THE BILL WHICH Mr.. WILLIAMS WILL
LIKELY SETTLE.

II Sheriff Nance should succeed in having
Mr.. Williams brought back, and If, upon his
trial he should be convicted, he Will likely
settle the entire cost of sending the militia to
Calhoun Fails, and he will repay the Sheriff
for all other expenses incurred In getting the
defendant in Court. The act OF inducing
laborers to leave the farms after being sup
ported all winter, under contract, is q serious
matter for our farmers and involves the vel.
fare Of the agricultural interests Of the coun-
try, and MIR. Williams's effort to evade the
license may prove serious one to him.

HON. LAWRENCE TOWNSEND.

The appointment of Hon. Bellamy
Storer as minister to Spain caused a
vacancy at Brussels, Belgium, which
has been filled by the appointment
of Hon. Lawrence Townsend to that
position. Mr.. Townsend has been at
the head of the American representa-
tives at Lisbon, Portugal, where he
has rendered excellent service to this
government, and it is felt that in his
more responsible position at Brussels
he will serve with great credit to his
country. Mr.. Townsend is from
Pennsylvania, where he is counted a
frst-rate lawyer, being not only thor
pughly versed in legal matters in our
own land but deeply read in lnterna
tional law as well. He has always
been regarded as gifted diplomat.
But he has exceeded the expectations
of his best friends by the able man
ner in which he managed affairs
while minister to Portugal, through
the touchy times of the war with
SPAIN So we'll did he care for the
interests of our country that some
weeks ago he was considered to be
a good selection as minister to Spain.
AS soon as Mr.. Storer leaves for his
new post at the Spanish capital,
Mr.. Townsend will take up his new
duties at the capital of Belgium.

and Representatives to make their
plans accordingly. There is lots Of
work ahead of Congress, and if there
is no extra session, the House cannot
hope to get down to business before
the lst of January, because the new
Speaker could not get the Commit
tees arranged before that date. An
extra session would undoubtedly
enable all that to be done beforehand
and would greatly expedite legisla-
ton of all kinds. Many think, also
that it would be good politics to call
an extra session, not only because it
would shorten the Speakership con
test, but because it would give more
time to act upon the financial bill,
which has been prepared by the
House Caucus Committee, and allow
it to get before the country and be
fully discussed and understood be-
fore the excitement of the President
ial campaign begins. The need Of
Legislation for our new possessions,
especially Hawaii and Porto Pico, is
also an argument for an extra session

CLEANING UP OLD TAXES.


According to laws passed by II I
Legislature, all real proper +.
u on which the taxes are due for ICY,
and the previous years is to be soi'
next May. The new feature OF tn
sale is that the state will transfer ~
absolute title to the purchaser, The
certificate of sale then to be RECORDED
the same as any deed and to be primt
facie evidence of title. The law pr
vides that sixty days prior to the sail
the county auditor must mail to eacl
delinquent notice of the sale, tn,
amount dueupon the real estate fm
taxes and penalties, and notice mn-
be- personally served upon all occu
pants of lands to be sold, he mus
also advertise the sale in a newspaper
In offering the land for sale the audi
tor shall, at public vendue, state the
amount of taxes, penalties and costs
due, and shall ask for bids, offering
first to sell it to him who will pay the
greatest amount above the taxes anC
penalties, but if no bidder shall Offer
to pay such amount due, or more, thu
property shall then be offered to The
bidder who will pay the next highest
sum, less than the amount of taxes
interest and penalties. No land can
be- sold for less than so per cent of
the original taxes, but shall be bid in
by the state.
The effect of this law will be to
absolutely clean up all taxes delin--
quent, and will bring thousands OF
dollars into the public treasury.
Afterwards, an extra effort will
probably be make to keep the taxes
paid up, and the effect of the for
feited sale will be beneficial and last
ing, but on the ether hand it may
lead to endless litigation.
