TAX COMMISSION COMING.
tctlon OF Supervisors IN Iron River
Case i The Cause Of Visit.

The niate tax commission IS coming
% IRON county TO iron oat trouble be-
tween thc county board Of supervisors
and the assessing officers OF the town
ship Of Iron River. Just when the
commission viii visit the county has
not been announced but as each OF the
supervisors has been notified not TO
spread the county. county road and
state taxes il is thought that the time
Is not far away.
The cause of the visit is the differ
ence in opinion between the township,
officers of Iron River and the county
board of supervisors in the matter OF
the equalization OF the several asses
sing districts of the county and it
arises for the following reason.
The annual equalization of the sew
eral assessing districts of the county
was made this year in June as II is a
year in which the state board OF
equalization met. AT that time the
township OF Iron River was assessed
on par with its value last year, the,
board of review not having az that.
time concluded its labors The roll
footings were therefore taken i'm the
equalization.
When the annual meeting time came
about and the supervisors came to-
spread the taxes for state, county and
county road purposes, IL was found
that tile township board OF review OF
the township OF Iron River had de-
Quoted 100000 from the assessment
from which the equalization had been
made in June so the board simply
added 100000 20 the assessed value
OF Iron River township and apportion-
ed the state. county and county road
taxes on that basis. Supervisor Will

moNorOLIzED JuRY's ATTENTION
Iron County blind Pig Gases Kept
Federal Grand Jury Busy.


From information which we have
received Iron county has had the MAJ
jor potion 81 the attention Of the
grand jury in the federal court al
Marquette This fact Is due 10 the
activity Of the federal revenue officers
In getting after a lot Of blind piggers
IN this county.
The grand jury was in session at
the regular term OF court in Septem-
ber and spent most of its time con-
siderlng the evidence at hand against
the alleged violators. SO much of this
business was presented that Judge
Sessions adjourned court until this
week and called the jury back to
conclude its labors.
Officials of the court expect lot
OF indictments as result of this
work. AT any rate the jurymen have
a very good idea of the amount of
Illicit liquor business done in this
county. 1t is said that the jurymen
we're astonished at the immense
amount OF liquor that has been dis
posed of in Iron county during the
past two years.

MR. ALFRED COLLINS

Mr. Alfred Collins, who was con-
nected with various newspapers IN
South Carolina at dicerent times died
recently in Lima, Ohio. He spent sew
eral months in Greenwood in 1902
when he issued the Twentieth Cen
tury Edition" of The Index. Previous
to that time he was in Newberry. He
once edited an afternoon daily in
Spartanburg and was also in Green
Vile. He was a newspaper worker
of ability and was faithful and loyal
to all tasks imposed upon him. Those
who knew him we'll esteemed him
highly. He was buried from the
Episcopal church of Lima. The fact
recalls that often he spoke in deep
affection of his church and especially
of it's burial service, lone for rich or
poor" no difference to be shown
Greenwood Index.
There are some people in Newberry
who will remember Mr.. Collins. He
was here for several months several
years ago and assisted in the prblica-
ton of a special edition of The Herald
and News. We have a group picture
of our Office force at the time in which
his picture is. We found him a very
clever gentleman and a good news
paper man. Only a few years ago we
saw him in Greenville.

ONE

That is a fine piece of work that
Capt. Joe Werts has done on Caldwell
street in front of the Baptist church.
1t helps the looks of things in that
neighborhood and also will help the
pleasure Of travel over the street.
We we're just wondering if we could
not get the members Of the Baptist
church interested to the extent of CO.
operating with the city in placing a
curbing and blind ditch along the
side of, the church on Boundary street.
Ie this could be done the cost would
not be great and the street could be
widened and the appearance of the
street greatly improved. A little CO.
operation on the part Of the property
owners along the street might induce
the city to have this work done. The
Baptist have a beautiful and church
ly building and the improvement OF
the street along side the property
helps disappearance of things very
much. lAnd if there is place that we
should try to keep nice and abrasive
it is the church and the school,. We un-
derstand that it is the purpose of May
or Wright to improve the sidewolks
OF all the streets leading directly to
the several schools of the city and in
this he is perfectly correct, and the
same thing applies with even greater
force to the improvement of the
streets and walks leading to and along
side the churches of the city. We
would be glad to have Alderman Sem
take this matter of widening and i'm
proving this section of Boundary
street up with the church and the
citizens of the neighborhood. 1t is
worth while doing and would be a
service to the entire ward. And then
this street is one of the main arteries
leading into the city. Permanent work
on the streets is what is needed and
this would be in the nature of per-
manent work.

manent work

We would like to make hint to
the young ladies who are going after
the prizes offered by The Herald and
News, and it is this: Get a mailing
list and go after those fellows who
have been taking the paper and have
permitted themselves to get in ar
rears. We would rather have that
money than money for new ones. Our
list is big enough with the high price
Of paper. There is very little money
in the price of the paper and the av-
erage advertiser does not want to pay
for circulation, all he wants is space
Our circulation was over 1000 before
the contest began and already the
young ladies have added something ov.
er two hundred. And all are not yet in
who have subscribed. Get the ole
fellows. 81

