It looks i like partiality to raise some and -J slight the other*. _ i li p The salaries of the county audi- a tor, the coonty treasurer and the J supervisor will probably be raised jj iu all the counties. These officials o in Williamsburg will hereafter re* f oeive $1,200, in lien of $900 each 0 for auditor and treasurer and J $700 for the supervisor. d c?e q There is a bill pending in the ? legislature to relieve the State J treasurer and certain ex-treasurers i K C of liability for bonds stolen by a their dishonest clerk, who was ? not under bot.d, thereby mulcting ? u the State of some thousands of V t! dollars. Is there any limit? t< _ _ . b '6! There is a plan on foot to re- ti a model the State house. It is only li a few years since many thousands ? of dollars were expended on this * same work and after being com- a pleted the work was condemned, a Something was said about suiug " the architect and contractors for !j the recovery of the State's money, ^ bnt we have never heard of any p money being recovered. v , e Another Junketing Tour. * "The special train provided by " the Atlantic Coast Line for the j use of the legislators consisted of 9 fire handsome new passenger u coaches, in addition to the bag- t gage car. There were two hundred j! and twenty-nine people on board * the special. Of this number twenc ty-nine were ladies." Thus is de3- t - - - . . .. E cribed by the reporter or tne wews < and Courier the vehicle and per- 8 lonnel of the most recent junketing J tour of the honorable gentlemen - of the general assembly. He also said that it was a jolly party, and no doubt it was, but the cost to the State was probably several thousands for the trip aud of course after accepting the generous hospitality of the Citadel the Solons could not well refuse the modest little appropriation it asks. At will be seen in the appropria tion Dili, wnicn we puonsn else- ' where, the Citadel wants this year i $62,750 as against $35,750 last year. . ; No wonder the State tax levy will be increased to six mills. Grippe is sweeping the country, j Stop it with preventics, before it gets deeply seated. To check early colds with these little Candy Cold , Cure Tablets is surely sensible aDd ' safe. Preventics contain no Quinine, no laxative, nothing harsh or sickening. Pneumonia would never appear if early colds were promptly i broken. Also good for feverish < children.
