LODGED A PROTEST
WITH THE PREsIDENT-oBJEcT
TO ABoLIsRING INTERNAL
REVENUE DISTRICT.
BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Letter to President Taft Was
Prepared BY Secretary Handy
This Matter Is Of Interest to All
South Carolinians.

Columbia.-The Columbia Chamber
O.. Commerce, through its secretary.
A. Mop. Handy, has addressed a COM
munication to President Taft, present
ing reasons why the internal revenue
district of the state of South Carolina
should not be abolished or merged
with the district composed Of only a
portion of North Carolina.
The Chamber of Commerce sub
mits that the abolition of the dis
trict in this state could not be satisfac.
torily explained to the rest of the
country and would be detriment to
the states commercial interests.
The letter in part to President Taft
follows:
II have the honor, on behalf OF
the Columbia Chamber Of Commerce
and by direction OF the same, to pre-
sent for your consideration the follow
ing reasons why the internal revenue
district Of the state OF South Carolina
should not be abolished or merged
with district composed Of only a
part of the state Of North Carolina:
1T would seem to us that If the
two districts must be merged that
the district composed of only a part
of North Carolina should become a
part Of the district composed Of the
whole state OF South Carolina, with
headquarters in Columbia, instead OF
the reverse, with headquarters in
Raleigh.
1--WE would submit that the revenue
collected during the past fiscal year
in this district amounted to about
S1S5,000 and that inasmuch as the
difference between this amount and
the revenue collected by some Of the
states which are not to be abolished
is actually enough to pay the expense
of maintaining this district, that the
district OF the state of South Caro-
lima should not be abolished"

charasd With Killing Father.

Magistrate r. NJ Johnson Of Et
fngham, was in Florence with a ne
gro, Harvey Russell, charged with

had owned a little place near the de-
pot and had been farming on 1t with
a younger son, who died some time
ago and after his death, the older son,
sHarvey, came and took possession OF
and began to treat the old man very
cruelty, finally killing him
