Il was noticeable fact that while but
few negroes took any part in the protection
OF the property in danger, yet those few
worked like trojanS, and much credit IS
due them.
Ii is certainly to be deplored that 50
many of our citizens who were property
owners and who would be affected by
a loss Of property to their nelghbors in the
town should have taken so small part IN
the protection OF the property. Many OF
them stood around discussing the fire and
what should be done, yet not lifting TN

those who fought bravely and we'll, We're
men who did not own one cents worth Of

1t is time that people began to think Of
organizing a bucket brig.de-men who
would take an interest in preserving prop

About four cases Of S0-proof and one \

, court has held that each years. dObis
must be paid by each years. taxes and
revenue. and that no debt or liability
can be created except such as can DO
linuidated by the taxes and revenue OF
that wear. II there Is surplus at the
end OF the year, that may DO carried over
into tho he1t year as g. patt of the latter
years revenue.
The court further holds as to the year
IeO6 mat II there Is cash in tho treasury
On the flrst day of each year, and II cash
IL subsequently, collected belonging to
wears prior to 1896, then that such money
is to be applied on Indebtedness out
standing and unbonded on Jan. l, 1870.
II such debts exceed such money, then
tho balance IL to he bonded. II the
money on hand at the beginning of such
year and subsequently collected, belong
ing to previous years, exceeds such out
standing indebtedness thun the surplus
may be considered as revenue of 1896,
but not otherwise.
The supreme court did not expressly
decide whether redemption money col
lecied by the county in 1926, and belong
ing to other pubic corporations, should
be considered as county revenue for such
year, but, on the principle OF the courts
decision, 1t Is very clear that such re-
demption money does not belong To Tho
county and that the county had no right
to use the same.
The supreme court did not decide In
this case in what order warrants should
DO paid, but the county government act
provides, "If the fund In insufficient TO
pay any warrants it must be registered
and paid in the order OF its registration.
This would seem to settle tho question.
Warrants must be paid In that order, and
any money belonging to the year lo96
should be applied to tho payment OF
warrants in the order of their registra-
ton.

CHANGES ARE URGED
REPUBLICANS SUGGEST AMEND
MENTS TO THE TARIFF BILL.
House Rates on Flax and Metals Pre-
ferred by Several SenatOrs-Talk
with Secretary Gage.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The Republican
members of the Senate committee on
finance were in consultation at the Airing
ton Hotel tonight with q large number of
senators on the flax and metal schedules
on both of which amendments looking TO
increases have been suggested. Senators
Davis Nelson and Pettigrew and Repre-
sentative Towney were heard on the de-
STABILITY of a general increase on hemp
and flax duties advocating the restoration
of the House rates on all articles of this
character which do not call for still higher
rates than those of the House bill. They
asked for ~ cents a pound on retted tow,
2 cents on unhackled flax and 312 cents on
hacked flax. They represented that in the
Northwestern States enough flax straw Is
destroyed every year to supply the de-
mands for flax products of the entire Uni
ted States, which they said could be saved
with a sufficient protection. Senator Aid
rich suggested that if the rates were raised
on the raw material it would be necessary
also to advance them on the articles manu-
featured from fax, but the Western sem
ators suggested advances in the metal
schedule. The committee announced no
conclusions, but the advocates of the flax
amendments left feeling very much en-
COuraged
