THE TAX COLLECTOR. . fess T ransfoimatlcn of a Family?The Mv.tbmi ei'a Prayer. Brooklyn-, Sept. 23.?Rev. Dr. Talmage, who is now preparing to leave Australia for Icdia on his round the world tour, has selected as the subiect for today's sermon through the Dress "The Tax Collector's Conversion," the text beiDg taken from Luke xix, S, "This day is salvation come to this hcuae." Ziccheu3 wa* a politician and a taxgatherer. Ee had an honest calling but the opportunity for ''stealings" was sc large the temptation was too much for him. The Bible says he "was a sinner" ?that is, in the public sense. How many fiae men have been ruined by official position! It is an awful thing for any man to seek office under government unless his principles ot integrity are deeply fixed. Mmy a man upright in an Insignificant position has made ' * i- A ?. T anipwrecs m a ^raat uao. -^.o ?n. ?o ? can tell, in the city of Jerricho tills Zaccheus belonged to what might be called the "ring". They had thing3 their own way, successfully avoiding exposure, it by no other way perhaps by hiring somebody to break \z and steal the vouchers. Not v. withstanding his bad reputation, there were streaks of good about him, as there ? are about almost every man. Gold is found in quartz, and sometims in a very small percentage. Jesus was coming to town. The people turned out en masse tc see him. Tia enmes. the Lord of elorv. on foot, dust covered and road weary, limping along the "ray, carrying the griefs and woes of the world. He looks to be 60 years of age when he is only about 30 Zsochens was a short man and could not see over the people's heads while standing on the ground, so he got up into a sycamore tree that swung its arm clear over the road. Jesu3 advanced amid the wild excitement of the surging crowd. The most honorable and popular men of the city are looking on and trying to gain his attention. Jesus, instead of regarding them, looks up at the little man in the tree and says: "Ziccheus come down. I am going home with you." Everybody was disgusted to think that Christ would go home with so dishonorable a man. I see Christ entering the front'door of the house of Ziccheus. The king of heaven and earth sits down, and as he looks around on the place and the family he pronouEces the benediction of the "This rJftv is salvation noma to this MB ___ - house." H Wf - ~ Zaccheus had mounted the sycamore Hp tree out of mere fnquisitiveness. Ee WW wanted to see how this stranger looked HF ' ?the color of his eyes, the length of his hair, the contour of his features, the W height of his stature. "C)me down," said Christ. And so many people in this day get up into the tree of curiosity or specula" . tion to see Christ. They ask a thousand queer questions about his divinity, about [ (rod's sovereignty and the eternal decrees. They speculate and criticise and hang onto the outside limb of a great sycamoro. Bat they must come down from tha; if they want to be saved. We cannot be saved as philosophers, but as little children. You cannot go to heavby way of Athens, but by way of Bethlehem. Why be perplexed about the way sin came into the world when the great qnestion is how shall we get sin driven out of our hearts. HV>w manv sDend their time in criti ciam and relisiou3 speculation! They take the ro3e of Sharon or the lily ef the valley, pull out the anther, scatter the corolla and say, "Is that the beautiful flower oi religion that you ate talking about?" No flower is beautiiul after you have tora it all to pieces. The path to heaven is so plain that a fool need not make any mistake about it, and yet men stop anc; cavil. Suppose that, goics: toward the Pacific slope, I had resolved that I would stop until I could kill all the grizzly bears and panthers cn either side of tie way. I would never have got to the Padific coast. When I went out to hant the grizzly bear, the griszly bear would have come cut to hunt me. Here is a plain road to heaven. Men say they will not take a step on it until they can make game of all the theories that bark and growl at them from the thickets. They forget the fact that, as they go out to hunt the theory, the theory comes out to hunt them, and so they perish. We mu3t receive the kingdom of heaven in simplicity. William Pennington was oae of the wisest men of this country?a governor of his own state and afterward speaker of the house of representatives. Yet, when God called him to be a Christian, he went in and sat