A Mans Right to Boil Down his Name

There are a great many curious
things that come to the attention of
the State authorities and some puzzling
questions are often asked of the Off
cials, and this is especially the case
with the Attorney Generals Office.
There came the other day arequest for
u decision as to whether a man who
had too many initials could dispose of
several of them. The. young man, for
he evidently had been named after the
war, had several Confederate generals
names given him, and he thought two
of these would be sufficient for his
uses. He asked whether it would be
illegal for him to do so, and whether
it would interfere with hislegaI rights.
Assistant Attorney General Townsend
took the matter up, and in friendly
way wrote him that so far as he could
find there was no law against tho drop
ping of some of the initials. He conld
not of his own accord change his sur
name or his given name. In word,
he thought that he could drop the "P"
from his own initials if he 80 wished,
bnt that he had to keep the names
Charles and Townsend. The young
man in question had three long given
names and he wishes to abridge it by
leaving out one of the initials.

Beaufort Taxpayers in a Fix.

Beaufort County is undergoing par
ticularly hard times, owing not only to
the closing down of the phosphate mines
and throwing cut of employment num-
bers of employees and laborers, but
this year the people are called upon to
pay two taxes. The taxes that were
due for the fiscal year 1893 and 1894,
the collection of which was suspended
in consequence of the August cyclone,
and those for 1894 and 1895 are both
due, and very small proportion of
either has as yet been paid in, and the
people have not got the money to meet
their taxes. AS consequence tho ore
ditors of the county are in bad fix,
end have but twenty odd days more to
meet the tax-gatherer with little pros
rect of raising money and no possibil-
lty of postpohement of the time, as
the Legislature will not convene until
after the time expires and the penalty

Decided In Craig.
The Circuit Court of Craig county
has just decided question of rare oc-
cnrrence against the Board of Super
visors of that county. Some months
ago the board deducted from the salary
of the county judge, Anderson, the
amount it had paid another county
Judge, Simmons, for holding court
In his stead. 1t founded its action on
precedents. A former county Judge,
Jones, had pad Judges Simmon for
holding n court in his stead, and
another former county Judge, Lyman
Chalkley, had had the amount paid
Judge Simmons deducted from his,
Chalkley's salary. The present county
Judge, Anderson, however, appealed
from the action of the supervisors to
the Circuit Court of Craig, and that
court decided that Judge Anderson
must be paid his salary in full and
without any deduction
