Tho County Taxes.

During the past month or more there
has been a great deal said concerning
the payment of taxes, when they would
become due, the penalties for nonpay-
ment and the time for which property
may be redeemed. Under the present
conditions of the country it is probable
that greater part of the taxpayers of
the country will be obliged to let their
taxes become delinquent and the prop
erty be sold. This condition would not
have prevailed, although the price of
grain is below the cost of production,
had it not been for the destruction of
the crops by rains. Under the circum-
stances the people must do the best they
can, and on account of the scarcity of
money the greater portion of the taxes
will necessarily become delinquent. For
several weeks some of the farmers and
others have been trying to devise some
means of having the time for the pay
ment of taxes extended, but there is no
getting around the law and payment
must be made on the second Monday in
December, which is the 18th. The time
of sale of property must not take place
in less than forty days nor more than
fifty from date of delinquency. When
the taxes become delinquent penalty
of ten per centum and fifty cents for
each piece or parcel of land separately
assessed must be added; besides when
the property is redeemed, the purchaser
must pay fee of $3.50 for certificate.
When the property is not taken by the
county in payment of the taxes, and
bought by some person, the owner re
deeming must, in addition to the pur-
chase price and expenses, pay the pur
chaser twenty-five per cent. thereon.
The property may be redeemed within
one year from date of sale, but il not
redeemed within six months, the tax
collector must make a deed to the
purchaser. On all personal property, in
addition to the costs rs above, interest
at the rate of two per cent. must be col
lected. The total penalty attached
amounts to abont Is or 30 per cent. on
the taxes as before delinquency.-Mos

ENeLAND's BANK RUMoRs.
Chief Cashier Mays Course Under a

London, Nov. 1S.-The Economist says
to-day, in an article concerning the ru-

chief cashier, was brought about owing
to the character Of certain transactions
in securities, with one or more trust com
panies, which he sanctioned. In re-
gard to these transactions we understand
that something graver than mere fault of
Judgment was connected, Mr. May, it
would appear, not only exceeded his au-
thority but also acted in manner which
he must have known was contrary TO the
regulations by which the bank is gov

would now be ungenerous to dwell upon
the matter, and, after all, the question is
whether the bank knowingly lent support
to the companies whose financial methods
proved TO be of such very
dubious nature. That is the gist Of
the imperfectly formulated charges which
one hears. 1t is satisfactory, therefore,
to be able to say that as far as we can as
certain, such rumors are unfounded. AS
regards the responsibility of the direc-
tors we believe that no greater respou-
sioility attaches to the individual than
to the whole board. Therefore we may
lay aside the rumors of impending resig-

FIGHTING FREE ORE AND COAL
Southern Manufacturer Appeal to
Their Congressrnen.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Southern manu-
facturers, who are pronounced against the
abolition of the duty on iron ore and coal
have issued public statement appealing
TO the Democratic party for protection
for the several hundred millions of dol
lars invested in manufactures and miner
alties in the New South within the past
fifteen years. The statement is an appeal
to democrats generally, and to the manu-
facturers of the west and south for Coop
GRAFTON in resisting any legislation
having Tor its object the plac-
ing Of iron ore and coal on the free list
and contains long argument against such
propositions. The following extracts
from the statement viii serve to give its
purpost: at is far more important to
defend money that has already been in
vested under the tariff on ore and coal
than to attempt to build up the manufac-
ture of iron in those parts Of the country
from which it was slowly passing by the
operation of natural causes. The state of
Michigan produces more iron ore today
than all the states put together, emitting
Minnesota, and if free iron ore
is to be isued she will need
to look to her supremacy. South
ern iron men have resolved to resist
repeal, forgetting for moment all differ
ences of political belief and mindful only
of that better and more stable thing, to
wit, domestic prosperity Millions of
dollars have been lavished in the south in
the mining of iron ore and coal on the
supposition, and reasonable one, too
that they would not be put in jeopardy in
the house of their friends. If the duty is
repealed and there should follow the erec-
tion of furnaces on the coast, as is now
anticipated, what is to become of the in
vestments already madei 1t is easy
enough to say, after the furnaces have
been blown out and rolling mills closed
down, that mistake has been made, but
that will not repair the wrong,

Col. O'Ferrall says that the admins

1t has not yet been officially decided
but it seems probable that Col. O'Ferrall
will be inducted into Office with military
honors by troops from various sections of
the state, and that he will deliver pub
lie address on the occasion. He will
leave for Washington tomorrow. He
will be in his seat in the House at the
converting of congress, and will continue
to serve the Seventh district until the
adjournment of the Christmas recess
when he will resign, return to his home

LINING UP FOR 1890.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-Chairman
Harrity, ex-Postmaster General Don M.
Dickinson, ex-Assistant Secretary of
State Josiah Quincy, ex-Congressman B.

of Illinois, and other prominent democrats,

ences in this city, at which a suggestion
that the headquarters Of the democratic
national committee be opened here
was discussed and considered.
The proposition is that the demo
cratic national committee shall
give some attention to the elections of
1894, with view of having a systematic
campaign made. The matter is to be
further considered, and is likely to take
definite shape soon. All the gentlemen
named left for their homes this evening,
but the statement as to their purpose to
make concerted effort to check the
further progress of the recent landslide
was obtained authoritatively. They were
all at the white house to-day.
