Missouri Valley Got There.

Mo Valley is not so slow. After the
saloon consent petition was defeated
In Harrison county the Mo Valley
business men began scheming for
some way to win. Accordingly the
city expenses were cut down to the
lowest point for want of revenue.
The fire department was ordered
abandoned, the electric lights shut off
and the po!ics dismissed because there
was no income to pay them But
that wouldn't do, so the business mon
began q canvass to gain the saloon
consent under the provision of the law
which permits cities OF the second
class to licence saloons provided the
consent of 80 per cent of the inhabi-
tants of slid city can be obtained.
Here is where Mo Valley came to the
front. Prohibition sentiments were
sunk, religion was buried AMI moral
objections to saloons we're sent ND on
the bluffs to air off, while the business
interests of the town took turn at
he whee'. Every body singned the
petition and it became scramble to
see who could sign irst.-Denison

The People Of Blacksburg Act
Wisely and Well.

Blacksburg, Jan. 31-At a recent
meeting of our citizens for the
purpose of voting a tax for graded
school purposes, it was shown by
the trustees, that on account of q
gradual increase during the year
of the numbe~ of pupils attending
the school, it would probably be
necessary to employ another teach
or. A levy of four mills was voted
with only six votes in opposition.
Under the present able manage
ment of Superintendent Cameron
with his splendid corps of assist
ants. Miss Moore, Miss Chapman
and the Misses Chapman, the
school has attained a high degree
of proficiency and prosperity.
Our city council recently passed
an ordinance exempting from tax
alton for period of five years, all
manufacturing enterprises, with q
capital of $4,000 and over, that
should be built Within the incor.
porate limits. The ordinance WE
unanimously ratified by the citi-
zens at an election held for that
purpose.

To the Taxpayers Of Pickens and
Wise Townships.

I desire to call your attention to
a clause in a letter addressed to
you by "Croft & Tillman" in the
Edgefeld Advertiser and the Ed
gefeld Chronicle OF Jan. 31st, in
reference to the bonded indebted
ness of Pickens and Wise Town.
ships, which reads as follows:
"Although the legislature of
1893 passed an act to make levy
which would have raised about
$175.OO, the County Auditor failed
or refused TO put it on his books,
although be promised the Hon. J.
VIM. Thurmond that he would do
80. This left us with absolutely no
fun,ls with which to continue the
fight, although we did 80 at our
own cost. The levy for 1899 will
raise not quite $25000."
1t is my purpose to say to you
that the above statement is incor-
rect and misleading, and possibly
intended to lead the tax-papera of
Edgefeld county to believe that l
have "falled or refused" to do my
duty as County Auditor. This,
however, I am glad to leave to the
honest decision of the people.
There was an act passed by the
legislature of 1898 allowing a levy
of one-half mill OH the property of
Pickens Township for the purpose
of fighting the payment of certain
railroad bonds if go decided by the
people of said township, which
levy would have raised about
$4,000 instead of s175.00. Not
withatanding the legislature did
levy such a tax. I did not put it on
the tax books, and why3 Because,
by not doing 80 I did my duty BY
complying with the requirements
of the law by which an auditor is
governed.
This act was incorporated in the
general supply act, and thereby il
became the duty of the Comptrolle'
General to give notice of such te
