A Collection of Old Coins.

A collection of Old coins was brought
to this Office some few days ago.
There were four pieces in the collec-
'tion, one of which was more than two
hundred years old. Old coins are very
interesting and no doubt this descrip-
ton may interest many.
Probably one of the oldest coins in
this county is an old copper coin
made in 1907 A. D. 1t is as large as a
dollar and is about one-eighth of an
inch thick, though around the edge
the rim is heavier and is more than
one-eighth inch thick. The coin is
much worn and on one side the bust
of King George, which is nearly en-
circled by this inscription, "Georgius
Rex" is nearly invisible and part Of
the inscription is so dim it can not be
read with the naked eye.
The other side has a goddess who
is seated and who has three pronged
spear in Ger left arm. Her right hand
is extended as though she were plead
ing for justice "Brittania 1907" are
the only visible words on this side. No
doubt this coin is very rare, as may
be the following ones:
The next oldest coin in this collec-
ton is dated 1871 and bears these
words 'EVoce Popoli'' together with the
date. This inscription encircles a god
dess who seems to be seated on 4
throne behind a gate On the other
side appears only these two words
"Georgius" and "Triumpho," which
are on either side Of the bust of King
George. This coin is Of copper and
is about the size of a United States
5O-cent piece.
The United States copper half cent
OF 1903 is about the size Of the silver
twent ty-fve-cent piece. It is about as
thick as the present day penny and
has a thick edge Half Cent is en-
circ,ed by a laurel wreath and near
the edge We find these words, United
States Of America" almost forming a
circle. The fraction 1-2OO completes
this circle. On the other side the God
degs of Liberty appears, with the word

FOR CONSIDERATION OF COUNCIL


We would respectfully call the at
tention of Mayor Wright and the city
council to the reading Of Section %
of the charter of the town Of New
berry, as published in the book Of
ccdifed ordinances of the town, as
issued by the city council in 1910, and
which, we understand, is still of force.
1t reads:
: "sec. %. That the said Mayor and
Aldermen shall publish, for at least
thirty days in each year, notice
showing the methods of taxation
adopted by them, and laying down the
rate of taxation in such notice, and
also prescribing the time when the
same shall be payable, which time of
payment the said Mayor and Aldermen
may, for good cause, extend, provided
the extension shall be general"
For the past two years the general
tax ordinance has been printed only
one time, so far as We have been able
to ascertain, and the license ordinance
not at all.
We would like to ask council if the
license ordinance. is a method of tax
alton adopted by them," and if it does
not prescribe "the time when the same
shall be payable" and if the does not
lay down the rate" And also if the
publication of the regular tax levy one
time in the papers is a compliance
with the precision of this section
which says for at least thirty days. ,
We have always understood from
good lawyers that the courts always
construed the tax laws very literally,
and is the levy of the tax legal when
the provisions of the charter have not
been complied with, and could the
council enforce the collection of the
license ordinance if the council failed
to comply with the requirements of the
charter. Prior to the administration
of Mayor Wright the license ordinance,
which is only for one year, was pub
lished each year when it was enacted,
but since that time it has not been
published at all. We presume it has
not been done in order to save few
dollars, but should council violate the
plain mandates of the charter under
which they exist to save few dollars?
These would be good question for the
council to consider at their meeting Oh
Tuesday evening.

WHY SEND TO OHIO?

