Taxes, taxes and more taxes.
Is it the Lake Comity News
cr the Rutledge County Times?
/ If taxes have inci eased nearly
od$ hundred per cent .this year,
F what will they be the next year (if
1 the proposed new county wins
r?' out) with two county governments
to maintain in the same area
where hitherto has existed only
one? Don't let any one insult
r Km vo?r intelligence bv telling von
g i that taxes will be no higher.
L Our Cades correspondent scores
? a good poiut against the new
B county project, so far as the
people of Jobnson?ille and vicini'ty
are concerned, when he reminds
HV them that they need a comty ,
nB|^h seat nearer home more than Lake ,
BS9Kpity does. When the road from j
JBj^^Bosemary to Marion is completed
P and and chartered we have no ,
m donbt that there will be an ef- (
fort to establish a new county h
If?? f"?rU9M Qt WlllWPrturg #
and ^eorgebwh, unless the parties
to receive the greatest bene- j
it throw away their opportunity j
BgL by voting for the Lake(orRutledge) j
Oounty proposition. If there is "
to be a new county formed we j
bad far rather see it established 1
) in the lower part of Williams- |
burg, supplemented by a slice <
from the upper part of George- 1
town, which besides not hopelessly
dismembering old Williams- f
; f burg, as will the "loop the loop" '
rcj territory our Lake City friends
expect to carve out, would make
f a compact area with something
like regularity of boundaries.
| Moreover, the people who have to
drive thirty or forty miles to the
county seat now would be but
little benefited, if at all, by hav- .
" ing a county seat at Lake City.
So, we say, by all means, if
theie is to be a new county

portunity forever.
W Can They Do It?
' The town of Lake City proV
poses to build a court house and
I a jail for $8,00(XWith building ma!
terial and labor at the present price,
' \ it wsuld require miraculous financi- i
erincr to carry out this promise. 3um- ,
ter county has recently completed a
court house alone at a cost of
$75,000 and Clarendon is preparing
to issue bonds for $50,000 to
build a court , honae. Even our
little county jail cost $8,460,
^ * * . . and
the court house extension
of 12 feet, $4,000. But perhaps
a cipher * was dropped in
tb^ sum total ?nd , those mag
nanimons * citizens who pledge
themselves to build a jail and
a conrt house agreed to raise
$80,000 instead of $3,000.
i
Don't Increase the Levy.
Governor Ansel does not favor
extending the time for paving
havps nuii if is vprv nrohablfi
that there will be no extension
this year. We rather agree with
him as to the poor economy of
V
annually extending the time for
the payment of tuxas, bnt when
he comes with a second proposition
to raise the tax levy in order
to put the State on a cash
basis we believe that he is making
a grave miscate Of course
it would save the State ihe
money paid out in interest each
year if it could rna its business
on a ca3h basis. But raising the
tax levy would hardly accomplish
^this, even temporarily. Already
the tax levy is high enough
to aeiray an legitimate expenses
and with increased resources, added
to the tax levy on corporations,
the aggregate revenue increases
year by year.
But there is the legislature to
reckon with. If taxes were raised
so as to increase the State's revenue
to a billion dollars a year
there are always enough demagogues
in the general assembly
who, seeking self-aggrandizemeot,
will make appropriations so extravagant
as to drain the treasury
and plunge the State into debt
ragain.
So, Governor, please don't
recommend increasing tne lax
levy, unless yon are prepared to
veto every reckless and extravagant
appropriation gotten through
by hare-brained "statesmen", whose
main object is to make themselves
"solid" with their constituents
by giving them with one
bund ?ud taking away with the
rther. ,

It is very important and in fact
t is absolutely necessary to health
that we give relief to the stomach
promptly at the first signs of trouble
?which are belching of gas, nantea,
soar stomach, headache, irritability
and nervousness. These are
warnings that the stomach has been
mistreated; it is doing too much
work and it is demanding help from
you. Take something once in a'
while; especially after meals; something
like Kodol for Dyspepsia and
indigestion. It will enable your
itomach to do its work properly.

A Remarkable Nam*.
Years ago as a New England sea
captain wag signing a contract at a
shipping office he was observed by
the official in charge to be writing a
string of names. "Only sign for
yourself, cap'en," cried the officer,
"not for the whole crew." The captain
grimly pointed out the heading?"Name
in full"?and went on
writing his piece, which, when he
had done, the officer, after some
trouble in deciphering, found to
read thus: "Through-Much-Tribulation-We-Enter-Into-the-Kinedom
of-Heaven Clapp.*' "Will you please
to tell me, Captain Clapp," said he,
with as demure a face as his violent
inclination to indulge in a hearty
laucrh would allow him to put on,
; "what might your mother have called
you in your infancy to save heri
self the trouble of repeating a ser:
mon whenever she had occasion to
. name her darling?'' "Why, sir," ref
plied Captain Clapp, with laughable
simplicity, "when -f was little they
used to call me Trilby for shortness."
Show a Bad Example.
\ A grocer who was noted for his
j carefulness had an advertisement
inserted in a local newspaper for a
message boy, and a young fellow
who understood the kind of a gentleman
who was advertising came to
apply for the situation, and while
the grocer was telling him how careful
he must be a fly settled on a bag
of sugar, and the grocer caught it
and threw it away. The boy then
; said:
"If you want me to be careful
you are showing me?a bad example/'
"Why ?" replied the former.
"Because," said the boy, "you,
have thrown that fly away without
brushing the sugar off its feet."?

A Noble Critic.
When Pope was first introduced
to Lord Halifax to read his "Iliad,"
the noble critic generously criticised
this passage and that word at frequent
intervals. * The poet was
stung with vexation, for the parts
that most pleased hira were the
ones most criticised. As he returned
home with Sir Samuel
Garth he revealed his displeasure.
"Oh." said Garth, "you are not
acquainted frith ins lordship, tie
must criticise. At the next visit
read him the same passages and tell
him you recollected his criticisms."
Pope made use of this stratagem.
Lord Halifax was delighted and exclaimed,
"Pope, they are now inimitable!"

African Explorer (spinning a
yarn)?Not very long ago I went
out one day unarmed, when I suddenly
found myself face to face
with three lions.
Friend?Well?
Explorer?I fixed my gaze on the
brutes, then stuck my hands in my
pockets and walked away, whistling
an air from an opera.
Friend?And didn't the lions immediately
rush at you?
Explorer?They couldn't. It was
at the zoo.?London Tit-Bits.
