The State treasurer not only apologized through the public prints, but wrote Mr. Mims the following personal letter also: Jan. 12, 1911. Mr. Jas. T. Mims, County Treas urer, Edgefield, S. C. My Dear Sir: After the statement made by you this morning over the 'phone, we are due you an apology, and regrtt exceedingly that we havs unintentionally done you an injus tice. If you had only stated that your last remittance was in excess of the amount due, your County would not have appeared in our let ter to the Comptroller General, but on the contrary, it would have been our pleasure to have given you pub lic credit for your assistance to this Department in taking care of the State's interests. Haying received .your check previous to the heavy tax paying period we naturally sup posed that you must have had some State funds on hand January 1st, and up to the 10th we had not had a remittance. We beg to again thank you for your help,.and express our regrets that your County appeared in the letter. Acoept our apology please, and continue to help us when you can. ? Very truly yours, R. H.

Avia tors are learning at what a cost of human life the conquest of the air must be won. In a bingle year, over thirty lives have been sacrific ed, some through ambitious demon stration, others in consequence of imperfect mechanism, but aU as a part of the price man has to pay in every struggle with th? elemental forces of nature before he is victor. [ In every struggle for progress, life is cast into the balance. It is an inflexible law that nothing is to be accomplished' that will W of value to the world except through sacri fice. In exploration, iii mechanics, medicine, surgery, explosives, sub marines, bridge-building? tunneling, and in many other lines along which man's ingenuity and-inventiveness have led him to experiment, the path is marked by sacrifice. Pri vation, peril, death are all part of the price the race must p?y for its progress. Johnstone, Mbisaut, Hox sey and the long list of those bird men who have become victims of the aeroplane, were worthy pio neers, who showed us the way. Thousands of others are ready to take their places. ?yery failure will be a stepping stone'to success,; and the day will come when a jour ney through the air in a perfect machine, under constant control, will be as safe as traveling by rail or steamer. It is a great battle and hazardous, but man will finally tri umph, as he has done in innumera ble other lines of human achieve ment.-Christian Herald. Notice of Final Settlement and Discharge.