The cattle" referred to in the clip
ping below, from the news columns of
the Greenwood Index, imported for
breeding purposes, are presumably Of
breeds not raised in South Carolina:
Reports from all sections of the
county indicate that the buyers are
highly pleased with the cattle recent
nly bought for them in Ohio b. Prof.
]. 0. Williams of Clemson college. The
cattle were in good shape on their ar
rival, due to the personal care given
them by Mr. Williams, and the people
are appreciative of his excellent serv-
ices OF the buying and care Of the cat
tie
At the state fairs, Jerseys, Here
fords, Red Polls and other varieties
are exhibited every year that are said
to be of extraordinary merit. They
are awarded prizes and to the eyes Of
the inexpert observer they would hold
their own witn the patrician bulls and
COWS OF Ohio or any other region Of
the United States. Everybody says
that We can raise cattle in the South
on equal terms with the West When
will the day arrive that purchasers OF
cattle for breeding purposes will buy
them from the enterprising and intel
aigent stockraisers of South Carolina? :?
What is the hope of establishing a cat
tie industry in South Carolina if the
notion persists that, for some reason
or other, Western cattle are superior?
Are they superior? We are from Mis-
souri, Further, we believe that the
thoroughbred and registered cattle eX-
hibited at the fairs, State and county,
Of South Carolina would sustain them
selves creditably in prize contests any
where in the country O+her things
being equal, cattle raised in South
Carolina ought to be superior, on ac-
count of climatization, to cattle raised
in Ohio.-The State.
We have been wondering just the
same thing. Only short time ago
some fine cattle were brought to New
berry to encourage in the raising of
cattle, and they were imported from
without the state. We wondered then
why it was No doubt there is a good
reason for it, especially in the minds
OF those who are importing the cattle,
but it would seem that from all the
s fine cattle raised in South Carolina we
might find some from which to i'm
prove our breed. If We can raise cat
tie in the South on the same terms
with these other fellows why not buy
from those, who have devoted their
time to improving their breed and not
send West wnen we want some fine
cattle. The cattle that were shipped
in there came from somewhere in the
West, We believe, and they were pur-
chased, as we understand, by an ex-
pert from Clemson college,

Prosperity i'm a Circle.

In a few words the Evening Led
ger of Philadelphia, sums up stu
alton that is facing the country at
the present time. 1t says:
Secretary of labor. Wilson has a
plan for wiping out unemployment.
Put the jobless to work, he says, 'on
land reclamation, Government build
ings and river and harbor improve
ments. Let Federal, State and muni-
cipal authorities do the same, and
there will be work all the year round
for those who want it,"
Good! 1t is a splendid time for the
beginning of great public enterprises
that would be undertaken anyhow.
But this idea of partial govern
ment that will always furnish work
and wages for the people is decidedly
awkward. No people ever get rich
by taking money out of one pocket
and putting it into another. There
can never be any permanent prosper
ity achieved by piling on taxes for the
purpose of doing them back to the
people in wages. That. nevertheless,
is the principle on which many of our
statesmen base their conclusions
They are convicted that business is
something to be whacked and gov
ernment something to be fed with
pap.
The sooner Washington under
stands that there viii always be un-
employment unless business is en-
coouraged instead of discouraged the
sooner the country will be back on q
bread -and-butter instead OF a soup
diet.-Bristoi (Pa) Courier.

Who can describe the Impotence
with which all Americans, of what
ever former party connection, who
have been ruined or injured by the
present Democratic tariff are look
ing forward to deliverance? Its eff
fects are comparable to those of war
in the promise of prompt relief a
star of hope and would pin their
faith to the party making it. or all
the failures and criminal mistakes of
the party in power, it has failed 4,
and failed almost absolutely, in al
most everything, its Tariff is the
worst. Among disasters il is catas-
trophe.
Efforts to shift the blame to the
war deceive nobody. The best judges
of business problems are publicly
expressing the opinion that but for
the European conflict our situation
would be worse than it is.
The sugar industry. an ideal pro-
Queer of customs revenue is facing
ruin. Parts of Louisiana are repre-
scented as already laid waste by the
progressive strangulation ordained
by the Underwood law. Hawaii is
experiencing the depression. The beet
sugar is beginning to be seriously
affected. The great wooden industry
was going from bad to worse until
partly revived by the war. The pas
ing of the dividend on it's common
stock by the United States Steel Cor
pOration was due to the Tariff as
much as to the war. Experts have
stated that selling prices and cost
of production in the steel business
are so close together one could not
pass a sheet of paper between them.
Relief from the conditions at the
earliest possible moment is what
vast majority of the people of this
country are eagerly demanding.
Hence, immediate action without
any of the delays involved in franz
ing new Tariff law is what is nee
ossary. The prompt re-enactment of
the Payne-Aldrich. law, which was a
reasonably satisfactory promoter Of
prosperity. seems the best if not the
only means Of obtaining this object.
All the United States needs is
another Mckinley, and sthere will be
q very gentle effort in 1916 to choose
as good a substitute as can be
found.

The cost OF the Panama Canal was

to think we spend for drink every
year six times the cost OF the Panama
Canal It is estimated that we
spend $50, 100000 annually for edu-
cation, and yet we spend for drink
more than three times that amount.

which is five times as great as any
taxation is would permit any politi-
Cal party to levy.
