We Told You So.
The Supervisor of Richland Makes
His Estimate for 1903.
The newly elected county board of
commissioners met at noon yesterday,
cays the Columbia Stale, of January
6th, present Supervisor Owens, Commissioners
Daugiag, Haakell, Caughman
and Touch berry. * * *
The following report submitted by
the Supervisor was received as inInrmth'nn*
Gentlemen: Oa account cf tte
fact that the time for the payment of
taxes expired only a few days ago,
and that a large number of checks
have been received through the nails,
for which receipts have not yet been
iaeaed the County Treasurer will not
"beready to report the amount of bis
collections until your next regular
-meeting: consequently I cannot today
give yon an exact statement of the
ftoascial condition of the county.
Ail of. the claim8 for 1902 that have
been audited end proven by your predeeesaore,
and ell of these have befn
or warrants made oat for their
payment
Our assets for the year 1903, from
eneoUeoted t ?xes of 1902; dispensary
profits, estimated on the basis of 1902;
eotteetiona from that source; taxes of
1903, on the b ?sie of the assessment
end levy of 190?; road taxes, fines licenses,
etc., es*'mated on the same
- basis, will be sufficient to pay off all
ot our standing indebtedness, and
the running expenses of 1903; provided
the latter do not exceed the estimates.
Yon are, of course, aware
: of the fact that all estimates for fu *
fere expenses can only be appropriately
correct To illustrate, we cannot
tell in .advance what this year's
sourt expenses will be. They may
to more. They may be less than
last year's; and so on throughout the
other departments of the connty gov
enuneot >
ESTIMATES FOR 1903.
Oar estimates for the running expenses
for 1903 are as follows:
County Auditor $600 00
Gennty Treasurer.. 600 00
Soperrisor, County Comctisjuoners
eud^Serk.. 2 600 Q0
-CSounty Vdeqaalizatiori.. '300 00
Saperintendent of Education
and school board.. 1,300 00
Jurors and witnesses.... 4,500 00
Clerk of Court,., ... 1,200 00
Sheriff ;%i....$.600' 00
Magistrate* ^onetables.. 3,500 00
Coroner 400 00
Poorbouse 3,000 00
Roads, bridges and chain ,
pang........... .. 20 000 00
Poblic buildings 3,000 00
Books, stationery and
printing 600 00
Contingent expenses.... 3,500 00
Total. $49,900 00
With the assistance of the Clerk
of the Board I have gone carefully
over the estimates for 1903 to
see if there could be any cut that
would enable us to ask for a smaller
levy than mills for county purposes,
and it is my decided conviction
that the only reduction that can
be made in this year's taxes is the
-reduction of J mill in the special levy
for payment of interest and retirement
of bonds issued by Columbia township
id Did ox toe construction of tee Columbis,
Newberry end Laurens railroad.
A large proportion of these
bonds hare now been retired, making
the annual interest less; and tbe outstanding
bonds have some years to
mature, and the levy for this purpose
can, I think, be reduced by | mill.
THE CHAIN GANG
The above estimate of the running
expenses of 1903 embraces $20,000
for the maintenance of tbe chain
gang and repiir of the roads and
bridges. Considering the fact that
there is still a large teirifory to be
worked by the chain gang6, and there
are a number of new roads that have
been chartered by your predecessors
that have not yet been opened to the
public it will be impossible to meet
the public expectation in regard to
road work with a smaller sum than
the estimate calls for and it will take
-close calculation to meke that sum
suffice.
The remainder of the estimate is fcr
salaries atd fees fixed by law, court
expense?, repairs and other expenses
of pnblio boi'dings, maintenance of
poor, lights, fuel insurance, frieghte,
advertising, printing, stationery and
other miscellaneous expenses. As to
the first two named items, this board
has no power to reduce tbem. It
has simply to provide means for their
payment. As to the public buildings
the sum estimated will all be
required for it will be necessary . to
make sanitary improvements at the
court bouse and jtii in order to con
nect with the sewerage system of the
city, and some other repairs and
refurnishings are absolutely necessary.

Seafness Cannot be Cured
By heal applications, as they canDot
reach the deceased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. DeafnesB is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
i t t # ?
bearing, ana wnen it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destoyed
forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) thst can not be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure.. Send for circulars,

Dislocated Her Shoulder.
Mrs. Johanna Soderhoim, of FerguB
Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and pained her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had eeen Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him tpbuy her a bottle
of it, which he did. It quickly re- |
lieved her and enabled her to sleep i
which she bad not done for several
days. The son was so much pleased
with the relief it gave his mother that j
he has since recommended it to many !
others. For sale by Ko.ufmann Drug ;

Southern Cold Wave.
Louisville, Jan. 8.?The blizzard
conditions which prevailed yesterday
and last night in Kentucky and
Tennessee are in evidence today with
diminished force, in Tennessee, Georgia
and North Carolina, and along
the Atlantic coast. Snow is general
east of the Mississippi river. The
freezing temperatures extended into
the southern half of the cotton belt.
Snow fell all night in the mountains
of Tennessee and Western North
Carolina. Train service through the

A Scientific Discovery.
Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself,
even when but slightly disordered or
over-loaded. Kodol supplies the
natural juices of digestion and does
the work of the stomach, relaxing
the Devous tension, while the inflamed
muscles of that organ are allowed
to reRt and heal. Kodol digests
what you eat and enables the stomach
and digestive organs to transform
all food into rich, red blood.

Our Negro Question.
London, Jan. 9?The action of
President Roosevelt in relation to
the political rights of negroes in the
South is attracting attention in England.
The sentiment is clearly in
favor of President Roosevelt, but the
Globe, which often makes unfriendly
criticisms of the United States, says
the American people are far more
competent to judge of the qualifiea
tions of the negro than nations
whose populations are free of his
presence. It is safe to assert, the
Globe declares, that no civilized
country in Europe would welcome
African immigration on a large scale.
Croup.
The peculiar cough which indicates
croup, is usually well known to the
mothers of croupy children. No time
should be lost in the treatment of it,
and for this purpose no medicine has
received more universal annroval than
I A.
Chamberlain's Cough Keinedy. Do
not waste valuable time in experimenting
with untried remedies, no matter
how highly they may be recommend- j
ed, but give this medicine as directed |
and all symptoms of croup will
| quickly disappear. For eale by Kaufmacn

Ab, yes, that is a nice thing, but
when your husband meanders off and

the cow, till your shoes are the color

across twenty acres of plowed ground
to drive the hogs out of the cornfield
and tear your dress on the barbed

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
! civilised world. Your mothers' and
grandmothers'never thought of usiDg
anything else for Iodigestion or Bili
ousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of'Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermentation
of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only
need a few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
I matter with you. You can get this
reliable remedy at Kaufmann's Drug
Store.

Because we overeat of them. Indigestion

good digestant like Kodol will rolive you
at once. Your stomach is simply too
weak to digest what you eat. That's all
indigestion is. Kodol digests the food
without the stomach's aid. Thus the
stomach rests while the body is strengthened
by wholesome food. Dieting is unnecessary.
