LOOK OUT FOR THEM This part of
the country is afflicted with deaf and dumb,
blind and all other sorts, kinds and condi-
tons of professional beggars, who have be-
come an intolerable nuisance. Last Fri
day strolling vagabond, hale and
hearty young fellow, who had been visiting
different houses and making known his
wants in sweet, flowing Italian and swear
ing in plain, unmistakable English when
his demands were refused, ran afoul of
Mayor Boyd, who after taking from him
'begging book" and number of sheets
printed in English and German, started
him across the bridge, with warning not
to return. One of these printed sheets,
headed ITO the Benevolent" was sewed in
the book, and the others were slowed about
in his clothes, to be used as needed. They
told the sad story that the wife of the bear
er, Joseph Soracco, had died, leaving two
children and an old aged father and mother
for him to support. Whatever else may be
said, it must be admitted that it is a mighty
mean wife who will up and die without max
ingprovisions for thesupport of her husband,
leaving him to be knocked about through
the world and look out for himself as best
he may; and what shall be thought of one
who leaves two small children besides "old
aged" parents for him to look after besides :?
This is what the agitation OF the woman
question" is bringing US to-!
Later in the Afternoon a younger pal of
the Aforesaid bereaved husband applied to
Mayor Boyd for the begging book. He, al
80, was started to the other side of the riv-
er, but wasobserved to join soracco, who had
come again to this side. Both we're over
hauled by policeman Marthalar and Jimmy
Boyd, and thoroughly searched; but as
they undoubtedly remit promptly" little
was found on their persons. soracco point
ed heavenward, crossed himself repeatedly
and forgot to swear in English. The young
er one said they were. from Saltwater
which was undoubtedly true; and they had
probably left without permission of the
Warden. After being kept in jail for a
few hours, they were put on the other side
of the river.
These chaps are thieves as well as beg
gars, and should be watched. It is always
safe to spot fellow who comes around with
printed begging paper as scoundrel,
and to boot him off ones premises.

A Comparison Completed.

Governor Moses in his annual message COM
pared the relative amounts paid TO sustain their
State governments by the citizens of Massachu-
setts and South Carolina. ,; log H. :.
His comparison seemed to prove that the ad-
vantage was altogether in favor of our State.
He said that while each citizen of Massachu-
setts, man, woman and child, was called upon
to pay about FIVE dollars to the State, that in
South Carolina each man, woman and child
paid But about three dollars. His figures may
be right enough, but he should have pursued
his cyphering little further. The wealth or
taxable property of Massachusetts was at low
valuation given in 1870 as s., ,591 1888, H. and
her population 1,457,351. So that if every
man, woman and child were to take his share
of this wealth be would have 81 ,093.75. South
Carolina, whose wealth is estimated at an ex-
cessive valuation at $lS3, 1897, has a popula.
ton of 7O5,606. Every man, woman and
child, therefore, in a division, would be en-
titled to but $26O.64. From such compare
son it will be seen that when the Massachusetts,
man is called upon to pay his FIVE dollar tax
he has nearly eleven hundred dollars worth of
good property on hand to pay it with, while
the South Carolinian when called upon for his
three dollar tax has only two hundred and sixty
dollars worth of comparatively unproductlve
and doubtful assets 10 meeG LUG AuPoiIun"eo
call of the tax collector.
There is another difference, too, which is i'm
portant to be remembered, and to which Gov.
Moses failed to call our attention. The taxes
of Massachusetts are properly expended. Her
citizens do not feel when they are handing
over their money that they are pouring water
into seive. They see it expended in such noble
public works as the Hoosac Tunnel in elegant
school buildings in sustaining literally the
public charities; in preserving public order,
and in a general sustenance of credit and repu-
tation of State worthy of the pride with
which its citizens regard it.
How differently the taxpayer of South Car
olina feels we need not tell.-Port Royal Com

a SUBLIME REAsoN.-A new contributor at
Dover, N. H., sends us the following anecdote !:
In Durham, few miles .hom here, lived ed; q
severe old fellow, whom the world called "El-
der Pratt" who got the title from his very
grave manner, which was carried into all the
details of life. There were times when he
would succumb to the tempter, bat even. when
inebriated, ne would preserve the SAM grave
demeanor toward his neighbors and associates,
but to his family at home he was at times very
aeyere. One Saturday night the neighbors were
disturbed by the shrieks Of his wife, and going
in they found the 'Elder" belaboring his better
half with bride. "Hellow cried one of
them, "what's the matter Elder? what are you
doing that for?" ''Pm endeavoring," said ne,
with great deliberation, the bride still suspen-
ded, "to impress upon her mind the great fact
that there's God in Israel"

STRANGE SCENE IN CoURT.-The Vicksburg
Miss Herald reports the following disgrace
full scene as having occurred at the State capi-
tai on the 9th inst. "It is no secret, we believe,
that Chief Justice Peyton and Justice Simrall
have enot maintained the most pleasant relations;
with Justice Tarbell, and it has been rumored
that the two former have been in the habit Of
indulging in language highly derogatory to the
latter. Last Monday, as the members Of the
court, all of whom were present, were about
leaving the consultation chamber for the court
room, Chief Justice Peyton suggested q, delay,
in order that he might proceed to designate
reporter Of the decisions of the Supreme Court,
position recently made vacant by the resigna-
tion of Joshua S. Morris, the late Attorney
General. To this proposition, the report that
reaches us goes on to say, Justice Tarbel re-
sponded by saying: I see no necessity for my
remaining, as understand the person who is
to be made reporter has already been deter
mined on, and my vote, no matter how cast,
cannot change the resultv Chief Justice Pey-
ton, who is by no means the sweetest-tempered
man living, took umbrage at this remark, and
proceeded to manifest his indignation in Ian.
guage much more forcible than polite. We
are ignorant Of the precise words used by Chief
Justice Peyton, but it. is understood that some
of the terms applied BY him to Justice TaTbell
induced that flnctionary to make. q step for
ward, Mistaking this for hostile movement,
our, amiable Chief Justice at once prepared for
action With promptness and celerity that
would do no discredit to q much younger man,
heidrew his knife and presented arms to JUS
tice Tarbell, and but for the prompt interfer-
ence of Justice Simrall, it is believed that the
floor Of the temple of justice would have been
stained with the blood Of one Of its own minis
