AFTER TAX EvADERS.

Comptroller General Jones has been
informed that many persons have &C
quired the habit OF entering a nominal
sum as the amount Of consideration In
land sales, in order to escape taxation,
and he has sent out to the county au-
ditors in each county a letter calling
their attention to that section OF the
law which covers this point. OF course
it is possible that nominal consider
alton may be occasionally entered on
the records for other purposes than To
evade taxation, but this is not often the
case, thinks the comptroller general
and he will instruct the auditors to
look into the matter. The law bearing
on this subject is as follows:
"An Act to Declare all Contracts En-
tered into with intent to avade pay
ment of Taxes or in Fraud OF the
Tax Laws Of the State Against Pub
lie Policy.
Section /. Be it enacted by the gem
eral assembly Of the state OF South
Carolina, that all contracts that are
entered into with intent to evade pay
ment of taxes or in fraud Of the tax
laws of this state, be, and are herepy
declared against public policy.
Section 2. That no court In this
state shall lend aid in the enforcement
of such contract, whether the same
has heretofore been entered into or
may hereafter be entered into.
Section 8. That the courts OF this
state shall not lend their aid to en-
force any contract entered into as q
substitute for or having as its consid-
Grafton a previous contract OF the ma
ture or class Of contracts hereinbefore
declared against public policy.

d. 1902"

Evil. The Compact. Mephisto offers
to restore his youth and undertakes
to satisfy his craving for knowledge
and his impatience Of limitations by
which that knowledge Is bound. Faust
defies him to fulfill his promise.
Mephisto showing Faust the vision of
Marguerite, accepts the challenge and
gives Faust a draught of youth. They
depart to the public square of Nurem-
burg. Mephisto Is triumphant. Act
11.-Faust is introduced into Marguer-
ties garden by Mephisto, who leaves
a casket Of jewels before her spinning
wheel. Marguerite shows the jewels to
Martha, her neighbor Mephisto, to
further his plans, influences Faust to
induce Marguerite to give her mother
a sleeping portion, which results in her
death, and the night witnesses the
success Of Mephisto in causing the
meeting Of Faust and Marguerite. Act
III.-Through her companions, Mar
guerite learns Of the disgrace Of one of
their number; overcome with remorse
at her own similar fate, she offers
prayers at the Shrine for her saliva
ton. Valentine, who has returned
from the war, and heard Of Marguer-
ties fall, seeks revenge on her betray-
er. Mephisto discloses Faust's identi-
ty to Valentine. They engage in
duel which results in Valentine being
mortally wounded. Marguerite appears
in time to witness the death Of Valen-
tine and receive his dying curse. Act
IV.-The Witches Carnival on the
Brocken inaugurates the career Of dis
sipation on which Faust Is launched
by Mephisto in order to make him for
get the past and by the appearance of
Marguerites grief prepares for the ca
tastrophe which ensues. Act V.-The
scene In the dungeon ends the tragedy,
with Marguerite's death and final sal
walton. The Apotheosis.'

THE CLUB CONTEST.

Mr.. A. w. Mcfarland of Yorkville
No. 3, is the winner Of the $85 buggy
offered by The Enquirer for the larg-
est club of subscribers returned and
paid for between November l, 1906
and March 13, 1907, and Mr.. ]. F. A.
Smith of Yorkville No. l, is the winner
of the sos buggy offered for the second
largest list returned and paid for in
the same period.
Mr. Mcfarland returned and paid
paid for 225 names.
Mr. Smith returned and paid for 214
names.
The total number Of names returned
by all the clubmakers within the pc
riod mentioned was 1909.
Below we give a list Of the various
cluomakers with the number Of names
returned by each. Some eight or ten
clubmakers started out with the inten-
ton Of trying to carry off one Of the
buggies; but before the contest was
two months old, the real running In
this direction was narrowed down to
three or four. Some of the club
makers got up clubs because their
fathers had been doing so before them,
and they have been continuing the
good work year after year for time
out Of mind. Others worked because
they believe the thorough circulation
Of The Enquirer is Of benefit to their
respective communities, and still 9TH
ers very naturally chose such a
pleasant and easy way to get certain
desired premiums we offered. 1t
will be noticed that several clubmak-
ers returned only one name each, and
in a general way this can probably be
explained by the statement that after
beginning themselves, having names
placed to their credit by individuals,
they changed their minds and decided
not to make clubs. In the case Of
some of these, it is probably a fact
that names were placed to their credit
this year only because they had clubs
last year. Two or more names are re-
quired for club and, Of course, one
name does not count anything for the
clubmaker. However, as a matter Of
interest, we see proper to publish the
entire list Of clubmakers, with the
number of names returned by each.
The list Is as follows:

Rock Hill special Of March IA to
Charlotte News: Miss Ellie Leslie, the
twelve-year- old daughter Of Mr.. D.
F. Leslie met with what might have
been a serious accident last Friday af-
ternoon by ladder falling on her.
The school children were playing a
game around the school at recess, a
ball was needed for the game lodged
upon the roof of the school house and
the boys In the school had secured
long ladder to get the ball. They at
tempted to remove the ladder, which
was very heavy, from the house, when
it became unmanageable, falling on
the young lady and striking her on
the back part of the head, not seri-
ously.

est to the corps, nor has the war de-
partment any money to spend in ex-
perimenting with the science of air
navigation. The object of the new
balloon, he states, is to be used in
making military observations and to
train members of the signal corps in
that work Within the near future,
Gen. Allen states, the war department
hopes to have erected at Fort Omaha,
where most of the balloon expert
ments are carried on, plant for MAX
ing hydrogen gas. With such plant,
the signal corps will be able to supply
its own hydrogen gas at a central
point, instead of purchasing it at some
distant place and having it delivered
on the ground where the balloon OBJ
servations are being conducted. An
other object aimed at is economy, the
cost of hydrogen gas being much
higher than coal gas. Hydrogen gas
has twice the lifting power of the lat
ter kind, and is now used in all the
smaller balloons used by the signal
corps.

