Electric company or its agents be-
cause he had brought suit against the

Dlease at Yorkville to the authorities
at Washington to discuss the why's
and wherefores OF this country enter
ing the war.
That is not live issue now. What
we want at this time is the hearty
and wholesouled cooperation Of all
our people in a united effort to win
the war. No good can come of dis
cussing why We are in it at this time.
We have made up our mind to leave
any meeting at which any speaker
undertakes to argue about the reasons
for or against this country entering
the war. There is too much to do
that is worth while in helping to win
the war to waste time listening to any
windjammers talking about why we
are in it. We are in it now to win it,
and that is reason enough at this
time. We should be interested in
helping our boys over there, if we
can't go.

COMING IN DROVES.

Troubles come in groups, they say,
1t seems to US that they have been
coming in droves recently, and we
have not gone down! the road looking
for them.
On Tuesday morning our motor to
the linotype machine burned out and
the wheels refused to go round.
Mr.. Jno. C. Goggans, Jr., our ply
sician for all such ailments, imme-
6iately took the case in hand and has
sent the motor off to be rewound, we
believe it is, and he hopes to get it
back in a few days.
In the meantime we will have to do
the best we can. Our boys IN Co
lumbia, Jas. l.. Aull and Ira NJ. Sigh.
are operating a type producing fac
tory and they promise to get us some
type, but they are rushed with work
and can only do so much and we can
only do the best we can, and with this
statement our readers will understand
why the paper appears as it does
1t is bad, but it could have, been
worse. The machine might have burn
ed out on Monday instead OF Tues
day.
All the copy we are using for this
paper today had to be prepared on
Wednesday.
We hope to have our motor back
pretty soon and in the meantime we
are trying to get the shop cleaned up
and maybe will work better from now
on.

We notice that the farmers Of An
derSon county held a meeting on Sat
urday to protest against the great
raise in the assessment of real estate
as ordered by the State tax commits
sion. The auditor states that the
commission has ordered that real es-
tate be increased from S7.13 per acre
to s12.75 which is an increase of 79
per cent. Over $500 per acre with
the increase in the levy of 8 IL mills
is a pretty big jump.
The Herald and News stated when
the tax commission was first created
and when it went after the corpora
tions that the ultimate purpose Of the
creation of the commission was to
reach real estate and then the man
with visible property would find out
what it all meant. Auditor Smith and
his board refused to make the in
crease, having already made sub
stantial increase over the assessment
of four years ago, and now the auditor
states that he is threatened with re.
moval from Office by the authorities in
Columbia if he persists in his posi-
tion.
There is no doubt there is need for
equalization in the assessments, but
an increase of 100 per cent. and that
with an increase of so per cent. in
the levy is pretty heavy. And to
threaten removal from Office of the
official refusing to do what the au-
thorities in Columbia command is, it
seems to us, rather autocratic. The
decided to fight the matter
to finish in the courts.
We have not heard what was done
in this county, but we do not suppose
any such increase was made in the
assessment of real estate. 1t may be
that the commission takes the view
that real estate was too low in Ander
son. 1t would be all right to increase
the assessments if by so doing the
levy could go down also, but eXpe-
rience shows that the reverse is true,
as assessments go up the levy also
goes up The legislature will gener-
ally find some way to spend the money
so long as it is not necessary to in
crease the levy, but it seems that in
recent legislatures they have not hest
tated to increase the levy as well as
the assessments. What the people
need is to be careful in the selection
CT their members Of the legislature,
because they are the ones who spend
the money and lay the levies.

If it is true that Senator Tillman is
not impaired in health either mental
" or physically we agree with the Co
lumbia Record that cit has been about
the most contemplate assault ever
made in the annals of our politics" !"
We do not know of our own knowledge
anything as to his condition, and we
have not said anything about it. We
have heard that some citizens of
Newberry who were urging Mr.. Lever
to run had said that Mr.. Tillman was
both physically and mentally unfit.
We do not say so, because we have
not seen the senator in some time.
We would judge from his reply to
Gov. Manning, which was the cause
of the withdrawal of Mr. Lever, that
his mental condition is still unimpair-
ed. That was pretty racy letter and
he sure smoked 'em out and then they
went in again. If his health of mind
and body is good it is very low politics
to be attacking it. Candidate Dial has
more to say about his mental condi-
ton and his physical condition than
any Of the candidates, that is that was
true the day we heard them speak.
Mr.. Rice said something about it but
very little. Mr. Blease did not refer
to it as we recall, but did say that he
would challenge him to debate and
that if he came he would say some
things that had not yet been said, and
that if he failed to appear he would
say them any way Senator Tillman
in letter which he is sending out to
his friends speaks of Mr.. Blease as
MY principal and most dangerous op-
ponent" We believe in dealing fairly
even in politics and giving every one
q square deal.

IF the people are dissatisfied with
the tax levy, they can get relief only
through the legislature.-TheS State.
Then The State spoke the truth. All
the talk of the candidates for cover
nor and on down will not amount to
much so far as taXation is concerned,
except that the governor should
have some influence with the legisla-
ture, and then he has the veto pow
er, but if the people want relief, ana
relief can be had, they should be care
full in the selection of the men they
send to the legislature, because it is
the legislature that makes the appro-
priations and places the levy and
creates new Offices or repeals laws
creating these Offices, and not the gov
ernor. The governor has no power to
reduce taxes or to abolish useless Of
fees, but that power rests with the
legislature.
The fact is the office of legislator
is one of the most important in the
State. AS rule the people are not
careful enough in the selection of the
lawmakers, and we mean by this that
there are great many good men who
are not fitted by experience and the
information as IT, the tax laws and.
other knowledge of government, to-
make the best legislators, and not be
cause they are not good citizens and
good men, and it is no reflection upon
them to say this.
