IffOff. NOTb AND COMMENT \ The audience givtn the last number _ i ’ ' & of the Walterboro Lyceum, “The Mon- tank Club,’’ was very gratifyiuy to the young men who are furnishing this coarse. The court house was filled and the boys came ont all right. But beaid< s the financial success of this namber, it was a great success from {he point of •ntertaiument. Everybody was load in his praise of the musical talent of theD fonr young ladies. The money paid was well spent. Those who did not go . , N. missed a rare treat. * * * * The legislature met yesterday and will be in session for the next forty days. There are three important matters that V * should have the prompt and serious at tention of all the^members: the dispen sary, taxation and compulsory educa lion. The dis|>eus&ry will come in for the usual number of speeches of con demnation and of praise, bat this being the session when a chairman and com missioners will be elected, there is likely o to be something more than mere speech- making. We are safe to predict that if the system is not ubolisbed outright, the State board as now constituted will b e destroyed root and branch. As to the matter of taxation, some/ thing ought to be doue. The present system of collection of taxes is a yfeflec tion on the intelligence of both houses. The idea of a penally of one per cent for delinquency in paying taxes. Who is going to try to pay t wken he can get the use of his money for one per cent? Cer * tainly no one whose taxes amoant # to much and who has use for his money What should be doue is this: A definite time should be fixed for the payment of taxes after which a straight peualty of ten per cent should be imposed up to a certain time, say March 1, and after that, executions should issue. r The subject of compulsory education will come in lor consideration and we hope a suitable law will be passed. The ■abject has been presented in some form for several sessions and has constantly gained in strength. Last session it lack ed only a few votes of becoming law. It onght to pass this winter with a good safe majority. - o SCHOOL FIGURES. In his annual report to the general as ■embty, Hon. O. B.
