Judge Memminger holds that this is a property tax and not a franchise of privilege tax and that it is in violation of the constitution of the United States and of this State. In this conuty the total premiums collected and returned for taxes ac cording to the books of the county treasurer amounted to $124,701. The total tax charged against these pre miums amounts to $1745.83, divided as follows: 5 1-2 mills State.........$ 685.85 3 mills constitution school.. 374.10 3 mills ordinary county .... 374.10 2 mills railroad .. ...... 249.40 1-2 mill special court house . 62.35 Total .......... ....$1,745.81 In a good number of these cases the taxes have already been paid. Of course the case will be taken to the supreme court, and until finally de termined by that court the matter will probably stand just as it is. At Newberry College.

A MINIMUM OF DANGER. tughter of Mr. E. S. Blease Taking Pasteur Treatment-No Serious Trouble Apprehended. Mr. E. S. Blease re turned yesterday an Atlanta, whert ne carried his tle dau-hter. Miss Saluda Belle, tu .ce her in the Pastur inst't-ute for atment. It will be recalled that e little girl was bit by a mad dog me time ago, and that when the g's head was sent on for examina mn no trace of rabies was fou-d, but 'er a rabbit which had been inocu :ed developed rabies, and Mr. Bleas-B! mediately left for Atlana with his ughter. Mr. Blease said yesterday that the iteur institute people did not be ve there was any danger of the lit girl being affected by the bite. but was deemed best, in order that ev y precaution might be taken, that e should be given the treatment. ie Pasteur authorities said that the g was in all probability in the first ages of rabies, and for that reason e examination of the brain had not sclosed it. This fact, coupled with e fact that the little girl is in the st of health and the further fact at the bite was through the stock g, places the danger, they say, at e minimum. with the chances. ac rding to the superintendent, near a thousand to one in her favor. The treatment will take twenty-two ys. r. G. W. Williams of Chapin Pass es Away.
