>The correspondent-of the News and
Courier thinks it would be "imagnan- I
imous on the part of some legislator to
introduce a bill to abolish the metro
In,
politan police system." We can not I
see wherein comes the magnaninity
to abolish a system which has give b
the city the best police protection it
has ever had, and besides the people
of Charleston have not asked any
body to take away the police; the hue a
and cry has com'e from the liquor ae
elemnent and the politicians, who are
le
' ofspingof that element. Let
th i .y owners have a voice, it
is that cass wh.o can appreciate police b~
p rotection, and-it is that- class who i
will stand by ,the present system. I
Charleston is too large a city to have
it policed by aldermanic influence,
because that influence is often under
another influence which is against sc
st
the city's moral interests. A ugusta
has been under a metropolitan sys
tem for years and it works so wellt
that it has, become a fixed institution, I
and the system in Charleston will be l
the same way as soon as the rumn
sellers, faro dealers, and politicians
are made to understand that the- -law.
abiding, property-owning citizens
- have a stronger voice in the affair of l
pm
1the public. t
If the system is so obnoxious to H
the good citizens that it would be a
*"mnagnanimous" act for some memn
ber to introduce a bill for its abolish- a
mnent, why is it that the good citizens
of Charleston do not petition the
em
iegislature for the desired relief. The
The law is on the statute books and
it should remain there even if the
-commissioners ard convinced that it
is best take it off, because there is no tI
telling what emergency may arise in u
a shoit time after the legislature \
adjourns. If the law is iepealed, the 1:
-governor would have nothing to aid in
him to enforce the law and his ad- u
ministration as far as the dispensary b
maw is concerned wvould be a farce. it
The clamor kicked up by a certain b
class against the metropclitan police d
is entirelv inconsistant with the pro- h
fessions of confidence in Governor h
Ellerbe. If they are sincere in be- ft
lieving that our new governcr will
make a wise and just Executive. then ir
they ought to show their faith by 'f
their works and let him alone; how- it
ever, they do not do this, they pat tt
him on the back and caress him, with a
a constant plea to take away the d.
police acd if he does everything else t
to restore an era of good feeling in Ia
this State, and fails to take oft the tl
metropolitan police, that patting will i
turn to \vlings and the caress'ng t'n.

LET OUR DISTRICTS ALONE. ie
Hon. H. Cowper Patton, of Colum- e
bia, a meclubor of the Leg'slature. has r
a scheme to put befote the General th
Assembly whereby th~e Congressional to
districts are to be changed. We do mu
not know how it will affect the sixth at
district, but upon general principles um
we are opposed to the tinkering with in:
the present arrangement. The Gen- w
.eral Assembly has enough to do -w:
without spenlding the time in fixing m
Congressional districts to b ent sh
some aspiring politicians. The peo- th
ple have not demanded any such leg th
siation and they really do not care in,
sentation in Congress will be from
ir own ranks, then why not let well
iougih alone.
There are many things for the pub. s
good the Legislature can do. The t
ee school system needs the attention IL
the best brain of that body, and t
our law-makers will spend less t
me in making fences for their po
ical future, and more time in doing I
mething that the taxpayers can t
el a benefit from, there will not be
much unrest all over the State. '
There should be some means de- T
sed to lessen taxes. We believe it 0
mu be done by cutting down all un- e
acessary expense, and by running r
ie affairs of the government on bus- N
tess principles.
It costs a pile of money every day
ie Legislature is in session and we
ow that a great deal of time is
asted in the consideration of just
ich seLemes as the "Patton redis
-icting idea." Give the people such
!islation as the business conditions
emand and then stop. There is
lenty of law now in fact, more than
properly enforced, the statutes are
)nstantly being added to and
banged, even the lawyers eannot
eep up, hence the tangled condition
f things when there is a case in
>urt. Redistricting bills, concealed
eapon license bills, and all other
ills that are not a necessity should
e shelved and the entire tim
ted to makin e ter schools,
s and bridges, and a bet
r showing generallv for the taxes
iat are paid.
WE BEG TO DIFFER
'The Piedmont Headlight, edited t
y Col. T. Larry Gantt, has within

