Tito linking fund comiuiHaion him
adopted tlit) following I'tilo, based on
an opinion of tlio attornoy-fjonoral fur
lending tho sinking fund to tho several
count io?: " That county treasurers and
county supervisors niUHt mako declara
tion that no part of tho county taxes for
tho year 1N!>? mo plod god for payment
of any other dc.*l>t and that sink
ing fund commission will require a
certificate and declaration from county
treasurers and county suporviHors of
each county borrowing tho sink in-< fund
to tho following oll'oct; ' 1'liat county
treasuroi and county supervisor doolaro
ami certify t hat no part <>f tho county
taxoH for tho year t*t?7 uro pledged for
1 1 1 o payment of any othor debt and that
Hut Kinking fund commission bo given
a tlrst lion on all of Maid county taxes
for tho year 1NJJ7, and in tho ovent that
tho whole amount of said indebtedness
shall not bo paid from the taxes for the
year IM!)7; as required by law, then a
required and proforrod hen to aoonro
any unpaid balance is givon on all taxes
collected for county purposes for sue
cossivo years until the name is paid."'
The sinking fund commission can only
lend to tho extent yf one thud of tho
county taxes, but must have a prioi' and
preferred lien upon tho whole id' said
taxes. It has already boon Mated that
a county can borrow for loss than one
year. This information isonlyof value
to thoae counties which tiled their np
plications for loans prior to May I.
Those applications have already been
passed upon and no more can bo con
sidered.

resolution was introduced memorializ
ing tho general conference to make tho
oflico of presiding older an elective one.
This resolution 'failed to pass by one

It Is usual to compare tlio battles of
tho last century with tho battlus of to
day, and to dilate upon tho greater
deadlines* of tho modern weapons and
the modern results. Hut tho facts are
all tho other way. At Fontenoy, for
Instance, ouo volley of iho Coldstreams
struck down 4f>0 Frenchmen of tho
Regiment du Hoi. Again, at the same
battle, the Gardes du Corps had not
much short of R00 saddles emptied by
a fllnglo volley, while the French
Guards were scattered by a point-blank
volley from a British regiment at twen
ty paces that brought down *1 .*>0 men.
Here wo havo nt K rugersdorp thou
sands of Boors In cover shooting for
hours on two days at 000 Englishmen
In tho open, and killing very few com
pared to tho hundreds who dropped at
ono volley from the Coldst reams at
Fontenoy.
Tho fact Is that modorn lighting
tends moro and moro to become a game
of long bowls. This was the cuttso of
tho small execution done/at Krugera
dorp. On tho other baud, our fore
fathers at Fontenoy and elsewhere
hold their flro till they wero within
twenty or thirty paces, and the otllcers
jmssod their canon along tho muskot
barrels to mako suro they weru no:
aimed too high bofore tho volley was
delivered. Moreover, tho men wero
formed In solid column or square, and
every shot told. It looks as If the great
er range of tho tillo would bo followed
by less loss of men, and certainly tho
rapidity of tho dlschargo of tho maga
6lno rlflo tends to encourage wild and
curoloss shooting, and Is against cool
and accurate workmanship.? .Saturday
