The Buddhists believe that happi
ness, Nirrana, consists in self eface
ment, oblivion. The young Buddhaa
began life by sitting unsupported II
the air just after birth. Their motherr
attained Nirvana Immediately. and
they, the Buddhas, reached Nirvana II
various queer ways.
One earnest Buddha, one Of the earli
est Of the long line, earned the "Nibou
ia" as follows:
A hawk was about to devour small
bird. Said the Buddha to the bird OF
prey:
81 beseech thee, leave this little crea
ture In peace. will give thee its
weight from my own flesh"
Down from heaven came q pair OF
scales, and the transaction was accom-
plished. The small bird sat on one side
Of the scales, and the Buddha began
putting slices of his body into the other
side, while the bird of prey looked on
with an evil eye. AS the Buddha cary
ed himself up the little bird seemed tc
get heavier and heavier. The beam OF
the scales did not move until the las!
particle Of the saints body vas put in
the scales.
The Buddhists' legends do not tell
how the saint managed to carve up his
last few fragments, but that IS not i'm
portant. Which do you think was hap
pier, the Buddha who entered into Mir
vana as the little bird flew away or the
bird Of prey that made hearty meal
Of the saints flesh and sailed off de-
lighted with his bargain?-New York

The Log OF a Ship.

4 ships log is an instrument for
measuring the rate at which the resse!
is going and consists Of three parts
viz. the log chip. the log line and the
log glass. The principle is simply this:
A light substance thrown from the
vessel ceases to partake Of the motion
OF the vessel as soon rs it strikes the
water and will be left behind on the
surface after certain interval. II the
distance Of the ship from this station
ary object be measured, the approx.
mate rate Of sailing will be given.
The log chip is the float, the log line
is the measure Of the distance, and the
log glass defines the interval Of time.
In the old days the heaving Of the log
required skill and watchfulness, but
since the patent log has come into use
no skill is required in finding the speed
Of a vessel 1t is regulated by clock.

The plan would encounter the
same troubles that the old county
government plan did. But an
other great objection to the
measure is that it seeks to re-
move the authority of the people
to regulate their own local school
affairs and have that authority
through the appointment and
auditing Of salaries. placed in
the hands of the State Superin-
tendent of Education. We had
rather run our own local affairs

TAX RETURNS,
OFFICE COUNTY AUDITOR.
CLARENDON COUNTY.
N1anninU S G. Dec. o6. 1900.

III I.
Manning. S. c.. Dec. 26, 1900.
The Auditors Office will be open from
the first day of January, 1901. to the
twentieth day of February, 1901, tc- re-
ceive returns of real estate and per-
sonal property in Clarendon County for
the year 1901.
The Auditor will be at the following
places in person on the dates mentioned
to receive returns:
Wilson's, Thursday. January 18th,
1901.
Alcolu, Friday, January 18th, 1901.
w. NJ. Youmans'. Saturday, January
10Th, 1901.
Saul's Store, Monday, January 2lst.

New Zion, Tuesday, January 22d,

S. C. Turbeville's Store, Wednesday.
January 23rd, 1901.
J. F. McFaddin's Store, Thursday,
January oath, 1901.
McIntosh's Store, Midway township,
Friday, January 25th, 1901.
Taxpayers return what they own on
the first day OF January, 1901.
All real estate and personal property
must be returned this year.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer IN
full, also make a separate return for
eacheparty for the township the prop
erty is in, and where the taxpayers
owns realty. to insert the postotfice as
their place of residence, and those who
only own personal property, to give the
party's name who owns the land they
live on as their residence, which aids
the taxpayer as well as the County
Treasurer in making the collections
and preventing errors.
Every male citizen between the ages
OF twenty-one and sixty years on the
first day of January, 1901, except those
incapable of earning a support from
being MANNED, or from other causes.
shall be deemed taxable polls. This
does not apply to Confederate soldiers
over fifty years of age.
All the returns that are made after
the twentieth day of February will have
penalty of so per cent. added thereto,
unless out of the county during the
time of listing. Not knowing the time
of listing is no excuse.
The assessing and collecting of taxes
is all done now in the same year, and
we have to aggregate the number and
value OF all the horses, cattle, mules,
ETC., and their value that there is in
the county. and have same on file in the
Comptroller Generals Office by the
thirtieth day of June each year. And
from that time to the first day of Octo-
Der each year the Auditor and Treas
urer's duplicate has to be completed
and an abstract of the work in the
Comptroller's Office by that time, which
will show at glance that the Auditor
has no time to take in returns or do
anything else much, between the first
day of March and the first day of Octo-
Der each year but work on the books
and blanks. Therefore hope that all
taxpayers will do me the favor of max
ing their returns in time.

Perhaps the greatest question
Of national importance now be-
fore the country and affecting
the governments future policy is
the question before the supreme
court to decide whether citizen
ship shall be extended to the
natives of Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands, or in other
words, whether possession shall
mean citizenship and the consti,
tuition Immediately follow the
flag. Without saying anything
as to the policy Of land grabbing,
yet in the present condition in
so far as we are able to Judge we
are somewhat on the side of the
government. 1t has never yet
been the policy Of the govern
ment that the constitution i'm
mediately follow the flag, as not
able examples all of our Indian
tribes, the citizens Of Alaska and
the other territories, and those
Of the District Of Columbia.
When our country was born
the flag came first, but it was
some little time before the con-
stitution got here, and a very
considerable time before it eX-
tended to both races in the South.

The Legislature will in all
probability pass the measure ap-
propriating fifty thousand dollars
for the South Carolina aud West
Indian Exposition. The way
that old Charleston is herself
showing the great fair is I'M
pressing the rest of the State,
and it will be a wise investment
to make this appropriation, not
for the sake of helping Charles
ton, but for the sake of advanc-
ing project intended to place
our States resources before the
entire world, aud one that will
return many fold good results.
The naval station is now also an
assured thing for Charleston,
and the historic old city has rea-
son to hope for bright and
prosperous future.

The great Chinese trouble is

We would not presume to ad-
wise our delegation in the Legis-
lature now they should vote on
any subject, but we hope they
will look carfully intoa bill which
has been introduced and which
is calculated to very radically
change the present public school
system. 1t comes up embodv-
ing the views of the State Sup
erintendent OF Education, many
OF which are good, but the meas
nfe also contains some objections
which viii probably overbalance
whatever good might result from
so sweeping q change. couched
in the catchy language Of "a
plan 70 provide expert supervi-
sion Of public schools" 1t will
be seen that this bill does away
with the county Superintendent
Of Education under that name.
