It begins to look as if the fi nancial deficit for Clarendon county at the end of the year 1907 will bring about a compul sory raise in the tax levy. When the legislature convened the con ditions in the office of the coun ty commissioners were such that only an inaccurate statement of the finances could be obtained for the information of the dele gation. A statement was furnished but it was incomplete, because of the fact, that there were outstauding claims of which there was no record in the office. -On last Thursday Col. W. A. Neal of Atlanta, representing The Good Roads Machinery Co., came here with notes of the county amounting to 8,3,235 and these notes are past due and drawing interest. The notes will have to be paid sooner or later, and the sooner paid the quicker will the interest stop. The debt was not contracted by the present board, and the people must not hold "them responsible for the transaction, but the money must be paid all the same, and there is no provision made for the payment this year. To pay this debt ~will necessitate an addi tional levy of one mill; there is no way to avoid it so far as we can see. If at the next session of the legislature no provision is made to pay this past indebted ness, the parties holding the notes will put them in judgment thereby adding costs and attor ney's fees to an already burden some debt, and by* certain court proceedings force a tax levy to liquidate the debt. The present legislative delegation is opposed to making the tax burden heavi er than it is, it is already unjust ly distributed, there are too many who have dodged taxation by making false returns, and by doing so placed the weight upon the honest man, so far, there has been no plan conceived to stop this inequality, be that as it may, we are now confronting a condition which compels the delegation to consider mabters from a practical business stand point. It must say whether or not it is wise to raise the tax levy an additional mill and wipe out an interest-eating debt that must be paid, or rock along and increase the debt by letting it go to judgment and have it to pay anyhow. Our object in directing atten tion to this matter at this time, is to inform the taxpayers of the condition so they may not be taken by surprise when their representatives cause them to pay more taxes later on, and also, that they will place the re sponsibility for the financial con dition of the county, not upon those now in authority but upon those who preceded them. AN IMPOSSIBLE HOPE. Zagh McGhee. the Columbia State's Washington correspon dent in issue of 16th inst., has ex-Senator John L. McLaurin an enthusiastic advocate of Pres ident Roosevelt for a third term asthe nominee of both parties. Senator McLaurin has always been a warn admirer of Presi dent Roosevelt, and we believe he is in earnest in wishing the -president to succeed himself, but we doubt very much if the United States contains a man who can be elected president for a third term. If however, there is such an one, his name is Roose velt. In our judgment he is in closer touch with the masses than any other man that has ever filled the executive hcair, and he is also more out of touch with the great corporate inter ests than any other president. Roosevelt is reported to have declared time and again that he would not be a candidate to suc ceed himself, but notwithstand ing his declarations, both Demo crats and Republicans, North and South, East and West, feel that the great work of regulat ing corporations, and the con struction of the Panama Canal will need the genius and determ ination of the present chief. Therefore there are many who regard the re-election of Theo dore Roosevelt a necessity for the country's continued pi'o gress. There was a time when to hear a Southern man praising a Republican his motives were questioned and he was regarded with distrust, but such is not now the case, because therecare thous ands of Democrats all over the South who like McLaurin, have the manhood to speak thejir honi est convictions and to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. McLaurin regards President Roosevelt as a man higher and broader than any po litic.'l party, and it is just such men the country needs in order to get out of the clutches of de signing ~liticians who are the henchm f corporate greed. When S rn men speak out sincerelT'' boldly like John McLaurin s hole country is the better for it. The cotton crop of 1906 will reach 13,500,000 bales, but not withstanding this big yield, cot ton manufactured goods are ad vancing every day, and the prospect is that good prices will prevail for the coming crop. The Washington Post says, that ex-Senator Burton now servin' time in jail nas "cut his prison sentence short by behav ing himself, and he cut his term in the senate short by misbehav ing himself. Strange how a man's actions cut both ways." "The Village" a magazine published in New York, the March number of which is upon our desk, and we find it a most attractive gotten up journal. It is a magazine which should be read by all interested in civic improvement. It is well edited, and its mechanical make-up is unexcelled. The financial depression in this section brought on by the short crop of last year is purely sectional and not at all general. The State and country as a whole was never more prosperous, and the short crop blow our people got will prove a blessing in dis guise. It has forced economy, a curtailment of cotton acreage, and a more discreet use of ferti lizer and credit. As a conse quence there will be more farm ers with cash at the end of the season 'than there has been in many years. Rev. J. C. Yongue, formerly pastor of the Methodist church at Summerton, now stationed at Walhalla, seems to have been giving utterances relating to the financial system of the Meth odist church, that were of fending and on last Sun day he made an humble apology for what he had been charging. It was, we believe, similar charges that got Mr. Creighton into trouble with the Methodist church. We are very fond of Mr. Yongue and it is gratifying to his friends in Clarendon, if he saw that he committed an error, that he had the manhood to ac knowledge it. The leaders of the cotton as sociation are endeayering to or ganize "Cotton Holding Com panies.," which they claim is ab solutely necessary for the cotton association to accomplish re sults. There is no doubt in our mind that by organization and loyalty to each other, the farm ers of the South have in their o vn hands the monopoly of a product which means wealth, de velopme~nt, the independence of the South and the making of agriculture the highest and noblest of callings. 