The income tax law should be re-
pealed or enforced. The law provides
for a graduated tax on incomes above
$25OO a year. The law has been on
the books for ten years and the total
tax paid during that time is As,-
929.lO. Last year the amount collect
ed was $8,554.88. Nothing was col
lected in the counties of Bambe"gg,
Barnwell, Beaufort, Berkeley, Ches-
terrified, Clarendon, Colleton, Darling
ton. Dorchester, Florence, Greenwood,
Hampton, Horny, Laurens, Lee, Pick
ems, Saluda, Williamsburg, during
1908, which means that no citizen OF
anv Of these counties had an income
during last year in excess OF S2:ooo'
The following counties show tax
collected from this source: Abbeville,
s47.OO; Aiken, $116.45; Anderson,
5000; Charleston, $3,57.4O; Chero-
kee, $10l1S; Edgefield, $247.5o;
Fairfield, $41.06; Georgetown, $780,
03; Greenville, $2l.O5; kershaw,
s114.S5; Lancaster, $58.I; Lexlns-
ton, $3.50; Marion, $36.25, Marlboro,
$500; Newberry, $205.9i; oconee
$11.5O; Orangeburg, Sl24.3o;- Rich
land s1,19l.49; Spartanburs, ST.,
4O1.O4; Sumter, $323.93: Union,
$325.5O; York, $2ll.2o.
Just think Of the rich ccul.ti5s OF
Greenville and Anderson having SO
few persons whose incomes exceed ST.
10000. And Greenwood having not
one. Better repeal the law.

Three Dreams Of Love.

dreamed a dream in, childhood,
A dream Of stars and flowers,
Of dainty fairies dancing
In dewy woodland bowers,
And, walking there among them,
A prince, in gold and green,
Who crowned me with sweet blossoms
Anw chose me for his queen.
I dreamed a dream in girlhood,
A dream of fair romance,
Of castle courts resounding
To clash Of spear and Lance,
And, all in shining armor
With waving plumes above,
A knight knelt then before me
And chose me for his love.
I dreamed a dream last night, dear.
Of low, fire-lit room,
With crimson curtains hiding
The winter SHOWS and gloom,
And in the warmth and brightness
You came to me alone
And told me that you loved me,
And claimed me for your own.

New Idea Woman's Magazine.

Maybe some Of the members Of the
legislature fear that if they pass 4
prohibition bill at this session Of the
legislature the people will have for
gotten the part they played in it by
the time the next election comes
around.-Anderson Mail.
1t does look some times like there
are prohibitionists who are such only
for political purposes but then WE
should not question their motives and
should remember that an honest man
may change his opinion and still be
honest.

The Charleston Post wants Gov.
Ansel to say whether or not ne would
veto Statewide prohibition measure
if it were passed by the legislature
The governor does not answer and IN
this he is right. 1t is not fair to ask
him any such question. 1t is plenty
time for him to consider the question
after it is up to him.

THE GOOD ROADS SENTIMENT

The Anderson Mail is talking ABOUT
good roads seemingly forgetting the
political fate Of Senator Murray IN
consequence Of his having made a
wonderful Improvement Of the roads
in Anderson county. While the good
work which Mr.. Murray did is a
standing monument to him and to his
public spirit, yet the good roads were
the cause of his political downfall. he
was so far head Of the people that
they turned on him because OF his
best service to them and to his coun-
tv.-Abbeville Press and Banner.
All this is true. Mr.. Murray made
himself very unpopular for a while
because of good roads measure that
he put through the legislature and
vet to day the memory Of Edwards
Murray is honored as highly as that
of any man that ever lived in Ander-
son county. And during his life time
Mr.. Murray never worried. He knew
that he had done something for the
people of his county, and that they
would come to appreciate it.
Times change, and people change
with them. The good roads sentiment
is stronger in this county now than it
was years ago. and it is getting
stronger. It is not as strong now as
it is going to be.
Some Of the small calibre fellows
who are still opposing it are goin1g to
wake up some fine morning and find
that they have been left behind in tie
march of progress. They will lind
that their argument against "inereas-
ing taxes''-an argument that finds
favor only among people who pay the
least taxes-will no longer be effec-
tive. And then we will 60 Forward
Anderson Mail.
The good roads sentiment is grow
ing. Not only in Anderson but all
over the State. It is fact, though,
that those who lead in these advances
movements never get the credit
for the work they do and those wto
come in when the work is done get
what is to be had, but that should not
and will not deter any one who is
sincere and honest in his efforts for
the best interests Of his people from
going ahead with the work. We are
opposed to useless and unnecessary
expenditure Of the peoples money but
money spent in building roads is diff
farent. It is an investment which vii;
pay larger dividends than any other
investment Of tax money the people
can make.
It is true, also, those who pay the
least and who will get the greatest
benefit from improved highways are
the ones who generally oppose the tax
for this purpose.
The sentiment in favor of perma-
nent work Is growing. 10 Speno
money in any other work is waste.
\ property tax is the way to raise the
money. An annual tax would be our
densome if a sufficient levy was made
to raise money to accomplish any re-
suits. The only other plan is bond
issue and an annual tax to pay the
interest and raise a sinking fund to
pay the bonds at maturity. In this
way we will get the roads and by
CARRYING the tax over several years
will make the burden light.
Several counties in North Carolina
have issued bonds and are building
roads.

Roads League Of Newberry and the
chamber of commerce to be submit
ted to our delegation, if passed, and

SUES MRS. CLARENCE MACkAY
OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN THINKS
SHE OWES HIM $4,000.
Claims Payment for Services OF
Campanini and Manhattan Opera
House Orchestra.

NEW YORK October c9.--Oscar Ham,
merstein began suit yesterday against
Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay in the supreme
court to recover 5000 for the services
OF Campanini and the Manhattan Opera
House Orchestra the night % Sunday.
January 81 1909
Hammerstein says that he has sent
bills to Mrs. Mackay several times. and
even had sent his son. Arthur Hammer
stein, to talk the matter over with her.
He says he heard nothing from the bills
which he sent. and Mrs. Mackay refused
to see his son. sending down word that
If he had business with her he would
have to see her secretary.
What It Was All For.
Campanini and the orchestra appeared
at musical given by Mrs. Mackay at
her home. a. Madison avenue. Hammer
stein understands that Mrs. Mackay paid
several hundred dollars to the members
OF the orchestra and that she gave Cam
panini diamond pin and gold-headed
baton. Hammerstein. however. did not
get anything, he says.
According to Hammerstein. the ar
rangement for the musical were made
with Campanini. Mrs. Mackay not even
consulting the impresario of the Manhat-
tdU ABOUT tneN. he Is however.
,hat he had the call on the services Of
both the conductor and the orchestra,
and that II is he who should be paid for
whatever playing they did outside the
opera house.
Mrs. Mackay's Interest Gone.
Mrs. Mackay year ago made a house,
toulouse canvass of her friends to make
Wednesday night the fashionable night
at the Manhattan Opera House. just AZ
Monday is the fashionable night at the
Metropolitan She took six boxes for
herself and friends Among others who
occupied these boxes were Mrs. George
j. Gould and Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish.
But Mrs. Mackays attitude toward the
opera house in West 34th street changed
when Hammerstein parted company with
his chief conductor, Campanini. Both
she and her friends gave up their boxes
and all interest in the house or its sue
cess or failure with the leaving of the
conductor.
Hammersten said last night that Mrs.
Mackays lawyers had sent word that if
he would wait until Mackay returned
from the west perhaps matters might be
satisfactorily adjusted, but the impre-
Sario said he was tired OF waiting.
