bandits, mystery, intrigue and peril

of his stewardship during the first year

Many and varied are the scenes dis

dearest hopes of every American and
shows that in the short space of a year
this country is participating in the war

pectations of its allies.

Tax Order Rescinded.

Yielding to the pres sure brought to
bear through the legislature, the tax
commission has virtually rescinded its
recent order concerning real estate for
taxation by amending it so as to read
s.42 per cent" instead of so per cent
of its value. This is a very satisfac-
tory settlement of perplexing prob
lem. The tax commission had good
ground upon which to stand in contend
ing for the raise, having raised the
assessment of corporations above that
at which real estate was assessed in
the past, and yet in crisis like the
present when conditions are very alb
normal and real estate values are tenn
porarily very high it would be un-
wise to attempt so per cent. raise.
We believe the order of the tax
commission, as amended, will meet

Men Guilty OF Perjury.

Several attempts have been made to
improve the liquor situation in South
Carolina by amending the quartz
month law BUTT seems now that the
legislature will allow the law to re-
main as it is. 1t was contemplated
when the quart-a-month law was en-
acted that no liquor would be shipped
into the State except for medicinal
purposes, shutting intoXicants out al
together as a beverage. While no
doubt the letter of the law is being
carried out, yet the spirit of it is be-
ing frequently violated by hundreds of
persons who order whiskey purely for
beverage purposes. An example should
be made of some of the men who per-
lure themselves. Public sentiment
should be so strong that men who are
we'll, and who have no ''sick wife, to
hide behind, will be afraid to go be-
fore the Judge of probate and make
oath that the whiskey is to relieve
sickness. Judge of Probate Kinnaird
has issued all permits strictly accord
ing to law, and yet everybody knows
that most of the individuals who make
the oaths are violating the spirit of
the law. If the legislature does not
improve the situation, the people
should stand behind the judge of pro-
bate and help him to curtail the num-
Der of permits. Nothing in these lines
is intended as a reflection upon Judge
Kinnaird, for we have no more law
abiding citizen in the county than ha
is. We are simply calling attention to
a deplorable situation and urging an
improvement of conditions. A look
into the express office will convince
anyone that an improvement is greatly
needed.
