B 1 < CNGHT. ASH. LETTER FROM SENATOR EARLE. Columbia, February 0.-This f.url oue other week v. id maik the cluse f the Oeneral Assembly fur 1000. There has been a groat deal of work done th itt ses sion, but not m m v of the proposed lawB I havo receivud tin- fluiuhiug touches that aro necessary before they become law. Tho greater part of the laws will boas heretofore-local in their application; but tbore are oome which are geueral and far-reaching. The most perplexing problem baa been for many years the question of tax a lion. Tho i nt qualities of the assessed values are startling. Every one almost bas a [ remedy, but the views are so divergent! that it ?B very uncertain as to what will be the compromise. Something should be done to equalize the burden of taxa tion. It ls not higher taxes, bul equal ized assessments that the people want. The pnoplo want to do what is right; they want to pay their just proportion and tiny want to catch the tux-dodgers. Anyone has but to look at the records to see the glaring injustice that uow exists in our own county. The evil ruus through the State; for mst anec, ?the average value of buildings in Auderson oouoty is $40; in Oconee, $127; of horses, Audei-Bun, $42; Oconee, $43; of oattle, Auderson, $0; Oconee, $10; of mules, Anderson. $47; Oconeo, $45. In Hampton county the average value of mulos is Sin1.?. Now, would any one think for a n imito thal any county in the State has bitter mules than Anderson? The assessing boards have the power to correct most of these inequalities now, but we see them ruu ning in the same old channel. The taxa ble property in Oconeo county last year | was a little over t bree and a half milli- u dollars and it is expected that it will be ii creased about ono million this year. Our county authorities asked for a levy for county purposes of 8 mills and tho delegation in the General Assembly havo decided to make the levy 0 mills. The levy asked for Anderson county is only 4 mills. In some of the counties the levy is oven loss. Pickons county is asking for a levy of l?i mills. Tho heavy ex penses incurretf in building roads and bridges in the mountainous counties is the principal reason for tho higher tax rate. Several sections of our county aro now clamoring for better bridaos and new bridges. Wo find that there are many people in the State who do not know that tho Stato has a reformatory at prosont for juvenile offenders. This reformatory is located on tho State's farm, sovou milos from the penitentiary; is a neat and home-like institution, whore tho boys havo tho advantages of school, Sunday school and training in the industrial oc cupations. In short, this institution, wbiofHwas established almost seven years ago, posteases most of the features ot a Lindern ref01 ma t ? n y . but it is not ill ac cord with tho iden of the women's clubs of tho Stato nod lt demanded that a sopa rato reformatory bo established for white boys. I am still afllictcd with carbunclos that I havo found very painful and inconven ient for tho past throe months. Tho investigation * into tho financial affairs of Greenvillo.aud Richland coun ties last year seoms to havo sot the peo ple wild bu investigations. Thoro are bills to investigate tho financia] affairs of a great many of thc counties. This work is supposed to be duty of the grand jury in ench county, but they must havo been moro concerned in whitewashing, friends than in duing their duty. If the grand juries do their duty there would be no iipportunity for graft or corruption. Respectfully, J. R. Earle. Common Colds sre the Gauss of Many Serious Diseases.

"Well," he .ontinucd, "they aro mighty good people down there in South Carolina, and mighty generous." Uncle Joe now boasts of a suit of South Carolina jeans, whioh he wears, a pair of knit galluses, and from South Carolina, which he keeps in a glass caso, a pair of iioine.-made .South Carolin I socks, to pre rent him from ge?tin, 'cold foot," and now a broad brim made South Carolina wool hat.