down among some children who were applying for church membership, and he said to his pastor, "Talk -jo me just as you do to these children, for 1 Know nothing about it." There Lj no. need, of bothering cur3elves about mysteries when there are so many things ".hat are plain. Dr. Ludlow, my professor in the theological seminary, taught me a lesson I have never forgotten. While putting a variety of questions to him that were perplexing he turned upon me, somewuat in 3ternness but more in love and said, "Mr. Talmage you will haye to let God know some tilings you don't.'7 We tear our bands on the spines of the cactus instead of feasting our eye on its tropical bloom. ^ A greEit company of people now sit swinging; themselves on the sycamore tree o? their pride, and I cry to you: "Ziccheus, come down! Come down out of your pride, ont of your inquisitiveness, out of your speculation. You cannot ride into the gate of heaven with coach and four, postilion ahead and lackey behind. 'Except ye becomc as little children, ye cannot enter the kingdom oi: God.' God ha3 chosen the weak things of the world 10 confound the mighty. Ziccheus, come down, come down!1' I notice that this tax gatherer accompanied his surrender to Christ with the restoration of property that did not belong to him. Be says, "If I have taken anything by false aciusation I restore fourfold"?that is, if I have taxed any men for $10,000 when he had only $5,000 worth of property and put it in my own pocket the tax for the last $5,000 I wil] restore to him fourfold. If I took from him $10,1 will give him $40. If I took from him $40, I will give him $160. Hundreds of thousands of dollars haye ^ atffltsflfl been sent to Washington daring the past, fdw years as "conscience money." I suppose that money was sent by men who wanted to bs Christians, bat fouad I they c^u'dnot until they made restitution. T-iere is no need of cur trying to come to Chrst a* ions as we keep fraudulently a dollar or a farthing in our poss;s?'.oa s^ai. belongs to another. Sappose ycu have not money enough to pay your debts, and for tbs Sike of defrauding ycur credifor3 ycu put your property in ycu: wife's name. You might cry uniil the dav ot judgment for pardon but you ^Ould uotget .it withcut Qrat ma?ing re3fitut:on. In tunes of prosperity it i? r;ght, against a rainy day, to asvgu property to you- wife, tut if, in time of perplexity and for the sake of defrtu-hog your creditors, you raabe fuch assignment, ycu become a culprit before G'-d, and you mavai well stop praying until you have m ide restitution. Or suppos? one man loans another money on bend or mortgage, with the understanding that the mortgage can lie quiet for sevnral years, but as soon as the mortgage is given commences foreclosure?*he sheriff mounts the auction block, and the property is struck down at halfpric?, and the mortgagee ' buys it in. The mortgagee started to 1 get ttie property at nau price ana is a i thief and a robber. Uatil he makes restitution there is no mere; for him. ( You say: "I cannot make restiiu- : tioa. The parties whom I swinged are , 1 gone." Then I says. "Take thennney up to the American Bibl* society and i consecrate itto(x>d." Ziccheus was wise when he disgorged his unrighteous ; gains, and it was his first step in the j right direction. - i The way being clear. Christ walked ( , inti the house of Ziccbeus. He becomes , a different man; his wife a different woman; the children are different. 0 i, it make3 a ^reat cQange m any hou?e when Cbrist come3 into it! How many beauti- ] ful homes are represented amoog you! ( There are pictures oo the wall, there is music in the drawing room and luxuries < iu the wardrobe, and a full supply in the j pantry. Even if you were naif asleep i there is one word with which I could ( wake you, and thrill you through and ] through, and that word is "home!" j Th&re are also houses of suffering repre- i seated in which there are neither pictures < nor wardrobe nor adornment?only one ( room, and a plain cot, or a bunk in a cor- J ner. Yet it i3 ihe place where your loved j one3 dwell, and your whole nature tin- j gles with satisfaction when you think of * it and call it home. Though the world ; may scoff at U3 and pursue us and all tbe ( day we be tossed about at eventide, we ( sail into the harbor of home. Though j xi 1? ?