press and the citizens generally, and it Is ex-
Rected that at least 500 representatives will
DO in attendance. Each State will be repre-
sented by its own delegation, bringing a
suitable and emblematic banner with ap-
propriate notices. Those for South Caro-
lima and Georgia are the handiwork Of Miss
Lizzie Chaplin, aud show exquisite taste and
skill.
The South Carolina banner is made of the
finest and heaviest blue silk, about by 8
feet in size, surrounded by a deep gold

palmetto. Above it in gold letters are the
words: "South Carolina W. c. 7. T." and

A Man Tries to Pass a Raised Bill
on Ticket Agent Brewer.
Assistant ticket agent Of the Central
railroad Brewers quick eye saved him s45
yesterday morning. He was selling tickets
in the Office at the depot for the early
morning train. There was a crowd at the
window when q neatly dressed young man
slipped In IRON the wrong side of the rail-
ing and asked for ticket as IL In hurry,
holding out a bill in his hand.
Mr.. Brewer told him TO go around on the
other side Of the railing and take his turn.
When 1t came his turn be called for a
ticket to Augusta and threw down q bill on
the window shelf, saying that be was in a
hurry. The bill was mutilated, the right
hand corner being torn of, which attracted
Mr.. Brewers attention, and he saw that
while the Dill bore the figure "50n on its
face on the left hand, there was only "V''
10 the corner. In fact, it was five dollar
bill which had been raised to "hfty"
MI Brewer quietly passed out 81 o., the
change for IS bill, and gave the young
man a look In the face that gave him to un-
derstand that be was "onto bis little game"
The stranger picked up his change and
moved of without saying a word.
Mr.. Brewer said that he would have
endeavored to have had the man arrested,
Oub SueIo was no one IN the ONCE except
himself and no policeman near by. Before
he could have shut down bis window
and gotten out of the Office the man
would have had plenty of time to get away
The bill was shown to a MORNING News
reporter 1t made a good appearance at
first sight and as calculated to deceive
man on such an occasion as that upon which
it was offered to the ticket agent, but it was
really clumsy piece Of work
The bill was a IS silver certificate. A
piece of the right nand corner had been torn
| off, leaving just the edge of the Nv" on the
| corner visible. A cipher had been let into
the bill by the side of the figure five
on The left hand side of the bill,
making a very respectable So The
work was not well done and there was
thickness where the cipher mad been let In
and slit where the paste had not taken
hold. A good look at the bill, however,
showed very plainly, the "V's' in the COR
ners and the words five dollars" on the
border. The bill can be redeemed at bank
for the IS which the agent gave for it, The
sharper struck the wrong man, and is doubt
less thankful that he is still free.

PAYING IN TAXES SLOWLY.
The Rush Not Yet Begun at the Tax
Collectors Office.

1ne Susn MOI CT Begun at the Tax
Collectors Office.
Tax Collector J. J. MCGOWAN says that
the taxes are being paid very slowly, and
up to yesterday only small proportion of
the total amount due had been paid. Very
few Of The large taxpayers have paid, and
only small number of the business men of
the city are included among those who have
paid.
They will wait until the last moment
and then come rushing In here in a crowd,
when it will be almost impossible to wait
upon them all" said Capt. McGowan.
The tax collector is anxious that the tax
payers should pay up promptly, as the
books close early in December, and the time
remaining IL just about sufficient to con-
veniently handle the large number who are
owing taxes. According to the law inter
est is charged at the rate of per cent. after
the books close.
Parties who are required to pay poll tax
must pay their taxes now in order to regis
ter and vote in the January election. A
great many are under the impression that
the poll tax is only required of those who
wish TO register or vote. but this is q mis-
take. The law requires the poll tax of
every male resident, citizen or foreigner,
between the ages of 81 and 60, as the tax is
levied for educational purposes.

The Appraisers Did Agree.

Editor Morning Net0s: The appraisement
Of the land for right Of way, etc., between
George Parsons ami Henry Ambos was
made under written agreement between
the parties for an exchange Of land. The
agreement provided that majority of the
appraisers might decide the matter, and the
appraisers rendered a decision fixing the
difference in favor Of Ambos at 5000. This
matter had been under submission for seven
months, and the appraisers had to bestow a
great deal Of time and attention upon the
matter, their last sitting consuming the best
part of two days, without an adjournment
for dinner. When the dissenting appraiser
declined to receive compensation one of the
other appraisers was heard to jocularly re-
mark that perhaps if he was adequate to the
