THE STATE TAX.

of the Levy-The Tax ia
Each County.

The tax levy for the year 1897 las been
certified to the county clerks 10y Secre-
tary Of State Cassor. Besides the usual
taxes for the expenses Of government
there Is a special TAX Of S50000U to lie
levied this yea for the general fund.
Secretary of State Cassnu thinks the
people are entitled 10 know these causes,
and he makes an explanation OF them
as follows:
Under section io7I o. the Revised stat

to levy such additional tax as may be nee

the interest on these moneys. IL created

increased by the extra expense Of $lD0,e0

The end was peaceful and he died
without pain. This man of mighty
brain and undaunted courage was
physically frail and the strain of an eX-

making at points many miles apart,
night after night, was more than ma

end, and only a few hours before the
dread messenger cried halt, Henry

telling Of the the battle of Cold Har-
Tor, says:
The general in chief realized that he
was in swampy and sickly portion Of
the country The malaria was highly
productive Of disease. and the Chicka-
hominy fever was dreaded by all the
troops who had q recollection Of its
ravages when they campaigned in that
section Of the country two years before.
The operations had been SO active that
precautions against sickness had neccs-
sarily been much neglected, and the
general was anxious. while giving the
men some rest, to improve the sanitary
conditions BY dint Of extraordinary
exertions the camps were well policed
and large quantities Of fresh vegetables
were brought forward and distributed
Cattle were received i'll much better
condition than those which had made
long marches and had furnished beef
which was far from being wholesome.
Greater attention was demanded in the
cooking Of the food and the procuring
Of better water. Dead animals and offal
were buried, and more stringent SAM
tary regulations were enforced through
out the entire command.
What was most distressing at this
time was the condition Of affairs at the
extreme front. No one who did not wit
ness the sights on those portions Of the
line where the opposing troops were in
exceptionally close contact can form an
idea Of the sufferings experienced. Staff
officers used TO work their way on foot
daily TO the advanced points, so as to
be able to report with accuracy these
narrowing scenes. Some of the sights
were not unlike those of the bloody
angle" at Spottsylvania. Between the
lines where the heavy assaults had been
made there was in some places dis
lance of 80 or 40 yards completely COW

sides The bodies Of dead Were fostering

ment ON either front led TO the belief
that it was the beginning of an assault.
In the night there was often heavy ar.
tillery firing, sometimes accompanied by
musketry, with view to deterring tins
other side from attacking, or occasioned
by false rumors Of an attempt to as

had to lie close to the ground in narrow
