1t is striking fact that the number
of corporations making returns is more
than five times the number showing a
tax due upon net profits. The total num-
Der Of returns received for 1872 was 2ss,-
49,, while the number showing tax due
was 55,129. This exhibition of unproht-
able or dormant corporations is Just as
large in the transportation world as In
the more speculative field of manufac-
ture, the number of returns showing a
tax due being only ASS out of public
service corporations to the number of
a.e24, while in industrials 1t is 49, a5 out
Of total OF 92.737. The largest proper
ton Of corporations subject to the tax Is
naturally found in banking and insur-
ance, where the number is 1o,s93 out Of
a total OF 3. 347 reports submitted.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-12-12

The development of the parcels
post is rapidly putting the express
companies out of business, and as we
see it, the express companies have
little else than themselves to blame.
Their policy has been one Of monopoly
almost from the beginning. If they
were not the first to apply the trust
principle, which has since grown to
such enormous proportions in this
country, thev were among the first.
Instead of giving the public the bene-
fit of increased traffic and the reduc-
tions justified by greater volume of
business, they seemed to become more
selfish and exacting, and even the
interstate commerce commission W.
unable to compel them to conduct
themselves with reasonable decency
They were mean to the public and to
their employees. There is still some
place for them, probably; but the
cream has been skinned off their mo-
nopoly and a long suffering public is
at last getting some show.

The general assembly next year con-

The general assembly next year con-
venes on January 13, and the Colum-
bia correspondent of the News and
Courier quotes Governor Blease as
saying that if any fighting is to be
done, the general assembly will have
to do it. 1t is the purpose of the gov
ernor to say what he has to say as to
various matters that have occupied at
tention during the past year and make
such recommendations as he sees
proper to make in his annual message,
and then have nothing more to say
unless it shall be practically forced
upOn him to say something. 1t is ex-
pected that he will review the militia
controversy of last summer, give full
expression of his views on the bond
refunding matter and treat Of numer-
Gus other things that he considers to
be of importance. According to the
understanding of the News and Cou-
rier correspondent, the message will
be a book Of a hundred pages, and If
so it will be out of the question for
the newspapers to undertake to print
it ALL Heretofore Governor Blease's
annual messages have been short; but
in the number of special messages
that he has sent to the general assem-
bly, dealing with all manner Of sub
jects, he has made a record that
stands alone.

Cheshire, who is now publishing his
paper at Seneca and calling 1t the Tri-
County Harpoon, went after Col.
Charles Carroll Sims in a recent is
sue as follows:
Charles Carroll Sims, candidate for
governor Of South Carolina, who has
grabbed the whole Of Blease's coat
tail and Is making a desperate effort
to wrap his legs around Coles body
was the first speaker at the Orr mills
meeting Friday night. Fact Is, he
spoke so long that a large portion Of
the audience went to sleep and were
not brought to their senses until
Chairman Dagnall announced that
Cole was the next speaker. While
nice old gentleman. Mr.. Sims Is en-
tirely behind the times and does not
appear to be as progressive or have as
much life as Former Governor Ansel
or the late" Ira Jones. He seems to be
running for governor solely on his
pas merits, who was a poet and au-
thor of some note. Mr.. Sims was evil
IDENTIFY cut out for minister; certain
ly not a politician or statesman. He
began and ended his address much IN
the style of high school girl. His
carburreter seemed to be out OF ad-
justment and his magnetic was COM
pletely out Of commission. AS for his
spark-plugs, they failed to touch Off
and as a result he was unable to cause
his hearers to sit up and take notice.
II Brother Sims should accidentally be
elected governor, this progressive
state would, during his term OF office.
occupy the same position as did Rip
Van Winkle during his long sleep.
No, Charles Carroll Sims will never
be governor Of South Carolina. He
misunderstood the call as did Ira
Jones, now a statesman without Job.

ed, especially in corn farming, and we
do not think that any reasonable man
will deny that what has been done by
these boys can be done by other peo-
pie by the use of the same means
1t is not worth while to stress the
fact that the boys could do better
than they have done. 1t is not fair to
do so, especially in a spirit of criti-
cism, and they will not understand us
that way; but they themselves real
ize that even they can do better. The
boy who made 116 bushels on an acre
can make more, and the boys who
made less than 116 bushels can do as
we'll as the boy who led the list. At
least it is in the range of possibility.
But the all important thing now is
for another big effort next year. There
will not be a better time to start than
today. Today is better than tomor-
row, and tomorrow will be better than
Monday. In short no time should be
lost.
Another thing, let everybody join
hands in promoting the work of the
Corn Club. Everybody is interested.
These boys ale showing their fathers
the way to better results. We do not
mean that the boys are smarter or
ADLER than their fathers-not that. But
the fathers cannot help being interest
ested in the aspirations of the boys
and they will spare no effort of thought
or action to help the good work along.
The net outcome of the whole idea is
that the more corn that is produced,
the more wealth there will be and the
more wealth there is, especially of
this kind of wealth, the more general
happiness and prosperity.
