EXPECTS GOOD IN FUTURE
G. w. Neville, Noted Greenville Cotton
Trader, Talks Of the Conditions
of Future.

Greenville.-T am an optimist, al
ways an optimist," said George w.
Neville, formerly president of the New
York cotton exchange. The statement
was made recently when Mr. Neville
was asked concerning the business
conditions of the nation. He was in
Greenville on bushes visit to c. S.
Webb, his partner.
Discoursing upon the outlook, Mr..
Neville said that the New York bank
eTs saw no bugaboo in the new cur
rency law, that they were very hope
full concerning the outlook for busi-
ness, and especially welcomed that
section of the federal reserve act
which provides that the government
shall recognize commercial paper as
collateral. Hitherto, said the speak
er, commercial paper has been an "un-
digestible lump, so far as the ultimate
banker is concerned" Now this lump
is an asset, more than ever before.
The reserve act was characterized as
marvel in its way" It's workings,
said he, will be beneficial, as it makes
the currency flexible without working
hardship.
Wall street, said Mr.. Neville, and
New York business generally, are not
conspiring to rob the rest of the coun-
try. The business interests did oppose
the currency bi las it passed the
house, but regard the final form Of
the measure as acceptable. A promi-
nent banker recently said to MIR. New
lille that the new law was seven
eighths good, and that the other eighth
could be corrected.
The speaker said he was sure that
President Wilson would appoint only
fit men to the federal reserve board,
and then he went on to say that this
board was almost, if not quite, as i'm
portant as the supreme court Of the
United States. 1t will control great
branch of the government. The loca-
tion of the reserve cities, said Mr.
Neville, was to his mind one Of the

Improve Waterway.

Cherleston.-Federal Improvement
of the inland waterway from Char
lesion to Savannah to secure on
available channel depth Of seven feet
at low water and channel widths Of
from IS to 100 feet, increased at en-
frances and on curves, at an estimated
cost of 100000, of which 100000 is
for actual construction and $4,000 for
maintenance, which was recommended
recently by the war department, is a
matter of vital interest to commercial
interests of Charleston and Savannah
and towns situated along the route;
already the votes of approval Of the
project has been heard in Charleston.
The improvement would mean much
to the commercial life of both Char
lesion and Savannah, as we'll as the
section through which the route
passes, in that it would permit of a
very material increase in the amount
of commerce now handled on these
waterways. The matter should be Of
interest in Columbia arso as it would
give the Columbia Charleston water
way a greater opening, putting Co.

SOUTH CAROLINA ESTIMATES
FOR RUNNING EXPENSES Ex-
CEEDS REVENUE.
CONSIDER THE TAX QUESTION
af All Estimates Asked For Are Allow
ed Taxes Will Have to Be Raised
Two Mills to Prevent Deficit in the
Treasury.

Columbia. - South Carolina faces
q grave problem, according to the
estimates of expenses made by the
various state officials and heads OF
departments in the matter OF ap-
preparations and income for the year
1914. According to the comptroller
general if the general assembly makes
all the appropriations asked for, the
tax levy will have to be seven and
threetenths mills as against five and
one-fourth last year.
Comptoller General Jones says
that the states revenue for 1914 from
taxes estimated and based upon the
present assessment of $296, 6,441,120, at a
rate of five and one-fourth mills on
the dollar would be $1,556,315.SS. To
this he adds the estimated income
from sources other than taxes such as
insurance license fees, fees of the
secretary of state, corporation license
fees, income tax, support Of the rail-
road commissioner, etc., to the amount
of s310,925. Mr.. Jones says: And
we have a total estimated revenue for
ordinary expenses for 1914 Of $1,S67,-
240.S.
"The estimated levy Of five and
one-fourth mills is the same as last
year. 1t will be seen by reference to
the amounts of appropriations asked
for, $2,47S,440.32, that they will ex-
coed the estimated revenue Of the
state under levy of five and one
fourth mills by s611,299.44. If you
made all the appropriations asked for,
it would be necessary to make rate
of seven and three-tenths mills on
the dollar to raise them. This does
not take into consideration the one
mill state tax, which will raise $685.

The amounts asked for in the va
