A cooneuient Invention.

An Orangeburg farmer comes to the
front with q new invention in the
shape of a Lubricator for oiling We
hicle wheels without taking them OF
the axle. It is inserted in the huo
between two of the spokes. When
you want to grease your wheel all you
have to do is to Withdraw piunger,
which operates with spring, ana eut
as much oil as is needed on the axle.
Upon being released the spring close
up the oil hole until it is opened for
oiling up again. It is a very ingeni-
GUS and clever device. and is bound to-
be used generally. With these luorI-
Gators a Vehicle can be oiled up any
where along the road in less than one
minute. The patent for this valuable
invention is owned by the National
Lubricator Company OF Orangeourg,
S. C. Mr.. Jas. L. Sims, Eiitor and
Proprietor of the Ofangeburg Times
and Democrat, is the maaager tine
company, which is guarantee thatlt
is all right. The company wants an
agent in this covnty to sell the Luorl-
Gators. See advertisement IN another

While the initial cost OF this impor-

w lille the Initial cost OF TINS Inpor-
tant work Of collecting unpaid taxes,
and il placing the property upon the
tax duplicate, is expensive, we find
that enough has been done to pay the
entire cost and expenses of the work,
including salary of agents, and has
also, during last year, paid a net
amount into the Treasury, OF 81, 100
over and above the amounts paid to
county and school fund, and other
disbursements to county officials, re-
ouired to be made out of net collec-
tions of the Sinking Fund. After
careful investigation OF the work per
formed under these Acts, we commend
the N as wise legislation, pplying a
material defciencJ in the tax laws, and
going far to perfect the tax system.
The laws are being administered by
the Governor, Attorney General,
Comptroller General, Chairman OF
the Finance Committee of the Senate,
and of the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House, who, ex-oficio con-
stitute the Board of the Commission
ers of the Sinking Fund, their work is
carefully svstematized, and provided
with checks and safeguards to prevent
any abuse in the performance OF their
duties under tae law. All important
matters are acted upon by resolutions
adopted by the Board, and each and
every act of the agent is submitted 10
the Board for review, and for It's ap-
proval. There is, however, much frlc-
ton between the Comptroller Gener-
ais Department and Sinking Fund
Commission.

We commend the Act OF February
25, 1896, permitting the holders OF
Brown Al per cent. bonds, to deposit
them with the Commission and borrow
this fund at the same rate OF interest
named in the bond. We would also
respectfully recommend that addition
al legislation be made to permit the
several counties in the State, by bor-
rowing such funds at rate OF interest
not exceeding six nor less than five
per cent, upon pledge OF the county
taxes. and upon such terms as will en-
title each county to borrow fair por.
ton of said funds, if it so desires. un-

John Wannamaker has said TO
discontinue an advertisement is like
taking down a sign That is just the
idea. You have a sign above your
door to let people know who you are
and where you are, and wnat you
are doing. That's what your ad.
does. Space IN newspapers merely
multiplies your sign. Il lets thous-
ands of people know what you have
to sell.

The c. C. w. members met the Stock
ton train in the evening on its arrival
and escorted the returning heroes of the
race through the streets to the club
headquarters. The Capital City Drum
Corps generously rendered its services,
which were accepted, and the drummers
led the procession.
At the club rooms on Ninth street
there was great hilarity. About dozen
of the Stockton wheelmen were present,
and the Capital City men did all in their
power to entertain them. The visitors
took their defeat all in good part and
warmly congratulated the Sacramen-
tans on their hardwon and brilliant
victory.
As between city and city, Sacramento
was in tight place yesterday. She had
but one team in the race against three
from Stockton. An accident that would
incapacitate one Sacramento rider
would lose this city the trophy, whereas
| Stockton had three chances against us
AS between club and club, however
there was no advantage on either side

into with Sheriff Johnson Fisher

subordinates did the same for the other
eight.

Will this morning be charged with vag-
rancy.
In the meantime Fisher had walked in
the shadow of Leffingwen ever since the
latter left the levee. The leader of the
army walked into a J-street OYSTER
house and ate his fill, paying for his
meal from well-filled purse. From the
oyster-house he visited Chinatown,
where he purchased four boxes of crack
ers and wound up by visiting, according
to Captain Fishers story, a Chinese
house of i'll repute.
This was evidently what Fisher was
waiting for, and when Leffingwell reap
peared he marched him down [ street
to the city prison. where he was given
cell with the comrades who had pre-
ceded him.
A purse containing S13 80 was taken
from his person, as well as a number of
newspapers containing articles relating
to the army since it's organization.
So it happened that While the army
slept last night in Thomas Hague's field
in the Brannan addition, its leader oc-
cupied a cell in the city prison. and this
morning he viii be before Justice Davis
to answer to a charge of vagrancy.
