THE supreme court decision in which
it is held that county board of commits
sioners have the right to fix tax levies
for county and township purposes with
out legislative sanction or approval, is
of startling interest and Importance.
Heretofore it has been the custom for
the county boards to recommend the
levies for the approval of the general
assembly; but this arrangement has
not been working without friction, es-
pecially in York county. More than
once we have known the county COM
missioners to make the closest kind of
calculation as to the probable needs of
the county, not failing to take into con-
sideration due regard for proper econo-

COLONEL Willie Joness proposition
that all the senatorial candidates with
draw and leave the field open to the
unanimous selection Of General Wade
Hampton, in the intesest Of harmony
will no doubt receive due consideration
That Wade Hampton easily has the
most distinguished and honorable rec
ord of any man living in South Carroll
ma today, there is little ground for dis
pute. That he has been badly treated
is equally plain. The suggestion OF
Colonel Jones, therefore, Is not to be
lightly dismissed; but it will hardly be
carried out for various reasons. Among
other things there is little reason to
believe that General Hamptons ply
sical health is sufficient to warrant an
attempt at a canvass Of the state. For
another thing, it will be difficult to con-
vince majority Of the people that this
suggestion does not arise out Of a
shrewd political trick. The proposition
does not sound sincere enough. While
Colonel Jones desires other candidates
to withdraw in the interest Of harmony,
he frankly gives as a reason for his
own withdrawal, personal business in
terests. Such situation is not calcu-
lated to promote the contagion of the
desired spirit of generosity. But, after
all, there is no need for any withdraw
ais. The field is open to General
Hampton, and if a majority Of the
white people think it is their duty to
return him to the senate, the fact that
there are other candidates in the race
will not interfere.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1901.

IT would be interesting to know
whether The News and Courier and
other newspapers that have never ac-
cepted the results of the war, contem-
plate a renewal of hostilities. Unless
they do, it would seem that 1t will be
lust as we'll for them to surrender.

Ek-TricIS OF the River.
Many remarkable stories have been
told of the antics Of the Catawba river
during the recent freshets; but the
strangest of them all came to the ears
Of the reporter a few days ago from a
perfectly reliable source. The story Is
to the effect that near Belmont, N. c.,
portions of the river bottom on which
trees were growing to q diameter Of
from IS inches to two feet, washed
down to depth Of six or seven feet, ex-
posing hard earth which bore the print
of old corn rows, horse tracks, etc.

IT Is a well-known fact that the anti
ship subsidy lobby in Washington Is far
more powerful than the lobby on the
other side. The Northern Pacific COM
bination is dead against the proposition.
There is more bribe money for use
against the lobby than there is for 1t.
Insinuations, therefore, Of Interior mo-
tives on the part Of ship subsidy pa
pers made by anti-snlp subsidy papers,
come with bad taste, and not a little
suspicion.

REJECTED BY THE DEPUTIES
EPISCOPALIANS FAIL TO AGREE
ON NEW MARRIAGE CANONS.
Question Now Set at Rest for Another
Three Ycars-The Greatest Fight OF
the Convention Over Section Four of
Canon Thtrty-six, Virtually Forbid

sons,
sons.

| San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 15.-The
troublesome question of marriage and
divorce was set at rest for another
three years to-day by the action of
vention in rejecting both Of the pro-
posed canons on the subject, which was
passed by the house of bishops. The
greatest fight of the convention has
been over section four of canon 36, Vir-
tually forbidding the re- marriage of a
divorced person by priest of the
church. This had passed the house of
bishops and been adopted by all aye
and nay vote in the committee Of whole
by the house OF deputies.
When the committee rose and report
ed it's work to the house, decisive
vote was taken, not only on the trou-
blesome fourth section, but on the en-
tire canon, which was rejected as
whole. Canon 81 which provides for
again after being divorced, met with q.
similar fate.
The house of deputies passed an
amendment to article 10 of the consti-
tuition, permitting modified forms of
worship which, is spirit is similar to
the famous Huntington amendment
recently defeated The amendment
though credited to Dr. McKim of
Washington, was in reality presented
to the convention of three years ago by
DR.. Huntington. The bishops have yet
to act before the amendment can be-
pOO1e mart of tba constitution

capital and labor which is to investi-
gate the subject with view to the
peaceful settlement of disagreements
between employers and workingmen

CASE OF MISS STONE.
Word That She is Hidden in Cave but
Well Treated.

Soft, Bulgaria, Oct. 15.-The parents
| of Madame Tsilka, the Bulgarian
teacher who was captured by brlgands
with Miss Stone, have received another
letter from their daughter urging the
step already taken, namely, stopping
the military pursuit, because the bri-
gands threaten the prisoners with i'm
mediate death in the event Of danger to
themselves.
The writer says that she and Miss
Stone are hidden in subterranean re-
treat and treated courteously.
She also says the only means of Sc
curing their release is to pay the ran
som demanded.
London, Oct. 16.-"The belief is grow
ing here" says a dispatch to the Stan
dard from Constantinople, that the
Bulgarian and not the Turkish govern
ment Is responsible for the retention of
Miss Stone, whose capture was commit
ted with the connivance of Macedonian
agitators, if not with that Of the higher
authorities. The attitude of the latter
toward brigand< bands is most suspi-
cious and very different from what it
was during the time Of Stambuloff.

lows:
III rat Grove appears before me
shall treat him just as I would treat

if he surrenders himself voluntarily,
that will be circumstance that will be
taken into considerati tion as to the fixing
of the bond"
