Governor Takes Slap at Federal
Government and Empire
State in Refusal.
Those A, B, C. mediators may have
to be called in to settle a threatened
war between South Carolina and the
Fmpire State of Georgia, with Cole
Blease in the role of Victoriana
Huerta.
South Carolina's Adjutant General
notified the Adjutant General of this
State Wednesday that no Georgia
troops would be permitted to pass
through South Carolina on their way
to the big July camp of instruction
at Augusta, unless in the meantime
the sharp differences existing be
tween South Carolina and the Na
tional War Department are readjust
ed.
Before the troops of one State may
pass through apother State permis
sion from the Governor thereof must
be secured. This permission was
asked for by Georgia and was re
fused by South Carolina, speaking
through its Guvernor, Coleman L.
Blease. 3
The refusal of Blease will affect the
troops of Savannah, Elberton and Ab
beville, in Georgia, which, in order o
mave expense, had arranged to cut
through a small neck of South Caro
lina in order ‘o reach Augusta.
It Blease holds to his present pur
pose, moreover, it will become neces
gary for the troops of North Carolina
to go entirely around the State of
South Carnlina in order to get to Au
gusta.
This will entail upon the North
Carolina troops an enormous addi
tional expense.
Governor Blease is understood to
have been hitting at both the State
of Georgia and the Federal War De
partment in i{ssuing his order refusing
the troo-s of Georgia permission to
pass through the Palmetto State, as
he is not on cordial terms with the
powers that be in either instance.
North State Troops to
Ignore Blease Ban.
RALEIGH, N. C. July B.—High
military authorities are all at Camp
Glenn to-day, but it was said at the
Adjutant General's office that the
Second Regiment and two cavalry
troops surely would pass through
South Carolina to Augusta unless or
ders were received from the War De
partment commanding them to be
routed another way.
Officers here were surprised to
learn that Governor Blease had for
bidden Georgia and North Carolina
troops to pass through South Caro
lina and they could scarcely be
lieve that the South Carolina Gover
nor would carry his animosity so
fas as to protest against this. No
-protest has been received in Ra
filgh.

Wilson Spends Hour
Discussing Business
With Mid-West Men
WASHINGTON, July B.—The great
business interests of the Middle West
to-day had their innings at, the
White House, A group of members
of the Chicago Assoclation of Com
merce came to tell President Wilson
what the West thinks of his proposed
trust legislation and to discuss the
commercial and industrial conditions
existing in the heart of the natfon.
They were with the President an
hour.
The Chicagoans did not ask that
trust legislation be postponed. They
did not try to place any obstacles in
the way of speedy action upon the
pending measures. They emphasized
the idea that they believe the inter
state trade commission should have
power to define what is reasonable
and just in the business world, and
that it should have power to deflne
the law for the guidance of business
men so that they can proceed in a
given line of action with the assur
ance that they will not be harassed
by Federal prosecution.

COUTH
The first officlal information from
the local office of the United States
Revenue Department on the total in
come tax receipts collected for the
fiscal year ending June 30, was given
out Wednesday when Collector A. O.
Blalock announced that the corpora
tion and individual taxes in Georgia
aggregate $500,000, and that this
State leads every State in the South
except Louisiana.
The exact sum collected by the lo
cal revenue office up to June 30 was
$359,845.26 from corporations and
$115,74.11 from individuals, this
amount representing the net income
of the corporations and individuals
registered in the State subject to the
new law. Louislana's payments on
corporations are $397,092.96 and on in
dividuals $159,056.91.
Ten Days’ Grace Allowed.
Payments ci returns in the local
office of the Revenue Department will
be allowable until July 10, there be
ing ten days’ grace. After July 10 a
penalty of 5 per cent on net incomes
and 1 per cent per month will be in
force.
Collector Blalock said that over
$150,000 had been paid into his office
in income taxes during the last three
days of June, and that the total fig
ures, as sent to Washington for in
formation of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner, represent the approxi
mate total of the collectible tax on
net incomes, with the exception of
about $19,000, which is still to bhe
paid. 1
“l have gone over the aggregate
payments turned in by many of the
other Southern States,” said the col
lector, “and the figures for Georgia
show up mighty well. We are be
hind Louisiana and I attribute this to
the greatness of the port of New Or
leans.”
Can’t Estimate Wealth,
The collector said he could give no
estimate of the wealth represented in
the actual money collected on the in
comes, owing to the tax being appli
cable to net revenues alone, and not
on the capitalization of corporations
or the total wealth of individuals.
When the final collections are made
at the local office, the aggregate total
will reach the half million dollar mark
eaxily, the collector said, and few pen
salties will be imposed on delinquents,
judging from the rapidity with which
the payments have been filed so [ar
during the ten days’ grace.

Georgian Wednesday showed the
