board of trustees OF Chicora college
constituting a majority of the
board at their meeting of July q
voted In favor of the proposition that
was submitted and later accepted by
the city of Laurens, they were i'm
plored by the minority to defer such
action until time when full at
tendance of the boards members
could be had. A deaf ear was turned
to the opportunities and arguments of
the few.
At the meeting of July 10, attend
ed by 25 members of the board, lack
ing only three of being it's full mem
bership, the vote in favor Of rescind-
ing the action Of the meeting of July
z, in reference to the removal of the
college to Laurens, stood: Fifteen In
favor Of resembling, nine against re-
scinding (with one exception twas
the immortal nine of the former
vote), with the chairman, who was
In favor Of resembling, not voting.
Unfairness to Laurens, and what a
Ilcn mOrSel THIS was under the
tongues of the nine-though she only
lost what she hoped TO get, losing
absolutely nothing that she possess
ed, but this treatment, must not be
tolerated, though the gravest injus-
tice might be done to Chicora col
lege, Greenville, and the synod of
South Carolina IN the righting of
Laurens' wrong.
The meaning of the resolution last
adopted by the board of trustees of
Chicora college, sending the matter
to the Presbyterians for settlement,
Is somewhat obscured to most people
by its phaseology.
1t is in no sense n request that
the presbyteries indorse the boards
action of July 2, but is only to place
the entire matter in the hands of
these higher tribunals that they might
sift the entire transaction, in the light
of the subsequent acts of the more
fully attended boards, and render
even and exact justice to all.

aiertness, in the face OF the many ru-
forth, tends more to incriminate us
than to clear US. The committee puts
the county In the unfortunate attitude
of crying innocent before charges
have been made. Such an attitude
presupposes guilt.
The Advertiser has all along hoped
that the executive committee would
undertake to do In this county what
other such committees have done in
other counties, viz, make a thorough
or falsity of the charges being scat
tered abroad. Charges have been
rumored and made in this county and
the county owes it, to itself to have
them cleared up. An investigation of
this kind cannot be made in few
hours. If no fraud is found, then,
the fair name" OF the county will be
unblemished. If fraud Is found and
the guilty parties punished, 1t can
further be said that Laurens county
S' "o' Nouoho iiauu III eleCtlon,
that while there are few who will
so stultify themselves, the other citi-
zens of the county will not sit idly by
and see 1t go without punishment.
For this reason, we hope that the
committee was only unfortunate in It's
phraseology and that no opposition
Will be met with when we ask for the
rolls to be published in order to clear
up the situation. We hope to publish
these rolls next week.

NEW RACE NEAR THE POLE
Explorers Steffansson and Anderson
Find Men With Red Boards in
Victoria Land.

Tidngs OF hitherto unknown race
haze been received in dispatches from
Stefansson and Anderson, who are
conducting an expedition in the far
north.
The strange race was located in
Victoria Land, north of Cape Bexley.
One theory of their origin Is that
they may be descendants of an an
cient lcelandic colony from Green
land. Or unusual interest Is the fact
that the natives bear names that can
be translated into English, suggesting
that survivors of the Franklin expedi-
ton may have lived among them.
They have some Scandinavian char
acteristics and are different from any
other American aborigines. Two of
them wore boards of reddish color
and all had light eyebrows. Nothing
learned from them indicated that the
race as 1t exists today had ever seen
a white man.
The courier who first went forward
to parley with them almost lost his
life, when a native attacked him with
a knife Friendly advances were final
ly successful, and by means of the
sign language and the assistance of
native guides communication was held.
The race was an aboriginal one
called A-ku-li.a .kat.tag.mi-ut. 1t had
been believed that the territory was
uninhabited.

OFFSET OF INCOME TAX BY
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX,

The income tax is payable to the
town, city and village treasurers at the
same time and place as the property
tax.
When the income tax and the per-
sonal property tax are both assessed in
the same district and ~the taxpayer is
not assess ed for income tax in any 9TH
ersdistri:t, the taxpayer will simply
pay the larger tax and obtain two re-
ceipts, one for personal property and
one for income tax.
If the taxpayer wishes to use per-
soma tax receipt issued in one district
TO Offset income tax assessed in another
district, the following procedure should
be observed:
Secure a separate personal property
tax receipt and have the treasurer en-
dorse on it the amount used to offset
income tax in that district
Present or mail this personal tax re-
ceipt TO the Assessor of Incomes of the
county in which it was issued and apply
for Special Offset Receipts covering
the balance of personal property tax.
This application should state the
amount desired for offset in each other
district in which the taxpayer has in
come tax to pay, giving the correct
name of such district and the county in
which situated.
Offset receipts for balance of person
al property tax will be issued with cou-
pons, which coupons will be accepted
only for the amount entered upon them
and in the district for which they are
issued.
The taxpayer should pay his person
al property taxes in time to secure
special coupon receipts from the Asses
sor of Incomes and forward them to the
local treasurer against whom they are
issued. Penalties are imposed if the
taxes are not paid on or before January
81, 1913
Ordinary personal property tax re-
ceipts will not be received in offset in
districts other than that in which issu-
ed.
The exact name is important. For
instance, firm cannot use its personal
property tax receipt to offset the in
come tax of its members.
1t is a common practice to write a
personal property tax receipt at the
bottom of the real estate receipt. Tax
payers should therefore request Sc
parate personal tax receipt whenever
they wish to use the latter to secure
the special offset receipts mentioned
above.

SNAIL'S TRIP ON RAZOR EDGE
Scientist Makes Interesting Discovery
While Studying MoIlusk's Method
Of locomotion.

when photographing the SNAIL"
writes Professor Ward in the Strand,
Il was surprised at the fact that even
the roagh cut edge Of sheet of glass
presented no difficulties to its loco
motion; its even pace was continued
in spite OF the fact that the sharp cor
ner appeared to be penetrating its
body. There, too, We have exhibited
the animals delicate sense Of touch.
and this led me to make further ex-
pertinent.
After l had placed the snail on the
butt of razor's blade it slowly moved
along the back of the blade and then
climbed completely over the sharp
edge, the razor being in excellent con-
dition. AS the successive waves
brought the fore part Of its foot near
the edge of the blade it's head was
held low down, and the lower and
shorter pair Of feelers nearly touched
the blade, as If feeling the way.
AT the moment when the sharp
edge was reached the small feelers
were fully extended toward it, and
just at the very instant when / eX-
pected to see them cut off they were
both instantly retracted They were
little more than hair breadth away,
and though the lower feelers possess
no eyes, yet by their sudden move
ment l was quite convinced that the
snail at that instant recognized dan
ger
still the foot travelled on, and
slowly the snail dragged it's whole
weight of exactly one and half
ounces over the edge, later moving to-
ward the butt and remaining perfectly
unframed. The species experimental
with vas the Roman or edible kind,
which accounts fer its comparatively
large weight, it being the largest of
British snails."
