High Assessment Unfair to Our
Farmers.

Great dissatisfaction is manifested
by the farmers in Jefferson District,
who have had their lands assessed at a
remarka bly, high price. This is most
surprising, as it was generally supposed
that the assessors would be men of good
judgment and evince no desire to have
Frederick County return thousands
of dollars to the State Treasury, simply
because of excessive valuation of our
lands. If the county was benefited
there might be some excuse, but surely
the assessors must know that the Slate
taxes go to the State Treasury. If
lands have been assessed at a higher
price than is just and fair to the FARMER
they can present their case to the
Board of Review, who, no doubt, will
give them redress. Surely this is no
time to impose additional burdens
upon the farmers of the county.

TO SUCCEED HOKE SMITH.
Ex-Governor David r. Francis, of
Missouri, Will Be Secretary of
the Interior.

A press dispatch from Buzzard's
Bay, dated August 18th, says: An
nouncement was made by President
Cleveland at Gray Gables tonight of
the appointment of David r. Francis,
Ex-Governor of Missouri, as Secretary
of the Interior, vice Hon. Hoke Smith,
who recently resigned the secretary
ship because of his financial views.
Mr.. Francis will probably assume
office on September lst. as that is the
date named in Secretary Smiths resig-
nation.
AS stated above, Hoke Smith re.
signed from his official position because
his views on the financial and other
great questions of the day were antag-
onistic to those neld by President
Cleveland and other members of his
Cabinet. For some time past it had
been rumored that he contemplated
such action, but not until recently was
the report confirmed by actual facts.
1t is said that the Secretary and Presi-
dent are warm personal friends, but
such wide difference as that existing
between them could only lead to
resignation. Mr.. Smith will return to
his law practice in Atlanta, Ga, and
will also give attention to editorial
work in the interest of Bryan and
SewaIl. He is a staunch advocate of
the free coinage of silver theory.

MR. THOMAS G.. MOVES has rendered
his resignation as chairman of the Re-
publican Committee of Montgomery
County. He gives as his reason the
utter lack of harmony prevailing; neg
lect to support the committee in its eff
forts for party success; the continued
ignoring of the recommendations of
the regular organization in behalf of
those made by individuals who 'stand
in" and finally "tbat those who must
bear the real responsibility of the cam
paign, should hold the official power
to make that campaign success"

IT is the general talk of conservative
Republicans that their primary in this
city, on Saturday last, was the most
disgraceful political gathering ever
witnessed in this community. The
yells, the Kisses, the cat calls. the gem
eral disorder and universal gag law APP
piled to the minority, shows the con-
dition of harmony as it now exists in
the Republican ranks of this city.
Many say if there had been fair vote
they would have cheerfully abided by
the result, but when such shameful
proceedings had to be adopted in order
to win, they would repudiate all such
leaders and all who endorsed such pro-
ceedings. The feeling against the Mot
ter combination is very bitter, and
strange to say, this feeling is shared by
many of the active young men of the
town. Motter, however, simply winks
the other eye.

SAD COINCIDENCE.
Employer and Employee Depart
this Life Within One Hour of
Each Other.

One of the most singular coinciden-
ces that ever happened in this city was
the sudden death of Mr.. Job K. Shop
pard, the genial and popular restau-
rateur of Court street, and his assistant,
Mr. Theodore Knodle, within one
short hour of each other, last Saturday.
Shortly after six O'Clock that evening
Mr.. KnOdle was attending to his duties
about the place, when suddenly he
was seen to lean heavily over the bar
aud few moments after breathed his
last. Tie end came instantly. He had
been complaining for some time past,
but nothing serious was thought of it.
and he had not remained away from
his business on that account. Inform
alton of his decease was impaired to
Mr.. Sheppard, who had been indispos-
ed that day and was resting in his
room. The news fell like a pail upon
his spirits and hardly an hour had
elapsed when he too, had passed away,
leaving wife and young child, be-
sides host of warm friends to mourn
his loss. Mr.. KnOdle was unmarried, and
is survived 10y an aged mother and a
brother, Mr.. Benton Knodle. The It'd
ings of the unfortunate affair were
soon abroad and widespread sympathy
Was manifested by those who had
known the two men in social and
business manner and who always held
them in high regard. Mr.. Sheppard
has been identified with the restaurant
business nearly all his life, being at one
time clerk for Mr.. Frank Carlin at the
City Hotel. He has been at his we'll
known stand on Court street for
number of years and had large pat
ronage. He was in his sixty-second
year. Mr.. Knodle was aged fifty-two,
had been with his employer for a lon1
time and was a trusted and competent
manager. The funerals occurred on the
same day, Tuesday.

Free School Books.

The County School Commissioners
were in session on Tuesday, the 25th
inst. The most important action taken
was that relating to the introduction OF
free books in the public schools. Inc
appropriation by the State of Sc, 674: 30,
will not be sufficient to supply free
books in all of the grades unless patrons
owning their books will consent to use
them for the present, the School Board
to supply other books as they may he
required, free of cost, to all except I'D
the High School course. Ifthe patrons
will cooperate with the School Com
missioners, as suggested, books can he
made free to all of the grades, except
high schools, at once, otherwise, it may
be necessary to use the option provided
in the law, by supplying free books TO
lowergrades only, and requiring patrons
to pay book fees or supply their own
books in the higher grades. 1t IS to be
hoped that all who are interested In inc
welfare of the schools will unite with
the Board in the effort to establish free
books at once in all grades, by using
books which would otherwise be OF little
value to them, until others are required.
Circulars will be mailed to all teachers
explaining the plans of the Board in de-
tail. The ownership of books in the
hands of patrons will not be affected,
the books to be used and retained as
private property by the children OF
patrons to whom they belong.

improvements and Embellish-
ments of the Court Room.

1t has been generally conceded
that the court room is very attractive
since the alterations recently made,
and is much admired accordingly.
This is all plain to view, but very few
persons remark the vast improve
ments made in the acoustic or hear
ing qualities of the room. The reme-
dy for this existing defect-a de-
feet supposed to be incurable-until
Mr.. Thomas g. Kennedy, architect of
Baltimore, took the matter in hand,
and so changed the general formation
of the room as not only to remedy the
defect of hearing but has done 1T 81 Ct
fectually that an ordinary tone o. voice
is now audible in any part of the large
room.
1t is q well known fact that of all
the delicate and intricate missions con-
fided t, architects the p 'ritctiOn of
acoustics is the most difficult to ac-
cOmrIish, and in this regard Mr.. Ken
nedy has succe' ded To the entire salts
faction of the court and the public gen
orally. His pronpt attention to bust
ness, agreeable department, and mod
crate charges should commend Mr..
Kennedy to those desiring his profess
sional services.

IT is the general impression that the
Democratic managers prefer to depend
on the people for legitimate campaign
expenses than upon the rich corpora
tions, who are now contributing to
Hanna's corruption fund. No doubt
the plan of seeking the quarters and
half dollars direct from the people will
be adopted before the campaign is
much older. If this is the peoples
fight, every man should be willing to
contribute his share towards helping
on the good work. In this way the
money for Cleveland campaign was
raised and the people were not back
