It is with great pleasure that We ac-
knowledge the receipt OF newspapers from
Manila, Philippine Islands, and we feel
under obligations to the sender, Mr.. w. L.
Wilder, for the thoughtful courtesy. Our
readers will remember Mr.. Wilder, who for
number of years was salesman IN the
store of Mr.. u. Levi. Wilder went from
here to Texas and enlisted in the United
States Army. His gentlemanly conduct
attracted the notice of the commanding Of
fcer, and he was given position which
lightened the hardship of soldiers life
and gave him more pay. When the Span
ish-American war broke out Wilder's regl-
ment was one which was ordered to Homo
lula, and from their 10 Manila to aid Dew
ey in holding the captured city. We hope
Mr.. Wilder will send US letter for TIE
TINES.
It is folly for people to subject themselves
to attacks Of chills and fever and malarlal
troubles, when by the timely use OF Ra-
mons Liver Pills & Tonic Pellets and Ra-
mons Pepsin Chill Tonic they can so for
tify their systems as to entirely prevent
them. Every one knows these famous
remedies, but for fuller information ask
your druggist for pamphlets and sample

There is talk of the merchants Of the
county, holding q meeting in the near fu-
ture to memorialize the Legislature to adopt
some law which will give some relief to the
party furnishing supplies for tenants. They
say that unless something Is done 1t will
be impossible for merchant to make ao-
vances, and the burden will be heavy upon
the poor man who is forced to rent land.
If the merchants decline to make advances
next wear, the landowner will be necessari-
IL forced to advance for his tenants or re-
lease his rent claim in order that the ten
ant may get food to make his crop. If the
landowner is unable to make advances to
his tenants and is compelled to so in debt
to do so, it would be far better for him to
make some amicable arrangement with
the merchant, and thus save himself
from going in debt. Just as sure as fate If
the owner of land undertakes to supply his
tenants By going in debt. he will have to
give mortgage of his land to secure the
man who credits him, for what business
man, will sell his goods on credit without
substantial security to a man who IN turn
sells them to somebody else on credit. The
experience Of the past should be lesson
for the future, with regard to giving mort
cages; the man who mortgages his land,
NAV be successful in his business ventures
and some day shake off the yoke, bat in at
least fifty per cent of the cases the mort
gagged property is struck down under the
Sherifs hammer. We therefore advise our
landovnipg readers to not be stubborn
abou. this matter, and to so to work at once
making such concessions to the tenants
that business men will be able to carry
them through next year, which to our
mind will be the hardest we have had in
many years.

The County Commissioners met last
Monday and in compliance with their in
vitation the legislative delegation were
present with the exception Of Hon. Henry
3. Richardson, who was prevented from
attending by extreme illness in his family.
He sent letter regretlng his inability to
be present, and in it he expressed al anx-
ious desire to cooperate with the delegation
and commissioners to adm bringing about
such legislation as will inpre 10 the best in
terests Of the taxpayers. The commission
ers made it plain to the delegation that it
was business necessity to put the county
upon'a cash basis and the only way it can
be done. is to borrow the necessary funds
from the State Sinking fund commission
and pay cash for work and county supplies.
1t was demonstrated that with caSl sys-
tenn there could be saving of at least 25
per cent, for the reason that parties work
ing for the county under present condl-
tions, charge more for the work in order to
meet the discounts required by men who
speculate in county papers. The levy for
county purposes for the present year was
4 mills and ! of mill for back indebted
ness, and from the exhibits made to the
delegation 1t was shown that the levy, will
not meet the demands and deficit is the
result which must go into past indebted
ness. With such condition to confront,
it matters not how anxious the representa-
tives are to reduce the levy aoG thereby cut
down taxes, it will be on exceedingly diff
cult job. However the delegation are dis
posed to investigate and if possible they
will make cut; at their request the clerk
of the board is to furnish each representa-
tive with a complete written statement Of
the couuty's finances so study of the sub
ject can be made before the meeting Of the
General Assem- bly,.
