ming to be present at the annual conven-
tion or congress OF the county COM
missioners Of the various counties of the
State, which will convene at the court
house i'll that city today Wednesday,.
Last year the commissioners held their
first annual meeting in Augusta. These
meetings are held for the purpose of dis
cussing various matters OF Importance
with which the commissioners have to
deal.
Among t he questions to be discussed at
the Bangor meeting will be the law
passed by the last legislature relating to
taxation of wild lands, which requires
county com issioners to make an in
ventory of the real and personal property
i'll all unincorporated places and assess
the annual tax thereon, and to appoint a
collector " no turns the collections over
to the county treasurer and thence to the
State.
1t is q tedious, laborious and difficult
job for the comm missioners, and the State
gets what little money is collected while
the counties have to bear the expenses.
The commissioners would like to have
this law repealed.

ate today Mr.. Tillman secured consid.
Grafton of bill granting the city OF
Charleston the use of the old postottice
property for municipal and CONNER.
cial purposes. The measure brought
out some discussion. Mr.. Sherman
pointed out that Charleston was not
required to pay back the original pur:
chase price. Mr.. Quay explained
that this was an old landmark, the
building having been wrecked by the
earthquake and not since used by the
government. Mr.. Hoar, who had a
Sharp passage with Mr.. Tillman dur.
ing the latter's recent speech, took,
occasion to urge that it would be a
graceful and appropriate act toward
Charleston to recognize the histroic
courage Of the city at the time of the
earthquake by giving the use of this
historick. building. The bill was
then passed.

Pearson and Talbert Hitch.

The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer says that while
the silver debate was on in the House,
Representative Pearson, Republican
of North Carolina, indulged in sneer
at the expenses of South Carolina for
the part which she took in provoking
the war of sesessions. This allusion
angered Mr.. Talbert, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, who declared in a
great state of excitement, that South
Carolina was right in the position
which she took.
II am ashamed of any man who en-
dorses secession or the motives which
lay behind it, Mr.. Pearson said.
II endore it," Mr.. Tslbert eXclaim
ed, 81 endorse every word of seces
sion."
''It has been said,n Mr.. Pearson
went on, THAT if hell ever breaks
loose in this country it will break
loose in South Carolina and so 1 be-
lieve it.
The spectators in the gallery took
sides in this angry alteration, ap-
plauding now the one and now the
other combatant-
Mr.. Talbert had the last word de-
claring that "South Carolina never
has been whipped, and never will be
whipped"

uncIa Sam Particular.

The government is getting more
particular every day as to the charac-
ter of its public servants, par
ticularly those in the postofice depart
ment. There have been many require
ments in physical way of applicants
for clerkships and carriers position.
but after the February examination
the restrictions will be more numer-
GUS than ever. The applicants must
furnish a physicians certificate, under
the old examination. of good heart,
lungs and legs, sight, hearing, etc. ;
but the latest requirement OF the civil
service commission is as follows:
Male applicants who are under 5 feet
4 inches in height or under 12bpounds
in weight will not be accepted for the
position of clerk or of carrier in the
postoffice service, and such local
boards of examiners are authorized to
cancel applications from applicants
who are under the prescribed height
and weight, or concerning whom the
answer to questions 6, 10, 20, and 81
(or any one of them) are not satiHac-
tory. No doubt this will debar many
of the prospective applicants. Ques-
tions 6, 10, 30, and 81 refer to sight,
raptures, and to the capacity of the
applicant to stand prolonged physical
strain and freedom from disease in
general. ~

THE EDUCATION BILL.
The house commmittee on education
reports to the house a substitute bill
for both the senate and house general
education bills. The bill provides for
the school commissioners, which the
senate bill struck out. The senate bill
defined the word "en1ollment" to ap-
ply to pupils attending a school for 80
days. The substitute makes it apply
to children attending one sixth of the
session of public school. These are
the only essential points of difference.
The judiciary committee has report
ed substitute bill for Mr.. Thurmond's IS
bill relating to the privilege tax. The
substitute changes the section of the
present law so as to make it read thus:
Section 6. All the privilege tax on
fertilizers heretofore required to be
paid to the commissioner of agricul-
ture, shall in the future be paid to the
treasurer of the State, subject to the
order of the board of trustees of the
Clemson Agricultural College Of South
Carolina, to the extent of the amount
that may be necessary to defray the
expenses of the said board in perform
ing the duties now by law devolved

cultural College of South Carolina.
