SLr-Te prop : J; ' -rty; of the State will be assessed for tSi.taxation on a basis of 42 per cent, of v the true valuation, the rate employed : ; in former years, in conformity with Xs Jthe m wishes of the Legislature, ac 7c6rding to. a letter which has been mailed to the county auditors and :; -.'boards Df assessors of the State. The :i rescinding of the resolution adopted at the auditors' meeting in this city . ' December 29, 1917, was the result of the resolution adopted by the Legis-v-lature'a few days ago. The auditors of the State met in ?f - this city in their annual convention l iand adopted av resolution placing the assessment of all property in the State on a basis of 50 per cent, valu V: ation. This was to operate with the taxing ' of both farm property and " .bank stocks, and the idea of the Tai :10 Commission at the time of introduc ; ing the resolution was -to raise the 4 assessment and lower tne levy, uney also 'took the position that a more v-: '-equitable adjustment of taxation could U be reached in this way, as much of it' the property of the State was not on V;, the tax books.

C, Jan. 30.r-The statement that Uncle , Sam is building hundreds of aeroplanes "of Ohe most improved patterns" to aid in vthe war against the Germans, means little to the average person. To most people an aeroplane is an aeroplane. Very few of those outside -, of the military service realize that the types of fly ing machines evolved during the three years and more of the war vary as materially as do the types of ships comprising 4 the United States ' Navy. mere is naray more ainerence, in fact, between a battleship and a de stroyer than there is between one of the new battleplanes and- a single- seater scout. These latter are, in fact, the "de stroyers " of the air. They can easily attain a speed, of 150 miles an hour. climb more than one thousand feet Fight Tuberculosis. Sumter, Jan. 31.

Harrell, of Lanes, roadmaster on the Charleston division of the Atlantic Coast Line, was run down by a pas senger train late Monday afternoon and instantly killed The accident happened near Lanes. Mr. Harrell was traveling in his railway motor car. It was foggy and he did not see the passenger train until it was close upon him. He jumped and would have escaped death had he not attempted to save his motor and at the same time probably avoid damage to the passenger train. The pilot of the engine hurled the motor car upon him and killed him instant ly. The negro helper on the car es- Tcaped injury. Mr. Harrell leaves a widow and several children, Ask fcr Quarantine. : " ; ; .. Gaffney S. C; Jan. 31A. mass r meeting was held by the citizens of Gaffney Monday at" which a " resolu- tion was passed asking the local ; "beard ; of 'health to adopt a stringent ; ; qiirantine regulation against Char ' ; .lotte, Columbia, Spartanburg and Greenville,' during the prcvalejice of i meningitis at those places. This move vas deemed necessary because lof the fact that many individuals are ? carriers of the dread disease who are immune themselves, and it is believed 1 ,: that this causes the disease to spread ' Ja many: communities. : " Barnyard Hen Also Helps Win War. v "Washington, Jan. 31. The Ameri can hen is strutting forth from the back yard and -farm to join the American forces fighting the Ger mans. "The hen wiH win the ,war? comes frpm; no. less ' areliab!dTsource,. than the )epartnient!of JAgrlctura.' ' - To this - is added an- appeal - from the Department-to- the farmers fo- in- crease their production of chickens and eggs, so as to save more meat to send abroa"d, for the use ol Amer ica's fighting men. The hen must- take her nlace among those who are helping to win; it 18 to Photograph the enemy land behind the enemy's lines. Un- Ike the battleplanes, fighting is hot their main business. At the other end of the scale are the corps buses, as they are temied in the war zones, whose duty is to keep up constant communication be tween the firing line and their attach ed battalions in the rear. Almost any machine can be made to do duty as a corps bus. It Is the last stage downward before the training bus pe riod is' reached; after which the ma chine goes to the scrap heap. The bombing machines are the guerillas of the. air. Their pilots are a law. unto themselves, darting .hitheH and thither at their own free will and dropping their "eggs' on aerodromes, ammunition depots, railway stations, or any other chance target that hap pens to attract their attention. With the bombing-machines usual y go two or more double-seater fight ing scouts. These serve a two-fold purpose. They protect the bombers against attacks by hostile aeroplanes; and in between whiles, if no enemy machine is in sight, they will swoop down, and from a height of a few hun dred feet start machine-gunning any likely target a detachment of troops on the march, a transport column, or a stray motor car. The fighting scout pilots term these little diversions as "ground stunts." Then there are the patrol buses, en tirely different from the corps buses already mentioned. The patrol bus is a low flying, slow-moving machine, Iwhosi malttf utyr ponsists in mother- Ingjfbe infantry during an advance. That "is "io sWt they .follow their d jhgs signal back for reinforcements when necessary, inforih'the gunners when, to . carry . forward their barrage, and report progress generally to brig ade "headquarters in the rear. . , Then, again, there are the machines fitted with cameras, whose business de- New York, Janr30.

She was a'white, sneering, Ghost of a woman. Her face the color of snow In a factory town. Her mouth a vivid, fed line Had lost its curves. She . had frizzled 'wisps Of yellow hair ; ' As lifeless as exel$idr, ? And they sat sidd by side In a Temple of Justice, Caring not what"the judge decreed. They existed that was all. ( Yet not so long ago As we measure time, They tugged at . breasts , Of adoring mothers, Who. held high hopes, And built rosy castles, For these innocents' future. ' But now every hand Seemed turned against them. They were victims of a city. Cold, crushing and pitiless. Victims of an environment Over which they had no control. And I wondered If, after all, . ; We must learn That the human 'animal-caged Becomes the beast again And that steel bars Only press human beings Deeper into the abyss. Outside the great sun Hung in mid-heaven, Like a disc of burnished brass. The tangy air Swept up from the harbor. Outside it was good to be alive. And then the jailor, A grizzly gorgon, Came and led them Back to their dank, foul cells.

The camera carrying machine is a two-seater, very fast, and,, as Its work takes it always well inside the danger jzohe it carries also with it one or more machine guns together with as many drums of am munition as can conveniently be stowed" on board. Of an altogether different type are the aeroplanes whose special duty it is to guide and control the fire of the heavy guns. These are exceedingly stabld machines, carrying powerful wireles Installations, with which they are able to signal immediately every hit or miss as the case may be, to the gunners manipulating the enormous pieces of ordnance ten .twelve or more miles distant, and' who, in most instances, are-quite finable to see the target at which Jhey are aiming. The cost of these different types of machines varies considerably, but all are . expensive- to make, and tend to become more so. month by month. Moreover, theMife of an aeroplane is an exceedingly short one. A machine brand-new from the factory, embody ing all the latest improvements, is good for perhaps four or five months of -active service, just holds its own for. perhaps two , or vthree , more, and then becomes obsolete, except as a training bus. - The Giralda, a steamer of 4,400 tons, was sunk by a German subma rine January. 26, after the vessel had been pillaged, according to a Madrid dispatch of Sunday, last. The crew was saved. ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED Washington, Jan. 31.

Further diver sion of trans-Atlantic tc eight to South ern ports to relieve congestion in the port of New York, was disscused at a conference today between Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping Board and representatives of the War and Navy Departments the food and fuel ad ministrations, the director general of railroads and shipping men. The intention, is to move a va3t amount of manufactured products to Charleston and Savannah for ship- ment overseas. The port of New York is so con gested with freight th,ft ships are finding It hard to load. Freight des tined for overseas also is stored in cars miles back from the water front in New Jersey.
