Heretofore II has been believed that

the statute governing the matter says
that enrolment must he completed on

Withdrawal Of Mclaurin.

The withdrawal of Mr.. McI.aurin
from the guhcrnatorial race furnishes
very little cause for surprise, and in
view Of the shape his campaign has
taken there is little cause for regret.
We would like to have seen Mr.. Nc
and nj one time we had great hopes
that he would hc governor: but these
hopes have not been entertained since
early in the campaign.
That Mr.. McLaurin is, in our opin-
ion the most thoroughgoing statesman
OF his day and generation in South
Carolina, we have said time and again.
and we do not hesitate to say it again
We think he has done more for the
people of South Carolina during the
past ten years than has any other one
man in the state. and we think he Is
capable OF doing great deal more If
he had the opportunity; but now that
Is all off.
Mr.. McLaurin had two great ends
in view. One was to better the econo-
mic condition Of the people OF South
Carolina through the establishment of
n just and equitable financial system
that would guarantee to the producer
his due enjoyment OF the products of
his labor. The other was to break
down and destroy the factionalism
that has so long operated against the
best interest of the state and bring all
patriotic people together for their
higher welfare.
He was fully capable of accomplish
ing both of these ends, more so than

legislative delegation will back him up
in the matter.
After hearing the explanations OF
Messrs. Derham and Query. the mem
hers Of the equalization board adopted
a resolution in which they accepted
the action OF the state tax commits
sion and instructed the auditor to pro-

Ii is understood that the increased

are not included. and neither Is cor

county levy is TO raise about $4,000
for all purposes. the state levy will
raise n few thousand dollars less. The
constitutional mill school tax and
the special school levies will raise ap-
proximatcly $4,000.
While on a basis of the increased

levy may be adjusted TO raise the
amount required. and the excess

The BulShcviki government is pro-
testing against the occupation of the
Thurman coast OF Russia by British
and Americans. The Murman coast en-
tends far into the Arctic circle. While
Russia WAS in the war immense guam
titles OF military supplies were landed
at Kola on this coast. There WIS no
railroad connection with the interior at
that time and the building of Il road
was commenced. When Russia broke
down hundreds of millions al dollars
worth of supplies had been landed; but
the railroad was not yet completed. 1t
was to protect these supplies that the
British and American troops were
landed. 1t is believed. of course. that
the Bolsheviki protest is at the in
stance of the Germans. That Great
Britain or the United States will pay
a great deal Of attention to the Bolshe-
wiki protest is not likely.

any other man Of whom we have any
but in spite Of the unset
fish patriotism OF his aims and tne
splendid intellectual equipment ne
was able TO bring to bear. his purpose
was defeated by his own mistakes.
Mr.. McIaurins mistakes were
,uIrclv technical. What he had ac-
and what h" was capable
OF ACCOMPLISHING in the improvement
of economic conditions. were cngag-
in. the attention OF the people of lhe
state TO n greater extent than the
ichic,. .mcnt OF any other one man oi
his day. All the people knew him.
and all who were not directly inter-
.s,rd in politics, were beginning to
,pprcciat" him at his true worth.
AS the situation stood all Mr.. NC
Iaurin had To do was to canvass the
state. county 10y county. talk SOUND
business doctrine 10 the people. and
leave. his enemies and opponents TO
russ. abuse, vilify and misrcprescnt
as much as they might choose. He
would have been elected governor as
surely as there was an election.
But the frs, tactical mistake was
made last winter. When Mr.. Nc
l.aurin Let loose his open letter against
I;lcasc and Tillman, hc not only failed
10 injrirr either Blcasc or Tillman:
but for the time being he divided the
minds OF the people who were inter-
rstrd in him from the things he was
teaching TO factional politics. the
thing fur which he has such great
antiIathy.
This had about quictcd down when
the campaign opened and still Mr..
McI.irin had a fine chance to win:
hut au.rin he ruined that chance with
another letter similar to the first.
There was very little use in that
\ulI- Ul"aSr- Cooper letter II 1t were
a fact that Mr.. Cooper was trying to
in lure McI.auI'in 10y the use OF secret
letter, and il is not clear that he was
not. Mr.. McI.aurin should have left
the, matter to the people and they
would have taken care of him. be-
cause of the worth he had already
proved himself to br To them.
The best way I" have accomplished
the destruction of factiunaliSm WAS
for Mr. McI4uIrin 10 hav" gone on and
secured his election To the governor
shin, and made cool his promises. II
he could have done for the people
what h" said he could do. rcduc" their
taxes. and still further improv" their
economic condition. and We l"licvr he
could have done both Of these. then
faCliunalism would have fallen to the
ground because OF its own rotten fu-
tiliiy.
We sincerely regret the unfortunate
outcome of Mr.. MCIaurin's candida =
ry. AMI now that lie is no longer To

which he stood. "" are at u loss to

Judge Moore has filed his decree In
the contested tax election case In
school district No. 30. The decree up
holds the result of the election. re-
pudiatcs all suggestions Of fraud that
were alleged against the managers OF
the election. There were irregularities,
his honor declares. For instance. the
box was not locked as the law re-
quircs: but it was securely fastened.
and there was no intentional violation
OF the law. There was nothing what
ever in the evidence to give the slight
,'st foundation for a charge OF wrong
doing on the part of the managers.

