in Co. <. IA S. C. Regt., commanded
by Capt D. C. Tompkins and served
faithfully during the entire war, e&-
cept when Enabled by a severe
wound in the mouth. The ball knock
ed out several teeth and lodged in his
throat, and after quite a while he
coughed it up, a large minee ball.
After the war he returned home AMI
worked on the farm of his former
Captain a good friend, DR.. D. G.
Tompkins. By his honest labor he
made a good living for himself and
family. He had a most excellent
wife who was a real help mate,
thus he contributed a noble part of
the fundamental basis of Agricul-
ture and by his hard work in the
field was a producer and the noblest
class Of society, because it is the
hardest class to do without, in fact
indispensable and now also growing
scarcer every year.
"I'll fares the land to fastening
Ill a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and
men decay;
Princes and lords may flourish or
may fade
A breath can make them as a
breath has made,
But a hold pleasantly, there
Country's pride,
When once destroyed can never be
supplied"
After Mr.. Timmerman's wife died
and he became unable to work, he
was sent to the Confederate Home
in Columbia where he spent his last
days comfortable supplied with every
want by the county he
loved so well and which he 50 brave
ly defended with courage and ability.
He was buried at his request by
the side of his wife at the McKendree
Church Yard and near where he
first saw the light.
He now is at rest in that land of
pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign.

Street Cars VS.. Jitneys

DE fSSdrUeu do all Anoe
s.fool rushing in where angels fear
TO tread, yet we can not refrain,
because of our abiding interest in the
welfare and progress of Augusta,
from expressing the opinion that the
city council of Augusta has erred
egregicusly in permitting jitneys to
operate in open ard direct opposi-
ton to the street cars of the city,
the ground for this action by the
city council being the increase in
fares made by the street car COM
pany some time ago.
Now, the only sourc of revenu of
a street railway company with which
it is to pay overhead expenses, taxes
repairs, and a reasonable return up
on the money invested, is from the
small fares charged. When operat-
ing expenses increase and there
comes, at the same time, a decrease
in volume of business, due to the in
roads made by the increasing number
of automobiles, there are but two
courses open to a street railway COM
pany, either to increase its fares to
meet changed conditions over which
1t has no control, or ultimately to go
into bankruptcy. It seems that the
company in Augusta chose the for
mer course, that of increasing fares.
Instead of considering the matter
on a broad, businesslike basis, it ap-
pears that the. city council yielded to
pressure brought to bear by a some
what prejudiced public and permitted
jitneys to make further inroads upon
the business which rightfully be-
longs (by reason of franchise grant
ed) to the street car company. Such
a course by the city council was un-
wise and the city will ultimate suffer,
because the street car company may
be forced into bankruptcy. The
council should stand by the company,
one of the city's largest taxpayers,
rather than the several hundred
jitneys which in the aggregate pay
but little into the city treasury.
AS between. street cars and jitneys,
the city council should support the
street cars Loyalty.

Should Tax Luxuries

The unwillingness Of the legisla-
Eure, more particularly the senate,
TO shift a portion of the tax burden
from those who have scarcely more
than actual necessities upon those
who indulge in many needless
~1uxuries, is difficult to understand.
For many years the cry has been
raised against high taxes but now
there is real ground for the COM
pla;nt. Those who WI real estate
and nther tangible property are pay
ing TOO great a portion of the expen-
Sc of our government, and it is but
common justice that a new system
of taxation be inaugurated that will
canse those who indulge in luxuries
to bear a just portion of this burden.
Unless a change is made, the peo-
nile will have a re-adjustment of
things in the campaign next summer.
Some new sources of revenue have
been provided but sufficient relief
has not been provided to relieve
those who are bearing more than a
fair proportion of the tax burden.
The people, when an opportunity is
given, will make a change in the
personnel of the general assembly,
electing men who will take a broader
and more just view of tax the situa-
lion
After ALL, what reasonable argu-
ment can be advanced against a tax
Ia heavy tax, if you please-upon
auxuries. 1t is not a compulsory tax
Only those who care TO indulge i n
these luxuries are called upon to pay
IL One can leave off the luxuries
and thus be relieved of the tax.

however, large margin between The
mine value and the retail value, or
between the rough diamond and the
cut gem, but it is easily accounted
for.
A diamond in the rought may lose
two thirds in cutting. A six-carat
stone in the rough may not produce
| more than Jwo-carat cut diamond.
The cost of cutting and polishing is
one big additional charge in getting
the final marketable gem.
South African diamonds in the
rough and subjected to a tax that
ranges from SO to 60 per cent. The
rough stones are sent to London
where the great diamond syndicate
handles them. There is charge for
sorting and selling. The stones are
divided into parcels" in London and
are sold to the cutters, only a selected
few of whom are allowed to buy. The
syndicate needs no salesmen The
cutters in Amsterdam, Antwerp and
New York are notified by telegraph
or cable that parcels Of diamonds
await them. The buyer goes to the
sellcr-not the seller to the buyer.
The buyer cannot hagglc over prices.
Nor can he pick and choose. He can
Gel AMI have them replaced with 9TH
:ers. He must take the parcel allotted
to him or go without. 1t may be, and
usually so happens, that all diamonds
III given package or parcel are not
| suitable to the buyers trade. He
must take them nevertheless, and sell
what he does not want to other cutters
not on the syndicatc's list of buyers.
The buyers of the parcels almost in
varlably are cutters who make bust
ness of converting the rough stones
into cut and polished gems. The
stones which are brought into Amcri-
ca bear a duty Of 10 per cent. il in
the rough or 20 per cent if cut and
polished. From the cutter, they go
to the broker and the jobber, then to
the manufacturing jcwelcr and from
him to the wholesaler or the retailer
and then to the individual From the
time the diamond leaves the mine in
Africa until it gets to the buyer,
whether by way of London and Ant
| wcrp or Amsterdam or New York,
every process and every change in
hands entails added cost and profits
so that the mine value of the stones
is but a small portion Of the eventual
price paid for them.
