RESULT OF THE RECOUNT FOR COMMISSIONER
IN HIGHLAND DISTRICT.
Mr.. Class Majority is Increassd-Ths Official
Yols Of The County Dsclarsd-Mr.
Twins Majority.

The Board OF County Commissioners
has completed the work of canvassing
the returns Of last Tuesdays election in
Ohio county. The official figures, as
obtained from Clerk MofTat, are pub
lished in tabular form in this issue.
There are a number OF changes from
the figures. as published last week, but
the result is the same, and every candi-
date who apparently received major
ity on the face of the returns, was yes
terday formally declared elected,
In Webster district, w. w. Irwin,
Democratic candidate for County Com
missioner, made al excellent run con-
sidering the Republican landslide, aud
the official figures Increase his majority
by sixty. TIE first returns showed a
majority OF ifty-three When the re-
turns were canvaSSed, it was discovered
that his opponents vote In one precinct
was 1T instead of IL This makes Mr..
TWINS majority 113 in the district.
Yesterday morning the Board re-
counted the vote for Commissioner In
precinct No. ., in Richland district.
The recount was demanded by DR..
Bates, D., the defeated candidate. j.
3. Wilson, Esq, appeared for him, and
Capt. b. B. D0vener and s. G. Smith
for Mr.. Smith. There were several
animated disputes between opposing
counsel, and DR.. Bates attorneys eX-
cepted TO five ballots. The result Of
the recount was gain OF three votes
for Glass. Republican, and a gain Of
two for Dr. Bates, ID. The corrected
vote is, Glass l72, Bates 176, or an. in
crease of one vote in Glass majority.
The official returns show the total
vote for the county to have been 1851,
which is an evidence that there were
not many stay-at- homes. The Prohibit
tion vote was not large, and the Popu-
list vote even smaller.
Yesterday afternoon the members OF
the present Board and the newly elected
members, went out TO the County In
firmary and spent pleasant season
as guests OF Superintendent Pebler. An
excellent supper was discussed at six
o'clock.

IoN'r DO 1T AGAIN.
A "Rsubo4" Jumps straight Out From
street Car Yesterday.

An extremely amusing incident &C.
Cured Yesterday morning about ten
o'clock. LAS a street car was passing
Twenty-eighth street at that time q
very "fa+mer" looking man, who had
gotten oni Up town, took notion that
he wanted of. He made frantic efforts
to signal the conductor. but that dig
nitary ws.s busy and did not see the gen.
tleman from the country.
After riding about square by where
be had originally intended getting of,
the man finally attracted the conduc-
tors attention, and the signal was given
TO stop. By this time, however, the
passengers in the car were convulsed
with merrimeht at the actions and an
tics of the "jay" in attracting the con-
ductor's attention, but the best Of 1t all
was yet TO come.
Mr.. "Reuben" did not wait for the
car to stop but as soon as it commenced
TO slow I'D he made a dash for the rear
platform with 3 gripsack in one hand
and a bundle in the other. On reaching
the platform be did not stop but made q
flying leap into space, AID for the next
few seconds there was peculiar con
glomeration OF man, mud, KNAPP
sack, bundle and clothes roll
ing about In the street.
OF course, at this unexpected tern OF
affairs the other passengers in the car
could mot contain themselves and q
mighty howl of laughter rent the air.
The couhtryman slowly picked himself
up, rubbed his" Sims, then commenced
picking up his belongings which were
scattered all over the street. AS he got
them all together he started of 10 the
street, saying: "Pll be hanged II ever
l ride on them pesky kyars again.

WEEKLY wEArHER-cRor BuLLErIs.
Central oslcs, Columbia, No.

The weather during the week end
ms Saturday, April Tth, was fayora-
bic for farm work bet too cool, dry
and windy for growing crops to
make any material advancement.
The rainfall was in the form of
light local showers and many cor
respondents report no rain during
the week.
Farmers generally have been plow-
ing for corn and in the central and
southern counties considerable corn
has been planted.
The larger portion of the oat crop
was Gown in March and much OF it
was killed by the sewers freezing
weather OF the last week of that
month, necessitating resolving.
That which was sown late is not
thought To be seriously injured but
has been kept back by the cool, dry
weather. In some sections there is
lack OF seed for resolving and come
of the ground previously sown in
oats is now being prepared for corn.
Wheat was damaged TO consid-
eraol. extent by the freezing wealth
er aud has also suffered from the
dry winds of the past week. Young
clover and timothy were also BE-
riously injured and in many counties
clover wns entirely killed.
Many of the potatoes that We're
planted during March were frozen
.and have had TO be repIapted.
Pastures are very backward but
grass is coming on slowly.
In the northern portion of the
state it is believed that fruit is not
as badly damaged by the recent
cold weather as was at fret suppos-
ed and the prospects are favorable
for "a fair crop of all kinds except
peaches, which are believed tn be
killed In the central and snuthern
counties the damage was much
greater, all early varieties being
killed or seriously injured. ----'-'s -
At the close of the week all crops
were badly in need OF rain but it is
believed the rain which fell on the
Sth has greatly Improved their con-
dition.

Rendered unconrcioa..

As Rev. ]. q. Rice, OF keytesville,
was returning from Asbury chapel
neighborhood last Monday. where
he preached the day previous. his
horse became frightened at a negro
coming out of a field. wheeled sud
denly and upset the buggy, throwing
Mr.. Rice out. He fell on his nead
and shoulders and was rendered un-
concious.
Parties who saw the accident rush
ed TO the good mans rescue, and he
WAS taken % the residence of Bert
Webb and kindly cared for, but did
not regain consciousness for fully
two hours and 8 hall.
We are glad to state, however,
that Rev. Rice was not seriously
hurt, only sustaining q few slight
bruises.
The buggy top was wrecked.
the coupling pole and shafts OF the
buggy were broken and the harness
badly dilapidsted. but the horse es-
capped injury.
It is indeed fortunate that more
serious damage was not wrought.

Bank Assessments.

Several Charlton county bankers
were before the county board OF
equalization on Wednesday, and
Thursday of last week for the pu--
pose OF inducing the board TO reduce
the capital stocks Of the respective
banks represented sc per cent. For
instance. a bank has n building and
fixtures costing $4,000 which is as
sessed as a part OF its capital stock
at 100 cts on the dollar. The banks
hold that their real estate should be
assessed at about ous-half as is usu-
ally the case In assessing other real
estate, aud the assessment is often
even less than one-half the actual
value.
IL would seem that the point made
by the banks was we'll taken, bur
there is "A special law governing the
capital stocks OF banks, and the
board, for that reason, failed 20
take any action on the desired so
per csnt. reduction.
The best way, in our opinon. to
avoid such annoying questions would
be to assess all real and personal
property, too, at its full value which
would be equal justice to ali. The
higher assessment would result IN
a lowering of the rsie o! taxation. so
that no one would have any more
taxes TO pay than now.
Only a certain amount OF revenue
is required and an assessment that
would place full value on both real
and personal property and az the
same time not necessitats the pay
meut of any more taxes would tie
erbinently fairer and more setisiae-
tory than the present syetem.