-*-* knon> tdSr? UD ilU ICiir IVi, UO iU bUO uuoj HViiU) and we go trudging about, bearing bur- j dens that well nigh crush us, there is a < reiuge, and it hath an easy chair in which ] we may sit, and a lounge were we may i lie, aDd a serenity of peace in which we j may repose, and that refuge is home. ] The English soldiers, sitting on the walls ' around Sevastopol, one night heard a j com cany of musicians playing "Home, , Sweet Home," and it is said that the ? whole army broke out in sobs and wail- ^ in? greart was theii homesickness. God { pity the poor, j miserable wretch who has t no home! i Now, suppose Christ should come < into your house. First the wife and the t mother would feel his presence. Religion almost alway begins there. It is easier for woman to become Christians than for us men, Taey do not fight so against God. It woman tempted man ; originally away l'rom holiness, now she fem-n'a him hao.k. Shft mav not make any fu3s about it, but some how every body in the house knows that there is a change in the wife and mother. She ] cbidesthe children more gently. Her face sometimes lights up with an un- ' earthly glow. She goes into some un occupied room for a little while, and the 1 husband goes not after her nor aBks her i why she wa3 there. He knows without I asking that she has been praving. The hnsband notices that her face i3 brighter ' than on the day when, years ago, they ] stood at the marriage altar, and he i knows that Jesus has been patting upon 1 her brow a wreath sweeter than the ! orange blossoms. She puts the children i to bed, not satisfied with the forinal < prayer that they once offered, but she ! lingers now and tells them of Jesus ? who blessed lictle children ana of the 1 good place where they all hope to be at 1 last. And then she kisses them good night with something that the child feel? 1 to be a heavenly benediction?a some- 1 thing that shall hold on to the boy after 1 I v>oo V\R<*rsm? a man 40 nr 5ft Tears < of age, for there is something in a good, Toying, Christian mother's ki3S that 50 years caanot wipe off the cheek. Now the husband is distressed and annoyed and almost vexed. If she would only .?peak to him he would "blow her up." He doe3 not like to say anything abcut it, but he knows that she has a hope that he has not and a peace that he has not. He knows that, dying as he now is, he cannot go to the same place. He cannot stand it any longer. Some Sunday night as.'they sit in church side by side the floods of his soul break forth. He wants to pray, but does not know how. He hides his face, lest some of his worldly friends see him, but God's spirit arouses him, melts him, overwhelms him. And they go home?husband and wjfa?in silence, until they get to their room, when he cries out, "Oh, pray for me!" And they kneel down. They cannot sppak. The words will not come. But God does not want on-rr rrrnyna tta innva hrtbti flnrl flnswfirft sob and groan and outgushing tender- i ness. That night they do not sleep any for talking of all the years wasted and of that Saviour who ceased not to call. Before morning they have laid their plans for a newlife. Morning comes. Father and mother descend from the bedroom. The children do not know what is the matter. They never saw father with a Bible in hia hand before. He says, "Come, children, I want you all to sit down while we read and pray." The children look at each other and are almost disposed to laugh, but they see their parents are in deep earnest. It ia a short chapter that the father nad3 Ee is a good reader at other times, but now he does not get on much. He sses so much to linger. His voice trembles. Eyerytingis so strangely new to him. They kneel?that is, the father and mother do, but t he children come down one by one. They do not know that they mu3t. It. is some time before they all get down. The sentences, are broken. JL iiC jJUIcOCO aL^ Ck HUblV? uu^LCiuiiui?vivHA? The prayer begins abruptly and ends ab i ruptly; but, as far as I can understand i what they mean, it is about this: uO i Saviour help us! We do aot know how i to pray. Teach us. We cannot live ! any longer in the way we have been li7 ing. We start today for heaven. Help U3 to take these cnildren along with us. i Forgive us lor all the past. Strengthen ' us for all the future. And when the jour j ney is over take us where Jesu3 is and i where the little babe is that we lost. ' Amen!" It ended very abruptly, but the angels came out and leaned ao far over to iisten they would have fallen off i the battlement but for a stroke of their wings, and cried: "Hark, hark!

