TAX LEVY REDUCED.
ADDED TAX VALUES OF MORE
THAN S50,0O0,0OO.
State Levy Reduced From Nine and
One-haIf Mills 70 Eight and a.
Quarter.

Columbia, Aug. 30.-The State tax
levy is reduced from nine and one
half mills to eight and a-quarter
mills.
This is in accord with the act pass
ed at the last session of the legisla-
tire making the tax levy flexible, and
the reduction is made possible by the
fact that the tax commission has add
ed at least $50,000,000 to the tax val
ues in the State.
This was accomplished by restoring
! to the tax books certain properties
and by the increased valuations
placed upon personal and real prop
erty.
These additions to the taxable val
!: ues will permit not only the decrease
III the State levy but will affect the
county levies as well.
Governor Manning will bring the
matter to the attention of the county
authorities.
In the county supply bill passed at
the last session of the legislature pro-
vision was made for flexible county
levies in respect to the following
counties: Anderson, Cherokee, Ches-
terfeld, fairfield, Florence, HorT7.
Orangeburg, Saluda, Spartanburg and
Union. The tax levies in those coun-
ties will be adjusted according to
the increased valuation in those coun-
ties.
In the other counties no such pro-
vision was made and Governor Man
ming will take the matter up with the
legislative delegations in those coun-
ties and ask them to confer with the
auditor and county commissioners in
these counties and agree upon such
reductions in taxation as are proper.
| The counties in which this must be
done are: Darlington, Dillon, CAL
houn, Greenville, Greenwood, Lancas-
ter, Lexington, Marion, Marlboro,
Oconee, Pickens, Sumter and York.

either are entering Bailleul or will
do so later.
It is time something was said OF
tine wonderful work in the Scarpc-
Somme battle of the British, which
:nade possible the victories gained.
The Germans themselves testify to
the terrible efficiency Of the massed
British cannon, which in many cases
stood virtually wheel to wheel While
pouring death and destruction into
the enemy, knocking the will TO
fight out of him and blasting a path
for the infantry.
The prisoners all mention the ter
rifle barrages they have withstood ana
comment bitterly upon the thinness
of their own counterbarrages, be-
cause the German heavies are al
ways being dragged rearward to
save them from capture. The Ger
man artillery apparently had little
faith in the ability Of the infantry to
hold off the British attacks today.
AS for days past the British bar
RACES have fallen all along the front,
ever moving forward and they have
come down on masses the enemy
lying in whatever shelter they could
find. such as shell craters
Rarely have the Germans had the
protection of dugouts. Even when
they have, going into them often
meant capture, for British infantry
and tanks at nearly all times have
been upon them so closely after the
barrages lifted that they have not
had much time to offer fight, even if
they really desired to.
The casualties inflicted by the Brit
ish shells have been larger perhaps
than ever before, because the gun
ners, advancing closely behind the
infantry, have had many opportunl-
ties on this terrain. which alternate
