BOISE sentinel.
The enforcement of the law as it
now reads amounts to virtual
confscation of the property and
homes of thousands of our people.
All taxes will be delinquent on the
second Monday of December, and
if not paid by that time, ten per
cent. penalty, and 81 for advertis-
ing, will be added. Immediately
after the sale takes place, another
penalty of % per cent. is added,
and another dollar charged for tax
sale certificate. Say that mans
taxes amounts to $50, his account
will run this way:
Taxes, $50 90
Advertising, 90
Ten per cent. added, 3 90
Certificate of sale, | 90
Twenty-Five per cent. added, s so
Total, $43 80
This must be paid within one
year from the date of sale or title
passes to the purchaser. Any one
can see that this amounts to confis-
cation, with money scarce as it is
now. Give the taxpayers until
this financial storm passes over,
then they can pay; at present they
cannot, and as consequence thou
sands will be driven from their
homes by the cruel edict of the
State whose duty it is to protect
them.
The Sentinel then advocates q
special session of the legislature to
extend the time for paying taxes.

Millions in It.

From tine to time, we have thrown
out hints to the effect that the fruit
and vegetable canning Industry il
one of the most profitable enterprises
that could be conducted in the South.
This industry started less than fifty
years ago, when a man in Pannsylv,.
MIA began to put up tomatoes in tin
cans at so cents can, and, in 1887,
the total output yearly reached 3,O00,.
900 cases of two dozen cans EACH
The output of last year was 3,366,090
cases, New Jersey and Maryland fur.
nishing about half the total product
of the country. Competition, it
should be said, has reduced the price
of single can of tomatoes from SO
to Z cents.
Every thing eatable is canned
these days--all kinds of fruits, veg
eiables, soup, baked beans, plum
puddings and meats. The demand
increases from year to year, and no
canning establishment, properly man
aged, ever fails. The business is
fairly profitable everywhere, and in
the great fruit-growing and truck
farming regions of the South it
should find its natural home.-TAt

Atlanta Constitution: Common
sense ought to come to the rescue of
those who have been dazed or deciev-
ed by the fne-spun theories of civil
service reform. The people have en-
dorsed the democratic party and its
principles. There are the offices to
be filed. Other things being equal,
why should they not be filed by
democrats rather than republicans?
Why should a candidate for high
office be applauded as patriot, while
the applicant for a smaller place is
denounced as spokesman? Ifthere
were no honest and efficient demo-
crats-if partisanship were not nec-
essary to the life of political organ
ization-if there were no parties, the
country being managed by dictator
or by board of trustees-we should
subscribe most heartily to the doc
trines of modern civil service reform.
But as long as parties are necessary
to the purity of our government and
to the success of our republican sys-
tenn, we shall protest when the mod
est expectations of democrats are
fouted by those who enjoy Office as
the result of the partisan activity {

Our Roads.

From Northwestern Agricultur
There are two points in the agita-
ton for good roads have been thus
far been lost sight of. One is that
the toWnsmen are quite as much in-
terested in having good roads lead
ing from the country to the town, as
the farmers are to have good roads
to haul their products. Many q
Northwestern town has died because
rival tapped its trade by building
good roads into territory naturally
tributary, and some of the best and
thriftiest towns are prospering be-
cause leading business men were
sagacious enough to encourage and
help build good roads. Many town
about to 60 into decline, has taken
new lease of life by buying a road
grader and furnishing it free to any
road district that would use it to build
a good road leading it's way. Any
town consulting its own interest will
keep its streets passable and encour-
age good roads radiating in every
direction.
The other point that has been
largely overlooked is that main roads,
such as the National and State roads,
in Europe and in our older States, are
no longer necessary, the railroads
having supplanted all 'long hauls
by wagon. It is now only necessary
to have good roads leading from
farming districts to convenient points
touched by railroad. Such roads will
never be subjected to such heavy
traffic as once passed over the "turn-
pixies" in the days of the stage coach,
and it is not Necessary that the roads
shonld be constructed at so great a
cost. Many portions of these roads
need little or no work to make them
permanently good. Other places need
draining and filing up, and yet is is
not unusual to see work wasted or
portions that need none, and the
spots that need great care and judg
ment left half built in consequence
There is no subject which demands
the application of more common sense
and good level headed judgment thar
road making, and it is not far from
the truth to say that in nothing els'
is so much labor wasted and so LITTLE
common sence used as in directing
the working out of the road tax.

The Washington (Ga.) Chronicle
hits the nail on the head in regard
to the immigration question. Speak
ing of the plan of village farming
advocated by Prof. H. G. White, of
the University. II says:
eve think nothing would do Wilkes
county more good than to receive
supply Of good immigrants. If our
people could sell off a portion of
their lands, pay mortgages, diversity
crops by having fruit farms, make
cotton surplus crop and fill up the
vacant spaces in the county we could
realize the plan of Prof. White. The
country would be so thickly settled
that it would be like big village
and bring US all the advantages
which would come from what he calls
village farming"
The Monroe (Ga. Advertiser speak
ing on the same line says:
"Almost everywhere in the rural
districts of the South are to be seen
strongest evidences proving that the
development of our Southern resour-
ces is greatly retarded because we
have not sufficient population. There
are in this Southland thousands o.
what may be very properly termed
waste places that would be prosper
Gus and profitable if occupied by in
dustrions energetic, working people
In these places are sufficient induce
ments to draw this class of people i
they were properly made known"
