to remedy these defects my bill pro-
poses to abolish the condition reports
of June and July, and make the first
condition report on August 1, when, |
think, all will agree the condition of
the crop at that time does give a fair
ly accurate forecast of what We may
expect finally of it. The September
and October reports of the present
system are continued, because I re-
gard them as of great value In ad-
vising the public as to the ultimate
outcome of the crop. The farmer
should have this, that he may better
sell his crop, and if the government
does not furnish it to him in thor
oughly unbiased and unprejudiced
way, the speculator will, in such man
ner as best serves his own purpose.
"The final estimate Of December is
continued, and this estimate has prov
en- in the past to those who are well
informed Of great benefit to the trade.
I am confident the changes suggested
by my bill will make these reports
more reliable and more satisfactory,
and I have hope of favorable action
upon it.
"I am now preparing another bill,
through which it is intended that as
we have given reports as to the PRO-
duction, it IS matter of justice to the
producers that we should give them
a full report as to the mill takings,
mill holdings, warehouse holdings,
consumption and demand. This is on
" fair, though the problem Of arriV-
ing at the figures is much more diff
cult. It will be remembered that sew
eral years ago I had passed a resolu-
ton directing the bureau Of the census
to issue quarterly reports along these
lines. These reports are being issued
as directed by law, but time has prov
en- that they are not sufficiently COM
prehensive, nor are they issued with
sufficient frequency, I have taken this
matter up with the director Of the cen
sus, and in conference with him and
the chief of the division of agriculture
we are endeavoring to work out a
plan by which we can furnish, along
with the ginners' reports a compre-
hensive report as to consumption and
demand, and the like of cotton.'

the house committee on agriculture,

TAX AROUSES .SALUDA.
The Citizens Resolve Not to Pay So
Spirited Mass Meeting Was
Held.

Saluda, Dec. line cOnnlcllnS
views of the county board of commis-
sioners and of the citizens of this
county, or a, large number of them, as
to the meaning of the act of the leg
isiature passed last February as to the
communication road tax for Saluda
county are far from reconciliation and
the recent mass meeting held there,
the expressions therein made and the
resolutions passed show the attitude
Of those present. It was one of the
largest meetings ever held in the
court house, every available space be-
ing taken up.
For several months a controversy
has been going on partly through the
press of the county and partly by way
of public meetings over the construc-
ton of the act referred to. It seems
that the supervisor and his board con-
strued the act to mean that he had
the right to demand the payment for
this year of a communication road tax
of So in lieu of working the roads and
to that end early in the spring revoked
the commissions of all oVerseers and
called in all road tools and caused a
notice to be published asking that the
tax be paid.
Refused to Have Tax Entered.
The township board Of assessors re-
fused to have the tax entered, and
when an appeal was made to the coun-
ty auditor to enter it as per list fur
nished to him by the county board he
refused to do so until he was satisfied
it was his duty to do so under the law.
More or less correspondence be-
tween the comptroller and the auditor
followed and finally when a special
book was furnished the auditor enter
ed the road tax to be collected along
with other taxes, but for the year 1912
instead of for 1911.
Auditor Hazel made a statement in
the meeting explaining his attitude in
the matter, and from expressions his
position was unanimously endorsed.
Resolution Adopted.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
"First, That We do not pay the
communication tax until after the leg
I islature meets or until the county
board agrees to reduce it to So.
Second. That We hereby petition
our representative to pass a law tc
reduce the communication tax to 50 and
to exempt minors from the payment
thereof.
s'Third. That all commutatlon ta3
collected in any school district shal
be expended in that school district" {"

It was also resolved that the Office

at once to bring Andy BarroUs before
Miss Heath, and compel him to con
fess his part in the miserable scheme
to spoil the lives of his brother and
his brothers sweetheart
A small schooner was procured and
loaded. It was planned to capture
andy Barrows-Hopper. and bring him
to New Orleans General Butler,
when consulted, said the plan was a
crazy one, but Moncossus declared he
could carry 1t out. 1t did seem a DIFF
fcult undertaking, but Moncossus was
willing and anxious to take the risk
and abide by the consequences.
When the little boat arrived at
Vaudeville 1t was unloaded and taken

cotton Hopper" was there TO super
intend the delivery of the cotton.
When the schooner was ready to sail
he came on board. with two Other
men. expecting to be landed at Mande-
VILE as the schooner passed on It's
way to New Orleans. The wind was
blowing heavily that day, dead ahead
when the boat pointed toward Mande-
Vile. but we'll in favor when she was
headed across the bay toward New
Orleans
Hopper's two assistants were perch
ed upon a cotton bale with their legs
hanging over the windward rail at
the moment Colonel Moncossus put
the helm down hard and let go the
main sheet. The boom swung over
with great force, the boat gave sud
den lurch, and the two men sitting
on the cotton bale were knocked into
the lake
"Heave her TO-" shouted Hopper, at
the same time drawing his revolver.
The next instant he was lying on the
deck. A bullet had pierced his side
from the forward part of the schooner.

Not long after this Miss Heath re-
ported to me that she had discovered
Malcolm Thomson, and was sure he
was engaged in some kind of crooked
business. l sent skilled man to the
neighborhOOd where Thomson was liv-
ing, to cultivate that gentleman's
acquaintance. Soon he discovered
that Thomson was carrying on a thri-
wing business smuggling goods across
Lake Pontchartrain into the Confed-
eracy. Also it was found out that
Thomson was greatly afraid of detec-
ton by the federal authorities. Like
all crooks he deemed everyone else
crooked, and was seeking an alliance
with someone who could fix" the ru-
ling powers. This timidity led him
to take into his confidence the detect

Moncossus easily arranged a part
