A Lively Scrap Between Attorney Walker and MT Cabaniss-Mr. Jem- ison's Interesting Testimony
 The Days Proceedings.

The Board of Revenue Vaudeville com- pany gave another interesting performance yesterday It is growing to be largely continuous performance. The members of Board of Revenue faces. They are not un- like the bicycle face. There is a pinched. serious and troubled look about them. Chairman Earle's glasses drop peg or two further down on his nose eaoh day. Captain Ward is becoming bit less jocu- lar. MT. Elliott has a habit of crossing more than usual yesterday. In fact, tine Board is having some tough nuts to crack these warm and humid days.
 Every member of the Board changed his shirt yesterday. Mir. McGeever donned sky-blue striped shirt and possessed him. self of necktie in thorough harmony with MT. Earle's suspenders. They are both checked. but a little off in color.
 MT. McAdory was attired in his usual crash coat and vest but had substituted a pair of black trousers. They were of tho old-fashioned broadcloatn variety.
 The Work of the Board
 Many people don't know the purpose of the Board of Revenue. The Board sits on tax assessments. For instance, you turn in your property for taxation at s1.0OO. MT. Wetmore, the back tax commissioner, comes along and concludes in his own than this. He immediately raises you to $1e,o00 and summons you to come before the Board. The Board hears you and hears Back Tax Commissioner Wetmore's attor- neys. It then decides what 1t thinks your property is worth, and puts 1t at that price. You have the right to appeal to the courts if you think they put your property too high, and the back tax commissioner has the right to appeal if he thinks the Board puts your property too low. The back tax commissioner has appealed many cases. The courts will be fun of them later on.
 The back tax commissioner, MT. Wet more like several members of the Board of Revenue, works without his coat. He spends his time largely In running in and out of the court room, getting up evidence. witnesses and raising assessments. After he has done the raising MT. Weakley and Mir Cabaniss do the talking and prosecut- ing before the Board.
 MT. Wetmore is paid in fees. He gets 10 per cent. of all the tax collections on property in excess of the original assess- ment. For instance, already the board has raised local assessments more than $S.000,- 0O0 The county and state taxes on 8, 00o.00o assessments would be about S39,000. MT. wetmore would get 10 per cent. of this. or $S,9OO If he succeeds in raising taxable property to s1O.OOO.0OO his fees will be sl3,- zoo. It is presumed of course, that MT.

About the Vice Presidency.

We have been making some inves-
LEGATIONS into the cause for the abol-
ishing of the vice presidency at the
University and we nave found some
very interesting facts. We know
what we are talking about when we
say that it was the result OF deliber
ate revenge on hepart Of President
Raymond When the legislature
was in session Prof Armstrong, the
vice president, on request, sent to
Charleston communication in
which he showed that the list of
appropriations asked for by the
President in his printed report was
far in excess of the real needs Of the
University; that this list had been
prepared by President Raymond in
consultation with only one member
of the board Of reg snts; that it was
misleading because it was greatly
padded. This private letter acct
dentally became public and since
that time DR.. Raymond has only
waited for his opportunity to strike
at Prof. Armstrong. His statement
in his letter to the Register that
the legislative matter did not come
up at the meeting Of the board at
which the action was taken is in
keeping nth his usual tactics for we
have seen letter from a member OF
the board Of regents present at that
meeting in which he says that the
legislative incident absolutely did
come up.
The attempt Of DR.. Raymond to
explain the abolishing of the vice
presidency by the charge Of official
misconduct on the part OF Prof Arm
strong is the worst sort of misGep-
resentation. We do not doubt that
he made the board believe his
charges; we do not doubt that this
matter had some weight with the
board but when we know the facts
and we have taken pains to find
them out-we are convinced that
these things were trumped up to
cover the real reasons for the action
taken.
We know what accounts were re-
ferred to by Dr. Raymond in bis
charges; we know their amount,
their purposes, to whom payable and
all about them. They were bills
just such as the president orders
paid many times every month.
1t is surprising thing that the
board would allow itself to be mis-
led by the representations of the
president without inquiring any fur
Their into charges so grave. They
could have gotten the facts if they
had looked to the proper sources.
We are not interested in this ques-
ton further than we want to see
justice done and are anxious for the
welfare OF the University when a
professor is not allowed to express
his private opinion and when his
well considered and proper official
acts are distorted and misrepresent-
ed to his injury