A COWARDLY SHOOTINGN?wjbay Dangerously Shot by Some Tough. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 27.?Julius r. Henry, a Union Hews boy, whose iorae is at Seneca, was shot and danger)U3ly wounded near the TJaioa Dapot jrestsrday morning. The shooting was brutal and uncalled for and if the guilty nan is found the law ought to deaf with aim severely. About 11 o'clock in the morning an fxcursion train trom Greenwood and points between here and there arrived n the city on its way to Charleston. It vas sidetracked just E ist of the depot to iwait the arrival of the train on lha cb Carolina Roa3 before leaving the iity. There were about 200 people on ;he train, all from the small to r as this side of Greenwood. A good manv of ;hem were tough customers and liqior svas plentiful. Henry, who is about 17 years oid, and ivho wanted to earn some money for iimself, secured a basket of fruit from ;he News Company aud went into one 3f the excursion cars to sell it, not thinkng that there would be any trouble. It jeems that a man named John R. Skurry trom Chppell's, had bought the privilege to sell fruits and refreshments on the train and he was angered at the boy pelting on the car. He abu3ed Henry md stood in the doorway to prevent the boy getting out, saying that he was gong to take Henry on to Charleston, rhe train started to move. Hanry pushed through the doorway and attainted to set off the car. Skurry called to those standing aroaad to help ;hemselves to the fruit in the basket. Part of the crowd tried to get some )f the fruit and the boy grabbed at the iat of a man. Henry got off the trian ill right, although Skurrv pulled a pis;ol and tried to shoot the boy, but was prevented from doing so. Henry walked iway and was going arouid the end ol i cir when he was fired at from the platform of a car, a distance of about a car ength. The ball entered the left cheekbone, and lodged above the roof oftin nouth, between the nostrils. The foregoing is the atorv told by Eeriry and is corroborated by several witnesses to the affair. Henry was then taken to the office of Dr. A. B. Kuowiton, on Gervais street, rnd was attended to. The bullet was probed for and was located and extracted hv TV. TCnnwlton and Dr. T. B. livens. .Dr, Kaowlton says he cannot jay what will be the result of the wound is infUmmation may ensue. Policemen Bolton anet Steele arrested a young white man named T. A. Larson, who is trom Edgefield County, ilong the line of the Columbia and Greenville Road. Carson was pointed )ut by several men as the man who did the shooting. It is said that as soon as be fired the shot he ran back into the ;ar and disposed of his pi3tol. No weapon was "found on him when arrested. Larson would not talk to a reporter, but it is stated that he denies doing the jhooting. ke is a young man about 22 omar soma nf his friends staved in the ;ity with him try to procure bail. Carson was taken before Trial Justice Stack and was committed to jail, without being allowed bond, to await the result of Henry's wouads. The shooting was cowardly. The ball wentstaright Into the left cheek, 3bowing that the boy was not watching the wouldbe assassi when the shot was Sred. Several men on the train threatended to shoot Henry if they had pistol?. The boy may have been impertinent, but there is no evidence that he even attempted to defend himselt when he got off the car before he was shot. While he was getting off several men kicked him. Henry saw the man who shot him and the description he save of the person tallies with that of Carson. Henry was too badly wounded to attend the Trial Justice Court. Two or three witnesses will swear that Carson did the shooting. TT?nrw <s?v? f-.hnf. Skurrv did not do it. bat Skurry may be arrested when he come3 back through here. Since the foregoing was written Justice Stack has granted bail to Carson in the sum of $500 and it was furnished, the bond being signed by three*responsible men.?Register. i HILL AND LOCKWOOD NEW YORK'S DEMOCRATIC GUBER NATGRIAL TEAM. The NoDilQatloi: Koicd on Senator Sin. A powflifal T.'cket, Heine Combination ol the TwcGre%t State Factions. Saratoga, 2s. Y., Sept. 26.?Half an hour before noon preparations of the old rink building for the use of the Democratic convention was finished. The seats were chairs borrowed from the hotels, and a good sized platform was erected and telegraph wires run into a score of instruments. A st<? it railing enclosed a square space in the centre of tha hall, waere the delegates sat, and chairs outside of that were occupied by contesting delegates and entnusiastic Democrats who were on the scene to shout for the nominees and to applaud the orators of the occasion. A band to the right of the platform alternated with one on the left and kept the erotfdlngood humor while it waited for the proceedings to begin. The hall with its ' <ar timbers overhead and barn-like appearanee, presented quite a contrast to the new convention hall in which the Unitarians held swav. Th* facilities for work were very good however, when the haste with which the arrangements were made is considered. The ventilation was poor and delegates andshouters were requested to extinguish their cigars. Governor Hill called the convention to order at 1:50. The committee on contested seats decided in