Whilo it its true that tho question of taxation will bo ono o t tho mobl Knotty problems for soliifiou, thero in not much dilloronco in Iho flnnueial situation now, though it has boon for several years pod. H has boon tho policy of tho State to borrow from Potoy to pay Paul, and as a cr/nsenuonco tho govormnont has not boon run on a cash basis. It has boon found noco^ary each year to borrow money to moot tho ujurront expenses of tho Stat o, this iVhiotUit usually boing $100, 000 or in that noigborhood. This condition arises from tho fact that tho lovy has novor been nntticiont to" moot tho "rtTufftuI ap mopriution, by reason of the low n.'istfsfc iffout usually i?lacod on pioporlV by 'Taxpayers. I'lio legislature in its ap propriation would take in consideration tho amount of money to bo colloctcd in taxes b\it it novor bothered itsolf about tho I it t Jo oircumstanco that tho Stato was behind and had to borrow money. Hence, it has boon for years tho custom to uso tho taxoH ollcclod and not yet appropriated, in order to meet current expenses. No consideration has boon taken of this fact, and annually tho sumo thing has boon going on, leaving a dolicit as far as appropriat ions aro concerned of about $100,000. This year Treasurer Timmorman has sue- ' coedod in pulling through without bor rowing, thanks to $110, out) paid in by the dispensary. lint this aid will no longer bo nvuilablo, for no inoro of tho profits can bo u?od for tho genoral fund. Stato Treasuror 'rimmerman soiuotiino ago, in BPeoking of this matter, said it w as best and cheapest for tho Sj*to to run on a cash basis, and t Inw&iYiul only bo dono by an increaso in thO-'Fovy or higher assessments. Ifo in fully awaro 01 tho foot that the legis lator who proposes this must liavo a stilt" political backbone, especially in view of 11 vo cent cotton. Buthobo liovos matters will grow worso unless something is dono and tho sooner the attempt, at least, is tuado tho better. ?Such a course may moan tho political death of t'lio man who advocates it, bull ho will dio in a patriot ic cause, if that will be any solace to him. As already said, tho situation as to tho actual do licit is not different from that of other years, it will bo when tho receipts ot ISt?7-U8aro ponsiderod. Thero w ill bo no dispensary fund and no phosphate royalty to help out the treasury. Thoro scorn a to bo little in tho' way of cur tailing tho appropriations, and if legis lators do not adopt Mr. Timmorman's plan, it looks as if tho Stato will bavo to contiuuo borrowing at interest. - Tho Register. r> ? ^-49^ ? At tho last meeting of tho Stato Uoard of Control a special coimuitteo was appointed to look into tho question of tho nocossily for a reduction in tho pricosof beer and whiskoy to in(?ot tho ().

In a uoneral way, however, it may bo stated that thero is no change whatever ill tho pricos of tho ordinary grades of liquor sold in tho dispensaries. The reductions huvo all boon made 011 the fine whisk ion, case goods, etc., wines, ales, porter and beer. Tho chief change consists in the placing on tho market of a-throo-for-a-quartor boor. Tho new' price lists w ill doubtless bo sent out 111 a few days and tho dispen sers all over tho State instructed to make their sales in accordance with them. This is tho first time that an ef fort has been mado by tho disponsaVy authorities to meet tho competition of tho (>. I', stores in various sootiona of (lie State, but now O.

Tho Savannah Nowa Bays: "Tho planters o( South Carolina, Georgia and Florida are not suffering booauso of tho ourront low prioos of cotton to the ox tont that tbev would in all probability liavo suftoreij a f^w .years ago with the samo prioafor tho reason that thoy are now diversifying their orops and raiaiDg thejr provisions. Thoy aro, however, heavy losers through the fact that woro cotton is boing produced than the world wants, ov the ability of speculators to depress tho pricoa of the staple until the crop iB all out of tho hands of the pro ducers, n? the caso may be. But wnat over may be the oauao of tho low price of cotton, it is ovident that thoro mjist bo tttill furtuor diversification of orops. Cotton must bo givon lesa attention and acroago, ?ml other orops more of oach. v Tobaoco Booms to bo ono of ' tho most promising money ordps for thia eootion. After tho disaator to tho Florida orange grovos many of tho grovo-ownorB turned their attention to vogotablo, grain and to bacco crops, and today thoy aro inoro pror.porous than thoy were "before thoir orange treos were destroyed. Thoorango trooa aro now growing again, and tlio indications aro that it will not be a groat whilo boforo tho fruit will bo aa groat a sourco of rovenuo in Florida us over boforo. But tho planters will not give up thoir vogetablos, grain and to bacco and again depend altogether upon oranges. Tho orango crop will be some what in tho nature of an oxtra Bourooof income. Thoro is considerable tobacco grown in >Soutli Carolina and more in Florida. Uoorgia produoos but liltlo. Tho cliniato and soil of dliia Stato, how evor, aro well adapted to tho cultivation of tho tobacco plant. Tobacco growing iu tho State would not be an experi ment. Boforo cotton became -tho groat orop, tobacco was grown on tho Georgia soacoast and for a lnmdrod milos in land. " like every other crop, needs nourishment. A fertilizer containing nitro gen, phosphoric acid, and not less than 3% of actual I u will increase the crop and im-. prove the land. Our books tell oil about the subject.
