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. -

Dr Rice is well knoWn in Colleton,

There is no doubt that “Miss Pet”
has touched and influenced more
lives ia the present generation than
• any other lady of the three counties
in which she has s-mebly and faith
fully taught. May each have a long
and happy life and success crown
their every effort,
