CAPT. SHAW HERE


Capt. w. C. Shaw, of Lowndes-
vile, one of the men who told you
so, was here today. he found out
how much taxes amounted to, which
did not surprise him. He tells US,
though that some Of his: neighbors
who voted for good roads bonds are
complaining about high taxes. Had
they listened to q neighbor who
knew what he was talking about
they might not now find themselves
ibombarded with such steep require
ments on the part Of the county and
state.
The Captain wrote some letters
last year and the early part Of this
year in which he gave the people
timely notice of what was coming.
They paid no attention to him, but
elected to follow those who thought
taxes could not get too high. He
promises TO write Us again shortly
and give the people some more good
advice. We hope they will give it
more attention this time.

TON OF SUGAR
FOUND AT STILL
Costly Equipment Captured Near
Camden-Two Under Arrest

Camden, Dec. 14.-One. of the
largest whiskey raids ever pulled off
ir this county concurred during the
early morning at point about 1s
miles southwest of Camden in the
Betty Neck sectin of West Wateree.
In the raiding party were Sheriff G.
C. Welsh, Deputy Henry Mcleod
and Policeman Hollis Hilton, and L.
E. Barnes all of Camden.
Thirty or 40 gallons of whiskey
was found, about 20 barrels OF
mash and 20 sacks of granulated
sugar, weighing 100 pounds each.
The still was Of immense capacity
aad was we'll located ip dense sec:
ton of the Wateree swamp. Signs
pointed to it having been in opera
ton for a long while. It was sub
stantially built with a brick founda-
ton and it is thought many are i'm.
phcated in its operation, though. on.
" two white men were captured in
the raid. They have been placed in
jail and refuse to divulge their
names and are said to be men who
have been long. at the business.
They were captured without a fight,
as Tficers Barnes and Mcleod got
the drop on them as they were near
ing the still. Most Of the output is
thought to have been disopsed of
around Columbia in recent months.
The officers say it must have cost
several thousand dollars to erect
plant such as this.

BILL FROM SENATE
Measure to Revive War Finance Cor.
poration Referred to Banking
Committee.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The bill OF
the senate agriculture committee di-
recting revival of the war finance
corporation and favoring the extern
sion of more liberal credits by the
federal reserve system as measure
of relief for the farmers was referred
to tie banking and currency commit
tee upon it's arrival in the house to-
day after it's passage yesterday by

committee was told, should be made
available for the relief Of farmers,
live stock growers and business in
terests.
The senate also continued its con-
sideration of the farmer relief prob
lem in a discussion of the Capper-
Herman bill, which was passed by
the house last May, to authorize CO.
operative marketing by agricultural
associations under regulation Of the
fodaro1 trodo commission.

empt farmers organizations from the

HARDING GETS
IMPORTANT DATA
Information and advice We'll
Worth While-Seeks Common
Basis. First Comment on Con-
ferences Now Under Way

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 14.-Wth his
conferences here on an association
of nations only fairly begun, Presi-
dent-elect Harding let it be known
that he already had gathered infor-
nation and advice which greatly
encouraged him.
Making his first comment on the
progress of the consultations, he
said they had been Every interest
ing and gratifying"
'It apparently will not be so diff
ficult as some people had sup
posed" he added, Ito find COM
mon ground for agreement"
The president-elect would not dis
cuss specific conferences or detail
ed suggestions of association plans.
He indicated that he had given con-
siderable thought to the proposal
for a world agreement not to de-
clare offensive war except in re-
sponse to a popular referendum,
but he said he could express no
opinion on the subject.
"It is understood that Mr.. Hard
ing has felt particularly pleased
with the information regarding con-
ditions and opinion abroad as de-
scribed to him by Herbert Hoover,
Eiihu Root and others who have
been seen by him here. Still more
detailed surveys are to be given him
in conference yet to come, it being
taken for granted that among 9TH
ers Senator Mccormick Of Illinois,
who now is in Europe, will see him
within few weeks. Mr.. Harding
tonight denied directly, however,
published reports that Senator Nc
Cormick was acting as representa-
tive in conference with European
statesmen. The president-elect said
he had mo agents in Europe, in the
United States or in any other part
Of the world"
Today Mr.. Harding saw few call
ers and held no conferences on the
association plan. How long the pres
ident-elect will remain in Marion
still is undetermined, and published
reports of a definite plan to move
to some Southern resort in the
near FUTURE all were denied today
at Harding headquarters. Officials
said many invitations had been re-
ceived, but no definite action taken.
The general understanding has been
that a Southern trip probably will
be take some time in January.

WAGES IN COTTON
MILLS TO BE CUT
Reduction of 22 IL Per Cent. Will
Become Effective Monday.

