To , tills is added in every county throghout the State the constitutional .'1 mill school tax. , The county levy ranges from 2 V mills in Charleston and Orangeburg ' to 1 1 mills iu Lexington, the extremely high levy in the latter conn- * ly being on account of a large ? amount of interest to be puM ouch year on bonds given in aid of the Columbia. Newberry and Laurens . railroad. The following counties make special levy for good roads: Clarendon, Cherokee, Chesterfield, Colleton, Florence, tJreenvllle, Kershaw, ' i aureus, Oconee, Pickens, Spartan- ( (burg and Union. Union enjoys the unique and commendable distinction of being the ' single county in the State which ( makes a direct appropriation for its Confederate veterans. In addition to getting their pro rata of the $2f>0,- J ?Oh appropriated by the Stater, the veterans of Union receive the bene- . fit of a levy of one-fourth mill on all the taxable properly of that .

Various states, are contemplating their taxation, and now comes exPresident Cleveland's suggestion to disfranchise the single voters.

We have frequently advocated the purchase by the city of a tract ol land for a public park, and we are stiil of the opinion that the city could make no better Investment. Sometime ago the Charleston News and Courier editorially spoke of the agitation of the subject of parks In the Spurtanburg newspapers, and in that article made the following predictions and suggestions: Within a quarter of a century Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson, Sumter. Orangeburg, Georgetown, and other municipalities in South Carolina will be cities of from 25,000 to 75,000 population. No straining of the imagination to forsee this growth. The towns iu South Carolina are increasing iu population with n rapidity that is scarcely observed and in a few years parks, that seem now a luxury not to be afforded, will be necessities. Meantime the price of lands is also Increasing. in the growing towns u park area of twenty-five acres that would cost now $10,000. at $500 the acre will cost $5,000 1 he acre when the cities will be compelled to purchase and lay out parks The question of adding to the park acreage is one constantly before the ! large cities of the country. As a general proposition It seems that any prosperous town of 15,000 Inhabitants is wise to Invest in real estate for park purposes. Even though the town's revenues do not permit the present conversion of a bare ! Iract of land Into well kept groves j uul gardens, the enhancement of I 'ho value the laud is almost certain lo i?ay iu time a handsome return >n the investment. Meantime, some work, such as the planting of trees, an be done at little cost. There is scarcely any investment . io safe and profitable as town and ity real estate which the citizens; an make. If the purchaser can afoul to hold long enough the proits are certain. In all cases, the nunlcipulity can hold '^definitely herefore why should not. the nuineipality invest as trustee for the itizens of 'he future at the time when it can be done with the best H'omlse of lurgc profits? WILL (iO TO DltKMKX ro Confer With Lloyd IHrectors Regarding Charleston Linc.v Former (lovernor Hey ward, Com- i missioner Watson and Mr. P. H.

They were mimed tit the organization meeting held at the Colin ia hotel last week. Wanted Their lloo/.e. The Chronicle stiys "the dry spell n South Carolina was felt in Augusa Saturday. Since the dispenstiry vent out of existence as a state in- I dilution and the county dispensaries lave not yet been instituted, report , \as it that the South Carolinians in he territory adjacent to Augusta : tave been sutlering from a terrible >rul drought. Saturday they invad d the city in large numbers to lue'jch their long thirsts at sundry ilaees where the cup that cheers and nebriate niuy be bad by all who lave the price. As a result the saoons on iiroud strii't and close to he river did a rushing business not | ilone across the bar but in bottled ;oods and jugs, many of the Caro- j Inlans taking a supply iu their caneens so us not to sutler over Sun- | lay. One liquor dealer in the con- | rul part of the city said Saturday light that lie wouldn't care if the J iispensarv never came back in Carillna and added thai its an ill wind that blows nobody good." People I who drink will have it, it seenis, at , iny cost. (iood News for Carriors. A dispatch front Washington says j the Senate committee on poslofflces. and postroads Saturday reported ti the senate the postolllce upproprm- ! Hon hill. The report on the measure will not he completed until Monday, hut it is estimated that an increase of a ho ut $3,000,000 has heen made over the amount, appropriated hy the house bil, which was a little more than $209,000,000. The largest item of increase is involved in an item advancing the pay of rural carriers to $900. The present pay of such carriers is $7 2 0 and the house hill increased this to $8 10. Now the Senate raises it to $900. This is good news for these hard worked public servants, and we hope they ...111 ../v? A A A ? nni uiu |IIT juiir. They Took Poison.

One Teacher and Slxttrn ChJltlrei Perish in School Mrc. At Montreal, Quebec, Principa Maxwell and sixteen'children perish ed In a fire, which broke out Tues tfay alteruoou In the Hochelag school of the protestant school com mission. The school was locate* in a brick two story building in th east end of the city, and was attend ed by about 200 children, whose par ents are mechanics living In th neighborhood. The lire started from the furnaci ' and was first noticed by a workniei i employed nearby. The teachers wer< notified and the work of gettinj the children out began. The kinder garden department was located 01 the second lloor and it was her* that the loss of life occurred. The children were started out, bu on reaching the landing, found th* lower hall full of smoke. Into tlili they refused to decend, though th* way at this time was quite safe. Huddled together on the stairwaj at first they retreated to the room* from which they had come. Whet the firemen arrived an extensior ! ladder was placed in position, and ti I large number of children were rescued In this way. Assisting in the work was Miss Maxwell. The fire by this time was making its way upwards, and th*? smoke was growing so dense that even the experienced firemen could not stand it. Captain Carson endeavored to get Miss Maxwell to go clown the ladder, but she refused and evading the attempt to detain her rushed back into the back part of the building in search of others of the little ones, When the firemen were finally able to make their way to the back portion of tlm building. sh? was found lying on the floor with a little one beside her. All those who perished died from .asphyxiation The building was unprovided with in*; i-Bcapro. S( .\Hi:i> TO DKATH. N'rj^o Woman Thought WUolieN Were After Her. A Spartanburg let'or says there is great excitement umonR the negroes of that city because of the (lentil of Susie Moore, who died suddenly at her home. The woman was taken ill and acted in a strange muuncr, and many negroes believed that she was poisoned, but an Investigation by the coroner showed that her death resulted from natural causes. Sunday night the woman began to act in a strange manner. She declared that she wus possessed of witches and seized a handful of salt and scattered it about her room, thinking a free use of salt in the house would run out the witches. The woman soon lost consciousness and fell on her bed. Medical aid was summoned and when the physician arrived she held salt in both her hands. Coroner Turner made a thorough investigation of the case, hut found no evidence to lead that she had been poisoned or that her death remit t?a ?VMUIVVJU I I U1II UlIK'I than natural causes. COST NKAKLY FIFTY. A Stolen Kiss Proves to I) an Kxpenslve Luxury. It costs a fellow something in Baltimore to steal a kiss from a woman. One little kiss cost George Wilkinson 14 5.76, according to a decision in the criminal court. Pansy Schmidt a comely woman told the court slu was 'tending bar at her husband'* saloon on Mulliken street.' It was Mme to close for the night While vouching with both hand* above her head to turn out the lights, she said Wilkinson embraced her and stole a kiss. "Go 'way, you horld thing," slu said, and Wilkinson went. Then ne sv.ore out a warrant for his ar v* wUHnson admitted he had that he had kissed her a number ol kissed Mrs. Schmidt, and asserted times before. "I kissed her right on the mouth,' he said, with emphasis, us though rfcuiuuK a pleasant memory. HFJK< TM Fid KTING CIIAIIGK. lu(l|(0 Holds Conduct of Plaintiff'* Sister Didn't Influence Juror.
