"REFORM" COMES HIGH.

Those persons who. have paid their
taxes this year have realized what
reform has done for them in the
matter of reducing taxation. The total
assessment. has been increased during
these years of reform, which of itself
would increase the amount collected,
and along with this increase the levy
has been increased. The levy for State
purposes is one mill more this year
than last. The county levy for next
wear will have to be increased
three quarters of mill. 1t will take
nearly half a mill to make up the
deficit and half mill more to Meet
ordinary expenses. Itwas put too low
and in consequence the county had to
run its operations on credit. We told
the people last year that the reduction
of the levy was only an apparent
and temporary saving and in the end
they would have to make it good by
additional levies. They are now where
they can see and realize the truth of
what we then told them. It would be
interesting next summer to have some
reform orator take the tax receipts OF
this year and compare them with
those of last year and show the voter
how reform had saved him money.
We wonder how many will do it.
But then reform is beautiful and
lovely thing and we must have it even
if it does come high.
The people are now beginning to re-
alize some of that 100000 that Gov.
Tillman told US in 1890, when he was
at Newberry, that he was going to
save the people if he were elected Gov
ernor. Many of those who were present
will remember this promise. The saw
ing is of different kind from what
many expected. 1t is in the shape of
increased taxes.
If there has been any reduction OF
taxation anywhere, or any reduction of
expenditures, over what was collected
and expended during the term of the
old ring rule, The Herald and News
would be glad to have it pointed out.
We will take pleasure in publishing
the fact. Will not the esteemed Reg
lister, or some other reform organ, tell
us where the reduction has come in.

WHITE MAN TODE HANGED.
Sullivan, the Murderer of Gijreatb, Sen-
fenced to Death.

GREENvILLE, November GA spe-
cial to the News says: J. Minis Sullivan
was to-day sentenced by Judge Wal
lace at Anderson, S. c., to be hanged
December - for the murder of Her
man G. Gilreath.
The crime was committed in the
main street in Greenville in June, 1892.
the case being removed TO Anderson Oh
a change Of venue. Both men were Of
middle age and members of wealthy,
widely connected and influential fami-
lies. The trouble between them grew
from a trivial quarrel over Gilreath
tossing an empty bottle into SuIlivan's
ward. The removal to Anderson was
on the ground that Gllreath's brother
is sheriff of this county, and part of his
official duty is to assist in drawing
Jurors.

It is too bad. The editor of The
Herald and News never held but one
Office in all his life, and now here
comes Gov. Tillman aud with one
blow declares that vacant. Our bright
hopes of promotion and honors and
laurels have all been blotted out at one
fell stroke of his official axe. It is too
bad.
Up to this time this office has been
one mostly Of accommodation and not
of profit. Possibly that is the manner
in which we have abused it. By
swearing people and making no charges
for our labor. If we have been guilty
of any other malfeasance we are not
aware of it, and if we had just known
it We would in every case have made
the charge.
Now, Governor, we have no $3.l2 to
put in your treasury for reappointment
rs notary public, taking it for granted
we could get the recommendation and
that you would appoint US. We have
not lost our commission. But we will
have to do without one in the future.
Governor, we would like to know if
this is 8 scheme for revenue. If not
recommend to the Legislature that all
such commissions expire with The
term of the Governor appointing them.
That would possibly be good scheme.

CONSTABLES AND SPIES.
The Governor Explains the Difference be-

TThe State, 5th.l

Governor Tillman, when asked yes
terday if he cared to say anything IN
reply to Mr.. Garlington's last card in
regard to the constable arrest matter at
Spartalnburg, said that he did not
care to have anything more to say in
regard to tho matter for publication.
In general talk on the subject OF con-
stables and spies he drew a distinction
between the two, saying that the regu.
lar coustables held commissions and
had a right to make arrests, while the
many men to whom he has offered S25
for proof to convict any one Of selling
LIQUOR have no authority to make
arrests or anything of that kind and
were, strictly speaking, genuine spies.

