I. . AUI,I.. .oirOR. ASSESSING PROPERTY. The Spartanburg ierald in comment ing on the question of valuation of property for txationi and deploring the fact that owners and ollicers ignore the plain ai simple mandate of the consti tution, says: We are glad to note that the New berry lerald and News is taking up this matter and we should like to see More couity papers pressing it forward as one of the most important of all the public questions, civil or moral, which now presents itself to our people. " * It is very hard to understand how a man. honest in other matters, will de li berately swear that his property is worthl, sa', $1,000 when he ha1s jUSt. bought it for $2,000. Yet this is so fre quently done that it is scarcely remark ed uponl its a dishonest act, in plainer terills a lie, and the worst. kind of lie, it swindling lie. What code of morals have we that men, reputed to be atil e.alIing ihemselves honest, justify theiml selves in a deliberate perjury? See4 one resulit in the complete demoralization and shaillelessless of a set of men. ap poillted to assess the railroad and vot tonl mill proe1Vty of the State, who have n111 mor regard for the constitution ot' Solth t Carolinla and the demands of ('01111oll honesty tlhan to assess this rl'ohey at sixty per cent of its value. This is all very true in the literal se'ns 4 a while we agree with the li-ald41 t hat [Io ollicer has any right to II\n perooentage of valie on property :lI I41tr1, has the owner and thenl hen lie does and11 t'a1es I he oat I that he has assessed his pr'operty at its a tua value th'-e is. at least a trolat11 diWt ion.

During the more than two weeks which Pope Leo XIII passed in the shadow of death the eyes of the world were turned to his bed-side. It was no ordinary man who every change for th better during thoso fourteen davs was received by millions of men with joy; whose every change for the worse east a great, gloom. H-is election to the pontificate twenty-five years ago at sured that he was no or,lirary inin. 'Tle whole life of Leo XIlII may be judged by its close, and all men every where know its close. During the last few days he passed on eart h lie dis played the same kindly disposit io with firmness and the same :magnitfivent powers of mind which characterized his whole career. His great exet utive ability combined with his other sterling qualities, which eniabled him so accept ably to fill the posit ion of head of the strongest church onl earth numterically and a position which has been filled by some of the world's greatest melt, and which enabled him to add even greater illilniece to Ilhis position, would have Made I,o noted in any walk ot' life. lie com1mainded tIe admiration and I spect of all na: ions and of all ce eds. It speaks well fI- our age and for our civilization that in thousands of Protestant churches throughou t the world earnest prayers were offered for Leo's recovery, and that when he had paid the debt of all flesh. Protest ant as well as Catholic- mourned the death of :a great 1ald good man. GUN ULEMEN OF TilM TRIPO.
