There seems TO he a misunderstanding.
arising either from ignorance or u mis-
conception OF the Five Commissioner I'LL,
with Tc@Tect to the appointment OF dcltn-
quent tax collectors aud the official tenure
of the present county treasurer The do
iinquent tax collectors are to he appoint
ed by the county treasurer and receiver OF
taxcs and the present county treasurer
remains IN Office until his successor. the
county treasurer and receiver Of taxe1, Ia
appointed By THO governor and assumes
charge of the Office. There need he no A.
nanciai interregnum, as some of the
members OF the Levy Court f0Hr,-EYery
Evening.
Where the Every Evening gets its au-
thority for saying that the delinquent
tax collectors are to be appointed by
the county treasurer and receiver OF
taxes we do not know, unless IL he
from the enrolled act full OF blottcd
''nots" On Saturday last tho Every
Evening published tho Tuli text of the
bill as it passed the Senate, and 1t af-
terwurd passed the HOUSE without any
change whatever. In that published
law is the following paragraph in Sec
ton s.:
That on all taxes paid before the
first day OF September there shall 10
an abatement of per cent ION all paid
before the first day OF November there
shall be an abatement Of per cent.
On all taxes unpaid on the first day of
September, per cent. shall DO added
thereto, and II unpaid on the first day
OF january next ensuing, the said dup
.leates, with the taxes that have been
raid, distinctly noted thereon, shRll
then be placed in the hands OF collee-
tors OF delinquent taxes, who shall be
appointed by the Commissioners, and
who shall have all the powers now con.
1erred by law upon collectors OF county
taxes.p
The foregoing ought to be explicit
snough to be understood by every
body. II there is anything in that sec.
tlon that looks like authorizing the
county treasurer and receiver OF taxes
to appoint the collectors OF delinquent
taxes, somebody with large maHnifying
glnsses will have to look for it without
those who cannot see it being accused
of either Ignorance or mlsconcep
ton of the Five Commissioner BILL"

The Southern States Of the Union
have entered into worthy enterprise
and one which will do them more per-
manent good than all the politics that
could by any means be crammed into
them. 1t has been arranged that a
permanent exhibition OF southern pro-
ducts and resources shall open at
Raleigh, North Carolina ON the four
teenth of next month, and then from
October first to December first spe-
cial interstate exhibition is TO be held.
The Southern exhibits are to be on the
agricultural and horticultural line, and
the exhibits of the North on the manu-
featuring line. Northern manufac-
turers are invited to join in the exhibit
ton with displays of goods, machln-
cry and labor saving devices of all
kinds.
While there is no necessity that ths
South should DO confined to agricul-
turo and the North to manufactures
the mingling together of both,sectious
cannot fall to lead to Il more closer
union OF interests between all parts OF
the country. Exhibit ons OF this sort
are very useful in showing ia what re.
spect one section of the Union can sup
ply the other section and thereby lead
to grestcr development of our coun-
try's resources. 1t is TO be hoped the
Northern manufacturers ana Southern
farmers will avail themselves of this
opportunity TO extend the material in.
4 interests Of both sections and thereby
bring the North and the South into a
more closer union by the strong ties
OF commercial interest.

IL Thomas Jefferson lived today,
he would not follow the Democrats
of Ohio in their advocacy of free silver
coinage. In 1906, during his Presi-
dency. he ordered the coinage OF silver
dollars stopped at the mints, in order
no prevent gold being driven out OF
the country. BE 1t remembered, too,
that the President has no authority
I'm law to give such an order. But so
great was the danger in his mind OF
putting the country on q silver basis.
that Jefferson exercised the power
unmindfui of the question whether he
had the authority, and no silver dol
lars were coined for the next twenty
years. The country approved of the
course he took. Now, the party which
claims him rs one OF it's fathers is
reversing his own course, and en-
deavoring to put the country on
silver basis; but the masses OF the peo-
pie stand now where the country did
then. They no more favor silver
basis in this year of grace 1891, than
did our great-graIdfathers in 1906
