Next week is the last ehance to make payment of taxes for tbo serr 1901. I here has been the accustomed delay, aad the city and the county treasurers will be rushed n?xt week. It is very probable that the legislature will refuse to extend the time for paying taxes, as is sometimes done. Indeed it has become the custom to extend this time, but in doinir so last January 'he legislature declared emphatically that it weuld sit down on fui titer attempts, hoeause when the fiscal year closes the county and State officials books should bo closed and thus put an end to the confasion incident to this perennial extension of time within which the tax money may be paid However as the agricultural interests of the State have suffered very much this year, it is probable that an effort will be made to get tho legislature to do as has been done before. Some of the county treasurers maintain that the farmers are not aided a whit by extending the time, for they can pay as well before the eloso of the year as afterwards. In some counties the farmers ara the first to pay their taxes. v The Smith Schetpe in Abbeville. Some one has sent to tbie office a marked copy ef The State, containing the card of l?r. J. E. Smith, tho Monticello, Fla., editor, who has had son* agents in Abbeville doing husinese for him. As we understand, four clubs of 25 each, were made up for hint in Abbeville. Mi*s Lou Va*s, a mest excel 1601 young lady of this city^ said yesterday that she made up a club fur Mr. Smith's paper in August. About the fourth of September, she Kent him $25 and 25 names of subscribers for his paper, and undertook then to enter upon the v proffered agency at $20 a month. She wrete letters during the month of September te the number of 105. She says that she has repeatedly made effort to get the promised premium, she being allowed choice between a watch and a bicycle, chose to take the watch, which she had net received at noon yesterday. She further says that for the month's work during September, in seeding letters or writing for Mr. Smith she haa received not eae cont. Mr. Georgo Whito says that ho sont a club of 25 subscribora and $25. He received his premium. He worked some; hut afterward ?piit.

The following from tha Anguata | lriMune: Every old bide?bengd moaa| back paper in tha South ia oat wi*h aaqnare he?d article announcing in biggest head letters that "McLaurin ia now in the Republican camp." Such .detestable methods and anch willing co-operatien of partisan journals lending themselves to proclaiming jrhal they kaow to be an nntruth simi ply .to assist the boss of a political stA'S machine in his fight auainsl a rival who was rebelled against his donrination, are cnougkf tc mske all fair men lo look witl contempt upon the party and th< poor things who jrear a part} collar. What can be expected of i party whoa* leaders resort to and methods, and whose organs art so readj to depart from the truth to do their share in pulling dowr an official whose only crime hai been that he refused to yiols obedience to the party boas of hii state. Senator MeLaurin was electee from a Democaatic state. Though no parly question was raised ir his candidacy, he avowed hirasell a Democrat and was resognized as a Democrat hy that party si well as the apposition. Since hii election an i?sue has been raited between him and Senator Tillman. The latter feari MeLaurin, because his ascendancy will msac Tillman's .defeat. Nothing ii surer than that MeLaurin, If Tillman fails to down him, will become so strong that Tillman'c supremacy in South Carolina will cease. Nobody knows this better thaa Tillman himself, and he ia leaving no steue unturned to secure McLaurin's defeat. But MeLaurin is not so easily downed. He is an able man, and he represents the progressive element in tho South which is beginning te assert itself. More and more does it appear that what is sence for the gooae is also sauce forth* gander, and what has made the North rich and prosperous will 4* the same thing for the South As the exponent of this progressiveness McLaurin is gaining strength, and war* he allowed to meet Tillman on equal terms it is vary possible, if not probable, that the political boas of Bouth Carolina would be retired. This Tillman recgnizes and hence will not trust his chances to a fair fight. Partj prejudices is to be aroused to turn the people against Mc> Laurin. Onlj those who live in the South know what a terrible thing this is here. The truest, best man in the w'orld, known and recognized as sueh without*ques tion, could not be elected to even the smallest office in the Southern state whara ballot boxes can contain a Republican majority only aa a siera holds water. Henea if Tillman can only auceead in branding McLaurin aa a Republican hia fight is won. This has been his effort since he became fully aware of McLanrin's strength.
