but littl9.
To illustrate. I would call al
tention 10 the fact that under a
license system, onr banks. presi-
dents and officers. all men Of
means, would not have to pay any
license except one VINO as a law
yer would have to pay a5nomlnal
sum while being the richestsman
/ mean nothing personal
in my illustrations. | have to use
them to make plain my meaning.
There can be no graded license
system, grading the Licenses of
each class of business according
TO the amount of capital invested
or business done. All banks, all
merchants, all lawyers, all doc
tors in their respective classes
must pay the same amounts, and
such would have to be the case
with all classes. That ls the rule
in other towns, and it is the law.
Under the license system, our
banks with capital stock each,
of about $60,000C0 would posi-
bly, have to pay $4,000 Which
would be very small percentage
on its business while the small
merchant would have to pay a
license of fifty or even ten dollars
would be paying very large per-
centage as compared with the
banks.
With nine mills levy, those
same banks would have to pay
several hundred dollars in taxes
while the small merchant would
have to pay a nominal sum, but,
the payments would he equitable
and in accordance with the riches
of each. That is the only equita-
ble plan. A property tax is best as
then all would have to pay ac-
cording. to what they haze and
there would he no discrimination.
Justice and fairness demand
that this matter be looked into
in its proper light: and before
council adopts such a drastic
measure, it would be wise for it to
ask to hear argument on the sub
ject.
The figures given by me are, of
course, surmises simply used to
illustrate what l had to say. 1
have no idea as to what amounts
council would adopt; but, from
what has been said the conclusion
can be reached that a license sys-
tenn would favor those who have
much and Cypress those who have
little.
1 write this article in good
faith, my aim being to put the
matter before the people and coun-
Gil in the light that see it.

1t is hoped that Senator Tillman
has not overlooked this latest
stink coming from the state dis
pensary. The Investigating COM
mittee asked for q list Of the pur-
chases made at the last meeting
ofsthe state board, aud the board
refused to give it. That looks bad.
On the other haLd the friends of
the board charge that members of
the investigating committee want
certain liquor dealers favored in
the matter of purchases. The state
dispensary has given off bad odor
FROM the day it was established,
and it will always do so. 1t must
be abolished Anderson Mail.
1t is somewhat difficult to han

Herald and News.
Thirt years Of practical OPP
Grafton have been ample to prove
the state dispensary system to be
"a miserable failure, of which the
great masses of people are fully
J. cognizant. It has not been the
"steps toward prohibition that its
founders promised it would be,
every means possible, both fair
aud foul, having been employed
to increase the sale of liquor.
Even as money making scheme.
the prime purpose for which it
was established, the dispeusary
has been a gigantic failure. Large
debts have been unlawfully in
Cured, exorbitant prices have
been paid for liquor and supplies,
all of which have made great in-
roads into the net profits. The
system bas wrought great detri-
ment to the morals of the state,
not only through the debauching
influence of liquor but through
the graft and corruption incident
to its management. Have thc peo-
pie any assurance of better things
in future? Absolutely none. So
we say: with thousands of others,
let the system be abolished and
consigned to oblivion.
IS The assignment of Clarence
Thrailkill, who killed Ben Burton
in saluda county, to duty on the
poor house farm on account of i'll
health, instead of placing him on
the chain gang has created con-
siderable comment, and ls yet un-
settled. Being sentenced to three
years at hard labor upon the pub
lie works of Saluda county or i'm
prisonment in the jail or peniten-
tiary, complaint was made to
Governor Hayward that Thrailkill
was not properly serving his sem
tence. The Governor referred the
matter to Solicitor Cooper for in
vestigation, who reported that in
his judgment it is mot carrying
ont the sentence of the court" !"
Governor Hayward. has asked for
AN opinion from the attorney gen.
:eral before acting. Acounty farm
may, in sense, be public works
but certainly not the public works
contemplated in the statute pro-
yiding punishment for the crime
Of which Thrailkill has been con-
victed. There is no odium con-
nected with working on the conn-
:ty farm; no guards are on duty,
aud while thus employed ones
liberty is Lut. little curtailed. Al
lowing an individual convicted o.
crime to serye a sentence in this
mannersis a dangerous precedent.
