HEARING TAX APPEALS.
Attorney H. M. Hannah Complains
of His Assessment.

Appeals from both the county and
city assessments made by Attorney
II. NJ. Hannah, are being heard by
Judge Archibald in chambers County
Solicitor II. A. Knapp and City Solc-
itor M. A. Mckinley are defending the
assessments.
Mr.. Hannah alleges that the assess
ments on three of his properties. situ-
ated respectively on Lackawanna,
Madison and Monroe avenues in the
Ninth ward, are far above what they
should be. AS an instance of the al
legged injustice he stated that the total
tax on his Monroe avenue property was
sl13 year or twenty-five per cent of
the net income of the property
w. r. Hackett, assessor of the ward.
gave testimony to show that the as
sessments were not higher than they
should be and that other property in
the same localities was similarly as
sessed
Thomas A. Barrowman was also
present to complain of his assessment,
but after he went on the stand he dis
covered that the county commission
ers had reduced his assessment at the
time when he appealed to them. His
complaint was therefore withdrawn.
The city assessment side of the case
will be heard today at i.30 p. M.

"Uncle George" Also.

''It seems that there is no longer
any doubt but that George D.
Tillman will be in the race for
governor. It was positively stated
on the street yesterday, by one who
is in position to know that Col
George Tillman has finally
consented to re-enter politics. The
following was also given out in
regard to Col. Tillman's plans:
He will not make the race on an
anti-dispensary platform. however
as has been reported. His position
on the whiskay question will be to
allow each county to select fol
itself prohibition, high license OF
the dispensary, as it sees fit, this:
in his opinion being true local
self government and one of the
fundamental principles OF
democracy. He will also advocate
change in the present system OF
county government and make a
determined fight for the betterment
of the public school system. He
will run as a candidate of no fac.
tion, but with the hope that he
may be able to reunite the
democracy in South Carolina. He
will not only promise to reduce
taxes, but will reduce them. The
people are groaning under this
burden.
For long time Col. Tillman
has hesitated to allow the use OF
his name, but it is said that the
petitions and letters from all parts
of the state which have been
sent him asking him to make the
race have finally caused him to
decide to do so.
Some people question on account
of his age, his ability to make the
canvass, but all such mlsgivings.
his friends claim, are without
foundation, and the next campaign
will be made hot by his canvass
He enjoys the best of health and
is as vigorous today as ever. There
is no longer any doubt whatever
but that he is in the race to the
finish. lex.

HERE'S HoPIN'!

Year Amt been the very best;--
Purity hard by trouble pressed;
But the rough way leads ter rest
Here's hopin'!
Maybe craps wnz short; the rills
Couldn't turn the silent mills;
But the lights behind the hills
Here's hopin'!
Where we planted roses sweet
Thorns come up an pricked the feet
But this old worlds hard ter beat
Here's hopin'!
P'r'aps the buildin' that we planned
'Gainst the cyclone couldn't stand;
But, thank God! we've got the land
Here's hopln'!
Maybe flowers we hoped ter save
Have been scattered on grave;
But the hearts still beatin' brave
Here's hopin'!
That we'll see the moruin' light
That the very darkest night
Can't hide heaven from our sight,
Here's hopin'!
