Peculiar to Itself
TO Love Letter Writera.


The writer's of love letters will do
well when inditing or preserving
these missives to remember the
moral of an incident which happen
ed a week OF two ago. A youthful
philatelist received permission from
his father to sell or exchange a num-
Der of old postage stamps he had
discovered in q lumber room. The
frugal minded papa impressed upon
the son the fact that if he left the
stamps on the envelopes he would
get a better price for them. The
boy adhered so strictly to this rule
that he gave the letters he found in
some of the old envelopes into the
bargain. Two days afterward q lady
informed the papa that the whole
town was reading, with intense in
terest, some letters he had written
before his marriage to his present
wife. Notwithstanding the frantic
efforts made by the composer of the
love lyrics, they were not returned,
and there is no knowing but what
they may turn up some of these
days in a neat"Guide to the Writing
Of Love Letters" - Westminster
Budget.

The 4th Of March.

Mckinley and Hobart, Republicans,
were installed as President and Vice
President on Thursday last. Every.
but everything went off as expected,
~perfunctorily. Mckinley was sworn in
on q great big bible that weighed
twenty pounds and with the casket in
which it was enclosed, fifty. The cere-
mony was In front Of the Capitol, and
looking up Pennsylvania Avenue
There was present, for various reaspas,
his Cabinet, the ex-President, high
army and civilian officials, foreign am
bassadors and ministers, and a mob of
gentlemen and ladies Of all n%ationali-
ties and races, colors and sizes, esti-
mated at one hundred thousand. After
the oath, Mckinley spoke out in meet
ing and promised to carry out the
platform Of the Republican party,
protection, to the best of his ability,
with a brief reference to other planks
in the Republican platform; announced
that he would call Congress in ex-
traordinary session on the 18th OF this
month to do the business, and then he
hushed up and listened to the wild cry
OF the hooters. Grover wore his hat,
a high beaver, owing to the rheumat-
les, during the ceremony. Then he
and Mckinley got into their open
carriage behind four long tailed sor-
rels and moved up the avenue to the
White House Ia mile and q half) which
was fanked by two hundred thousand
citizens who yelled their patriotic
fervor. There, at the old palace,
Grover passed in and slipped out at
a back door and was Immediately
driven to the wharf, where he took q
boat (waiting) for the most available
ducking grounds orrather, waters. Will
liam, the elect, mounted q platform in
front Of the Presidential residence,
took off his hat and bowed and smiled
to the mighty mass OF humanity passing
in review, worshipping the newly en-
throned man Of power and altogether
oblivioNs of the retired prince. Twas
eve thus:
Farewell, q long farewell, to all my
greatness!
This is the State of man; to-day he puts
forth
The tender leaves of hope; tomorrow
blossoms,
And bears his blushing honorJ thick
upon him;
The third day comes O frost, q killing
frost;
Vain pomp and glory of this world, 1
hate ye."
There was more Of it and the pa
geantry was worthy (by all ~accounts) of
our great Jeffersonian republic. Then
the great show was over and the
GRO" 1,hoarse and hungry, hunted their
railons. AT night there was a grand
ball attended by 5000 people, McKin-
ley and his staff, and the newly great,
including Hobart. So far, the new adj
ministration has been a success. Now
look out for Observation-Disclosures
the hungry thousands for office plums.
THE Philistines be upon thee, Samp-
son."

Coming to Their Senses.

The Grand Jury of Atlanta shows
virtuous signs. Otis Smith stole $1O,-
600 from his employers, but for the
sake Of the money Otis friends allowed
him to settle and gave him the chance
to escape. And now the Grand Jury
threatens to indict the whole layout
for compromising a felony and to send
them to the p~enitientiary in his stead.
A fellow stole o horse, but they caught
up with him, got the horse and took q
hundred dollars to hush up the mat
ter. In a week the fellow with his gang
stole q dozen horses and got away,
leaving the neighborhood horseless.
The Grand Jury is right.
The pleasantries of the estate" and
the present editor of the Greenville
News over ex-President- Cleveland, are
purely ex-"Post"-facto.

OUR sOL0Ns.

The General Assembly adjourned
SINE DIE on Wednesday morning last
as previously fixed. Numbers of MEM
bers and Senators had already de-
serted the State House, as rats a
rickety ship, and gone to their homes.
Much legislation has been effected,
some of 1t good, and OF course mistakes
have been made. A final verdict a
not be rendered until many Of tho laws
have been tested by experience. We
think the work will look like a great
patch quilt. Cursorily reading the pa
pers 1t would appear that the bulk Of
the statutory law had been amended.
We can therefore, hardly wait until 1900
for q revision OF the Statutes. But as
said, we must wait to see, and hasty
conclusions are not safe. The mem
bers and Senators, about 170-were
paid for 81 daySat $500 per diem and
mileage. With officials aud attaches
and the printing, the session will have
cost about $4,000. Taxes will still be
high. A now tack was taken, new in
oOutn CarOllna, TO StaVe OIL O nigh
tariff. We refer to the Income Tax
Law. 1t starts with o tax Of one per
cent. on incomes over $1,000, and Is
graduated from that point upwards,
increasing as the incomes increase
1t would have been iairer to start be-
low that point for this reason: few Of
our people have incomes Of $4,000; and
over that Agure the tax applies. We
think therefore that it will not be q
success as arevenue raising measure.
1T will also double the number of tax
dodgers, too numerous already. The
constitution makes provision for the
measure and we now quote the clause
for the benefit Of IL many readers, as
follows:
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1897-03-09
ARTICLE x.
FINANCE AND TAXATION.

SECTION l. The General Assembly
shall provide by law for O uniform and
equal rate of assessment aud taxation,
and shall prescribe regulations to Sc
cure a just valuation for taxation of
all property, real personal and posses
sorry, except mines and mining claims,
the products Of which alone shall be
taxed; and also excepting such prop
erty as may be exempted by law for
tiic, religious or charitable purposes.
Provided, however, That the General
Assembly may impose a capitation
tax upon such domestic animals as
from their nature and habits are de.
structive Of other property: And pro-
vided, further, That the General AS
sembly may provide for a graduated
tax on income and o graduated license
on occupations and business.
That faithful friend of man, the dog,
was intended under the first proviso,
but under the second proviso the more
dangerous domestic animal" is safely
cribbed.
Another tax measure has been passed
in the shape Of q new assessment law.
1t makes the board of township COM
missiOners assessors, who are to assist
the Auditor in hunting up personal
and real property, getting it on the
Auditors books and fixing it's value.
So 1t Is seen that u representatives
are interested for square and honest
dealing. This is not Objectionable
The ~dispensary law has been further
tempered with, with the intent to de-
prive a citizen of importing his bever-
age from abroad for personal use. We
regret 1t. 1t will incur upon the State
further litigation, and because 1t was
unnecessary. The bar rooms are
already closed, as a temperance meas
ure the law as 1t stands has had its ef-
feet, the sales by the dispensaries are
big enough, and the measure Of com.
pulsion npon those who use spirits to
buy OF the States grog shop is purely
~yexstious and very likely was intended
TO be so. Litigation in the Federal
Courts will certainly result and the
State will as certainly lose. 1t will
have n good effect, however: 1t will
keep up a stew and politicians can
make capital out of the racket. 1t
would not be a happy State tor all to
agree and pull together the same way.
However, we trust that the Solons are
all safe and happy at home, and that
their work will result to the good OF
the State and the happiness of the
people.
