Extends Time for Tax Payment.

Columbia, Aug. 31.-Walter E.
Duncan, Comptroller Genral, an
nounced tonight that after obtaining
the concurrence Of Governor Harvey
he had determined to extend the
time for the payment Of taxes until
September Is. Mr.. Duncan stated
that the reason the extension was
not made until October l is that
there are many obligations Of the
state to be met by Treasurer Carter
during the latter part Of September
and money from taxes will be needed
then. @s. %1' = .>..:s ~
The Comptroller General has re-
ceived many requests during the past
few days for an extension because
the farmers are now in the midst Of
their harvesting and marketing sea-
son and have no ready cash. The law
allows the comptroller general to ex-
tend the time for the payment Of
taxes by and with the consent of the
governor.

Charleston, August 31.-With
only eight boxes missing, poll
ing total of probably nto more than
1000 votes, the virtually complete
returns from last Tuesdays Demo-
cratic primary election developed the
fact yesterday that E. B. Jackson, of
Wagner, has been nominated for
lieutenant governor in the first pri-
mary over his two oppinents, E. c..
l.. Adams and Jennings K. Owens.
Mr.. Jackson's majority is close to s.
900.
The practically complete figures in
the governors race do not differ ma
terially from those published in The
News and Courier of yesterday. With
172,712 ballots accounted for, and
probably 1000 not heard from, the

Anti+Blease Majority Grows.

AntiiBlease Majority Grows.
The boxes heard from yesterday
added only 1872 to Mr.. Blease's vote
over the totals previously reported,
but gave Mr.. Mcleod an increase of
2,249 over his total as published yes
terday and Mr.. Laney an increase of
2,O27. The majority against Blease
went up from 1850, as printed yes
terday, to 1902.
There has been a good deal of sur
prise that the vote was not larger
on Tuesday, the weather having
been fine. With a total enrolment
of 226,5S1 it was thought by many
| that the vote might go considerably
beyond 175, 900, which was generally
fixed as minimum, but the political
apathy which has been general this
year seems to have prevailed to the
extent Of keeping more than $4,000
enrolled voters from the polls on one
| account or another.
Working for a Full Vote.
Mcleod supporters will work &C.
lively in the second primary to bring
out as full vote as possible for the
runover on September 12. General
confidence of his success as the out
standing anti-Blease candidate is ex-
pressed, but the Blease forces are
claiming that their candidate will
win, and for Mcleod to overcome the
Blease lead and be elected, as Man.
ming did in 1916, it will be necessary
to bring out at least as large a vote
as was cast in the first primary.
Lieutenant Governors Race.
It will be noted that the total vote
cast in the race for lieutenant COVER
nor is 2O,OOO votes below the total in
the governors race. No explanation
of this discrepancy is offered. 1t not
infrequently happens that discrap-
ancy Of this kind occurs in election
returns but in this instance the dis
crepancy is rather large. Voters of
course can scratch all the candidates
in any contest. or none, in either of
which cases the ballot would not
count as to that contest. 1t is not
known, however, in what way the
light vote in the lieutenant COVER
nor's race, as compared with the gov
ernor's race, is accounted for. The
figures in this contest are also be-

The latest thing in counterfeits is
a green diamond. The peculiar tint of
the genuine gem is said to have been
copied successfully by the use OF
radium, and large white stones Of
cheaper quality afford the material on
which to work. Fortunately, the
smaller gems do not allow enough
profit to warrant treatment, and it is
only the wealthy who can afford to
buy those that are large enough.

OUR DUTY.

In the recent primary nearly $4,000
people whose names we're enrolled on
the Democratic club lists failed to vote,
and of this number nearly 500 in Bam-
berg county did not exercise the right
of suffrage. These stay-at-home or ab-
sent voters are largely anti -Blease in
their sentiments, yet they are apathetic
and Indifferent. This vote must be got
ten to the polls, and this result can only
be accomplished by organized effort on
the part of those who do not agree with
the course pursued by the former COVER
nor. This is no time to say it is none
of your business, but is the duty Of ev-
cry man and woman who is qualified to
go to the polls and vote. Victory is as
sured if those who are enrolled will turn
out and vote, but we can't win if peo-
ple neglect this sacred duty. Not only
cast your ballot but see that your neigh
Dor does likewise. ,\e~ .~~ Z,
You mothers who have boys growing
UP, it is your duty to vote. You are in
terested in the future Of your son and
you want him tos grow up clean, sober
man. Do. you doubt for one minute as
to who the illicit LIQUOR distiller and
bootlegger will vote for? If you want
the prohibition law enforced and this
temptation removed from your boy, vote
for T. G.. Mcleod a Christian man who
is against liquor and is teetotaler him.
self, an official member of the church
and teacher of large mems Bible class.
You want law and order. Did Blease
stand for prohibition or law and order
when he was governor? The record
shows he did not then, neither will he
do it now. Mothers, the ballot is sa-
cred trust which has been conferred up
on you. It is your duty to use it, and we
feel assured that you will use it for the
good Of South Carolina. There is too
much laWlessness among us now. The
present governor is doing much to stop
it. Let us have man to succeed him
who will continue the good work.

BLEAsE DID NOT REDUCE TAXES

Mr.. Blease has made his campaign
for governor this year on a platform OF
a reduction Of taxes and opposition to
the state tax commission. Now let us
see if he will do what he says he will do,
and all we have to 60 by is his record as
governor. He vetoed a few small ap-
preparations which didn't amount to
anything, but he did not reduce taxes
during his term of office. He was elect
ed governor in the fall Of 1910 and went
into office about the middle Of January,
1911. He was governor four years:
1911, 1912, 1913, and 1914, and here are
the figures Of the state tax levy:
1910 49,. 49,. 49,. 49,. .-.5 3-4 mills
1911 ...- ..-- --.. 49,. % 3-4 mills
1912 .... 49,. .... ...- ....5 3-4 mills
1913 .... .... ...- ....5 IA mills
1914 49,. - - 800 -.6 mills
The record shows that the year be-
fore he was governor the state levy was
5 3-4 mills, that he did not reduce it on
going into office but it remained the
same, and the last year he was governor
the levy was raised to six mills. Blease
went out Of office in January, 1915. If
he didn't reduce taxes then, but actual
ly raised them, what can you expect Of
him now? The state levy was reduced
this year, and our people will see the
great reduction when they go to pay
their taxes this fall, but if Blease is
elected governor they may expect them
to be raised next year, judging by his
record. and there is no fairer method
than this Of judging a man. In the face
Of the above facts the man who wants
lower taxes had better not cast his vote
for Blease.

THREAT OF A BOLT.

The following appeared in the York
vile Enquirer as leading editorial par
agraph in it's issue of Tuesday, August
29th, 1922, this issue also carrying the
returns from the primary held that day:
"Two more weeks of it and
the strain will be over so far as
the primary is concerned; but
as to what is going to happen
in the general election this
year remains to be seen."
The Yorkville Enquirer has been a
Blease newspaper for many years and
is supporting him today. Comment on
the above is unnecessary. If this is not
threat to bolt the primary and oppose
the Democratic nominees in the general
election, then we fail to understand the
