a result of the extravagance of
the lift legislature the State will
have to borrow over a million and a a
half this year. And this is in the t
face of an increase of the tax levy.
There is no use in increasing the
levy, for the appropriations can ner- 2
er be kept down until the people are f
thoroughly aroused and throw off T
this intolerable joke.?Greenwood

The Dispensary Imbroglio. t
For some time past the air has f
been filled with rumors of graft ^
tad irregularities amoog certain
(
members of the county dispensary
board. Lately Mr J D Gilland, e
Pfttil l"OOCRtly clerk of the board, a
preferred formal charges against 1
two members of the said board, c
requesting their removal on the
ground of malfeasance, nonteagtpce,
misfeasance and the grossest
negligence in the discharge of their *
official duties." I
Having no definite information c
on the subject The Record ?
awaited further developments without
comment, having the assurance
that the matter would be
thoroughly investigated. As we are
abont to go to press this investigation
is in progress.
Dispensary Auditor West has
-
been on the scene since saturuay
end is personally conducting the
court of inqniry", beiug ably
assisted by Solicitor Wells.
At this writing it is impossible
to give even a bare ontlineof
tbe testimony, as only a few witnesses
Lave been examined, bnt
we can assure our readers that
the matter is beiDg thoroughly

vy" COSTLY CLOTHES.
%? af ttods*
ay Chariatare.
As a role, boys are not disposed to
be overproud of their clothes, but a
lad whose Sunday suit costs some
?40 and ia of so striking a character
that it is considered unsafe for him
to walk abroad in it alone might be
excused for being a trifle "stuck up"
in tMi connecti on.
I et in London every Sunday there
are teh boys who are thus expensively
and brilliantly habited. They are
the ten choristers belonging to his
majesty's chapel in St. James' palace,
and truly goTgeous are they
when arrayed in their "state suits."
Scarlet cloth i6 the foundation of
the costume, and bands of royal
purple between rows of heavy old
lace are the adorning of it. Grandest
of all, old lace ruffles are worn
at the neck and wrists, but these are
so valuable and difficult to replace
that it must be a special occasion to
warrant their being donned, white
lawn bands beiDg substituted as a
i it.:
gcueitti ujiiig.
A boy has to exorcise great care
over his state suit, for it must last
him three years, while his undress
suit is replaced every eight months.
The choir of this royal chapel is
one of the historical institutions of
Britain, and many of its old time
customs, including the dress of the
boys, are retained to this day.
Some curious customs peculiar to
St. James' choristers may be mentioned.
The most interesting of
these is the right of the head boy to
demand a guinea as "spur money"
from any officer entering the chapel
wearing spurs.
It is related that when Sir Arthur
Sullivan was head boy the Duke of
Wellington would always come to
the chapel in his spurs in order to
have the pleasure of paying the forfeit
to his favorite chorister.?Pearson's
Weekly.
Hack Writers.
The journeymen writers write almost
all that almost all Americans
read. This is a fact that we love to
fool our elves about, we taiic aDout
"literature/' and we talk about
"hack writers," implying that the
reading that we do is of literature.
The truth all the while is we read
little else than the writing of the
hacks, living hacks?that i?, men
and women that write for pay. We
may bug the notion that our life
and thought are not really affected
by current literature, that we read
the living writers only for utilitarian
reasons and that our real intellectual
life is fed by the great
dead writers. But our hugging this
delusion does not change the fact
that the intellectual life even of
most educated persons, and certainly
of the mass of the population, is
fed chiefly by the writers of our own
time. Let us hope that the great
writers of the past do set the standards
whereby a few judge the writing
of the present. But even if this
be true it is still true also that the
intellectual life of the American
people is chiefly shaped by current
writing.?Walter H. JPage in Atlantic.
Kodol is today the best known
and most reliable remedy for all
disorders of the stomach, such as
dyspepsia, heart burn,sour stomach,
and belching of gas. Kodol contains
the same juices found in a
healthy stomach. Kodol is pleasant
to take. It is guaranteed to give
relief and is sold here by W L Wallace.
