C5Y" Several hundred taxpayers
whose returns have been raised, havo
been notified by the Auditor that tho
Board Of Equalization will meet on
the 10th Of September. Now, it il
impossible to hear all these casos on
one day. The Board will sit three
weeks, and unless some regular pro-
gramme is adopted, the Office will be
throngcd day aftcr day BY Il crowd OF
weary taxpayers. 1t will be injustice
to every body. We suggest that the
board take Ito townships in regular
order aud give day or two to each
AS the Audi,or is ill, we suggest that
some other member of tho board ad.
vcrtisc some suoh arrangement. 1t
should be done i'm me iiately.
cEF~ The Enterprise and
Monntaincer suggests that the
Conservatives Of the Fourth Con-
greasional district send delegates
10 Columbia on the 2lta September
to noainatc candidate for Con-
gress.
II would be well 10 call q pub lie
meeting in Winnsbolo on The l2lh
September (lhc day the County
Union mcct>:) TO select three dele
gates to GO to Columbia on the 9Th.
Some persons arc opposed to the noi,ii
nations Icing made by the tax unions
and we should have no discussion.
Let public meeting be called.

mattel, game Of base ball was played
on Monday at Ridgcway, between
the Modocs of that place and the
Chickasaws Of Liberty Hill. AS
this was the first game Of tho season,
great interest was manifested. The
Chickasaws promptly came to time,
a Emo looking club. Rain began
falling, however, at midday, and it
seemed impossible to play. But at
half past two, it cleared up heauti.
fully and the ground was in good

put out, sending tho Chickasaws to
the field with IL score of three runs.
Cooper Of the Modocs went to the
bat, but opened play for bis side in.
auspiciously by going out. The
Modoca, remembering that ga
bad beginning makes good
ending" consoled tn m c | v c,s
with this crumb of comfort. II. G.
Davis reached. lis bast, and was
brought in BY Coleman. II. p. Davis
struck out. j. Q. Davis struck next,
and made two bases, bat before
reaching home, the sido was put out
by TX. e. Edmunds, Coleman having
scored the second run.
In the second inning, the Chicka.
saws were whitcwashed, Coleman, the
second bascman Of the Modocs, max

On tho. fourth, the Chickasaws
scored six runs. Again, Coleman n
caught IL fly on second base, forced
out player who had vacated second,
and threw to lsbell on the first base,
who put out 4 player who had left
