C., May 28, 1931, You South Carolina folk are all I the time slandering North Carolina about her high taxes. Look around [ your own premises and tell us what the poor man has to pay in the way of taxes on his so-called luxuries and I "rite or foam " ours truly ^ Harum Skarum I Deal Harum You keep off South Carolina. We are in fine shape. Nearly every leg islator we have can read and write and spell. Lots and lots of ’em have actually worked in stores, and some I of them have studied law, but the majority of them are good business men and know all about whetting «tws and where to put the tax. As little as you think of it, South Carolina citizens pay only a 40 per cent tax on gasoline and not quits 28 per cent on cigarettes and less' than 16 percent on chewing tobacco and not quite 72 per cent on malt for making home brew and nearly 35 per cent on golf balls and hardly 36 per cent on good candy, and Just 20 per cent on soft drinks and scar cely 15 per cent on real estate, and [perhaps 18 per cent on their install ment automobiles. But snuff bears I only a 10 percent tax Home oia mean somebody irom out-of-the state has circulated the re j port far and near that the laat iag I islature has put a 2 cent stamp tax i on doodles and a 4-cent tax on doo ; die holes. That's an out-and-out fab ricated falsehood; the man evidently had walking-sticks on his mind; and not doodles or appurtenances there to. We are getting tired of out-siders talking about us. Whoever told that half of the land of South Carolina will be sold for taxes during the next ten years told something that he knew absolutely nothing about. Why, the best posted men in our “Bugs” Baer proposes a solution [for the Muscle Shoals problem. He suggests that it be cut up into show er baths. Both political parties seem rather reluctant to take the responsibility [ for what the next congress may do. ---- Booze Cheaper In Price And In Grade Hickory, May 27.—Bootleg liquor is not only coming down in price in the Hickory area, but it is falling off in quality, according to the comment of those who profess to kndw. One man about town today de clared that all the comment he has heard recently has agreed that the booze that is being peddled in these parts is the "rottenest’' it has ever been. On the other hand, everyone says the prices are “shot to pieces ‘ and the bootlegger now docs like the strawberry farmer—he takes what he can get for his wares Beef Price* Lowest Since The Year 1926 Chicago Daily News. Beef prices are now at the lowest level since December 1926, G. F. Swift president of Swift and com pany, said today. Tills is because of largely increased cattle receipts dur ing the last six weeks. Live cattle prices are unprofitable to producers i From the standpoint of cost and food-value, Mr, Swift asserted, beef' should be on the table of every home daily, •'Great responsibility for future cattle production rests upon retail ers, who should be willing to specia' - ir.e on beet sales, in order to push beef into consumption.” Mr. Swift said. “If there are further declines in livestock prices they will have the effect of still further decreasing cat tle production, and this will result later in extremely high prices for beef, to the disadvantage of retail ers and consumers.” i Drug Co. Mrs. H. S. Plaster, winner of the general high score prize, was also winner of an attractive hooked ehalr mat, given as high score prize by Mrs. Ben Buttle who was en tertaining members of the Tuesday afternoon bridge club and a few guests at three tables. Simple but delicious refreshments were served by members of the Golf club. At the evening party bridge was played at nine tables and prizes were won as follows: First prize for ladies by Mrs. R. V. Woods, dress material given by Ora mill; first prize for men* by Mr. Clyde Short, a dozen golf balls, given by the Cleveland Hardware Co.: the second prize went to Mrs. Sam Schenck, a cookie set by the Shelby Hardware Co.; and the second prize for men was a carton of cigarettes given by ! the Plggly Wiggly company, and went to Mr. Grady Lovelace. Sim ple refreshments were served at the close of ^the evening state say that not over 49 percent of! it will be sold for taxes within 9 years and 8 months, so there you are. Now, Mr. Harem—if the hen-egs stamp tax had passed the house in stead of being vetoed by the senate, we would have been up against it. It was the purpose of this proposed bill to require each hen to affix a 5-cent tax stamp to every egg she laid be fore it got cold.
