Is it the Lake Comity News cr the Rutledge County Times? / If taxes have inci eased nearly od$ hundred per cent .this year, F what will they be the next year (if 1 the proposed new county wins r?' out) with two county governments to maintain in the same area where hitherto has existed only one? Don't let any one insult r Km vo?r intelligence bv telling von g i that taxes will be no higher. L Our Cades correspondent scores ? a good poiut against the new B county project, so far as the people of Jobnson?ille and vicini'ty are concerned, when he reminds HV them that they need a comty , nB|^h seat nearer home more than Lake , BS9Kpity does. When the road from j JBj^^Bosemary to Marion is completed P and and chartered we have no , m donbt that there will be an ef- ( fort to establish a new county h If?? f"?rU9M Qt WlllWPrturg # and ^eorgebwh, unless the parties to receive the greatest bene- j it throw away their opportunity j BgL by voting for the Lake(orRutledge) j Oounty proposition. If there is " to be a new county formed we j bad far rather see it established 1 ) in the lower part of Williams- | burg, supplemented by a slice < from the upper part of George- 1 town, which besides not hopelessly dismembering old Williams- f ; f burg, as will the "loop the loop" ' rcj territory our Lake City friends expect to carve out, would make f a compact area with something like regularity of boundaries. | Moreover, the people who have to drive thirty or forty miles to the county seat now would be but little benefited, if at all, by hav- . " ing a county seat at Lake City. So, we say, by all means, if theie is to be a new county - formed, ht the people1 most in * ? * * Ci -3 1 !i need 01 it De oeneniea oy n. iu establish Lake or (Rutledge) pry^eouiity would sacrifice their op^3 portunity forever. W Can They Do It? ' The town of Lake City proV poses to build a court house and I a jail for $8,00(XWith building ma! terial and labor at the present price, ' \ it wsuld require miraculous financi- i erincr to carry out this promise. 3um- , ter county has recently completed a court house alone at a cost of $75,000 and Clarendon is preparing to issue bonds for $50,000 to build a court , honae. Even our little county jail cost $8,460, ^ * * . . and the court house extension of 12 feet, $4,000. But perhaps a cipher * was dropped in tb^ sum total ?nd , those mag nanimons * citizens who pledge themselves to build a jail and a conrt house agreed to raise $80,000 instead of $3,000. i Don't Increase the Levy. Governor Ansel does not favor extending the time for paving havps nuii if is vprv nrohablfi that there will be no extension this year. We rather agree with him as to the poor economy of V annually extending the time for the payment of tuxas, bnt when he comes with a second proposition to raise the tax levy in order to put the State on a cash basis we believe that he is making a grave miscate Of course it would save the State ihe money paid out in interest each year if it could rna its business on a ca3h basis. But raising the tax levy would hardly accomplish ^this, even temporarily. Already the tax levy is high enough to aeiray an legitimate expenses and with increased resources, added to the tax levy on corporations, the aggregate revenue increases year by year. But there is the legislature to reckon with. If taxes were raised so as to increase the State's revenue to a billion dollars a year there are always enough demagogues in the general assembly who, seeking self-aggrandizemeot, will make appropriations so extravagant as to drain the treasury and plunge the State into debt ragain. So, Governor, please don't recommend increasing tne lax levy, unless yon are prepared to veto every reckless and extravagant appropriation gotten through by hare-brained "statesmen", whose main object is to make themselves "solid" with their constituents by giving them with one bund ?ud taking away with the rther. , w - r rf.~ ^ ^ It is very important and in fact t is absolutely necessary to health that we give relief to the stomach promptly at the first signs of trouble ?which are belching of gas, nantea, soar stomach, headache, irritability and nervousness. These are warnings that the stomach has been mistreated; it is doing too much work and it is demanding help from you. Take something once in a' while; especially after meals; something like Kodol for Dyspepsia and indigestion. It will enable your itomach to do its work properly. Sold by W L Wallace, M. D.

Years ago as a New England sea captain wag signing a contract at a shipping office he was observed by the official in charge to be writing a string of names. "Only sign for yourself, cap'en," cried the officer, "not for the whole crew." The captain grimly pointed out the heading?"Name in full"?and went on writing his piece, which, when he had done, the officer, after some trouble in deciphering, found to read thus: "Through-Much-Tribulation-We-Enter-Into-the-Kinedom of-Heaven Clapp.*' "Will you please to tell me, Captain Clapp," said he, with as demure a face as his violent inclination to indulge in a hearty laucrh would allow him to put on, ; "what might your mother have called you in your infancy to save heri self the trouble of repeating a ser: mon whenever she had occasion to . name her darling?'' "Why, sir," ref plied Captain Clapp, with laughable simplicity, "when -f was little they used to call me Trilby for shortness." Show a Bad Example. \ A grocer who was noted for his j carefulness had an advertisement inserted in a local newspaper for a message boy, and a young fellow who understood the kind of a gentleman who was advertising came to apply for the situation, and while the grocer was telling him how careful he must be a fly settled on a bag of sugar, and the grocer caught it and threw it away. The boy then ; said: "If you want me to be careful you are showing me?a bad example/' "Why ?" replied the former. "Because," said the boy, "you, have thrown that fly away without brushing the sugar off its feet."? London Mail. p^EZ)in ii linn?

Init "Stria, or Bow to Draaa CarraetlT." traa if yom aaantioa thia pnbl - ... A Noble Critic. When Pope was first introduced to Lord Halifax to read his "Iliad," the noble critic generously criticised this passage and that word at frequent intervals. * The poet was stung with vexation, for the parts that most pleased hira were the ones most criticised. As he returned home with Sir Samuel Garth he revealed his displeasure. "Oh." said Garth, "you are not acquainted frith ins lordship, tie must criticise. At the next visit read him the same passages and tell him you recollected his criticisms." Pope made use of this stratagem. Lord Halifax was delighted and exclaimed, "Pope, they are now inimitable!"
