WHEREIN HIGGINS
Wants to Know Have the Bank
erS and Farmers Combined?

ers and Farmers Combined7
Twelve thousand dollars was paid
in gold to one lot Of farmers for
cotton in Hillsboro q short time
ago. A careful estimate was made
and only $40 Of this sum was spent
in that town out of this $4,000. A
party VINO saw the geld paid to the
farmers says be saw a knowing
wink pass from the banker to the
farmer receiving the gold, which
indicated mutual understanding"
These words were told the proprie.
tor of this house. This added to
the fact that the bankers and farm
ers seem to be the only people who
have money and added to the
further fact of Sc much more gold
being paid out than usual, These
things led us to ask the question.
Have the farmers and merchants
combined? Is there mutual I'm.
derstanding, by which the bankers
and farmers, working to each Others
hands are to control the money of
this country? Gold is much easier
handled than any other money.
The banks insist on handling or
paying gold for cotton. BY mutual
understanding this gold seems to be
returned to the banks by the farm
ers which would indicate great con-
tidence by the farmers in the banks.
If this farmers and bankers combi-
nation is true, then it would appear
that the farmers and bankers will
mutually pull for each other and
the merchant and business man will
be left with his heavy burden to
carry with no aid.
"The Song and Sigh" will no
longer come from the farmers, but
will come from the over. burdened
merchant, the most oppressed class
of men on earth. Nobody accuses
either farmers or bankers of being
fools, and since the farmers today
are the best off Of any people, it is
but natural the bankers should
throw eff the merchant and take
The farmers as powerful ally, and
the farmer, for shrewd reasons,
takes up with the bankers. One
thing is CERTAIN, the bankers and
farmers have the money. What
the mutual understanding is we
cannot ray. But we do say the
merchants are the only really OPP
pressed people today. Everything
he sells never was sold as cheap and
with as little profit, while every.
thing the farmer has to sell brings
fair price.
Will the bankers and farmers
please give us the LIGHT?

This is Meant for Ycv.

It has been truly said that half the
world does not know how the other
half lives. Comparatively few of US
have perfect health, owing to the i'm
pure condition of our blood. But we
rub along from day to day, with
scarcely a thought, unless forced to
our attention, of the thousands all
a;uut US who are suffering from
sc"oEula, salt rheum and other serious
ilJol disorders, and whose agonies
ian only be imagined. The marked
success Of Hoods Sarsaparilla for
these troubles, as shown in our ad-
vertising column frequently, Ger
tainly seems to justify urging the
use of this excellent medicine by all
who know that their blood is dis
ordered. Every claim in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is fully backed
up by what the medicine has done
and is still doing, and when its pro-
prietors urge its merits and it's use
upon all who suffer from impure
blood, in great or small degrees, they
certainly mean to include you. 16.

ing presentment:
A committee from our body visited
the poor house, and we are proud to
state that they found only five IN
mates therein, who are we'll cared for.
The inmates and stewards wife com
planned of the drinking water, and
on examination the we'll "a found
in a bad condi1on. We recommend
hal the County Commissioners in
vestigate this matter, and take such
steps as may be necessary to pro,
cure better drinking water for them.
We also find that two of the inmates
are insane and fit subjects for the
lunitic asylum, one of them has to be
kept locked up all the time.
We have examined the county jail
and find that the cells are not in as
clean a condition as they should be.
We recommend that the cells be
thoroughly secured out and put in a
clean condition at once. We also
found the sewerage of the Jail i'm
| perfect, and recommend that the
County Commissioners examine same
and see if it connot be improved
without too great an outlay of money.
We have not examined the public
Offices but have appointed the fol-
lowing committee for that purpose,
to wit: George A. Derrick, P. [.
Rawl and A. L. Hook, and that they
have leave to employ an expert if
necessary.

We are bound to say tLat we con,
slider as most unfortunate the result
of the preliminary skirmish between
the State and the United States
Courts on the question of the liabil-
ity and status of insolvent corpora
tons in the hands of receivers as re-
CARDS their relations to the sovereign
power of the State and its hitherto
scarcely disputed prerogative of as
sessing and collecting the taxes it
deems necessary for the purposes Of
government.
For this was the issue which was
really passed upon by Judges Goffand
Simonton in the United States Court
yesterday, no matter upon what side
issues the question was branched
off through the ramifcations Of legal
technicality and the application Of
inconclusive precedents.
The Supreme Court had,
after due process, declared this court
without Jurisdiction to enter into
the merits Of that question. Those
of the corporations which were sol
vent were debarred by its decision of
further stay''of the States hand. Not
SO the insolvent corporations. The
very court whose jurisdiction to pass
on the question was ~overruled de-
clared that its instrument and organ
the receiver who held the property
of the insolvent corporation which
had been committed to its charge
was a competent judge to decide
upon the merits of the question
which it, the principal, had been de-
MED the right to inquire into, and
that in this indirect and scarcely
merit worthy way it could and did
obtain hat jurisdiction over the sub,
iect matter which it had been denied
the right to come by directly. This
NOV be law, it can scarcely be
equity.
One would naturally think that in
passing upon a question so far reach
ing and vast in its results; so utterly
reversing all ideas of common justice

z conceived Of, Egust and

S
learned court would have laid down
some unquestioned and salutary
principle of law to warrant it's pol
icy; that it would at least produce
clear and unambiguous precedents
compelling its action.
There is, however, no adequate
principle stated-only the assertion
that receivers are not bound to pay a
tax in their judgment unlawful, with
out the order of the court" no prece-
dents are quoted which are of con-
elusive authority"-''all of them of
persuasive authority" merely.
1t does not become US to question
the stern, unbending integrity and
impartiality of the honorable and
unimpeachable judges, but may We
not, with all due respect, ask if it
would not have been the part of hu-
man wisdom, in view of the univer-
salty Of human weakness, for them
to have viewed with suspicion prece
dents, which to them, were merely
persuasive" considering, as they are
unaviodably compelled to do, that
they were sitting in review of a mat
ter in which, as they construed it,
the very authority which they exer-
cised which had been set aside and
defed, it's process had been ignored,
and its jurisdiction not only ques-
toned after being asserted. but over
ruled and reversed by a higher court?
What have we, then, established
by these persuasive precedents and
this faulty logic on uncertain princi-
pies of law which defeat equity and
Justice! We have the assertion that
the receiver of an insolvent corpora
ton a question the legality of a
tax assessment, and deny the sover
eign and summary power of the
State to collect its revenue, where
not only the private citizen and the
solvent corporation cannot, but where
the court itself, of which the receiver
IS the mere agent, is denied the ju-
risdiction to question the legality,
except, as now held, in this indirect
manner.
But if the court is right in its
virtual decision hat the statutory
right of a receiver under the Fede-
raj law to question the legality Of a
tax assessment at his discretion and
to obgtruct it's collection is paramount
to the hitherto generally accepted
doctrine of the sovereign and essen
tial right Of the State to exercise its
taxing prerogative without outside
interference, we are sure We are not
e~xtravagant in thinking that this
in law has not been so well
established or understood in the past
that it should have obtained u1Ilver-
sal acceptance without possibility Of
question on the pain of severe pun
ishment to those who should so far
presume upon the patience Of the
court.
On what principle or policy not
too Draconic for this modern age
does the court, then, in this case ig-
nore samonition Of a great law giyer,
