TAX SALES.
The high rate of interest charged by
law for the non-payment of taxes, which
is twenty-four per cent, when the law
was passed was intended as penalty to
more surely secure the payment of the
tax, but has failed of its object and has
been taken advantage of by home and
foreign capitalists, and has become .
burden instead of blessing to the state.
I shall favor . law placing the rate Of
of interest that all tax sale certificates
shall bear at not to exceed twelve per
cent.
I am in favor of resubmitting the pro-
hibitory amendment, believing the peo-
pie have . night to be heard on this
question.

"LAuRENs, S. c., June 4, 1890.
EDear Sir-I'hc defeat of 1Iolb,
for Governor of Alabama, by com
bination of political tricksters, should
teach the friends Of Captain Tillman
that eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty AS they value their lives,
liberty, homes and reputation, 50
should they be ready to guard against
tho insidious devices of their oppo-
nents.
"Evcry1 township and neighbor-
hood in the State should be thor
oughly organized into Democratic
clubs. The officers should be truly
loyal to the platform Of principles
enunciated by tho March Conven-
ton.
"rho battle cry of sAny6ody to
beat 1flmaa, must be kept constant
ly in view, and every voter must be
at his post first, last and all the time
TO controvert this hopcd-for result,
and none must be permitted to pass
unless they are properly vouchcd for.

$50 we find these State officers, l
mention their names with fear and
trembling, making this sort of a
showing about tho same matter OF
public expenditure in official records.
The Treasurer charges the bureau
with $3.50 more than it acknow-
ledges to have spent, over $4,000
than the Comptroller says it spent.
The Comptroller charges il with 3d.
242 more than it acknowledges to
have spent, and yet all tho books OF
these officers tally. They would
not do SO if any charges were made.
Had these officers made mistakes, or
IS there oon,etIti,y rotten n Den
mark 3 Has the Bureau spent more
than it accounts forp If the agri-
cultural departments accounts arc
correct, how will the Comptroller
and Treasurer straightcn their own +?
Col. Moore was particular to men
ton vouchers, although the Bureau,
prior to 1887, spent over 100000
without ever showing single vouch-
or. Is tho desperate and unscrupu-
lous warfare urged against mo made
lest a thorough oycrhauling of tho
State Government might show
something acrong someaohere 2"
Who believes that any thing is
wrong with these officers, or that
"there is something rotten in Den
mark" with them? Comptroller
General Werner in his speech at
Grccnville showed up how the above
discrepancy occurred, without even
having to refer to his books. He cx-
plain, that it happened by the
balances being carried ovcrto the next
year None Of the peoples money
had been spent for "bccr" and no
body stole a cent 1t all went III its
appropriate channel
We understood that this was to be
a campaign of education, but there
is manifcstly a disposition on the
part of many to hear none but one
side. The conduct at Laurcns was
disgraceful, and it is to be hoped
that it will not be repeated ut any
other place in the State. We are
all Democrats, and justice, fairness
and .cccncy demand that all be
given an equal right to free speech
and an honest expression of opinion.