'The whole thing rests in the hands of the farmers, and all they have to do, is to stand firm, be true to them selves, and to their neighbors, and the desired end can be eitsi ly reached. Ever since the State dispen sary was legislated out of busi ness the Co!umbia Record has been very spiteful, and doing its level best to provoke an argu ment- failing in its purpose it 'makes faces at the country press and charges the county newspa pers with having no editorial force. The .News and Courier of today defends the county pa pers from the charge, but while the motive prompting this de fense is appreciated, it was al together unnecessary. Newspa per readers appreciate the value of county newspapers as senti ment moulders, and theyj know whether or not these papers need the solicitous care of The Record which feigns to "view with distress the vacuity of many of its South Carolina weekly ex changes." There is some liklihood of an oratorical scrap between Presi dent J. C. Kilgo of Trinity Col lege. North Carolina, and Sena tor B. R. Tillmian. It is to be hoped the affair will be pulled off in this State. Both men are professional wind-jammers, and bothi equally sincere in their chase after the coin of the realm. If Senator Tillman will hold himself strictly to the issue raised by Doctor Kilgo, we are satisfied the preacher will make it interesting for him, but if he takes the issue for his text and branches off into matter calcu lated to muddy the debate Till man will carry off the hurrah. The two men are smart, Kilgo is a scholar and an orator. Tillman is not a scholar nor an orator, but he is possessed of current in formation which he has a knack of putting in a catchy way. He is also a shrewd agitator and an actor able to magnify mole hills into mountains and shape them to his advantage. Senator Tillman is ne longer one of the common peo~ple. He~ has commenced to boast of his pedigree. Nobody ever did look upon him as a "gray-neck," not even when he wore a sun burnt alpaca coat and used the sleeves as a handkerchief. He was not even regarded a clod-hopper when he wore brogans greased with tallow... True, his public speeches wcre to arouse the common people, one of whom he claimed to be, against the Bour bons or aristocrats, and every body else that failed to appre cate Tilhman's methods. The glamor of the footlights and the comfortatle feeling of fat purses has~ made a great difference; who would not rialize the difference between peddiing eggs in Au gusta at the market price per dozen, and being the star attrac tion at a talking function at $200 Senator Tillman is taking great chances of losing his prestige as a lecturer. Why, he delivered one of his $200 a night lectures at Roanoke, Va., the2 other night, and never 'cussed a time. A Tillman speech without cuss word- aint worth the price atid will soon iind its way upon the "marked -down p r i c e counter" and sold "regardless of cost. Thera has been so much ad verse -:ailroad legislation both in State and Nation that the rail roads are groaning under the op oression, and the people at large are the sufferers. In every State in the Union the legislatures are filled with men who have made their campaigns for political pre ferment on platforms of railroad antagonism, and the result is, they have built up a sentiment which demands extreme legisla tioi--railroads are treated as enemies instead as developers of the country. All of this is wrong and politicians are responsible for 3. We believe in treating the railroads as fairly as any private institution; to hamper the railroads with meddlesome legislation tends to cripple the efficiency. and the public must suffer. We believe in having just laws and requiring the rail roads to comply with those laws, but we do not believe in enacting such laws as makes it almost an impossibility for them to carry out. nor do we believe in enact ing laws that tend to curtail their earnings. Very few men in the legislature have any idea of the financial operations of a railroad, and when they attempt to make laws- that limit a rail road's earning capacity, it can only resuit in limiting and cur tailing the railroad's ability to serve the public.

The previous num bers have been well enjoyed and a night of pleasure and profit is again anticipated. Carolina Day was celebrated at the graded school this week. Principal Walker had a nice pro gram and many friends and pa trons were present to enjoy the exercises. Miss Elise Walker of Georgia, has been engaged as assistant in the music department of the school, this department having become too much for one teacher. Some of the foundation for the new graded school building has been laid, and it will soon begin to take on shape. There is some talk of developing the school in to one of higher scholarship by adding two more grades. and converting the three highest in to a high school. There has been several changes in real estate holdings the past few weeks, and soon there will be another campaign of the saw and hammer. Mr. J. M. Plow den will soon begin the erection of a handsome dwelling on N. Dukes street. Main street is now a thing of beauty, having been very much improved by the recent work. Several of the other streets have been improved very much also. Mr. W. H. Anderson is back from Mississippi for the sum mer. We understand that he has bought a home at West Point, Miss., where he is en gaged in the cotton business and will make it his permanent home. He and his family will be missed from our community. We are very much pleased to learn that our friend and old Summertonian, the genial J. J. Ragin and wife will soon make their home here again with their son, B. C. Ragin. "There's no place like home." Some of the writer's most pleasant and also most thrilling life experiences, have been in company with Mr. Ragin, Several new concerns have opened their doors to the public in the past few days. W. C. Johnson Co. and Chewning Bros. Co., are both composed of young business men of experience, and will no doubt receive a good share of custom from the com munity, and knowing them as I do, commend them to the pub Mr. T. S. Rogin has begun the operation of a shingle and lath mill. A man it is said, who puts ten men to work is more useful than a man who does the work of ten men. The cotton warehouse is now empty, as the last cotton was sold from it some days ago. It will no doubt be much more largely patronized next fall for it scarcely got ready for the past crop. Mr. C. W. Evans attended a meeting of the Woodmen of the World in Columbia this week. Mr. W. E. Jenkinson of Man ning, was a visitor in town this week. Mr. John Wilson, general manager of the Northwest ern, was here during thel week on business for his road. Another train has been put On., and things are beginning tol hum. Magistrate Rich bourg had an important case in his court this week. Seera lawyers were in I attendance. One bunch of three representing the Manning bar. These were seen coming down the sidewalk of Main street all abreast, and their front was so majestic that the natives took to the street. One was rigged up ill hIunting costume and was very effective. If ie escaped frou a fine from our judge for appear ing in his court in such a pic turesque attire he can consider himself lucky. The one in ,-tie center gripped a paper bag, which contained, we venture to say, peanuts, which he intended to scatter among the audience, so as to make things seem natur al, for somc can't do their bdst unless they feel at home. The third, he with.the square shoul ders, we venture to say, had a pair of broken spectacles in his pocket. His use for same will be only divulged for a fee. B. Worth Knowing About.

