DORSET ACCEPTS
ANOTHER CHARGE

FLOCK RELEASES HIM
Deacons Feel That Minister
Should Have Taken Them
Into His Confidence.
FLOCK RELEASES HIM

Rev. DR.. w. s. Dorset. who tender
ed his resignation two weeks ago as
pastor of Leigh Street Baptist church,
has accepted a charge in Johns IN.
s. {.
acceptance of fnYs
charge followed the action of his
Richmond congregation Sunday. when
his resignation was finally accepted
after he had been urged to reconsider
his determination to resign.
Or. Dorset wrote the South Caro-
lima church Monday morning saying he
had decided to return to that State,
where he lahored as -pastnr-nf-
church in Hartsville for ten years
before coming to Richmond three and
u half years ago
The Baptists of johnson are now
completing a new s25, 900 edifice. DR.
Dorset says. and he expects 1t to be
ready for him the latter part Of Au-
gust Johnson Is city OF 5000 souls,
located in the vicinity of Column bia,
and il one of the most prosperous OF
the smaller cities in the Palmetto
State.
Keeps His Own Counsel.
So far as can be learned, Or. Dor
set kept his own counsel in consider
ing the South Carolina offer. At any
rate. he failed to take the deacons
Of Leigh Street into his confidence
according to a statement made by a
leading member of the church Sunday
following final consideration OF the
pastoral matter.
When DR.. Dorset announced two
weeks ago that he could no longer
serve as pastor OF the church, feeling
as he did that the day of his useful
ness was past. the matter was refer
H. "A.
body acted on the matter several days
later and recommended that the res
ignation be accepted. The following
Sunday, the congregation by a close
vote decided to ask DR.. Dorset to re-
consider his resignation. DR.. Dorset
was out OF the city at that time. but
he made II very clear in letter
read to the congregation Sunday that
Under no circumstances would he
consent to remain.
Members In the Dark.
Dr. Dorsets last letter called forth
considerab BILE discussion, several mem
bers OF his congregation taking the
stand that the resignation should be
accepted without further ado, partic-
ularly as the pastor had failed to
make clear the reasons why he wish
cd to give up his charge in Rich
mond.
There are dozen rumors. more
or less, floating around" declared
Roll Clerk Winfree in somewhat
pointed talk. but no one seems ready
TO. come forward and say that sin
gle rumor is based on fact"
Like others who spoke in favor of
accepting the resignation. Mr.. Wlnfree
thought the time had come when the
congregation could take no other ac-
ton.
Resignation Accepted.
When put to a vote, the resigna-
ton was accepted by good majority.
DR.. Dorset's resignation becomes
effective July 81. He Will be allow

During the trial Mr., Smiths at

claring that the ~ and g" in "ev-

conform to the chirography of the
dead man. and that the signature

not Witnessed and that even Ii 1t did
reflect Mr.. Smiths intentions. they
were the intentions OF eight years pre-

have changed them since writing

Notwithstanding this contention,
attorneys for the widow declared that
the handwriting was genuine and that
nothing else in the shape OF a will
having been discovered, II was reason
able TO believe that the three words
written in the book which Mrs. Smith
found IN her husbands trunk must be
considered his last testament. The
jury decided that IL was Smiths win

impossible, in the opinion of many
to equal;ze this class of property as
compared with other places.

OF TAXES.
EQUALIZATION Problem Seems Harh 20
Solye-Loss of Dispensaty Reve-
nue. Felt.

Columbia, June 1.-THE refusal OF
Comptroller General Jones to confer
with the executive council OF the
State Bankers association, the TACT
that this is the year for reassessment
of property and the approaching
campaign, which, it is expected, Will
feature taxation questions, have
aroused a lively interest in the never
ending subject of taxation.
Throughout the State there have
been kicks" recently on the fact that
the boards of assessors have raised
the tax values, and property owners
have been complaining at the high
rate of taxation. Several things have
entered into the consideration. In
counties where the sale of whiskey
has been tabooed, naturally, it was
necessary to increase direct taxation,
and in other counties, in fact, nearly
all counties of the State, land and
property values have materially in
Creased within the past year.
{ While many people have been dis
posed to jump. upon corporations, it
has been conclusively shown by the
actual figures that country land is
the lowest assessed in proportion to
it's value than other property owned
by people in this State.
Equalization Of Taxes.
The principal trouble in this State
has been the fact that there have
arisen questions relating to the
equalization of taxes.
Comptroller General Jones has al
ways fought for the equalization OF
the property in the State. Several
weeks ago, in speaking of the situa-
ton in this State, ne said, much of
the property in this State is assessed
at a very low rate. This is caused
by the fact that the boards have not
done their duty. The tax laws of the
State are all right if they we're en-
forced"
Figures taken from the last annual
report of the comptroller general in
dictate that there is a wide difference
in the assessment of the banks OF
the State. Several Of the banks OF
the State are assessed at nearly their
Areal value, while others fall below 40

