The State Tax Commission has
been raising the assessments on mer-
chandise, and things of that kind,
and the Comptroller General has re-
duced the levy from nine and one
half mills to nine mills. In South
Carolina everybody with authority
is working towards an equalization
of taxes, but the legislature, with
supreme authority, has never yet de-
creed in simple terms that/all proper
ty should be assessed at it's real value
which would settle the whole matter
Maybe this decree by the legislature
is not necessary; because everybody
is supposed to return their property
at the real value-but it is not done
It is an anomalous situation when
the legislature counts on a one-third
return when it fixes levy for tax
alton.

wood is leading Mr.. Stoll by a mar
row margin. Mr.. Stoll contends that
some of these votes have been put
| into the total twice.
| Interest in Columbia at this time
| is centered in the trial Of Eugene M
| Lancaster, in the general sessions
| court, which is scheduled for next
Wednesday morning. Lancaster
killed bis wife and Newton Loriek,
who were riding together in an au-
tomobile, the homicide occurring on
!! the Congaree river bridge, just this
! side of the river, this summer. Lam
caster at the time was a motorcycle
policeman. He had been injured,
and had been in one of the local hos
pitals. His plea will be the unwrit-
ten law, so far as he can get that
plea in court.
On Saturday his attorneys, Messrs.
Cole. L. Blease and A. w. Holman,
made a motion to require the solici-
tor to try the two cases-for killing
Mr.. Lorick and Mrs. Lancaster-to-
gether it being alleged that the act
wac conceived in one motive, based
on the law as declared in Lancast-
g. county case. and on Texas case
where Col. Butler and Mrs. Span
4.... We're BON killed in an automo-
bile by Mrs. Spannell's husband.
,, Judge Moore, who is presiding here,
overruled the motion, and Lancast-
ter must go to trial on Wednesday
! morning on the charge of murder in
killing his wife.
Lancasters is represented by :Ar.
Blease and Mr.. Holman, and Sc: ci-
tor Spigner, for the State, is ass-ssed
by Solicitor George Bell Zimmerman
of the Lexington-Edgefield circuit,
and Mr.. R. Y. Kibler, of Columbia.
1t will be a battle to the finish, stag
ed by able counsel on either side.
The background is there for columns
of newspaper stuff. Lorick and Mrs.
Lancaster had been driving in an
automobile, over in Lexington coun-
ty. Eugene Lancaster hired a hack,
and rode down to the Congaree rlv-
er bridge and waited for them. Up
on their approach, he jumped out OF
his hack and went to their car and
shot them, emptying two pistols into
their bodies. The physical exam:na-
ton at the inquest by the doctor IS
in line with Lancaster's plea.
This killing happened during the
June term of court here, and stirred
the city to it's depths. After remain
ing in jail a few days, Lancaster was
granted bail by Associate Justice
Watts, of the Supreme Court, in the
sum of $500. The case will be hard
fought, and will attract interest
throughout the State.
Greenville county has set record
in murder trials in this State at the
recent term of court. Five persons
have been convicted and sentenced
to be electrocuted, including Branl-
lett, who killed his mother-in-law,
and who pleaded insanity. DR.. Bah
cock, former superintendent of the
State Hospital for the Insane, testi-
fled according to newspaper reports,
that Bramlett was insane at the time,
but the plea of insanity did not avail
him.

CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
(By Jon K. Aull.)

in which the governor of Massachu-
setts has taken hand, holding that
the striking policemen. are deserters,
is but another instance of the unrest
throughout the nation. Strikes are
going to continue so long as the con-
ditions for unrest continue. And the
condition of unrest will continue SO
long as people who work hard every
day can't make ends meet. The cost
of living is at the bottom of the
whole matter.

CAUTIAL NEWS AN DGOSSIP

Columbia, Sept. 14.-Ed. G.
Mann has been elected congressman
from the seventh district, to succeed
Mr.. Lever. The second race was be-
tween Solicitor George Bell Thinner
man, of Lexington, and Solicitor Ed.
C. Mann. of St. Matthews. Both are
good men and the district would not
have made a mistake in electing eth
er to congress. Mr.: Mann, who has
been nominated, used to live in New
berry. His father was preacher and
pastor for one of the churches there,
and Ed: Mann, his son, lived in New
berry then. He said the other day
that he remembered those days up
in Newberry--and he does, because
Mr.. Mann is a good fellow, all round,
and will make a good Congressman,
without frills or furbelows. And so
would have Mr.. Zimmerman.
Down in the sixth district, there
is likely to be a contest. The race
between Mr.. Stoll and Mr.. Sherwood
is very. close, and it will take the
count by the committee to decide it.
un me lace OF 1ne returns, Mr.. Sher-
wood is leading Mr.. Stoll by mar
row margin. Mr.. Stoll contends that
some of these votes have been put
into the total twice.

Mrs. H. T. Bowie. president OF the FL

The war has taught Us more than
ever before the wisdom OF all activi-
ties which promote friendship among
nations and FL Paso, more than any
other city in the United States, pre-
sents a situation where people freely
come and 90 from one nation TO an
other; where men and omen by the
thousands come from Mexico and
either temporarily or permanently
enter the life OF our republic.
Understanding this opportunity
the national board OF the Young
Woman's Christian association last
July opened a hospitality house close
to- the international bridge In FL
Easo. The sole purpose OF this house
is 70 promote friendly relations be-
TWEEN Mexicans enteriue the United
States and the people Of this country
IL is woman's special province 20 dis
pense hospitality. hence, as the name
OF the house indicates, IL hopes to eX-
tend the hand Of hospitality TO every
one entering the United States and
to serve them IN any way in which
a stranger in a strange country might
need help.
THE association IS fortunate IN
having as director at the hostess
house Mrs Georgia 3urlinEham. who
has lived for several years in Mexico

BUY CUBA SUGAR,
SENATOR URGES
McNary Says Europe Will
Grab 1920 Crop If
u. S. Delays.

Warning that unless immediate
steps are taken to purchase the en-
tire Cuban sugar crop the United
States will be confronted with a more
serious shortage of sugar was made
in the Senate yesterday by Senator
McNary.
He is author of the bill to extend
the life of the Sugar Equalization
Board and authorize the purchase of
Cuban sugar.
Senator McNary said that there are
still 100000 tons of Cuban sugar Of
the 1920 crop available for purchase
and that unless quick action Is taken
by the United States the sugar will
be sold to foreign interests, which
already have bought up 10000 tons
The United States acquired 400, 600
tons of the 1919 crop, the Senator
said, but gave one-half Of it to Great
Britain. France and Italy. thereby
creating the present shortage.
The Louisiana Senators, ,Ransdel and
Gay. contended such purchase would
injure the Louisiana planters who
are now enjoying a special zone price
which enables them to get II cents
for cane sugar while the beet sugar
of the West is selling for . and 10
cents.
SENATOR Kirby. of Arkansas, scored
the Louisiana interests which, be de-
ciared, produce 10000 pounds. or not
more than one-fortieth of the entire
sugar crop of the United states.
The Sugar Equalization Board has
on hand ample funds to make the
purchases, Senator McNary' said, as
1t has s5,OOoOoo left over as part of it's
capital and ssl.ooO.tOo left from profits
of last year The board Is Della
ware corporation, the Senator said,
of which President Wilson h presi-
dent and all the capital stock stands
in his name.
