Peoplo who keep up with snob things roport that all over tho State thoro is much slowness shown by taxpayers in settling np their taxes, and ft is said that a great many of thom are holding back in the expectation that tho usual extension will bo made. It is somowhat early to be talking about such a comae, but as it has become as regular as tho time comos, it is, perhaps, nathral for taxpayers to expect a continnance of tho custom. It is sometimes the caso that Auditors and Treasurers ask for suoh extensions, often not because of the ina bility of the peoplo to pay, but because it staves off a|lot of work on their part at a very busy timo, the first two months of the year. All those porsons who are holding back for an extension are des tined to bo disappointed so far as tho Govornor and Comptroller General aro concorned. They aro unalterably op posed to extension and thoy aro most positivo in their objections to suoh a plan. Tho people of the State are botter ablo now to pay taxos than they will be later on, and their financial condition is no worse now than lt has been in former years. It would most seriously embar rass the State government for any delay in tho collecting of taxes to occur, and there will be no extension unless the Legislature provides for one.-A.

Mrs. Mary Aun Mulkey, aged about 70 years, died Novomber Otb, 1002, at the homo of her son. John H. Pierce, in Walhalla. Jhe was born and roared in the State of Georgia. She came to South Carolina, and at the ago of 10 and was married to l st hum Pierce. She was the mother of Ave children, four of whom survive to mourn her loss.

The celebration of Bible Day by tho | young people of New Bothol ohuroh, near Oak way, S. C., on last Sunday was a delightful occasion. At an early hour tho people began to como from tho lowor {?ortion of the couuty. By ll o'clock a argo congregation had assembled. The ohuroh would not seat half tho crowd. Promptly at tho appointed hour tho choir bogan tho services with singing. It is seldom that a moro intelligent con gregation will bo soon.

A collection was raised for oroign missions amounting to $17.35. Bethel church manifests a healthy growth. This is not surprising when it is considered with what zeal her young pooplo work. --4 ? ? What is a Monologue Play? Many pooplo ask this (juostion in con nection with Edwin L. Barkor. who is to I ?ive "A Poacoful Valley," in Walhalla) 'riday night, November 21st, 1002. Tho Monologue Play and tho ouo who j gives it form a medium botweou tho J author and the theatre. It is tho pre sentation of tho works of standard au thors, or the groat stage successes, in the form of monologues, ovory detail of | action and dramatic effect being brought out in such a way as to make tho story complote, almost as much as if ono bad read it or had seen it present cd on the Stage by a full compauy. Tho story is arranged in dialogue form, and tho dif ferent characters aro impersonated and made distinct through a chango in facial expression, voico, posture and manner isms, each man or woman in tho play having his own individuality, and that I individuality being preserved through- ] out tho story. Tho Monologue Play preserves and encourages the best in literature, while I tho art of presenting it occupies tho highest placo in expression. In this busy work a day world, some people have not tho timo to road the works of their favorite authors. Many do not approvo of going to tho theatre, others have not tho opportunity. Tho I Monologue Play stops in hero, and brings to tho platform tho best from novel and | stage. The School Improvement Work.