favor of all sitting delegates, except in Moaroa county, where a reorganization 13 ordered. The Shepardites of Brooklyn left the hall when the report of the committee on contested seats was r?ad. The Fairchild Democrats from New York also left the hall upon the adoption of the report excluding them from recognition. "Col. Brown, chairman of fha r>nm miff-oa nn na?mjianf Armani? a. V^LULUIUUVV^ V U pU!UI.4UVUU tion, reported in favor of continuiag the temporary ors:anlz ttion. Thi3 was adopted and Senator Hill remained chairman of the convention. Lieutenant Governor Sheenan, of Ecie. reported the platform and it was adopted. The convention then resolved to proceed with nominations. Senator Hill said: "rhi3 place looks a little more Democratic than the one we occupied yesterday. It is more like the Jeffersonian Democracy in its simplicity, and I have only to suggest that la tuis place were nominated two Democratic governors, who were elected." The chairman then recognized Gaylen R.Hitt of Albany, who, in an eloquent speech, placed in nomination for Governor, John Boyd Tbatcher of Albany. When Mr. Hitt had finished, Eidyn Reynolds of Alieghaney rose and said: "The united delegation of Alieghaney county desire3 to place in nomination their first and only choice, David B. Hill." inai was au ne naa to say. ice crowd went wiM with enthusiasm. Men stood ou their seats and waved their hata for three minutes. Senator Hill pounded with his gavel. Finally, Col. Fellows, of New York, arose and the crowd, thinking that he would say, something about Hill, subsided. Senator Hill then, asking the indulgence of Col. Fellows, said: "I am grateful to the Democrats of the Empire State for the courtesy and kindness of the past, but I must say to you I cannot be your candidate a^ain for Governor." Col. Fellows then moved that the rtrtnnt-ioa >?a olr\h!jhofi/?allc Thfq V/VUUV1W vu V^HiiVU UtyUUUUViVMUJ ? was proceeded with. Livingston and Montgomery named Hill amid cheer3. Senator Gnyrose when New York was called, and, standing on a chair, said: "Mr. Chairman, I rise to perform a duty which 1 have waited for scm3 older Democrat from this county to perform. I am about to name for Governor a man, the mention of whose name warms the heart of every true Democrat. He must be oar candidate. He is the only man with whom we are beforehand sure of winning. He is the chief Democrat in our ranks. He must ; sink his personal views and again become our standard bearer. We need his services now and we must demand that he giye them to us and consent to lead us on to victory. The situation is grave. The only thing for thi3 : convention to do is to assert that we know the meaning of the term 'I am a Democrat,' and knowing should pro- 1 ceed to nominate that prlace of leaders, who presides over our deliberations. He has told you that he cannot i accept our nominasion. Bat I tell you, gentlemen, we owe a courtesy to the Democracy of the State, which Is uiguec mail mu cuuxLtrsy wuiuu wcu*vc to him. 1 nominate the one man who typifies what Democracy typifies. X present the name of the cnief exponent of Democratic principles in oar party? 1 David B. Hill." (Cheers and wild enthusiasm.) After Senator Guy bad finished, Bourke Cockran of New York arose, and, climbing over the reporters' table to the platform, said in part: "When i the life of a nation is at stake and the laws which govern its existence fail to control its destinies the supreme will of the people is the only resort. At J 3uch time the right of revolution is invoked. Such a time has now come to us. For the first time since the senior Senator directed the affairs of the Democratic party o? thi3 State. I am in revolt against his ruling. I urge upon him his sense of duty to bis party and place his name in nomination against his own desires. "There comes a time in the history ot every man when opportunities arise which summon him to positions outside of his own desires. We are in a situation to meet, which requires the most trusted leaders of the Democratic party or we cannot go on to victory. We are confronted with a paraiysis of industries due to the operation of: Republican tariff and financial legislation. It is our duty to prove to the people that the misfortune which has overtaken the country is due to Republican misrule, and that prosperity can be restored by following our lead and placing our candidates in power. We must not take the risk of feeling, 2nd no man who has lead us as our presiding officer has lead us will allow us to go fnrfh crithnnt. thA insnirirnr influence of his leadership. (Cheers.) By all the ties that have bound him in tbe past; by his hopes of the f utnre; by his duty to his country, I demand that he lead us, and I now name him for Governor." Mr. Cochran then put tbe question to the convention: Will you make the nomination unanim dus ? Every one in the hall, delegates, spectators and all yelled "aye." Turning to Senator Hill, Mr. Cochran tben said: "Senator "Hill we summon you to your duty." Col. William L Brown also spoke, seconding the nomination of Senator Hill for New York county. Half a dozen delegates moved to susDend the roll call for nominations, but" Senator Hill quickly remarked that he had some experience with legislative bodies 4-V.a wloo foooomhlt? nn^or Cfci-LU.

