The AbbeyiIle Medium says tha

The AbbeviIle Medium says that the
reform legislature has reduced taxes
and cites as an instance that the levy
in Abbeville County is now 81 mills,
whereas under the former adminlstra-
ton it was III mills. l. is not tie
amount Of the levy that shows eeono-
my, but the amount of appropriations
AS the amount Of property increases
the levy decreases, but a lower levy
may bring more money The question
we would like to have our contempo-
rary answer is whether the approprla-
ton bill is less than formerly, and also
to show US where the saving in expen-
ditures comes in. That is the place to
test the matter, 81 mills may raise more
money than IL mills.

NEWBERRY HERALD AND NEWS,

When Governor Tillman was giving
out the impression tnat there would
be no extension in the time for paying
taxes, he himself took advantage OF the
information in his possession and dld
not pay his own, and the evidence Is
has not vet paid them. The State was
in need of mouey and Gov. Tillman
wanted other people to come up like
men and help the State out, but he dld
not pay his own. Well this reminds Us OF
a good old brother Of whom we have
heard, who once preached in the lower
section of this county. He was sad 10
be a good preacher when it came to
precept, but not much by example,
and he realized this fact himself. He

cept such as is merely routine. The
publication of his tax returns and the
expenditures Ui he money for repairs,
improvements, ETC., to the executive

does not like it. Ordinarily these mat
ters would not have been published,
but these are extraordinary times, and
under all the circumstances are but
what we might expect. But then our
Governor should not be angry. A man
who lives in glass houses should not

The Greenville News is urging upon
the press of the State the Importance
of working up an interest in the matter
of having South Carolina represented
at the Worlds Fair in 1898. 1t will oe
remembered that the Legislature-the
supposed representatives Of the people
refused to make the small approprla-
ton of $4,000 III order to have the
State represented. The Herald and
News believes the State ought to be
represented on that occasion. 1t be-
lieves the Legislature did not repre-
sent the sentiment Of the people in re-
fusing to make the appropriation for
that purpose. 1t is willing and ready
now, however, to do whatever it can to
aid in having the State properly repre-
sented.
Now, if the News will just formulate
some plan we will give it what cooper
alton is in our power to carry 1t to a
successful termination.

HE EOYCOTTS THE STATE.
The Publication of the Disbursement OF the
Et.ndS for improvements to the En-
ecutive Mansion the Cause.
THE State, 18th.

1t was the last straw.
Governor Tillman cuts the State rep
resentative off from receivlngan news
from himself outside Of strictly routine
matters OF the outer offices which come
indirectly from him.
The recent show-up Of his private
official transactions is the cause, and in
the future-until after November next,
perhaps-he declines to be interview ed
or questioned on any matter OF public
interest. He has presumably forgotten
that he is the Governor of the State, III
his prospective candidacy, and says his
mind is "religiously made up"
On Friday night the States represe2-
tative saw him for the first time since
the publication of the exposes and
when he began to question the Gov
ernor he was informed that be had de-
cided not to say anything for publlca-
ton in the State in the future. lie
said the '.joggling board and comb"
matters were the last straw on the
came's back and it had broken. He
could stand a good deal, but that was
too much. Said he: "Iou come to me
when you get on decent paper and
will give you every thing that l can
and treat you as do all other newspa-
per men,"
Yesterday when approached in his
office as usual he said: "Iou are mere
ly wasting breath by asking any ques-
tions concerning matters for publlca-
ton. I tell you now that 1 do not
intend to have anything more to say
for a paper which has so far forgotten
the bounds of decency, as to flourish
about the private transactions and tax
returns of man. In the future you
are welcome to all routine matters such
as appointments and many other mat
ters that go into the secretary ofState's
office, but you need not expect any
thing more from me. I have nothing
against you personally, but think well
of you, and l do this, not against you,
but I hereafter cut you as the repre-
sentative Of your paper. have rell,
giougly made up my mind to this ana
will not change it,"
The above are the facts Of this re-
markable transaction, and the local
man has nothing more to say beyond
the fact that he has always given what
the Governor had to say on any matter
with fairness as absolute as to any man
with whom be has ever dealt, and this
fact the candidate of '92 will hardly
denV
