SOME MORE MIXTURE.

The new county government law has
been re-enacted with amendments.
York county comes under the law as
heretofore enacted, and there has also
been incorporated special amend
ment appliable to this county alone,
and which seems to complicate matters
considerably. This amendment is as
follows:
Provided, further, in the county of York
there shall be appointed by the governor
upon the recommendation OF the delega-
| ton in the general assembly, three dis
Greet persons in each township, one OF
whom shall be chairman Of the township
board of commissioners, and he shall at
tend the meetings of the county board OF
commissioners at least quarterly, and
shall receive Sl5 per annum, payable
quarterly, for such attendance, and such
township board shall be the township as
SCISSORS for their respective townships, and
be paid the per diem and mileage herein
provided.
Another amendment provides that
the supervisor of York county shall
receive a salary of 5000 instead of $500
as heretofore; but the increase is not
to take effect until after January l,
1900.
The probable effect of the rather
remarkable amendment providing for
the appointment of township commits
sioners, will be matter for very care
full consideration. The county board
of commissioners, under the act, con-
sists of the supervisor and two COM
missioners. Of that fact there Is no
question, and in this county the board
is composed of T. G. Culp, W. S.
Wilkerson and E. A. Crawford. The
question now is what will he the status
of chairmen of the township boards OF
commissioners who will be required
"to attend the meetings of the county
boards of commissioners at least quar-
terly ?"
If these township chairmen are to
have equal voice in the county gov
ernment, with the three already pro-
vided for, then the county board here
after will consist of IL members. There
seems to be in the act, however, moth.
ing that suggests such a situation.
The powers and duties of the town.
ship chairmen are not defined further
than that they are required to attend
the meetings of the county boards.
Whatever may have been the intent of
the rather peculiar amendment, under
its wording these additional representa-
tives can only participate in the meet
ings of the county board as spectators.
There was more or less discussion
about the amendment around the court

should be somewhat greater than the
present miserable mail service in the
rural districts, the people Of these same
rural districts are as much entitled 10
free delivery, at least to the extent
proposed, as are the people of metro
politan districts to the elaborate and
expensive service they enjoy.
1t is to be hoped that the Stokes
Tillman amendment will soon become
law. If does, it will Immediately
improve the present mail service in the
rural districts, and it will entitle
Messrs. Stokes and Tillman to the
sincere gratitude of very large pro-
portion of the people Of the United
States.

The protestation of Admiral Dewey

could satisfactorily account for it. The
idea that it was probably made as the
result of personal pressure for purely
political purposes was expressed free
ly. This may or may not be an in
justice but an explanation of the sit
uation from a standpoint of common
sense, justifying the amendment on a
basis of practical utility, would be
quite timely. THE ENQUIRER is un-
able to furnish such an explanation.
Possibly it can be furnished by some
member of the York delegation. =.

Greenwood special of the 22d to The
News and Courier: About 100 armed
and more or less infuriated citizens
from the Phoenix section came to towr
last night in search of Joe Tolbert
who has not been here since last
Thursday, which fact, it is said, was
known to the would-be-lynchers; but
they thought to terrorize the town by
their presence, their grievance being
that Tolbert bad put up at one of oul
hotels and some of the leading citizens
had expressed the wish that the Tol
herts be allowed 10 wind up their busi
uess here. Except for the unnecessary
abuse and intimidation of our chief Of
pulice, for which there is likely to be
some prosecutions, the crowd was or.
d,rly while in town. Quite number
of very prominent citizens were in the
crowd-to prevent lawlessness, it is
claimed by their apologists.

dispensary officials must give bonds.
The effort to secure the apportion-
ment of school funds 80 that only
those counties which maintain dispen-
saries shall received any part of the
dispensary profits failed, as should
have been the case. The proposition
looks fair enough on its face; but it
involves constitutional questions and
questions of equity that far outweigh
all considerations of expediency. The
senate realized this fact clearly, and
for that reason clung to the plan OF
apportioning school funds according
to enrolment.
The law enabling telegraph and tel
ephone companies to condemn rights
of way along railroads fills long felt
want. Heretofore the Western Union
Telegraph company, by virtue of con-
tracts with the railroads has enjoyed
exclusive privileges in this state. The
new law will open the way to compe-
tition.
A gratifying characteristic of the ses
sion Just closed has been a most no.
ticeable absence of partisan feeling.
There is reason to believe that the old
days, in which prejudice stole away
mems brains, are gone. Upon the

servative. There have as yet develop.
ed no leaders of striking ability; but

is better than it has been for number
of years.

The hIncse Family.

One OF the most striking elements
IN Chinese life is its solidarity. AS Is
we'll known the family has much
larger function than with US The
marriage OF son does not lreak in
upon the family life. but enlarges it,
tic daughter-in-law becoming incor-
porated in the family of her husband.
Several generations may be welded to-
gether in one home, the authority Of
the elders becoming the more absolute
with time. Growing old is certainly
robbed in China of some OF the ter

man grows the more weight is accord

increases with the years. and grand