In the third quarter of 1891 there were 60 land companies organlzad, again3t ouly 13 in the pastj'quarter. Daring the three months tbe new phosephate industry in the South was increased by 12 companies 7 in Florida, 2 in Tennessee, 2 in Georgia and 1 in Virginia.

Murderer Arrested. Atlanta, Sapt. 21.?Will Meyers' arrest has been accomplished, and an officer of the law is now on his way from Cincinnati, bringing the fugitive bick to the scene of the late tragedy, where Forest L. Crowley met his death in a lonely 8pot. near this city, at the hands of unknown parties, the circumstances surrouading which strongly point to the fugitive as principal in the bloody affair. The story of the arrest of Meyers is told in the following special from Cincinnati to The Constitution, received since midnight: William Meyers, charged with the murder of Forest L. Crowley, the nraaHhtr atrvlrmnn at. Atlanta, was ar rested here at 1 o'clock. The police found Meyers at the Indiana hou3e, on Fifth street, between Elm and Racs, with $25 on his person. He is held for the Atlanta authorities. Meyers had his hair dyed in Covington bafore crossing to Cincinnati. Ha admits knowing all about the murder, but further than to deny his own guilt, he refuses to talk. He has consented to go back to Atlanta without requisition papers. Cocfi'cited the Vessel.

The Japenese ships appeared in , column of divisions, the lines ahead oi' . the divisions teing disposed abeam. . Coming closer they tried to form a line , abreast.

Ap- , proacning within 4,400 yards the whole , Japanese fleet seemed to turn eight ^ points to port, thereby forming a single' j line ahead and, steaming across the > Chinese line, turned its starbord wing. . The Chinese were unable to keep j pace with the enemy and endeavored , U> ionuw uieu uiuveujt?uu? uy ^ bow on them as the Japanese ships, circled arouod, maintaining the whiie t a heavy bombardment. The Japanese fleet that kept in the thick of the fi*nt consisted of six ships of the Yaen class. Tne Japanese ship3, having completed one circle hauled off to a distance of eight hundred yards and went througb an evolution with the object t of separating into two divisions, the ? firs'; consisting of seven of their bpst I known and swifest cruisers and the j second of five inferior ships, which g stood off some distance. The battle , thus arranged itself into two groups, t four Chinese cruisers becoming en- ^ gaged with the second division, while c two ironclad3, the Chen Yuen and Ting . Yuen, attacked the first dlvison. ^ The fighting in the second divison . was irregular and difficult to follow.

Oxa- 3 sionallythe distance between the op- j posing ships was reduced to 2,000 yards, c and once to 1,200 yards. !?