EQUALIZATION PROBLEM.

The dictum of the state tax COM
mission adding IS per cent to the as
sessed valuation of York county farm
land as fixed by the county board of
equalization, will stand. This was the
outcome of a meeting of w. G. Query
and ]. z. Derham Of the state tax COM
mission with the members of the
county board of equalization in the
courthouse last Tuesday.
The county board of equalization, IL
will be remembered, some time back
decided that s5.42 was about right as
the average assessed valuation OF
York county land: but the state tax
commission raised this figure As per
cent and settled upon s7.95 as the
proper average assessed valuation for
York county land.
tax commissions figures were inequit-
able beyond all reason, the board
sought TO appeal; but pretty soon
found that the state board of tax re-
view and the tax commission were not
far from the same thing, and gave up
the appeal as hardly worth while.
The meeting Tuesday was for the
purpose of talking the matter over so
that the members of the equalization
board might come to a clear under
standing Of the commissions position
The desired object was attained. The
equalization board was convinced that
the equalization must be about right
so far as land values are concerned;
but some OF The members are still a
fittle dubious as to whether the land
owners are not going to be called up
on to bear much larger proportion
Of the burdens Of the government than
Is their just share.
Messrs. Derham and Query explain
ed the procedure of the tax commits
sion about like this: We have not un-
dertaken to fix an arbitrary assess
ment upon you: but we have arrived
at our assessment on a basis of your
own valuations. How? Why we went
over the census reports made up from
enumerators, and also we have been
over your record of transfers of real
estate for a number of years past,
making due comparison between val
ues as established at auction sales,
and values as established through
transfers from one owner to another.
We have collected this same informa-
ton from every county in the state,
and the assessed valuation here estab-
lished for York county are In as eQuit-
able proportion as 1t is possible to ar
rive at with reference to assessed val
uations in other counties.
The members Of the commission ex-
planned further that while on a basis
Of the new assessed valuation, the
levies as fixed by the general assem-
bly, will raise a great deal more money
than will be required for state and
county purposes. this situation will be
taken care Of by a flexible levy pro-
yided for by an act Of the last general
assembly. This act referred to. only
applies to the state levy; but 1t Is sug-
eested that the auditor will be safe IN
adjusting the county levy to the new

MORE NEGROES FOR JACKSON

Another increment Of thirty-seven
negroes from Local Board No. 2, left
Yorkvillc yesterday morning for Camp
Jackson. after quite appropriate exer-
cises in the courthouse Wednesday
night.
The exercises in the courthouse
were rather more elaborate than any
thing OF the kind that has gone be-
fore. They were of the same general
nature, however, consisting Of singing
and speeches and a sentimental quo
tation for and in behalf of each of the
drafted men.
In order to secure money with which
to pay expenses and with which to
entertain the drafted men, Rev. l. C..
Wiley. in charge Of the affair, charg-
ed an admission fee at the door. This,
however. had no discouraging effect
upon the attendance. The courthouse
was filled TO capacity and the audience
included quite q number OF whites
Seymour Carroll Of Columbia, who
oSlSNtSu TIC bptdheT
the occasion. failed to arrive and the
principal speech OF the occasion was
made by Rev. G. w. Jennings, who
did not appear to be altogether pleas
ed with the programme. He said
there was no need for q man like Car
roll to make a speech as there were
plenty Of people at home who could
speak to the negroes better. He also
criticised the charging OF admission.
saying that an occasion like this.
like salvation, should be free, and the
idea OF making people pay to see
American citizens as IL they were a
lot OF monkeys struck him as out OF
place. He said that the Almiehty's
purpose In sending the war was, among
other things, to elevate the negro to
the full and free citizenship to which
he Is entitled.

Object to Barbarity-CierInan n

SoJeet 70 odrparity-ierinan news
papers are raising quite pother over
n story received In Germany from
Switzerland TO the effect that n large
number Of American troops have
been supplied with sawed-off shot
guns for close fighting
The Cologne Gazette In commenting
on the report. denounces Americas
barbarism and assumes that toma-
hawks and scalping knives will soon
appear on the American front. The
newspaper warns the German troops
tnat the Americans are not honor
able warriors"
The Weser Zeitung says the barbar-
GUS shotguns have been served out
not because they are likely to be ef-
fective. but because the Ill trained
Americans cannot use rifles and are
badly supplied with machine guns.
