The tax levy by the present Legislature
for the next year is as follows: For
State purposes, 81 mills; for Common
Schools, 2 mills; for Anderson County,
q mills. Total, l0l mills, against liz
mills last year, or II mills less than last
year. There is an Act, however, requir.
ing the County Commissioners of this
County to have the records Of the Clerks
Office reindexed, and leyying a special
tax for that purpose. We have not seen
this Act, but presume it is an additional
tax, which may increase our levy from
one.quarter to one -halfofone mill, but not
more than that. The levy was made
when it was expected to have the census
taken, so thauit will probably raise more
money than is appropriated, thereby
reducing the levy next year.

two railroads, through this section
Of the State, have, and what special
interest has the balance of the State
in it? / will tell you:
Hitherto the State has been big
at one end. All the growing in wealth
and population has been in the
Southern end of the State. The
multiplication of railroads in the
Kanawha valley has so increased the
power of that section that it has com
paratively deprecated this, and put
this end Of the State at disadvant-
age. 1t is now common to say that
the Third District holds the balance
of power. They come into our State
conventions claiming everything and
getting about all they claim. They
enforce their demands through the
argument that "you can't get along
without u.s." They put forward their
men for the offices and the demand
must be met or ''the strong hold Of
the party will go back on YOU"
Every year it has been growing more
evident that the northern districts of
the State must occupy and be con-
tent with back seat in the political
councils OF the State.
Railroads will change this. Rail
roads will revolutionize the political
situation. In a few years these en-
terprizes now maturing in this section
will establish better balance be-
tween the two ends of the State The
Second District especially, will loom
up. Its population will be speedily
multiplied and its political power
and Importance correspondingly aug
mented 1t will compel flair
divide" 1t will strengthen the forti-
fications Of the dominant party. 1t
will turn some of these old Republi-
can counties up-side-down; for where
railroads go Democratic majorities
follow, as kind Of logical sequence.
The locomotive is the great civilizer
and hence the railroad and Dcmoc-
racy go hand in hand. Look ont for
the locomotive and the revolution!

In view Of the increasing popular
ity of winter trips to the sea side and
to Florida, and the demand for round
trip tickets to the prominent resorts,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
commencing Tuesday January 1st
1884, will place on sale, at principal
stations, excursion tickets to Cape
May, Cape May Point, Atlantic City,
Old Point Comfort, Va, and Jackson
vile, Florida. These excursion tick
cts will be entitled TO all the priv
leges of other first class tickets, and
permit the holder to stop off en- route
where such privilege is granted on
other first class tickets The return
coupons of these tickets will be &C.
cepted until May 31st, 1884, except
those to Jacksonville, which under
certain circumstances, have special
limitations, details of which, as well
as copy of an illustrated pamphlet
containing rates and appropriate de-
scriptive matter, can be obtained up
on application to nearest ticket agent.
A very attractive book descriptive OF
the above Winter resorts has been
published by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company and can be procured
either by letter or person on applica-
tion to Thos. 4. Watt, Pass. Agt.,
Western Dist. Ito, Fifth Avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa.

Werise to inquire what has become
of the midland Railroad enterprisci
1t is time this company was max
ing some noise.
In this time of railroad booms it is
out Of order for any company to lose
its boomness.
We recall the fact that few
months ago the midland" furnished
all the railroad talk, all the railroad
fever, all the railroad racket and
rampage hcrcabouts.
We recall also, that one fine, cold
March day, squad of picked men,
with the shovel and the hoe, marched
up the creek, pursued by the bulk OF
the local population, and began to
dig.
They did dig!
And all the people stood about to
see tHein ulg.
1t was real, railroad dirt!
Their eyes had never beheld the
like before!
And with moist eyes and choked
utterance, as they stood about the
scene of that digging, they muttered
a fervent AMEN.
Then the diggers ceased. They
shouldered the shovel and the hoe,
and the immortal squad marched
back again from whence they came.
But before they left the engineer
in charge, inscribed placard or
finger board, such as are seen along
the sides of railroads to give instruc-
tions to the engineers in charge of
trains; and this placard was placed
upon a pole and planted at the end
of the digging, and read as follows:
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1884-02-02
The Right of Way Through
MOrgantOWn.

1t is being developed that the chief
difficulty the two railroads will en-
counter in the matter of rights Of
way will occur here in Morgantown.
1t is about the only point where
there is not abundance of room for
both roads without either neces-
sarily crowding the other or putting
it to any great disadvantage.
But we do not mean to intimate
that there is not plenty Of room even
through Morgantown, for both roads
if they want to find it. Yet there is
a greater difference in the choice OF
routes than at other points.
The Town Council has indicated
disposition to give all the facilities
it can to either road, although it has
been perplexing to make concessions
to either that did not give real or
apparent advantages to it's competi-
tor. We believe the Council has the
right spirit in the matter and is not
disposed to place distractions in the
way of either company, or grant ex-
elusive or unequal privileges to
either.
But, as we have said, there are
difficulties in the way of obtaining two
equally advantageous routes through
town. So long as the companies
themselves are unwilling TO make any
concessions each to the other, this
must necessarily be so.
Yet it should not be said that
either one Of two railroad companies
could not get practicable route
through Morgantown. They can do
it; and our people should interest
themselves in opening the way.
1t would be good move, probably,
and would show the right kind Of
| spirit, if a town meeting were called
and committee Of practical men
appointed to confer with the com
panies and assist in solving the diff
ficulties.
Neither of these companies is bound
to come through Morgantown, and il
is entirely within the province of the
| people Of the town to fold their hands
and sit quietly by aud see them pas.
around the town--if that is what thu
town wants.

FIRE LIKE HE'LL
FROM HERE TO
TOWNSVILLE.

Now, whether this fingcrboard was
intended to announce the completion
of the digging and the readiness of
the road for the engine, is question.
We presume that it may be inter
preted to mean that the company
does not propose to do any more dig
ging or grading but to depend on
the fireman to put on steam at the
point where the. grading ceased and
run up the grades to "Howesville"
under double header. Hence the
notice to the fireman.
This would be an economical meth
cd of building railraod and one on
which the Midland company should
procure a patent, if it succeeds.
But in any event we are anxious
to have the midland come to the
front again. We have warm side
for it. If it can climb the grade of
Decker's creek without any more
digging, let the experiment begin.
Secure your fireman.
If it proposes to do some more
grading, let it call out that immor-
tai squad again, and set them to
work.
At any rate let the midland" be
gin to make some noise.