We read that otherStates have seen

ay is it that at this time when the

FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.
The United States supreme court
Lst Monday filed a decision which
istains and confirms Judge Simon
>n in his interstate-commerce ruling.
nder the decision it is unconstitu
onal for the State to seize liquor
iat is shipped in from other States
>r the personal use of the consignee.
'be dispensary law itself was not
>uched by the court, and the only
uestion before the supreme court
,as whether the State could interfer
-ith shipments from other States.
'his decision does not effect the law
eriously, true, it gives people the
ight to order the stuff from else
-here, but for the past year they
ave been doing this, under Judge
;imonton's decision and the dispen
ary was operated more successfully
ban before the decision was render
d. The fact that a man has a right
o order liquor for his personal use
toes not give him the right to order
o frequently as to put him under
uspicion, because under Simonton's
uling if the liquor shipped from out
ide the State is not for personal use,
t can be seized as contraband. When
he case was appealed we had hope
he whole question would be settled,
)ut as the matter stands now, only a
ittle piece of the dog's tail has been
:hopped off, and the contention will
:ontinue un"i t.he hig-c c.urt in

he State has the right to control the
iquor traffic to the extent of engag
og in its sale; not until then, will the
)eople have a rest on this much vexed
tuestion, and we believe that the
awyers should arrange a test case
with the attorney general and have
he question settled one way or an
ther for all time.
TELL YOUR TROUBLES TO

Col. Henry Ragin Thomas, of the
ailroad commission, has sprinkled
alt upon the official beds of his col
agues, and in his minority report
e uses some heavy strictures against
be chairmau and clerk. Col. Thom
s unravelled his tale of woe to the
ublic in the newspapers, and his
nal bow he mages to -tbe General
,ssembly in the shape of a minority
eport, and a request that the com
ission be required to pay for the
rinting. While all of this is going
n, the friends of Evans, Wilborn and
)uncan are quietly smiling and whet
Eng their knives upon their shoe
)les for Thomas's scalp.
The worst day's work any man in
olitics can engage in, is the airing of
is political troubles in the newspa
ers and Mr. Thomas has been ex
edingly unfortunate in this respect.
tmatters not whether he is right

ddress of the new governor is brief
'hen compared with that of his pre

'holesome thought; conservative in'

san feeling, it is bound to commend
self to the entire Democracy of the

Y TANKEEDOM'S BLACK
DRAUGHT.
The Massachusetts republicans ar
rery much chagrined over the elec
ion of Isaac B. Allen, the negr

arge offers of money have been mad,

lolds the fort. In an interview Al
en explained the first shock to hi

"A few days after I was elected I met oi

s no need for your worrying any mor

vill resign or get out as councillor."
'Never,' said I, I' am in this to stay. I
is a race matter with me. You have no
got money enough to buy me out."
Next two men came to my house an,
tendered me a check for $10,000 if I woul,
go to Europe for a year, 'for my health,' a
he expressed it. They said that the mone
was contributed by prominet Republican.

it $20.000 if I desi.ed. I thereupon ordere
them to leave the house, and could wit!

them out bodily.

Allen has got a hold on the as

realizes it. He knows full well tha
he will never again occupy a big]
political position and as the place h
now holds is second in importance t

with what he has without regard t

If such an accident happened in th
South, those Massachusetts "humar

Taxpayers return what they own
on the first day of January, 1897.
All personal property, must be re
turned this year.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer
in full, also make a separate return
I for each party for the township the
property is in, and where the tax
payers owns realty, to insert the
post office as their place of residence,
and those who only own personal
property, to give the party's name
who owns the land they. live on as
their residence, which aids the tax
payer as well as the county treasurer
in making the collections and pre
venting errors.
Every male citizen between the
ages of twenty-one and sixty years
on the first day of January, 1897, ex
cept those incapable of earninig a:
support from being maimed, or :'rom
other causes, shall be deemed tax
able polls. This does not apply to
Confederate soldiers over fifty yeirs
af age.
All the returnsthat are made after
the twventieth day of February will
have a penalty of 50 per cent, added
thereto, unless out of the county
during the time of listing. Not
knowing the time of listing is no ex
case.
The assessing and collecting of
taxes is all done now in the same
year, and we have to aggregate the
number and value of all the horses,
cattle, mules, &c., and their value
that there is in the county, and have
same on file in the Comptroller Gen
eral's office by the thirtieth~ day of
June each year. And from that
time to, the first day of October each
year the auditor's and treasurer's
dluplicate has to be completed and
an abstract of the work in the Comp
troller's office by that time, which
will show at a glance that the audi
tor has no time to- take in returns
or do anything else much, between
the first day of March and the first
day of October each year, but work
on the books and blanks. Therefore
I hope that all taxpayers will do me
the favor of making their returns in
time.

Auditor Clarendon County.
