Officious Interference.
The bill for closing up the (lis-J
pensuries of this and other coun- j
ties that voted out legalized liquor
selling (and seemingly voted in
blind tigers) last summer, passed
the Legislature aud unless some '
quibble comes up that is not ap-'
parent just now, the fourteen
thousand dollars held up by the:
officious interference of the State
dispensary winding-up commission
will soon be paid over to the
towns and county, which will
8top the expense that has been
eatiug up the money ever since
the dispensaries were closed. We
understand that during all this time
the couuty dispensary board and
their clerk have been drawing
their full pay right along, although
they have had everything
in shape to turn over and were
ready to step down and out ever
sinoe the stock ar.d fixtures were
closed out. The money is in the
banks drawing no interest, we
are it.formed, w hile the towns and
the county, to whom it rightfully
belongs, are "broke" and have
to borrow money ami, of course,
pay interest 011 ii.
No one can blame the county
board in the matter, as they
would have long since turned over
" ' l...? f/\r fha IlloriHlp.
lue uiouej out ivi vuv ?
some ''butting in'' of that winding-up
commission, which seems
to be wound up to run perpetually.
The Legislature, after all, failed
* to euact the bill requiring the
promoters of new couuties to bear
the' expense of survey, electiou, et
cetera. Senator Appelt's bill passed
the Senate and Representative
Aver's bill, which was practical
J ~ r
ly 'the same, went through the
House without opposition. Yet,
somehow, amid the rush and confusion
of the last week, ttie bill
got lost in the shuffle. This bill,
which it seems to us was a very
editable measure, would no doubt
have saved the tax-payers of this
county considerable future expense.
Already we are saddled with a
debt of OTer $2,000 for the Hutledge
effort, aud now, we understand,
our Olanta friends are actively
at work launching their
new county boom, which if persevered
in will mean another tnousaud
or two thrown away paying
surveyors, commissioners, etc. When
is this thing of piling up the
bujr^en of taxation to stop?

Song of Marion's Men
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Our band is lew, but true and tried; !
Our leader frank and bold;
The British soldier trembles 1
When Marion's name is torn.
Our fortress is the good greenwood,
Our tent the cypress tree;
We ki.ow the forest 'round us,
As the seaman knows the sea.
We know :?s walls of thorny vines,
Its gla( is of reedy grass;
Its safe awl silent islands
Within the dark morass.
* * *
Well knows the fair and friendly iroon
The band that Marion leads? ,
The glittering of their rifles.
The scampering of their steeds.
'Tis life to guide the fiery barb
Across the moonlight plain;
'Tis life to feel the night wind
That lifts his tossing mane;
A moment in the British camp?
A moment and away
Back to the pathless forest,
Before the break of day.
Grave men they are by broad Santee,
Grave men with hoary hairs.
Their hearts are all with Marion,
For Marion are their prayers.
And lovely ladies greet our band
With kindliest welcoming,
With smiles like tho?e of summer,
And tears like those of spring.
For them we wear these trusty arms,
And lay them down no more
Till we have driven the Briton
Forever from our shore.
Sore Langs and Raw Langs.
Most people know the feeling, and
the miserable state of health it indicates.
All people should know that
Foley's Honey and Tar, the greatest
throat and lung remedy, will quickly
cnre the soreness and cough and restore
a normal condition. Ask for
Foley's fldney and Tar.
