No Revision Without Bill.

Mr.. Blackburn in his argument for
the Lipscomb bill made the pat state.
ment that without state board, we
would remain right where We are IL
so far as real revision and equalization
are concerned.
Mr.. Sheppard spoke at length in op
position to the Lipscomb bill and IN
advocacy of his substitute. He was
subjected to a constant cross-firo
of questions, and it is to be admitted
in justice that he knows how to take
care Of himself in that sort of RUNNING
debate. His replies were crisp, point
/ ed and, if not always open to reply II.
some quick thrust, he is sufficient
master of the art of debate to turn Il
clever answer always.
During his speech Mr.. Lipscomb, au,
thor of the bill, asked:
Isn't it true, Mr.. Sheppard, that you
wrote letter saying that 100 Sumter
county farms had been sold within re,
cent months at prices ranging from
$35 to 500 per acre?'
Il do not recall writing any such let.
ter" was the reply.
"Will you allow me to quote from
that letter." asked Mr.. Lipscomb.

letter written by my firm began Mr.
Sheppard when Mr.. Cover, of Crisp
made the point that the matter wa
irrelevant and the speaker sustaine
him.

yesterday afternoon, the commission.

sion of the harbor laws, their object

such a way as to make the wharVes

field, Mccarthy and Berndt, who were
present at the meeting, were unani-
nous in the opinion that the narbor
and wharf departments should be
placed on a self-supporting Dasis, and
the meeting was largely ta:en up by
discussion with the attorney general
as to. the proper amendment of the
present laws. One feature of the bill
will be the providing of charge on
incoming as we'll as on outgoing car
goes, it being claimed that local mer-
chants should bear some of the eX-