Great is the Dispensary law. 1t not
only lessons crime, improves the morals
of the country, promotes temperance
and makes revenue for the State, but,
according to the Register, it "has i'm
proved business and will steadily better
the character of the citizens" This
being the case there should never more
be heard the cry of hard times but
every one should come along aud pay
what he owes and be happy. What is
the use to complain so long as we have
the Dispensary with US.

We publish this week some racy talk

We publish this week some racy talk
between Editor J. G. Darlington, OF
the Spartanburg Herald, and Governor
Tillman. 1t is a great pity that any
one should have provocation or cause
of any kind to write about one holding
the high office of Governor of once
proud State, as Mr.. Darlington does ol
Gov. Tillman.- But then the person
holding this office should not give occa-
sion for such remarks. Gov. Tiliman
was wrong in this case. He should
never have permitted himself to de-
scend to the use of such language as be
did, even if be had had the facts on
his side. He should now, like true
man, admit his error and make the
amende honorable.
We cannot but conclude that Mr.
Darlington has the better of The Gov
ernor in this case, and we think that
any fair minded and upprejudiced man
must reach the same conclusion.
Henderson was in the employ of the
State and had been in correspondence
with the Governor, and while be may
not have been, literally speaking, com
missioned constable, yet he was au'
thorized to act for the State and was
offered pay for it.
Now if Gov. Tillman had wanted to
do the fair thing he should have stated
the facts instead of denounceng the
special as he did, and that would have
been the end OF it. He was in reality
a State spy. Gov. Tillman or the
State could not have been held respon-
sible for his bad conduct. Gov. Till
man is liable TO get some bad men.

That the right foot is, like the right
hand, ordinarily more mobile and at the
same time stronger than the left might be
attributed to the more frequent exertion
Of this side, were it. not that the peculiar
fly is said to extend itself even to the con-
stitution, and the left extremities are as
serted to be more liable todisease than the
right. The more difficult movements Ia
stage dancing are usually executed upon
the right foot, and it is generally consid-
cred that unless double practice be accord
ed to the left leg an ungraceful preference
for the right will be shown by the dancers
In their public performances.
Most people tread more firmly with the
right than with the left foot. There seems
to be greater capacity for propelling the
body with the right foot; from this the
horseman springs, with his left in the
stirrup. and unless left handed no boy la
his play hops naturally upon the left foot.

1t has been thought, or rather, more cor
rectly speaking, only fondly hoped, by the
learned men throughout Christendom
that among the rubbishy chronicles Of the
Kairouin there would some day be found
the missing classics, the lost books OF
Euclid and Of Livy, among others. Indeed
in some of the more ancient books Of travel
on Morocco it Is expressly stated that many
Of the manuscripts that were saved from
the burning Of the Alexandrian library
were taken to Seville, Granada and Fee.
In weighing these statements think it
should be remembered that the Kairouin
was founded at the very least 100 years
after the fire that was so disastrous to
learning, and that these manuscripts
would have had lot Of knocking about
before they found n home on the shelves
in the subterranean cellars of the Kairouin.
| think it possible that on leaving Seville
and Granada the Moors may have brought
with them to Morocco many of the precious
volumes which are known 10 have been ia
these libraries, but which have now dis
appeared. -Fortnightly Review.

There are multitudinous small things
which, as little man, one would suppose
must press heavily upon an eminent poll
tician. He must be civil TO all men--civ-
iler perhaps to the fools than 10 any. The
fools he has always with him-always.
The eminent politician must serve as the
especial butt to- vast and wonderful array
of bores How he must despise the large
majority Of his so called followers! With
what scorn he must regard them in his
heartl And yet how he has to go out Of
his way TO solicit the favor Of their vote
and INTEREST," How he has sometimes to
palter with lie-he must havei How he
must be all things 10 all men!
He is an actor as much as any actor that
ever trod the mimic stage, and be he sick
or sad he has to give satisfaction to the
audience in front, il ne would keep his
situation. He has to struggle and strive
to keep in his hands the ends of fifty diff
ferent strings which are being pulled in
fifty diffeEsnt directions, and preserve his
balance and his head amid them all
And what is the end OF it2 What is thu
reward of the eminent politiciani II is

Is amazed to think that any man should
think 1t worth his while to pay the penal
ties Of political greatness-All the Year
