THURSDAY. FEB. 13. 1908 l
While the legislature is raising 1
the salaries of some county officials t
why not raise them all? It looks i
like partiality to raise some and -J
slight the other*. _
i li
p
The salaries of the county audi- a
tor, the coonty treasurer and the J
supervisor will probably be raised jj
iu all the counties. These officials o
in Williamsburg will hereafter re* f
oeive $1,200, in lien of $900 each 0
for auditor and treasurer and J
$700 for the supervisor. d
c?e q
There is a bill pending in the ?
legislature to relieve the State J
treasurer and certain ex-treasurers i
K C
of liability for bonds stolen by a
their dishonest clerk, who was ?
not under bot.d, thereby mulcting ?
u
the State of some thousands of V
t!
dollars. Is there any limit? t<
_ _ . b
'6!
There is a plan on foot to re- ti
a
model the State house. It is only li
a few years since many thousands ?
of dollars were expended on this *
same work and after being com- a
pleted the work was condemned, a
Something was said about suiug "
the architect and contractors for !j
the recovery of the State's money, ^
bnt we have never heard of any p
money being recovered. v

Another Junketing Tour. *
"The special train provided by "
the Atlantic Coast Line for the j
use of the legislators consisted of 9
fire handsome new passenger u
coaches, in addition to the bag- t
gage car. There were two hundred j!
and twenty-nine people on board *
the special. Of this number twenc
ty-nine were ladies." Thus is de3- t
- - - . . .. E
cribed by the reporter or tne wews <
and Courier the vehicle and per- 8
lonnel of the most recent junketing J
tour of the honorable gentlemen
- of the general assembly. He also said
that it was a jolly party, and no
doubt it was, but the cost to
the State was probably several
thousands for the trip aud of
course after accepting the generous
hospitality of the Citadel the
Solons could not well refuse the
modest little appropriation it asks.
At will be seen in the appropria
tion Dili, wnicn we puonsn else- '
where, the Citadel wants this year i
$62,750 as against $35,750 last
year. . ;
No wonder the State tax levy
will be increased to six mills.
Grippe is sweeping the country, j
Stop it with preventics, before it
gets deeply seated. To check early
colds with these little Candy Cold ,
Cure Tablets is surely sensible aDd '
safe. Preventics contain no Quinine,
no laxative, nothing harsh or
sickening. Pneumonia would never
appear if early colds were promptly i
broken. Also good for feverish <
children. Large box, 48 tablets, 25 |
cents. Vest pocket boxes 5 cents.
