When General Hancock declared that
the tariff was local issue, the news
papers laughed and the people scoffed.
They thought General Hancock's opinion
might be all right in matter of warfare,
but what did he know about the tariff.
Time has shown that General Hancock
was pretty near right. Truly a person
is never appreciated until he dies.

IMPORTANT TO PROPERTY.
Home Judiciary Bill Placing the

Status of Property in Hands
of Federal Receivers.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July d.
The House has passed, without op-
position, the bill reported from the
Judiciary, committee, fixing the
status Of state and municipal taxa
ton on property in the hands Of
receivers, appointed by United
States courts. The bill provides
that taxes heretofore or here
after assessed by the state,
county, or municipal authorities
against any corporation or cOrpo-
rate property shall not be classed
as debts, to be passed upon in the
first instance by any United States
court, but shall be collectable in
the first instance by proper au-
thority, according TO assessment,
whether the corporation is in the
hands OF receiver or not and no
Judge or court Of the United States
shall have any other greater au-
thority to enjoin, restrain or in
terfere with the collection
than if no receivership existed and
seizure, as well as sale of property
for taxes shall divest the receiver
and the court of control. Property
seized for taxes and not sold shall
be returned to the receiver and the
corporation or receiver shall have
the right of a citizen to apply for
abatement of the tax or sue
or defend against improper
assessments in courts having juris-
diction. The bill, if it becomes a
law, will settle some of the dis
putes in South Carolina, between the
state and federal authorities, con-
corning taxation of railroad pro-
perty now in custody of the federal
court. The most important rail-
roads OF that state are managed by
receivers, appointed by United
States Judges.

SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTS
THEY WERE SAFE.

The Karnes County Jail Locked and
the Sheriff Couldn't Open 1t.
This is not very pleasant wealth
er to be deprived of food or water
any length of time, especially
when in close confinement.
Well, such was the experience of
the prisoners of the Karnes county
Jail yesterday, and it would have
continued today but for Charles
Martin, the safe expert of this city.
The new Jail of Karnes county,
recently completed and accepted,
is provided with modern improve
ments. On entering the jail there
is a combination which no one but
the sheriff and jailers understand,
that has to be worked before en-
trance can be gained to the run
around and access had to the differ
ent cells.
1t often happens that anyone
who is not thoroughly acquainted
with the workings Of safe combin-
atoms forgets the numbers and is
therefore not able to do anything
with it.
Such was the case with Sheriff
Scale yesterday and he couldn't
open the combination if his life
depended on it. He tried all
means but without success. Final
ly he came to the conclusion that
the only thing left for him to do
was to send for an expert, which
he did and the prisoners are now
eating when the time arrives and
drinking water when they are
thirsty.
