a Chickamauga Monument.

The General Assembly will be asked
to make m appropriation for the erec-
ton o: Il suitable monument to tho
Confederate dead from this State on
the battlefield of Chicamauga. 1t is
estimated from the bids that have
been received that the style of granite
monument that il desired will cost
about 100000, and that amount will
probably be asked for from the State.
There is also to be an application
for an appropriation for the publica-
tion of the Confederate rolls and it is
of the most vital importance from
historical standpoint that this be done
at once.

THE RAILROADS WILL FIGHT.
United States Courts Called on to In
terfere In the Matter of
UNION, s. G.

United States Courts Called on to In
terfere In the Matter of
Fertilizer Rates.
1t now begins to look as IL the issue
between the railroads and the State
railroad commission over the new fer
tilizer rate will have to be fought out
in the court, with both sides pushing
cases therein. The legal battle over
the matter promises to be Of wide
spread interest.
Already the bondholders of the Man
chester and Augusta road have declar-
ed war on the Iate by going before
Judge Simonton and obtaining re-
straining order pending hearing on
the motion for an injunction against
the commissions enforcement OF the
rate. The commissioners. say, how
ever, that no papers have been served
upon them in this case and if it has
been begun they know nothing of it.
The commission has received infor-
nation that none of the railroads have
put the new rate into effect as required
by the official circular. The rate was
promulgated some time ago. 1t is
stated that nearly all the railroads have
put the new rate into effect az required
by the official circular The rate was
promulgated some time ago. 1t is
stated that nearly all the railroads have
refused to give the new rate when de-
mand was made upon them to DO SO.
a great many complaints from points
all over the State have bcCH sent into
the commission.
The commission has no other way of
enforcing its decisions than through
the courts, and the matter has been
pnt into the hands of the attorney
general, who will doubtless make some
move in the matter very shortly.
| The statute law covering the refusal
of n railroad to comply with the de-
cisions of the State railroad commits
sion requires that State court shall
issue writ of mandamus, and that the
railroad shall be liable to fine Of
81, 900 for each and every instance Of
refusal to obey it.
! Attorney General Barber and his
assistants were both present VIXEN the
railroad men entered their protests
and made their. argume nts against the
reduction of the rate before the com
mission and stenographic record OF
what was said was kept for the com
mission.

TIE TAX SITUATION.
What the Comptroller General Has to
Say on the Subject.

Comptroller General Norton was
asked by reporter for the Columbia
State how he figured out the probabil-
ity of the State tax levy being 10 mills
for the coming fiscal year, and there
upon he gave the following statement
of the situation
The levy for 1S94-'95 is ! mills.
This money is now in the State treas
nrY or in process Of collection. The
last fiscal year closed IN Cctobc: 81 =,
1895. The collections from the A.
mill levy for 1s94-'95 will be appro-
priated by the incoming general as
sembly to the expenses, under the old
Constitution, of lS95-'9G, but under
the new Constitution 1896
The revenues. therefore, from the
year 1S94'95 go to meet the apprupriu-
tons OF 1896.
This fiscal year must Of necessity
have two months of 1895, and - of
1896, making II months. If A mills
are necessary TO pay the expenses Of
the State government for II months,
what number of mills at the same ratio
will 1T take to meet the expenses of If
months? There is one sixth of n year
IN the extra two months; then 4 ! mills
plus l-6 OF 4 IL equals 5.4 mills. 1t
is certain that 1-2 mills, with the
phosphate royalty diverted to the sink.
ing fund and the dispensary profits to
the school fund, will raise not above
S7G2, 600, an insufficient amount for
the expenses of the State. This will
force deficiency of fully 1.6 mills,
which would have to be levied by the
incoming general assembly for the
fiscal year 1897. This will give II
plus 1-G for two months-.9 Dor s. mills
plus the deficiency, 1.6 mills, making
total for State purposes for 1897 OF
mills; and the 3 mills constitutional
Tor education, makes 10 mills
30 this must then be added AZ
county expenses, which cannot average
less than 3 IL mills, Judging from the
past. BY the graduated tax on incomes
and Il graduated license on occupations
and business the levy directly on the
nj valorem valuations can be reduced
below 4 l2 mills for 1897"
