Recent Developments In School
Sanitation.

The drinking cups of school houses
have, for long time, been reoog-
nized as a means of spreading diph-
liberia and other contagious diseases.
For the last quarter of tho school
year of 1897 the New York oity
schools excluded 4,183 children, and
of this number 265 cases were for
ailments which were liable to be COM
municated by the use of common
drinking cup, for diseases such as
diphtheria, scarlet fever, VIII coping
cough and tho mumps. OF other
diseases more or less liable to be
spread by the same means were
measels, chicken pox and 702 con-
tagious diseases of the eyes. In tho
Same relation to the adults are the
drinking cups and tumblers used in
public places where peraonn afflicted
with consumption and all kinds of
contagious diseases use the cup or
glass unfortunately. The Santa
rian recently described an inge NOUS
drinking fountain invented by a citi-
zon of Rochester, N. Y, which, If it
came into general nee, would soon
supplant the use of cups and other
drinking vessels in public places. 1t
consists of a marble pedestal about
b feet high, capped with funnel
shaped basin IL inches in diameter.
Upon applying pressure to a lever at
the base of the basin o jet of water
shoots up from the centre of the
basin into the mouth when held over
it. With a little practice ones thirst
may be abundantly satisfied without
the intervention of o drinking vessel
of any kind. The jet is arranged 80
as not to spatter. The device admits
Of no contact Of the lips with the
jet pipe or any other portion of the
apparatus, the water flowing through
the supply pipe, through the jet
directly into the mouth, and al! the
waste into the bowl, where it imme.
diately flows off by on escape pipe.
None is allowed to accumulate. If
it is to bo used by small children,
wooden steps at one side enable even
the smallest child to obtain an ade-
quate supply of wator to slake his
thirst.

INCREASE IN STATE TAXATION.
One aundred and Fourteen Thousand
Dollars In fourteen Years.

NCsiaES M EouFt6en Goar8s -
CoLuMBIA, s. O., December Z -.
The tax question is at all times of
tho utmost moment. It has never
been d more inomentous question
than at present, with the low price
of cotton. ..,,..n
There has been a good deal said
on the subject of taxation and how it
can be reduced. and whether it is
lower now than in previous years.
With view to giving tho facts about
the interesting economic question,
the records were searched to-day for
the exact facts. The tax levies were
obtained from q bound copy Of the
tax announcements published by the
Comptroller General and collected in
the land Office of the Secretary of
State. The figures are given for the
last sixteen levies, which gives q
pretty fair idea OF how things have
been running and what State taxes
have been paid, .
In connection with the tax levy
tho taxable valuation of property is
given as the tax levy is, of course,
based on the valuation of property
paying taxes. In 1890 the taxable
property in the State amounted to
50,602,451, and it has now risen to
$173,287, 100. This means an in
crease in the taxable property of
twenty-three million dollars, or over
ono-eighth of tho entire taxable
property.
1t will be we'll in studying the tax
question to consider the tax levy in
connection with the assessed valua-
tion Of property in the State. The
tax levies are as follows:

Dennis McLaurin, q colored man,
died last week in Marlboro county in
his 101 year. He and his wife re-
mained on the old homestead of
ante-bellum days until their former
owner died a few years ago. Dennis
was lifetime Democrat, voted the
Democratic ticket Immediately after
the war and continued to do so until
his death. He wore red shirt in
1876, and was color-bearer of the
red shirt company of his township,
and maintained the respect and con-
fidence of his white neighbors, many
of whom attended his burial. Those
old-time negroes are rapidly passing,
and one thing is noticeable, the ante
bellum servants are seldom con-
neoted with the race troubles, and
are rarely seen in the courts as
defendants. ......

Tho Ladies' Democratic club Of
the town of Mccormick, S. O., held
meeting Friday afternoon which
was in session one and half hours,
being presided over by Mrs. j. w.
Jennings. During the meeting they
expressed their belief that the citi-
zens did exactly the right thing in
Kidding the town of Tolbert's pres,
ence. They further expressed their
intention of never again speaking to
anyone connected with the Tolbert
affair. They would have burnt
Tolbert in efiigy but on account of
the steady downpour of rain, it was
postponed until more acceptable
time. 3

TaxatIon OF Costs.

The law concerning costs is in
confusion and lawyers and court
officers do not know where they are
at in the matter of taxation of costs.
One Legislature hammers at the
law and the Supreme Court under
takes to construe it an! another
Legislature comes along and tries TO
make improvements on the law enacted
by the Legislature and declared by
the Supreme Court, but only adds to
the confusion. 1t is to be hoped the
Legislature will overhaul the whole
structure and pass plain and just
law on the subject, SO that everybody
will know on what to base ca!cula-
tions.
A great deal of this confusion in
the law concerning costs arises from
the patriotic purpose of politicians
in the Legislature to ingratiate them
selves into the favor of the voters at
other peoples expense. They have
tried to legislate lawyers out Of ex-
istence, and have tried by the same
process to starve printers, and are
now trying to keep good and compe-
tent men from holding office. The
laborer is worthy of his hire and
just compensation for public service
will not hurt the taxpayer. 1t is
wrong to ruin the small office holders
and squander public money upon big
officers and pet institutions. If the
good of the taxpayers is to be con-
suited let economical measures begin
where they will amount to some
thiDg.-.Pickens Peoples journal.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach tho diseased portion of tho car.
There is only ono way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Ia caused by an inflamed con-
dition of tho mucous lining of the Easta-
chain Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and VIXEN it is entirely closed
deafness is tho result, and unless the
inflammation can DO taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (osused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The total assessed valuation of all
taxable property is as follows:

By multiplying tho amount Of tax
able property by the rate of the levy
it will be seen that the amount Of
taxation in 1884 was $729,866.77; in
1890 it was $790,660.37, and in 1898
it was $869,355.90. A fact worthy
of notice is that the valuation of
property in 1891 over that in 1890
was, in round numbers, $18,000,O00,
while the total increase in valuation
since 1891 has been less than 85,000,-
