THE COUNTY TAX LEVY.

By referring to Mr.. Hunn's letter it
vii be seen that the commissioners have
levied only one mill tax for roads and
bridges instead of one aud eight tenths,
as we stated last week. The total coun-
ty tax will therefore be six mills, which
ought to produce $4,000. In addition
to this there is an average of about one
mill more to be paid as special school
tax assessed by the school districts.
The estimate of the commissioners, by
f.ucality and cash payment, may be re-
duccd at least four THOUSAND dollars If
this should be done, the affairs Of the
county will stand thus, at the end of the
next year: Received fiom taxes and
licenses, s31, 900; expended, S24 600 4;
balance, $1,000, left to redeem outstand-
ing checks in their order.

The reelection of Grant does not sur

The reelection of Grant does not sur
prise us any more than his denomination
did. He was not the first choice Of ten
disinterested Republicans in the . tied
States. We have never seen RepubE-
can who spoke of him as the man above
all others whom he would have selected
He was voted for by Republicans because
he was the party candidate, and he be-
come that candidate by the unscrupulous
use of the immense power of the patton
al administration. The same use Of those
powers and influences can re-nominate
and re-elect him again and again, or can
transfer the presidency to any one he
may select.
The triumph isnot due to the grea. prir-
ciples which brought the Republican par
ty into existence, FOR Greeley was life
long advocate of those principles, which
he has never abandoned, and Grant never
professed them. Greeley was supported
by thousands OF the best Republicans OF
the country. and Grant vas voted for by
tens of thouSan Is Of the worst Demo
Gratis. In fact the Bourbon Democrats OF
the north, found themselves far more at
home with him than Gree!ey. As both
men stood upon substantially Republican
platforms, the coarse materialism of
Grants character was nore ATTRACTIVE
than the intellectual nobility of Mr..
Greeley.

To THE BEAUFORT REPUBLICAN ~
Now that the elections are over we
hope to have you, as editor of our county
paper, take more interest in the affairs
and growing prosperity of this section.
Foresight and good judgment guided
in the location of town at Brunson's
station. The land is dry; the climate
genial; the health of the section excel
lent; the railroad furnishes the needed
means of communication and transperta-
ton.
To see the progress made at this place
in the last six months is surprising.
Hard work and perseverance has accom-
plished wonders. Two energetic citizens
of Georgia have a splendid steam saw
mill, which is doing large and profitable
business. There are two fac stores, in
successful operation, and three more are
projected. The railroad company have
just finished large depot, for which the
energetic superintend mt is receiving the
plaudits of our people. We are soon to
have church and hotel. A court of
Justice is held here every week, and a
Photographic gallery has been estab-
lished. Thirsty souls can find the where
withal to slake their thirst in cognac, old
rye, usequebaugh, champagne, etc. So
you see we have many of the evidences
of an advanced civilization.
A good quality of clay is to be had in
this vicinity and the making of bricks
might be made profitable.
Lots in the town can be still purchased
of Mr.. w. E. BEunson at low prices, and
good farming land can be bought or hired
near the town. Within few miles of
US is spring, the waters Of which are
said to cure opthalmia
"Bathe in its waters. and the visual ray,
That has been dark, will hence be clear as day"
To all desiring pleasant, healthful,
and prosperous residence, we say "come
and see u.s."
The energy with which our greatest
blessing, the Port Royal Railroad, under
its superintendent, Mr.. Millett, has been
pushed toward completion, is worthy OF
the praise and gratitude of our people.
His difficulties have been many, from
open enemies and treacherous allies, but
the railroad has advanced in spite of all,
and ere long we will have hundreds OF
enterprising Georgians seeking for op.
portunities to exhibit their pluck and
energy along its line. ~

ley was bringing a schooner over St.
Helena bar with his boat the Racer in
tow. In making a tack, the wind which
had been very light, failed entirely, and
he was obliged to bring both vessels to
an anchor, although he was nearer to a
reef than he liked When the vessels
swung with the tide. both were in dangeg
of touching. In attending to the
schooner, Buckley was obliged TO neglect
his own boat, which went on to the reef,
pounding severely. Getting assistance,
brought her along side the schooner. She
did not appear much damaged, but filed
soon after and sunk in deep water, Pilot

TIME.

Our horologist has brought us to time,
or time to us. He has looked full OF
business for week past and has at last
let us into the secret of his doings. He
has got transit. He trains it onto the
north star, in the back yard, at night, apd
brings the sun up to chalk line some
where between Odell's bake.shop and
Matthiessen's store, in the day time
The celestial orbs are, in some mysterious
way, hamessed to his big clock and the
result is that Watcrhouse, Wallace and
Pollitzer know exactly when to blow their
whistles. This very desirable unanimity
is brought about by little thing which
looks like toy brass cannon and which
cost the astounding sum Of 1925. How
foolishly some people eXpend Their
wealth, Now, it never appeared to Us to
make much difference what ii Ie it was
not to minute, and sometimes 1t is
very convenient not to be able to be so
exact. For instance, when the dinner has
been waiting, OF when lodge keeps in a
little later than 10 O'Clock. Hereafter
our little excuses are knocked IN the
head, all because Whitman must be so
puna.ua!. These astronomical tXings
may befIseful in New York and London,
but in quiet old Beaufort we are never
in such hurry. However: the transit
is here, and old Sol, the north star and
Whitman, between them, have got old
father Time down to dot.