Barry Charged With Lar ceny. Developments of gigantic propotions are being made today in the robberies of the Jones-Shaylor Company and J. D. Horn & Co., the big Bay street dry goods establishments. Bryant Nichols a white man keeping a store at No. 1135 Lousiana street was arrested on the 7th inst.. on two charges of larceny made by the South ern Railway and the Jones-Shaylor Company. A quantity of goods identi fied as belonging to the Jones-Shaylor Company was found at Nichols' store and taken to police headquarters. Yesterday Arthur C. Dillman and H. C. Jones two young men who have been at t-imes.connected with the Jones Shavlor Company and J. D. Horn's were-arrested on the charge of stealing goods from the Jones-Shaylor store amounting in value to something over $112. Both were held in S400 bail and committed to jail by justice Howell. Jones said he thought he could give bail, but up to noon today he had failed to do so, and it is probable now that the amount of bond in his case will be increased to something like ~$3,000. This is on account of the police obtain ing information, they say, further in volving- Jones. Dry goode said to have been stolen and valued at between $4,000 and 85.000 have been taken from Nichols' place and stored in the stock room at the police station. MRS. NICHOLS ARRESTED. Last night Mrs. Leila Nichols, wife of Bryant Nichols, was arrested by De tective Caboon on a charge of' grand larceny. Justice Howell fixed bond for Mrs. Nichlos in the sum of $1,000, which was. given during the fore noon of today. Mrs. Nichols told the officers enough to show them that parties were involved further than they had expected, and that tiliey had been buying goods claimed by the police to have been stolen for over a year from parties now under arrest. TWO MORE ARRESTED. Today Detective Cahoon and Craw ford and Deputy Sheriff Frank Jones arrested D. A. Minor, manager of the J. D. Horn & Company's store, on the charge of grand larceny. The warrant was made out by the Southern Railway and alleges the theft of cigars and to bacco amounting in value to over $87 In connection with Minor. E. A. Bar ry was also a rrested. Barry and Minor bave a concession from the Dixieland Company to sell lunches, cigars, etc., in the park grounds. Several weeks ago cigars valued at $114 were alleged to have been stolen from Gus Muller & Company, and the police claim to have located these goods and traced them to Minor and Barry as the owners Barry claims to know nothing about where the stock came from, as he states that Minor furnished it. Barry was also ~docketed on the charge of grand larceny. - BOXES FOUND. In searching for evidence, the odfi cers got word that several suspicious looking boxes of goods had been sent to the Catherine street Clyde dock for shipment to C. N. Whiler, Charleston, S. C. The officers wvent to the dock and found six boxes, two large ones and four small. One box contained silks, and the others cigars and dry goods The property is valued at something like $1,000. A prominent Bay street merchant stated that he was positive that the box of silks came from the J. D. lier-...:.tore. Some of the property had, it claimed, been stolen from the Southern Railway freight house, and Gus Muller & Company. The six boxes of goods it is learned had been shipped yesterday by Minor, whose arrest followed this diclosure. Minor had little to say other than to remark that he paid for everything he got. He did not explain from whom he purchased the goods. HAD BANK ACCOUNT. When searched a bank book was found on Minor in the name of Minor& Co., showing a balance this month of over $3,000 and a deposit on the 8th of over $65. Justice Howell issued the warrants for Minor and Barry and he will ar raign them this afternoon. John H. Pope represents Nichols and wife, Mi nor and Barry. Minor has been in charge of the J. D. Horn Company's retail business for sometirie, having succeeded J. D. Bel lah as manager.-(Jacksonville Fla.) Titines-Union Later-The officers at work on this case, say that when the stolen goods are all located they believe it will amount to $25,000J.
