INCOME TAX LAW
INVALID, HE SAYS
Florence Senator Believes That It Can.
Not BE Legally Enforced.

Not BE Legally Enforced.
Florence, April 30.-Senator ID. Cor
don Baker today expressed serious
doubt as to whether the state Of South
Carolina could enforce collection of
any taxes on incomes for last year and
stated frankly he believed the courts
would decide against the state in any
case it might bring against dclinqucnts.
The Senator pointed to the Supreme
Court ruling on the inheritance tax
law and to the fact that the income
tax law had never been published, to
support his opinion. The recommends
ton of the committee, as published in
the house journal, he said, Is alto
gether different from the bill as pub
lishcd. 1t was stated here today that
the law would probably be contested
by a citizen Of Florancc.

This community needs your help.
You need the help Of every dollar in
order to make a better community in
which to live. You need the prosperi-
ty of this community to make your
property Of greater value and to give
you the benefits Of better communi-

Prosperity In Laurens

There is nothing Of greater import
ance to us than the prosperity of our
community. Prosperity at home is
based on local business conditions.
If our local merchants and store
keepers transact large volume of
business their prosperity is communi-
Gated to every person in the entire
community.
The value Of our real estate increas-
es. Wages are increased. There is
more money in circulation and 1t is
more readily obtained for purposes Of
expansion, paying for improvements,
buyig luXuries, etc.
In every way we can discover bet
ter conditions on all sides when our
business men are busy.
There Is every reason in the world
why we should sped our cash at home
instead Of sending it to the big cities.
by keeping it in circulation in our
home community we profit in many
ways.
Every dollar sent ont of our town to
the mail order houses detracts Just so
muck from our own individual pros
perity, as we'll as from the prosperity
Of the store keeper and from the COM
munity In general.
Think of the consequences If we
shoul all send to the mail order hous-
es for our necessities and our luxu-
ries. How long would it be before our
local merchants would have the "clos-
ing out sale" signs on their doors, to
be followed by the "for sale" signs on
the stores themselves?
And when the business houses are
all advertised for sale what will be
the value OF our own houses and lots
Such conditions have actually pre-
vailed in some communities. 1t has
happened that the citizens became
big cities for the greater part Of their
The local merchants
abandoned the field, because there was
no business there for them. The bur
den Of taxation fell on the various
property owners, because there were
no business concerns to bear the big
which generally falls to
their share. Property values decreas-
ed until there we're no bidders for un-
desirable real estate. The town be-
came dead.
In the meantime the head OF big
mall order house in Chicago was draw
ing an income OF over million and a
quarter dollars, made possible by the
business received by his concern, BY
mail, from such communities as the
one above described and from our own
community, as we'll as from others all
over the United States.
or course, 1t was all done unthink-
1ngly. Those who sent their dollars
to the mail order house did not stop
to consider that these same dollars
would add to the prosperity of the
come community If expended at home.
They did not stop to reason that by
helping those In their own community
they would be best advancing their
own interests,

COTTON PRICES
SOMEWHAT WIDER
Small Declines Early Part Of the Week
Due Largely to LiquidatiOns.


Due Largely to Liquidations.
New Orleans, April 30.-While price
movements In cotton this week we're
somewhat wider than they have been
they were still within narrow limits
and the close nine points lower to 26
points higher than the close the pre-
ceding week. At the highest the list
stood at net gains OF 13 to "a points
and the lowest stood at net losses Of
16 to 90 points. May traded up to
l712 at the middle OF the week, after
saggng to 1911 in the early sessions.
Finally closing at 1890. In the spot
department middling gained IL points
in the net resul closing at 100. a
year ago middllne closed at 1.25.
Small declines OF the early part Of
the week weer due to liquidation
which accompanied first May notices
this sort OF selling being in sympathy
with the issuance OF notices for $4,000
bales in the New York market Motto
cs here amounted to only 1000 bales.
After first notice day was over more
attention was paid to river and wca-
ther news which was unsatisfactory,
on the whole, causing a buying move
mcnt Of moderate proportions on which
the market moved up to it's highest
levels. The extremely heavy rains in
Texas, accompanied by further floods
were considered to be extremely dam
aging to crop prospects in that state.
The break in tho Mississippi river
levee in Concordia parish, Louisiana,
put large area OF cotton land under
water and experienced cotton men cX-
pressed the ovinion that the water
would not subside in time to allow
anything but n very late start for the
crop In that section Of the belt. In the
eastern belt there were more or less
complaints about too much rain in
some sections, too little in others and
Of too low temperatures for germina-
ton here and there Opinion here at
the end OF the week was that general
ly speaking, planting had not made
tho progress that should be seen at
this time Of the year.
The matter Of acreage caused much
discussion and three private estimates
made their appearance, one placing the
increase in the acreage at six per cent,
another at II per cent and another at
10 per cent. The later report indi-
Gated almost the largest area on rec
ord 37,469,O00 acres. The figures
caused little stir in the market be-
cause they seemed to be regarded as
too high.
Mill accounts were somewhat bet
ter and much favorable comment fol-
lowed the news by cable from Liver
pool that the Lancashire dispute had
been settled. Reports from New Eng
land to brokers here that several
large mills might cancel some Of the
business they had taken because Of the
prolonged strike. caused almost sen
sation. Later In the week the trade
was favorably impressed by estimates
of 10000 pieces Of print cloths as the
weeks sales in the Fall River market
Weekend circulars continued to call
the market much OF weather affair
and predicted the fluctuations Of the
near future would depend largely on
the weather map.
