her husban being killed in the war.
She was eighteen years Of age when
lett widow. A few days later she
married Mr.. Joseph Jeuniogs. Her
health was wretched, but little child
was sent to brighten the household.
God soon claimed ltagain however, and
dependency seized the mother Oae
day she heard of an orphan babe in
forlorn condition being at Glenn Spring
She persuaded her husband to take her
to seeit. They found the little outcast
sick, dirty and scantily clothed. After
a short consultation Mr.. and Mrs. Jen-
nings decided to take the baby home
with them. 1t soon filed the place In
their hearts Of their dead baby. From
this time Mrs. Jennings gathered the
little waits into her heart and home,
until there were fifteen at the time Of

ParalYEed.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 14.-Some
bungllng has been done by the last Lsg
islature, |! seems, which Is Liable to cause
tho State serious trouble. It looks now
to a good many who have made q most
careful examination OF the county gov.
ernment act, passed at the last session
OF the Legislature, as If 1t has caused a
paralysis of the tax machinery OF the
State government, as far as the making
OF assessments for taxation are con.
cerned. The man who DIRE " up tho bill,
Mr.. John Gary Evans, it is supposed,
as far as now appears, has made II read
80 that after January l, 1895, all the
present laws on tho subject OF making
assessments, etc., conflicting with the
new act shall be considered repealed,
and the duties OF the officers made away
With be devolved upon county supervi-
sor and a county board of road commis
sioners. OF course existing laws hold
good until the date mentioned. So far
80 good.
The man who prepared the law. how
ever, goes on down to Section 6 and
says that all the duties, powers, etc.,
Of the present township boards of asses.
sors are "now and hereby abolished.'
There have evidently been some serious
omissions, and the interesting situation
ls presented of all this ground work tax
machinery bong abolished ''now,"
while no other provision ls made for any
other scheme until January l., 1895.
And in Section the county boards of
equalization share the same fate. Then
again 1t conflicts with it self when it
provides for the election Of c)unty
supervisor aud fixes this election at tho
next general election; requiring in the
meantime that the now county boards,
which the Governor appoints, taking the
powers of the abolished boards, cannot
do anything unless he is present.
There 10 only short time remaining
| before the township boards will have to
act and 1t ls now serious question great
ly puzzling tho State officials to know
what to do. There's no way of getting
the Supreme Court to decide upon the
matter, and unless that body should
consider the repeating clause, in the
matter of time, rs applying to the whole
act, every taxpayer could rush into court
and play havoc with the government
A prominent man, who is very
much concerned in the matter
SAID yesterday, that it appeared
to him that the only remedy was for the
Governor TO appoint the new boards
but then would come the trouble referret
TO about tho supervisor.
1t is thought that Governor Tillma,
is for once in his life badly puzzled an
does not yet know what steps to take
Every one seems to be completely at 80
as to what construction to place upo
the garbled act. aud all the officials seeu
afraid to act, for they cannot tell wha
will happen if the matter is carried b.
any taxpayer to the courts. It mean,
everything to the State governmeut aut
is vitally important matter.

Where "a Reporter Gets the Worst of 1t.
l sometimes think that the newspaper
reporter has a little more to contend
with than almost any other man in bust
ness. Take the commercial drummer,
for instance. He goes into a town to sell
goods. If he finds his man out of sorts
all he haS to do is to move on to some
other town and try another, or he can
wait for his customer to get in the prop
er mood. If the deal between two specu-
lators is Of any moment the mar who is
engineering the deal can maneuyer it
according to circumstances. He may
wait until he gets his mar down to a
dinner where the wine is flowing freely.
But the newspaper reporter musttackle
his man wherever he can find him. The
man may have had some terrible mis-
fortune, trouble, Or a death in his fam
lily, or he may have just had an alfred
poor dinner. But that is none of the re-
pOrter's business. He goes at the man
with questions. He must tackle him
where he finds him. If the man has had
a smooth day Of it, all right and well.
But if he hasn't the reporter must get at
him in some way. In doing so he runs
the risk of making an enemy for life and
losing his reputation as an interviewer.
The commercial mar has the time to
work his customer to the proper pitch.
The reporter must get his ma instanter
no matter what obstacles are in the way.
