CONCORD. JULY 7, 1897.
ANOTHER BAD LAW.
Among our fusion reform acta in
the last legislature, none the least
in ud kindness, Dot to say down light
hard heartednist, wis the taxing of
all legacies. ' Due proyisions are
tirade for all property to ' bear its
hare of tbe burden of taxation, but
to meet the needless increase of ex
penses for running the government,
and especially the legislature, in the
interests of pie, every device had to
te resor ted to, even to taking a part
of the little legacies left when a
family is robbed by death of its
-main support, the father.
Here is the law:
schedule C.
"Section 39, The taxes embraced
J n fill a BVl Arl ti I n aVioll imL.A .1
&U HUiO OUUCUUIS SUBI1 uc 110 bOU (liiU
cpaid as specially therein directed,
and shall be for the privilege of
-carrying on the business or perform
-ing t Jie acts narked- V v
V -"Section 41, The clerk of the Su-
enor Court m each county shall
.require every administrator and
-every executor upon the filing of the
annual reports required by law of
vsuoh administrators or executors to
'deposit in the' office of the olerk to
be turned over in ten days to the
jjsherriff or the tax collector of the
county, the following taxes : Upon
all legacies and inheritances devised
'
-or descended to oeraona in the direct
'line, two thirds of one per cent, and
upon all such legacies and inherit
tances devised or descending collaU
OB o ra
-for Charitable uses) one and onehalf
-per cent, and no administrator or
- executor to file his final account un
Jess -and until such taxes are paid or
discharged." .
Two thirds of one per cent is
3ioity8ix ana two thirds cents on
-every one hundred dollars. So if a
taaaa is taken from his family and by
frugality has saved up say six hund-
-red dollars apiece for his family,
.tbe state steps in and takes four
ollars of the amount and if the
heirs are orphan grand children the
-State lays its hand on the six hund
red and takes up nine dollars of tbe
.amount. f "' ; ' ' ' " '
-Could not heirs unfortunate in
the ices cf their main stay, be al
lowed to, have the, too often Very
mall amounts, left them instead of
'Peing d'scriminated against and
Tand made to bear heauer' burdens
-than would have had to be born for
them if death had not invaded the
"household?
yln this again we do . not believe
'that most of those who voted for the
law considered well what thev ttgi-p
-doing, but a reckless grabbing for
- -.
all the pie that could be gotten, j
blinded the eyes probably or jiairiy
good men and through-the sophistry j
of fair speech got the unseemly act
passed. .j
It is nice to be Charitable and it
is most admirable to be magnani-l
mdus to erring man, but magnani
mity is not a virtue when directed
toward those who displaced better
men in office by all sorts of misrep
resen tatibns ' and false charges and
false promises of reform .
We don't care a snap what party
is in cower so it eives us the best
government but we don't want our
party abused, slandered, calumniated
t j -. ' j '-: s
-and traduced only to make room for
men in office who worst almost every
law they touch. !;
"There is retribuaon in history."

Our sisfer State of South Carolina
is now being swept over by a Sena
torial campaign that is demoralizing
and contemptible. At Sumter, the
8rting point, McLaurin opened
the campaign with a dignified
statesman-like speech, it is saidrbut
his rival ex-Senator Irby, who did
not grace theStatewhen he had the
office, threw fire brands into the
canvass by the most insulting ' epi
thets and the direst charges against
McLaurin, who resented the thrueg.
The scene became extremely sensa
tional and it is only the beginning.
If voters can be induced to sit down
on such men as Irby a premium
may be placed on statesmanship.