Tiie quick firing guns gave r( the latter an immense advantage scat- f, tering showers of splinters, occasional- 3 ly setting the Chinese ships on fire and a riddling everything that was not protec ted by armor. is Daring the action one of ths smaller Jananese ships was seen with her pro- ? peller out of water and her bow nearly Q under. Another was seen to be on fire n enveloped in fiamss and apparently n sinking. h The Yashino and Matsushima were ^ burning fiercely, the former, after re- 5 ceiving two shots each from the Ting S] Yuen and Chen Yuen, was enveloped 1 inaclond of white scnoke, which lay ^ heavily on the water and completely g covered the ships. d The Chiaese vessels waited for the q, clouds to clear and got their port guns t ready, but before the Yoshino got visibla their fire" was diverted by a Japa- a nese vessel of the Matsushima type, a, which came ou at a distance of 2,200 yards on the port quarter. The guns w that were laid for the Josninc were p fired at trie new comer, with the result Q; that she began to return. Whether C( these three JaDanese ships received jr mortal injury is "uncertain. In the latter part of the battle the w Chinese ironclads ran short of common p shell and continued the action with K steel shot. This was effective as the sc Japanese vessels had no armor. The w two ironclads fired one hundred and w ninety-seven rounds with twelve-inch guns, and two hundred and sixty-three C( rounds with six-lncti guns. About 4 o'clock the Ting Yuen was 3t badly on fire forward, the smoke imped- w ing the working of tne fore turret. Ba- ia fore 5 o'clock the Japanese had ceased h; firing and the distance between the w fleets was raDidly increasing. C? In regard to t&e conclusions to be drawn from the battle it; may be said .the Cainese battle ships proved formi- is dable. The Chinese ironclads stood 0c tbe battering of the heavy,quick-firing ft anna admirahlv. Their UDoar struct - I AV ure were severely damaged bat not a & shot penetrated a vital part. r A bullet protection of the twelve inch tt guns was most effective, very fe w men fC being wounded within the barbettes. w The barbette turrets were as intact af- te ter the action as before. This fact, ia however, coupled with the fact that pi the six inch guns at both ends of the & ships which weie only slightly protected were also undamaged, seems to indicate that the destructive effect was due to the enormous number of project- M Ues from the quick firing, guns rather than to tDe skilled direction of the fj shots. rJ The mat oe avers of-the Japanese first e3 divisions excited great admiration. ?1 Taking advantage of their speed and tc the long range of their guns, they always kept at the distance that suited e them, maintaining perfect order throughout the fight, attempting noth- ai ing sensational and never coming & within destructive range of the heavi- . jj est guns. ^ lj An Important Decision, g Judge Townsend made a most impor- b tant order Thursday at Florence, or.e tl will havfl a most decided effect ^ - x upon the public scnool system of South C] Carolina. Briefly stated the case is as f< follows: The School Commissioner of n Florence County refused to tarn over ? to the trustees of the Florence Graded a; School any portion of th8 constitution- ir al two mills tax collected in Florence tl County. The trustees brought suit to a have him compelled to turn over to a them a certain portion' of the money st collected in Florence County under the oi two mills school tax, such as they had el received In previous years. The defense p] not nn hv thfl Sf?hnnl nnmmissioner for n; not giving any money to the aforesaid d< trustees was that the graded school t made charge for tuition and was' not ca therefore a free school, and was not en- ie titled to any portion of the constitu- p tional two mills tax, which is levied for oi the free public schools. The trustees h; attempted to refute the allegation that w they charged for tuition in the graded fc school. J udge Townsend held that it tc did not matter whether they did or did cc not charge, for their charter gave them m the right to charge for tuition and tt therefore their school was not a free B public school in law, and wasnotenti- sc tied to any of the proceeds of the school tt tax. In commenting on Judge Town* ai send's order the Columbia Register very si iruiy says it is a very miereauiJK cuuu- bi. ciation of a legal principle and It will pi have a farre3ching effect as many of m the graded schools of the State, make charge for tuition or are authorized by their charters to make such charge, and tey receive part of the two mills tax tt collected in their counties. It is likely K that an appeal from J udge Townsend's ct decision will be taken to the Supreme w Court; if that tribunal sustains his de- pi cisioa, quite a aumoer 01 graaeu uu schools will have to mak8 their tuitioa in free of charge or else do without any to share of the two mills tax. tt ^ " i II?IIIIIIM II ! !?