Seneca, February 5.-There will be ll o'clock Hci vices at the Baptist and Pres byterian churches next Sabbat lu and at the evening hour union services will be held in the Baptist churoh, when the new pastor, Rev. s. C. Blaokburn, will be welcomed by talks from the resident pas tors in behalf of our people. At tho morning hour communion services will be held at the Presbyterian churoh. There will be services at the Presbyte rian churoh on Thursday and Friday evenings at 7.46 o'clock preparatory to the communion on Sabbath. At the mooting of the Ladies' Aid and Missionary Society of the Presbyterian ohurcb, on Monday afternoon,' it was de cided to have an oyster supper for the benefit of the society on the ovening of the 14th instant. Desserts will also bo i served. As this is the first thing of this kind given in Seneca this season, it will I doubtless receive a liberal patronage from the public. It haa beon suggested by some ,of our business men t hat an organization, known as a oivio league, be effected in Seneca. While tho idea originated with some of our leading business men, it is proposed to make it a woman's concern, in which the good women of Sonoca are to be actively engaged. They, of oom se, will receive the hearty support aud co-opera tion Of tho business men, but are to take I a prominent interest in any measure that tends toward the improvement of the town. It ia desired to call a mass meet ing of tho women of Seneca, at which a free and full discussion of tho subject will be hold, and a measure that so vi tally concerns evory citizen of tho town, regardless of condition or circumstance, cannot fail to attract the attention of ovory public-spirited citizen of tho place, man, woman and child. A town JIB thor oughly alive to public interests gcnorally as oura is, should certainly koop paco with other towns all over tho country which aro making atildes nlong tho lines above mentioned. Certainly nothing is more attractive to prospective cit i/.ens or to a genoral public than nu ordorly, olean, healthy town. Lot our pooplo Consider t hese tilings, and bo ready to givo intel ligent expression of their views at the mooting which ia set for Friday after noon, February 10, at tho Palmetto House. Wo would liko to jog tho memory of our town council about tho woll that thoy promised us at tho comotery. We call the at teni nm of ail inlei ested public to tho meoting which Miss Maryo B. Sholor has called for March 8d nt the court bouse. The meeting is oalled at tho re quest of the president of the South Carolina Association for tho Improve-1 mont of Rural Sohools, Miss Nance. The objeot of tho mooting is to show a co operative spirit toward the State associa tion in bettering tho country schools. Tho meeting should in tores ta largo num ber of our citizens, atld Will doubtless provo au ontluibiastio oulQ^ Our show-going public, will boar in mind the dates for the Fayssoux Hypno tist Company, the 12tli and 18th. The company has been in Oroenvillo and other large towns fot long engagements, and comes to our town with strong testi monials of mei it, As this is the Drat op portunity our oitizons have had to see a ' high-grade hypnotio show, there will doubtless bo a full house. Popular prices will prevail.

We LATO always board that a thing 1? worth what it brines. How OIBO is its worth to be estimated? At a meeting of the committee ap pointed to arrauge the program of tho next meeting of the Library Asaooiation it was deoidod to disent?a, in the form of debato, Thomas Dixon's "The (Mans mau." A number of our cit ?zeus will be requcBted to speak, aird the meeting ?l'omises to be cue of tho best yet held, 'he merita or demerito of the book will be discussed in full ami there will be a lively interest show n in the discussions. A full program will be given in our next letter, aa the committee has it now under full headway and an ?Hort in being made to have some of the fluent talent, in the place to participate iu the discussions. We don't know wheo anything of pub lie, interest baa so pleased the writer aa that wbioh is now being agitated by sumo of our citizens, viz: civic improvement. An up-to-date town like Seneca ia sup posed to be in the front in everything that tends to the upbuilding of the placo. Leaving out the usual village improve ment features, snub as beautifying homes, streets, parks, oto., the one fea ture that should appeal most touderly to all is the improvement of our ''city of the dead." Surely every citizen of the town will loud his or her encouragement and support to a measure that so vitally interests UH all. A number of friends were interested in the recout visit of J. Ii. Holmes aud his ar.tractive bride to our town. Thoy spout last .Saturday and Sunday with Mrs. O. W. Gignilliat and were the recipients of many expressions of hearty good wisher; from Mr. Holmes'* friends here.
