One would imagine from the
number of democratic lawyers in
the state who are apparently seeking
the appointment to the now
Federal Judgeship likely to be created
in this state that a democrat
was now occupying the White
House. Democratic suppliants at
Republican throne is a humiliating
spectacle to the party.
Sheriff .John l\ Ilunter, who
was U S Marshal for the district
of S C, appointed by President
Cleveland during his last term of
ollice, was asked if he would al low
his name to be used for the
marslialship, in case a marshal
should have to be appointed for
the W ostein district ot tin# Mute.
Lie replied no, under no circonu
stances would he do so, that ho
hud never done anything for the
Republican party, and therefore,
the said party was in nowise under
any obligations to him; although
he had some good Republican
friends that ho thought a
great deal of, and whom he would
ever hold in kind remembrance.
To so lie one of these ho thinks
this otlice will most likely he given.
lie revered the name of the
late lamented President William
McKinley, not only on account of
allowing him to serve out his
term as U S Marshal unmolested
hut because ho believed him to
tie a good, conscientious man,
who endeavored to deal fairly and
justly with all matters concerning
this great nation.

of representatives voted Tuesday
to repeul the half mill tax on
counties voting out the dispen.
sary. Representative Foster
spoke against the tax, and The
State says put iu "somo telling
blows on the dispensary politic
and corporuto." He urged that
the special tax was un-Deuiocratic
and outrageous in his opinian. It
was a lawloss outrage to deny a
people the right to do as thoy
pleased and then he taxed. It is
a political scheme batched out by
the dispensary. Tho question is
one of right, and it was not a
question of blind tigers or expediency.
If the people decide an
issuo it ought to bo final. If
this tax keeps up ho would organ*
;* , lze his county to vote out the dispensary,
with or without the tax.

Mr. Richards of Kershaw spoke
against abolishing tho tax and is

jy In Lancaster we notice the anrt
nouncement in one of the papers,
that the huilding and loan associu- y
tion of that place has decided ~to
aisoana, ana tne stock is being
liquidated on account of tho heavy I
burden of Taxation. In Camden,
3y the building and loan association,
,l" which has been such a God-send
to so many in buying homes, is
le groaning undor tho needless and "
** unjust burden of taxation. Tho ji
?- taxes paid by one of the associa* *
tions have amounted to more than f
D" ill the other expenses of the Association,
including the salaries of j
fe the President, Secretary and
'd Treasurer, and a good deal of its j
r? stock is being liquidated If our
ie law makers could only reflect ?p'o
on what material advantages are ?
st to accrue to the State by exempt* '
ing these associations, which in fi
