Make! it fifteen, gentlemen. Georgetown, county certainly up-. predates her adopted sons from Will ianii^urg. A few months ago . Mr J A Hemingway, a native of Williamsburg, was appointed couutv treasurer, and last week ' Mr H C Tallevast. another son I of this grand old couutv, was; chosen to till the office left vu- j cant by the resignation of the! veteran county auditor, W H Dor-. rill. Thus we see two of the most important offices of our j aeighbor county tilled bv young men who moved over the line, from Williamsburg. Georgetown couutv is to be congratulated 01 having such material to choose! from. JI any of the spectators in the court room Monday when the negio, Kose, was sentenced went *w.iy with the erroneous idea thar the execution will be, public, but that is a mistake, j TLe form of sentence employ- ' ed was taken from the regular; foru? book U3ed in the court; room, which was published many J years before the Legislature pass-1 ed the act providing for private: hangings, which repealed all j previous legislation in the subject, j We are informed by Sheriff' Oraham that the negro will be! hanged on the gallows inside I 4lre jail.

Even if this can be. done legally, which is doubtful, it would be bad judgment?not; to Sttv bad faith?011 the part of j the representatives of the people *ti-j their nower. The! superintendent of education in-' tonus u ~ that there are several weah schools m this countv that will li&vc to be closed in a short, while I'l.lfess this fund is ouick4 Iv available. What good will all this money do, anyhow, if" it is to be tie-' up indefinitely:4 The, mc::ey by every law of right and justice belongs to the public .schools and they need it now.

Time Was, oulv a few tie- j' , , i cade-: aim, when tile "ihr.-o lis ' | ami some slight Knowledge of keeping accounts, was eonsideredj ample equipment for the average! woman for the ordinary duties of j^ life, the greater part of herj training being given to the ac- i quisition of the finer arts and! It graces that made up the font-en- ( sembh' of her refined and attractive personality. The women of a generation or two ago were ^ not expected to tight the battle of life for themselves, but rather ^ to cultivate the clinging, dependent side of their being, relying for a material support upou some member of the stronger sex. And j, 4'? . AUifrtli.n fKut rrrou,' lilt? &{MI!L VL tunail ? illut ^ivn ^ out of this dependency made it in most instances a pleasure and ^ privilege for the male member of thr family to provide for t and take care of those whose province it was solely to minister to ihe comfort and pleasure of the bread-winner aud home- < builder. Thus the women were fain . to yield to the men not only the . privilege of cut iug. the ballot but also to let them practically mo- ( nopolize techuical and elsssical . instruction. I But times have changed, and l nowadays, with shame be it t spoken, the women are not only t expected to earn their living c wholly or in part, but statistics i show that there are in the t United States more than half a ( million men who are actually t supported by their wives or j daughters. c Recognizing this gradual change t ? ? 1! 4 of conditions, oouin C/arouna i some years ago made provision for the higher education of her daughters by the establishment of Winthrop college, and since then the State has been exceedingly liberal in her support of this institution. Moreover, we ( doubt not that in a few years there will be one or more ad- ( ditional female colleges supported by the State, and meantime 1 Winthrop will continue to fare fully as well us she has done ^ in the past. Winthrop college is doing a great work and we do not re- , gret a single dollar that has j ever been spent toward its upbuilding; probably no equal amount was ever more wisely ex- ( pended by the State. But we must not expect the State to 1 discharge its accumulated debt to the women of mauy generations, ^ arising from failure to provide for their higher education, by ' appropriations to Winthrop out of proportion to the funds available for that purpose. Such an expectation would not only be unreasonable but without hope of fulfilment. Our State is already 1 straining to carry her enormous Lad of luxation and with constantly increasing obligations weighting J her down, it is a problem of gravest j import to our ablest statesmen and publicists how to meet the j financial responsibilities of the State without increasing the al- ! | ready excessive tax rate. Without in the least dis- i j L-otinting Winlhrop's good work, ' we must not forget that the ed-1 I una!ton:: 1 field is broad and com-i ! ! i pivheiisive, and there are other, j :.;iiO'd.? dependent Upon State aid ; that are just as Wortiiv as the ;i: ls" C'dli ge. Then there :U" the I ...mi....1. .i ll... I. vv iii.-ii in ni:i mind lie w r.-t of .1.i in need of more lil?erul appropriations from the' >t:ite. True t'ne boys' schools rei -ivinir State aid outnumber the = i ;ir!s" school three to one, but the liale colleges are here already j uul are doing good work andj they must be supported. It J would he the poorest sort of . ! i icouoniy to abolish one or more i jj >f these institutions in order j t hat Winthrop might be enlarg- \ id so as to open her doors to 'j ivery student that might apply j : for admission. And yet that is j f vhat it would mean if the girls K irt to receive the same amount I or higher education iust at this fi ime that the boy^receive?either ? hat or a big appropriation that rouId su increase the tax levy is to create among the taxlayers a prejudice against all State colleges, thus killing the joose that laid the golden egg. Now that the subject of taxation hasj been touched upon, we shall follow this article with a liscussiou of the subject in a nore general way. It is a critical time in the political and inaucial affairs not only of our State but of the nation. Every ;hing runs to luxury and exravagance. The masses of the leople are growing restless under he oppressive taxes imposed upou hem and though patient and ong-suffering. there is a poiut >eyond which forbearauce ceases ,o be a virtue. Before reaching ? his crucial point we hope thai , >ur law-makers, both State and lational, will pause and rellect; hat they will exeicise their lualities of statesmanship to stop he leak? in the public treasury nstead of working overtime to levise new schemes to squander lie money of the people that hey profess to represent. Owing to a rush of matter at the ast moment we are a day late this veek issuing the paper. New Advertisements. II D Reddick?Closing Out at ?ost. Peoples Mercantile Co?New joods for New Year.