AWAIT NEXT DISPENSARY TURN.
Significant Statement by Judge De-
vore-Richland Grand Jury In
structed to Return.

Columbia, June Fudge Devore
announced in court of sessions this
morning that, at the request of the
attorney generals office, the grand
jury would return next Wednesday.
'"The attorney general will have
something for you them" was the
statement made in court today. The
grand jury had been asked to return
today, and it was generally expected
that some ~dispensary indictments
would be handed out, but, in accord
ance with the statement from the Of
fee of the attorney general, the mat
ter is postponed.
Attorney General Lyon was not in
the city, and it is thought that he is
now making arrangements for some
dispensary fire which will be started
up next week in the courts Of this
county. A number of attorneys and
others interested in the dispensary
situation appeared in the court room
this morning expecting something to
turn up in the dispensary cases. The
grand jury had some minor indict-
ments to consider, and then stood
adjourned until next Wednesday,
when it will return. Gen. John D.
Frost, former adjutant general Of this
State, is foreman of the grand jury.
With the dismissing of the grand
jury, for the time being. interest in
the ~dispensary cases does not end,
and there is yet much speculation as
to what the attorney general propos-
es to do at this term of the court. The
general impression today appeared to
be that the indictments to be handed
out to the grand jury would represent
new matter entirely.
Interest Revived.
The first intimation of the renewed
development in the dispensary mat
ters came last week, when upon mo-
ton Of Solicitor Cobb two indictments
charging conspiracy against mem
bers of the old dispensary directorate
and whiskey agents were taken from
the vaults and mol pressed as to
Morton A. Goodman, one of the whis-
key agents doing business here dur
ing the regime of the old State dis
pensary. The grand jury at the time,
was asked to return today, n mis-
vas the reason it was thought that
the indictments would be handed out
this morning. The absence of the
attorney general from the city and
the probability on his considering the
course at the present time caused the
postponement of the matters to come
before the grand jury.
In court circles the most plausible
conjecture is that the indictments to
be handed out next week will involve
persons not hitherto connected with
dispensary matters. That new mat
ter will centre around the testimony
of Motion A. Goodman is the conclu-
sion reached in this connection.
The two indictments in which Nor
ton A. Goodman goes free involve
more than $4,000 in alleged frauds
perpetrated against the State of South
Carolina.
The Big Conspiracy Indictment.
"No. so" is the big conspiracy in
dictment, which was mol pressed as
to Morton A. Goodman. After setting
out the position held by the members
Of the board of control, the indict-
ment on two counts charges the d.
rectorate and whiskey agents with
defrauding the State of South Caro-
lima of $4,000 and $4,000.

It will be seer that in nine coun-
ties of the State there are 81 banks
which are assessed at less than 55
per cent. of the capital, surplus and
undivided profits. In four of these
counties the banks are assessed at
less than As per cent.
It is recognized by the State Bank
ers' association that there should be
a change in the method of bank taxa
ton and that to this end a meeting of
the executive council should be held
to confer with the comptroller gener-
al, who a few days ago declined to do
this, saying that it would do no good.
Very many matters have come to
the attention of the comptroller gen.
eral where country property is not
properly assessed. For instance, a
few weeks ago someone wanted to
know, in GEORGETOWN county, if coun-
try land could properly be assessed
at $3.50 per acre. On the other hand,
there has been property which was
assessed above its value. The whole
matter, it seems, can be summed up
in one expression: Equalization is
needed.
EQUALIZATION Difficult.
