WHERE IS THE REMEDY? Tho Walhalla Courier estimates that thc various laxes to bo imposed upon tho poor tax payer this year State, county and school taxes-will foot vip over two million dollars, and thinks this enormous tax should be a living issue in tho coming campaign.

Tho period of prosperity through which our country is passing presents problems that call for thought mid solution?. Two thousand capitalists own more than all tho rest of tho nixty livo millions of our population. Two hundred ?nd fifty thousand rich men control 7/3 per cent, of tho na tional wealth. Thc American Repub lio ?8 therefore practically owned hy less than ono quarter of a million of persone. If present eatises which pro duce concentration of capital continue, tho Republic will soon bo owned hy less than fifty thousand mon. This rapid concentration of wealth in a low hands gives to trusts and monopolies the power to control I ho government and tax tho people indirectly for their support. If it bc truo that tho rich nro growing richer and the poor poor er, it will require the wisdom of truo atntosmon lo prevent tho clashing of interests and collision of classes.-A. it, Presbyterian. Atol* i i om Mvd Hill. . MP.. lOoiToh: ^Please allow us u little*] space in your most valuable paper. Wo have had another heavy rain accompanied by some freezing weather. Your reporter was talking to that big-hearted neighbor of our Mr. J. II. Thomas. Ho told us that ho bad ohorge of the soino at Hunt's Bluff Friday, and only ouught one hundred and thirtoon. God bless you, Mr. T., wo ure very fond of shad. Wo aro sorry to report that Mr. JVuics IC. Cox is very ill with a rising in his head. Mr. G. H. W. Dunn sud family are all siolt with tho grip. The next lime that we seo Mr. H. G. P. wo viii inform him thut five drakes wcro econ lust Sunday night week. So the next time ho goes hunt ing ho lind better carry "buckshot" in tho place of "snow balls," as ho will find them much harder to kill than '.ducks." Some of our roads are in a fearful condition. Tho boys gay thut it is the "cuw track." Your reporter heard that tbpro is a young man in our community that has made five hundred dollars and a horse and buggy this year by courting. It must pay; wish I was single again. Can you tell us, through your pa per, why it id that somo people go to God's houso to misbehave? Also, why the buck seats in our churches are. so popular? What a happy world this would be if evory man would attend to his own business and let his neighbor's a.one. Some people wear two faces, And that is very Unfair, For when you look for a man You expect to find him lhere. Don't always bc finding"faull Arid talking about your brother, For if you talk about one man You'll talk about another. Oh, no, don't never shake his hand, Wearing that talsc face, And then go off and hand him around, Saying he is not fit lor the place. If there is a man You think hasn't done you right Don't sneak around And try to stab a harmless man lor spite. Som'' people love to tell you news. They think it very kind To tell you something they think Will always please your mind. Hut if they knew What other lolks were thinking, Perhaps they would sec what lools they were For trying to be kind. We cannot blame some people though, They cannot help but tattle, For long ago I heard it said An empty cart would rattle. Mil iv! ,,,, I ?QO, 13 O'.

A goodly number of us havo gotten to he reporters. Well, our talents run in thut line. Some of us are a lit tle moro lamed than others, but "Guess Who" will follow und correct all mistakes. '"It is human U err, but folly to be wise Wo all want a free ride on the iron horse to Fayetteville. Wo believe in working our way, and if we can't work out a first class ride wo will go on the cow catcher. "Guess Who" has appointed ono of our beat boys a "Masher." My ex pcrieuco with him is that he is poor on ft "mash," but death on a "squeeze." Our Soeial Circle meets Wednesday night. What a time we will have. Then come April. The fools arc writing the fools ns hard ns wo can. When this beat gels through with all these frolics you will be glad to pay us off for a while. The weather lins Humped us. Wo have been rending upon tho weather signs, Horschils, Hicks, &c, nnd all have railed and vegetables killed. I think Undo Joel could be 01 moro service to his community and ours if he would quit cutting stovo wood and devote more of his attention to his woather signs. I am told that ho has a pet sign by which ho is entirely gov erned usto rain which never fails, He has two weights suspended by a cord and he can tell very accurately when it is going to rain Will Uncle Joel tell us nil about some of his signs, es pecially this one?
