The County Commissioners met 10
,ssion On Saturday and signed the levy
for the for fiscal year 1901 The levy
rate is 80 cents, slight increase over
last year This is no. due to any
wasteful expenditure of public money.
oa the contrary the iendencey Of the
Commissioners has been ore inclined
to parsimony, but to a reduction of the
taxable basis of the County Heretofore
the large estate o. the late IIoi Richard
II. Edelen, deceased was a healthful con
tributor tow I'd defraying the expenses
Of the County, but the estate being now
settled, and distributed, much OF the
same has become untaxable, having be-
cIme assessable in other sections IF the
country, and much NOT invested in tax
able securities The Commissioners are
t. be congratulated upon the year Of
faithful service
Independence in journalism is grow
ing. 1t is a healthy sign Of the times.
1t means that the people have a better
opportunity to learn the truth, to hear

will not be so easily misled, nor be made
the victims of designing demagogues
who would use them for their own per-
sonal ends Tho reader Of newspaper
which prints the news regardless Of
whether it is in the interest of this or
that faction or party, aud which bodily
expresses its opinions in its editorial
columns without fear of party boss,
will be in better position to make up
his own mind intelligently. Having
all the facts and all views before him,
he can form his own opinion without the
advice of others If be agrees with the
paper which is as independent and
honest a. he should be, ii and good ;
if be holds a different view, we'll and
good, also; he is at least able to form
an intelligent opinion, and to have the
satisfaction of knowing that it is his own

Senator George T. G. Gray was re-
nominsted--a deserved compliment.
Senator Gray has served a four year
term in the Senate and earned an en-

do with shaping the good Legislation en-
acted at the FIRST session of the General
Assembly of 1900, and was most formib-

apart from this he finished his term Of
service as clean as when he took the
oath Of office lie vas a terror to the

conscientiously cast, on the side Of good
government, and as he understood it in

Hin Hnir stond on End.

''Up to five years ago., said pros
nnctor TO q St. Louis Republic reporter,
81 didn't believe in such a thing as
mans hair standing on end" And
then the old gentleman told the story
of the fright that l9l him to change
his mind:
81 WAS in the mountains of Idaho
with a friend, and kye ran short OF
fresh meat, 50 one day l took my gun
and started off alone went into
ravine and was making my way along
little brook when ] came suddenly
E5upOn a queer sight. iENOt four feet III
kfrOnt of NE. in the full blaze of the
t@sun, lay four mountain lions asleep.
Il "FOr half a minute / thought them
dead, bat as / stood, staring at them,
with my heart in my ;mOuth. every one
Of them sprank up with grOwl. And
they faced around at! ne. looking ugly,
shifting the air. with their whiskers
drawn back. showing the white line
of their teeth, switching their tails
and looking like demons.
I : AS tOr me, l StOOu rOOCed 10 the
spot. | couldn't move from sheer fright.
4 queer, numb sensation began in my
ankles and crept up my body, and l
literally felt my hair rise.
81 stood there mOtiOnleSS for several
minutes. Then one of the beasts drop
ped his tail and whined. The others
followed his example. My presence
mystified them. A few seconds later
they turned about and crept away
down the ravine. looking back stealthi-
Iy two or three times to see ME.

scalp was sore to the touch for a week

The South Carolina Iolitical
muddle brought about by thb resig-
nation of United States Senators
Tillman and. McLaurin, who had
two and six years respectively to
serve, has taken an unexpected turn.
Governor McSweeney, was "a can
didate for one of th" place., and
numerous other candidatos wdre bob
bing up daily. The people Of that
State were opposed to Governor Nc
Sweeney entering a heated pplitical
campaign, such as this won; I have
been without resigning thes Gov
ernorship, and if he did that it
would place Senator Tillman's
nephew in the Gubernatorial chair,
a situation not devoutly wished for
boy any Of the candidates. Governor
McSweeney, therefore, decliped to
accept the designations Of tie Sen
ators. Senator McLaurin prompt
ly acquiesced in the GoVemol's ac-
ton, and consented to hold onto his
commission until he expiration of
his term. We have not seen any
such action on Senator Tilkman's
Part-in fact, it is not characteristic
of him to accept any PERSONS $dvice,
and we may soon see him lambast-
ing the Governor with his little
pitchfork, and trying to make him
accept the resignation. Senator
TTillman must have a political var or
all the time, and he would justabout
as soon have the Governor for an
opponent as any one else. The only
real question now is, will the. Gov
ernOr drive? We think not. And
how long will Tillman's manner of
campaigning be submitted toby 4
State like South Carolina?

JOURNALS DELAYED.

The following has been: received
from Secretary Appleyard; "To the
members Of the Florida legislature !:
On account of the State Printer be-
ing short of book paper on which to
print the journals Of Thursday and
Friday last, they will not be mailed
to you until Wednesday next. The
delay has been unavoidable.9n
We find the above in the Times
Union and Citizen of the 18th inst,
over the signature of the Secretary
of the Senate. We appreciate the
spirit of the secretary in making the
excuse, but beg to differ as to the
word <'delay." !.
As matter of fact, and every old
member Of the Legislature will bear
out the statement, the Journals of
both Houses Of the Legislature have
been delivered more PROMPTLY this
session than ever before.
When the Legislature adjourned,
- we were only one dag behind with the
Journals, against three to four days
for every other session for 1he past
ten years.
It is not expected of the, printer
that he will deliver the last two days
Journals for four or five days after
the adjournment. 1t is beyond ques-
Tion an impossiblity, making. as they
do several hundred pages of book
material, and having to bel put t.
press twice, with two separatC
make-ups."
We submit, therefore, tlsat not
withstanding mishaps which NJ
power on earth could avoid, i've hav'
