Camp Sevier Quarantined. Following is an extract from a letter received by Mrs. W. D. Grist from her son, James D. Grist, at Camp Sevier-this morning: "The quarantine is still in force and will no doubt continue to be in force for some time. Considerable pressure is being brought to bear on the military authorities by Greenville trades. men to lift the order and it micrht 1 be done, but I don't think so. From what I can learn from the hospital internes and others, there have been fewer cases of 1 I measles since the quarantine be- 1 came effective, and everybody | who thinks seems to be of the opinion that it was the only way ! to stop the epidemic. Of course i new cases continue to develop occasionallv; but they are not in an increasing ratio." ?Yorkville Enquirer.

W.Kimbi r kn?, |a There was a time when the annual rounds of the county treasurer fbr the collection of count' taxes were very necessary ami proper, but that time has abou past. "There has never been a fall since I have- been in office when there was more money in the county than there is this fall," said Treasurer Neil a few aays ago, "ana l nave actually taken in less money this fall than during any previous round of the county." Asked as to the reason, the treasurer explained that the principal reason, was that most of the taxes are now b^ing paid through the banks. The people go to the banks and pay taxes when they get ready, and knowing as they do that they can pay their taxes at the banks at any time almost up to the last day, they pay but little attention to my coming into their respective neighborhoods." * You I. ins. | i for developing business, plans <)ractical when you have -the | it.
