COLUMBIA, S. C., Feb. 22.—Since the law went into effect in December requiring that the money for tag tax on fertilizers shall be paid directly into the State treasury, $37,272.74 has been received by State Treasurer Bates. The entire tag tax collections for the fiscal year, from November 1, 1889 to October 31, 1890, as shown by the report of Commissioner Butler, was $32,160.85. So that it is seen that the collections for the tag tax since they have been paid directly to the State Treasurer are only $4,897.11 less than the amount collected for the whole past fiscal year. It will be interesting to note at the close of the present fiscal year how much increased revenue from this single source will come in as the result of the vigilant effort now adopted for the detection and punishment of the parties who have been seeking to evade the payment of the tax.—Register.