Our friend Greene of the Abbeville
Press and Banner is correct in his
position on the rotation of circuit
judges. We never did think it was a
good thing for the judge nor for the
litigant to have the judges running
all over the State. Let each judge
remain in his own circuit He be-
comes acquainted with the litigants
and the cases and can very easily do
more work and with greater comfort
and less expense to himself, and We
believe that the ends of justice will
be better conserved. A good law to
pass at the next session of the legis-
lature would be to stop running the
circuit judges all over the State and
let each one remain in his own cir
cult. Now and then It might be we'll
to let them exchange if they so de-
sire. By remaining in their own cir
cults they could get home more fire.

After writing column to explain
what he meant and to say that ne had
no proof except circumstantial evil
dence that Mr.. Blease was the PAID
representative of the whiskey trust,
the Gahney Ledger says: "since Mr'
Btease's supporters are disposed to
mt a different construction on what
we intended as perfectly harmless re
ference to Mr.. Blease and the whis-
key trust, we have no hesitancy in say
ing that we regret the original para
graph, and offer apologies to all per-
ties concerned"
The Herald and News has not men
toned the matter to Mr.. Blease and we
do not know that he saw the origin
al reference to this matter in the
Ledger. And what we said about the
Ledger's article was not a warning
but a simple desire to see the right
and justice prevail.

We republish from the Yorkville

We republish from the Yorkville
ENQUIRER an editorial comment on an
editorial of the Greenville News to
which we direct the attention Of the
reader. 1t deals with the question of
factionalism and all this talk of bolt,
and former editorials from the En-
quirer and The Herald and News cop
led and commented by the News. The
Enquirer has stated the case in plain
and sensible way, and, as it says, The
Herald and News is not a spokesman
for Gov. Blease, but was speaking for
itself alone. The Herald and News
has made the effort to be fair and i'm
partial and it's editor is not a faction
ist and never has been. We have al
ways given every side in disputed
or contested question fair and I'M
partial hearing in these columns.
The Herald and News has supported
mfr. Blease, but we have never been
blind follower of him or any one
else. We have not agreed with him
on many questions, and we have not
hesitated to say so, and to say so
through these columns. In other
words The Herald and News Is news
paper first, so far as it's news columns
are concerned. In it's editorial COL
umns we try to give the opinions OF
the editor on all questions and to give
them in courteous and respectful Ian
suage and in terms that cannot be
Misunderstood or misconstr1ed.

The Spartanburg Journal says that
only rs of the members of the last
legislature have been returned to the
next. That will give about 100 new
members though some of them have
seen service in former years. Some
OF tn 25 who are returned had to run
a second and even third race before
they were elected. And some of these
are among the most able and evperienc
ed of the membership of the last
house. Cothran of Greenville is an
able man and a fair man and a broad
minded MN and makes a valuable
member of the legislature. He had to
run a third race and the only one of
the old delegation reelected. Boyd of
Spartanburg had the same experience
and he is chairman of the judiciary
committee and a good legislator of
ability. There seems to have been
pretty general unrest and dissatisfac-
tion with the work of the legislature
and yet it is claimed for it that it was
progressive and constructive. The
people, however, do not always elect
the men who do things. On the con-
trary they are generally the ones who
are not elected. The way to remain
in Office is to do nothing except what
you have, to, do, and. dre@ the salary
and look wiee.

more people under the influence of It
were seen on the streets recently than
III many years previous.
1t would seem from these facts as
stated by our contemporaries that
there are other places than Charleston
where there is violation Of the liquor
laws and where there is need for law
enforcement.

That was terrible tragedy in
Greenwood county the other day. It
is, as the Abbeville Press and Banner
says due to two causes, the use of
mean blind tiger whiskey and the
ready pistol We heard man say not
SO many moons ago that they had a
chemical nav from which whiskey
could be manufactured and it may be
the quality of the article that brings
out readily the meanness of the man
who. drinks it and turns him into a
demon.
1t seems from what the papers are
saying that the sale Of whiskey in
Greenwood is more prevalent now than
in the days of the dispensary when
it was said that while the dispensary
was in existence in Abbeville that if
you wanted to buy it after sundown
you would have to go to Greenwood to
get it.
1t would seem that this county would
be a good place for Gov. Manning to
axpend some of his law enforcement |
,und.
We think it was in the Gafney
paper that we read the sale of liquor

affiliations as Progressive, Democratic
or Independent.
The league has received the en-
dorsement Of Governor Hughes, who
wired: IF there was ever time
when the educated men of the country
who have its welfare at heart should
work for right principles and strong
government ID Is now" Chairman
Wilcox of the Republican National

the work enthusiastically, as much on
the score of the benefit to the men
themselves as of the real work II will
do to help elect Governor Hughes.
