Caldwell's and to decide whether the
road on to Whitmire would be from
there or from Kinards, the engineers
report to be received first. From
Newberry by Deadfall to the steel
bridge to connect with Saluda. From
Newberry to Chappells by Long
shores store to connect with Green
wood. And the road from Newberry
for nine miles toward Pomaria or
the Pomaria road. The road from
Prosperity to Cooks mill. These are
the roads tentatively selected upon
which first to spend the bond money,
of course the exact location to be de-
termined after the survey is made by
the engineer. In the meantime it is
the purpose of the commission to put
a maintenance force at work in each
township and by this means while we
are building the roads We call perma-

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES
State Organization Secures change
in Method of Assessing Mercan-
tile Stocks for Taxation.

The chamber of commerce sent
two delegations to Columbia last
week to take part, IN state meetings
C. 7. Summer, G. B. Summer, P. E
Anderson, T. Roy Summer, and
Lloyd w. Maxwell were before the
state tax commission on Tuesday,
presenting the case Of the merchants
Of Newberry. Representatives were
present 'also from practically every
chamber of commerce in South Caro-
lima. =.
The ordinary method of assessing
mercantile stocks for taxation has
been for the merchants TO make their
returns as of January 1, showing the
cost Of the goods on hand at that
date. This year such method would
be unfair, because on January l the
stocks on hand will not be worth
nearly so much as they cost. Many
of the lines now on the shelves were
bought when prices were at the peak.
AS result of the hearing on De-
cember 7, the state tax commission
has announced that in making re-
turns for 1921 the merchants of the
state will be permitted to return
stocks at market or replacement
value. This not only means a saving
of many hundred dollars to the mer-
chant with big stock, but it shows
that the state officials are anxious to
correct South Cardinals faulty tax
system whenever such is possible.
The chamber of commerce is to be
congratulated. Let the good work
go on.

COUNTY HIGHWAY COMMISSION
HOLDS IMPORTANT MEETING

The county highway commission
held a very important meeting last
week. A good many things were
considered. It was decided to adver-
tise for applications for the various
positions to be filed. The civil en-
gineer was elected some time ago, a
Mr.. Sanders, and he will be here in
a few days to do some road survey
ing for which he will not make a
charge and will not enter regularly
upon his duties until the commission
gets some money from the sale of the
bonds. The list Of the positions for
which applications will be received
may be found in the advertisement.
The commission made tentative de-
cision of the roads which it would
work with the bond money, the de-
cision of course to be with the ap-
proval of the engineer, but these
will be surveyed and then final de-
cision will be made.
OF course the road from the Lex
ineton line to the Laurens line by
Little Mountain, Prosperity and New
berry is one because part of it has
already been worked and turned
over to the state highway commits
sion for maintenance and part of it
has already been let 10 contract.

Duncan C. Hayward has resigned
in order to devote his entire time to
his personal business, and he said
over the telephone last night that he
hoped to be relieved from duty prior
to January 1. The many, friends Of
the collector are glad that he will
remain in Columbia.
The former chief executive OF the
state has opened. an investment busi-
ness under the firm name Of D. G.
Hayward & CO., and has formed q
connection with Imbrie & Co. of New
York, members of the New York
stock exchange. It is to this stock
and bond business that he will devote
his time. He said last night that he
expected to add to the business by
putting in a department of account
ing, and also an income tax feature,
dealing with the making out Of re
turns. J
The retiring collector served South
Carolina as its chief executivd from
January, 1903, until January, 1907,
being reelected without opposition.

cient and popular governors in the
,.istory of the state. He was ap-
pointed collector Of internal revenue
for this. district by President Wilson
in 1915, taking the oath of Office Sep
tember l of that year. He has made
a most excellent federal official.

lished Offices on the 18th floor Of
Palmetto building, of which Office

ager and Guy stollenwerck is the