Boston, Dec. 14.-A reduction of
about % 1-2 per cent in the wages of
approximately one-third of the 300,-
900 textile workers in New England
was announced today. The notices
were posted in Lawrence, Lowell,
New Bedford, and other centers Of
the industry in Maine and Rhode Is
land. For the most part they applied
to mills making cotton goods, but in
a few instances operatives on wors-
teds were involved.
Other cotton manufacturers have
indicated that they will enter into line
but whether the woolen and worsted
mills will take similar action at this
time is uncertain. William Wood
president of the American Woolen
Company, said he had no word to add
to his statement of several days ago
that the directors of that company
which operates fifty mills, had not
yet considered the matter.
The reduction which is made effec-
tive in most places next Monday in
effect cancels two increases made
during the last year and restores
prices approximately to the figure
lat obtained before a IL 1-2 per
cent increase last December. The
manufacturers of Lowell announced
that the average wage of the mill
worker there under the new schedule
ould be at $21 a week.
The question of reducing wages in
the extensive cotton mills at Fall
River is under negotiation by manu-
facturers and labor leaders. Most OF
the other centers of the industry in
this section were represented in the
of today.

MORE THAN BILLION
is OUTSTANDING
IN UNPAID TAXES
Because of Complex Nature of Inter.
nal Revenue Laws Bureau Has
Not Checked Up Tax Re-
turns for 1917.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The Treas
ury Department estimates that more
than billion dollars" is outstanding
in unpaid taxes because Of the gov
ernment's inability to audit the re-
turns, DR.. Thomas S. Adams, of the
Treasury staff, testified today at a
hearing on taxation before the House
ways and means committee.
Because of the complex nature Of
present revenue laws, he added, the
internal revenue bureau has been un-
able to complete the checking up of
tax returns for 1919. He saw no i'm
mediate hope of making the audit
current with the tax returns filed.
Auditing a Stupendous Task.
The task of auditing the tax. re-
turns and of tracing evasion and 9th
er causes of failure to pay all taxes
due, DR.. Adams said, has become so
stupendous that the internal revenue
bureau sees no way out at present.
He declared he would thank God if
the revenue machinery does not
break down in two years. under the
burden of any addition to its job of
tax collection"
The treasury representatives state
ment was made in. connection with an
explanation of his attitude in opposi-
tion to a general sales tax. He be-
lieved that a general sales tax would
yield great returns, but that the ad-
ministrative burden entailed would be
too great to carry.
DR.. Adams urged the committee to
simplify the tax laws so as to insure
a greater and more thorough collec-
ton, and make the administrative
work easier and more efficient. He
also said the tax collection work
could be more effectively performed
if congress would enact into laws the
regulations which the Treasury De-
partment, has made for enforcement
of the present revenue act.

FARMERS RELIEF PLAN
ADOPTED BY SENATE;
BILL GOES TO HOUSE
Directs Secretary of Treasury and
Others to Revive War Finance
Corporation-Liberal Credits
Plan is Favored

Washington, Dec. 14.-The Senate
late yesterday passed the agriculture
resolution directing the revival of the
War Finance Corporation as meas
ure of affording relief to farmers.
The second section of the resolution
which as introduced would have di-
rected the extension of liberal credits
to farmers by the federal reserve sys-
tenn, was amended to make the desira-
bility of such a course only an ex-
preston of opinion of the Congress
The amendment making the change
in the section of the resolution relat-
ing to the federal reserve system was
proposed by Senator Norris, Republi-
can, Nebraska, and was accepted by
a vote Of At to 16.
Dutie. Are Broadened
Another change made in the reso-
luton on suggestion Of Senator Smith
Democrat, Georgia, broadened the
status of the finance corporation to
include the financing of expectation
of products other than those produced
on the farm. Amendments submitted
by Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia
to make the rate of discount on loans
to farmers per cent, and by Senator
McKellar, Democrat, Tennessee, to
make cotton factors paper eligible
for discount, were rejected by over
whelming votes. A substitute for the
resolution presented by Senator Spen-
Ger, Republican, Missouri met sim
liar fate.
Final action on the resolution was
without a record vote. The measure
now goes to the House, where a num-
ber of similar farmer relief measures
are pending.
The section of the resolution d.
recting revival of the War Finance
Corporation, as adopted, reads:
"The Secretary of the Treasury and
the members of the War Finance Cor
poration are hereby directed to re-
vive the activities of the War Finance
corporation, and that said corpora
tion be at once rehabilitated with the
view of assisting in the financing of
the expectation of agricultural and
other products to foreign markets"
The resolution as adopted refers
to the extension-of credits as fol-
lows:
at is TIE opinion of Congress that
the Federal Reserve Board should
take such action as may be necessary
20 permit the member banks of the
federal reserve system to grant liber-
al extensions of credit to the farmers
of the country upon the security of
the agricultural products now held by
them, by permitting the rediscounting
of such notes of extension at fair
and reasonable rate of interest" =
The Senate agriculture committee
during the day continued its hearings
with a view to framing other meas
ures looking to the relief of the far
mers from the conditions brought
about by falling prices.
The House received an addition to
its collection of relief measures in a
bill offered by Representative Young,
Republican, Of North Dakota, propos-
ing an embargo on imports of grain
and grain products, livestock and
their products for one year.