CALIFORNIA is still very much
wrought up over the Japanese matter.
Numerous bills and resolutions have
been passed by the legislature Of that
state, which are aimed directly and in
directly at the Japanese, all Of which
are calculated to put an end to the
negotiations Of a treaty between Japan
and the United States government,
relative to the exclusion Of Japanese
coolies. Among others bill has been
passed prohibiting aliens from holding
lands more than five years unless they
become citizens. AS Japanese cannot
become citizens that bill would prevent
them from holding real estate. An
other bill is intended to exclude all ia
panese children over ten years Of age
from the primary schools. A resolu-
tion describes the presidents sugges-
ton that congress should pass a bill
providing for Japanese naturalization,
as "pernicious legislation" and SEN
ate resolution specifically demands ia
panese exclusion. At the telegraphic
request of the president, Governor Gill
lette of California, has not yet ap-
proved any of the bills and resolutions
passed by the legislature relating to
the Japanese matter until the receipt
of a letter from the president relative
to the questions at issue. At present
1t looks as If the whole business is a
long way from satisfactory solu-
ton

Put Il In the Bank.

We have talked along the line on
which we are going to talk now be-
fore; but it is a subject with which
the people of this country cannot be
made too familiar.
The man who has cash money for
which he has no immediate need; but
which he may or may not need few
months hence, should put it in the
bank.
We are not talking to people who
already have bank accounts. They
know what is best as to business
methods, if they have been patronizing
the banks long enough. If they have
not been patronizing the banks for a
long time, they are learning all right.
This is principally for the benefit Of
people who have not yet learned to
patroniZe the banks but who ought to
get themselves in the way of banking.
There are lots of people who decline
to have anything to do with the banks
for the reason that they have heard Of
bank failures from time to time in the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1907-03-15

past. These same people have heard
of ten tragedies that have occurred be-
cause of the failure Of the victims to
keep their money in the bank where
they have heard Of one case Of money
lost because of a bank failure.
But while security is very import
ant consideration in the matter OF
bank account, this is by no means
everything. There are lots of people
who know how to make money; but
who are unable to keep their financial
affairs. straight. When such people get
in the habit of paying most of their
bills with checks instead Of cash they
soon realize that 1t is worth something
to have the bank people keep books
for them.
OF course, all men make errors; but
very few are the errors made by the
bank people. Their business is sur
rounded by every reasonable safeguard
against errors, and when errors are
discovered 1t is usually a matter OF
small consequence to correct them.
Our advice to those who have money
and who have no bank account Is to
get into the habit Of a bank account
without further delay.

FEHIM Pasha, trusted favorite Of the
sultan of Turkey, is down and out and
European diplomats and Turkish
statesmen are highly pleased thereat.
Fehim for ten or twelve years has
been the power behind the throne of
Abdul Hamid. Fehim Pasha's name
during decade has struck terror to the
hearts Of the inhabitants Of Constanti-
nople. Secure in his hold upon his
imperial master and the head Of the
most powerful clique Of palace officials
ever known in the Turkish capital, he
stopped at nothing, respected the
rights Of no one. Utterly unscrupulous
and seeking only his own advancement
and pleasures, the lives Of men and hon
or Of women have been equally at his
mercy. He became so powerful that he
could do no wrong, was amenable to
no laws. Other people had no rights
where Fehim Pasha was concerned.
One day he walked out Of his home
with a pistol in his hand and delib-
erately shot down fourteen persons,
who happened to cross his path. This
exploit was simply a method Of dem
onstrating that he stood higher than
the ordinary law. He devised methods
of graft and get-rich- quick schemes
that were brutal but effective. He
levied toll upon existing institutions
and created new ones upon which to
levy. But all this ended. Fehim's
downfall was brought about by the
German ambassador to the Sublime
Porte. A German firm bought car
go of lumber at a Black Sea port.
When 1t reached Constantinople Fehim
Pasha seized the ship and it's cargo
and was about to sell the prize. The
kaisers ambassador demanded the
surrender of the vessel and cargo and
arrest and punishment Of the pirate"
who had committed an "act of piracy"
Fehim refused to let go. The German
representative finally sent a note to
the Sublime Porte that unless the YES
sci was relieved in, two hours, twenty
men from the German dispatch boat
Lorelei, then in Bosphorus, would fore
IDLY take possession Of the vessel in
the name of the German emperor.
This clinched matters. The ship was
released instantly. The German am
bassador then insisted and kept insist
ing on an investigation and finally he
got it, At the investigation everybody
was against Fehim and he was ar
rested and finally sent in exile to Asia
Minor.
