THE WAREHOUSE LAW.
Some Opposition to State Warehouse
Law and Accompanying Tax.
The az'tte has m-elvert on one or
two oorasioiis 'iiiii'laiiits from some of
its farmer friemls regarding the ware
louse la an t the L'.Voeiit tax on each
bale f cotton that is imposed hy the
law. The Waxhaw Knterprise has fouinl
the same objections arising in its sec
tion and explains thus:
" Considerable opposition to the State
warehouse law. or to le more sjecifio to
the tax imposed under it have leen
Toieed lately. There seems to be an im
pression that the fund raised by this
tax is simply to be loaned for building
warehouses and that when it is paid
back it will be wasted or squandred or
something done with it that will not
benefit the farmer paying it. As a mat
ter of fa t. the tax is to i-reate a guar
antee fund to bark up the warehouse re
ceipts. No bank will lend money on
a warehou-e lec-eipt unless the receipt
ig backed by actual money '.nine to the
amount of all receipts issued. The Leg
islature could have le ied a straight
property tax. but that would have made
all property pay for benefits derived
only by one I;is nf property or property
owners and would not have been ju-t.
80 the tax was levied on cotton ginned
and baled, as baled cotton is the only
property benefitting under the law it i
proer for it to pay for the benefit.
The advantages and U'liefits to the cot
ton farmers will many times repay tin
little two bit per bale tax collected fo
finance the warehouse system.

back on the multi-millionaire.
Burns had said many violent things
against capitalists. There is uo doubt
that" Carnegie had a sincere admiration
for Burns as a self-educated and self
made man. And jKissibly in later years
Bums changed his opinions concerning
Andrew Carnegie.
BREST. Sept. 22 A few days ago.
according to a story in the French papers,
a street row occurred here in which some
American soldiers took part, one of
whom was hit by a revolver bullet. The
hospital surgeon took a loius time prob
ing the wound; but the American stoical
ly bore the pain.
"What are you doing anyway?" he
asked, finally.
"Looking for the bullet, " said the doc

LONDON, Sept. 23 Ernest Viztelly,
who made the name of Emile Zola known
in England through his comprehensive
translation of that French author's
works, and who for many years occupied
a high position in the London literary
world, was today an inmate of the sick
ward in a oNrth London workhouse.
Discovery of his impoverished condition
immediately set on foot a movement to
have his troubles taken before the Prime
Minister in the hope that his name will
be placed on the pension list.
For seven years Mr. Vizetelly, who is
now 6r) years old has been lodging in
Ca.ioubury where he was engaged last
winter in writing his latest book, ' ' Paris
and her People." He became ill, and
fell behind. EventuaJly he was faced
with the necessity of walking out into
the street with no where to lay his head.
BERLIN, Sept. 21 The trial of those
accused of the murder of the Munich hos

others. Much of the testimony taken re

ONCE REFUSED TO SHAKE
HANDS WITH CARNEGIE.
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, Sept. 2:i John Bums'
many friends have been almost as much
surprised as gratified that Andrew Car
negie should have left him l.(on a year,
for Burns once refused to shake hands
with Mr. Carnegie. Moreover Burns was
very proud of having done so and fond
of telling almut it. It happened in the
precincts of the House of Commons in
the days fVfore "Honest John" had ac
cepted the responsibilities of a minister
ial office and was fctill an untamed Social
ist, "Tdr. Cemegie was being shown through
the House of Commons by some disting
uished English friends. In the lobby
John Burns was encountered and ar
negie's attention was directed to him.
As Burns u-ed to tell the story of their
meeting Carnegie stepped up to him smil
ing and with outstretched hand ami said.
"Andrew Carnegie offers his hand to
John Burns." To which Burns replied.
"John Bums refuses to take the hand

An Agreeable Surprise.
"About three years ago when I was
suffering from a severe cold on my lungs
and coughed most of the time night and
day, I tried a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and was surprised at the
promptness with which it gave me re

surprised and pleased with the prompt
relief afforded by this remedy.
