It has suddenly been discovered that the Spartanburg city councill somo lime ago in secret session voted $14,000.00 to a railroad about | to enter that city. The people of Spartanburg can do away will) secret sessions if they wish, but they failed to do so a year or two back when thaV was a direct, issue. Publicity may not nlwajs be the best way of conducting business, but in public utfairs it is the safest Spartanburg h as fertilized the tree; thoii's tho fruit to pluck. ? Sumter Herald. -The great problem now with the people of of this part of the coun 1 try is the high price of all the things they have to buy and the low price of the things they have to sell. All foodstuff 4 are u p in price, the average being something like 30 or 40 per cent, anil it takes so much jnftW- money than formel} for actual living cxpensis. Peo ple who have to buy corn, hay, etc., for their stock are having a parllr. ulatly hard time. The moral of the situation is, that wo do not taise nearly so large a proportion of our supplies as we should. I? is pos sible for this country to raise all the foodstutt'a it needs and thi<* in ~ what it should do. ?

C , r has undoubtedly struck the right note of how to solve the problem of a Ju*t and equitable taxation, in ? his desire to publish tho tax re turns of his city and county. There is no doubt but what a great many who make unjust roturns will object to this method of exposure, as they do not deeiro tho true status of ;'v- their properly values bared for pub lie sorutiny, not only in Anderson, bnt in every county in the Slate. T^This movement for equal rights in taxation, is thoroughly endorsed by Comptroller General Jones, and it to be hoped some positive steps will be taken, for the trend of this movement will be far reaching is its sweeping reform of vaxation in b- every county of this State. Some years ago the school tu tborltfes of Greenwood county had tbslist of poll taxpayers of the oonnty printed in the newspapers bs cost was about $40, and sever hundred dollars of delinquent taxes were collscted within a w weeks afterwards.

Attor ney Nines it ?il <1 h that the railroads' regulation for the presentation and exchange of coupons for mileage in entirely returnable. Attorney times was asked iiy the Coin mission to furQj^i an ap^jLOJ^J upon' fK' right of a Common carrier to expel a passenger, who had fail ed to comply wtih its regulation, requiring tho exclisngo of milbage coupons fnr a ticket.
