important Tax Decision.
The State Supreme Court has rendered
n most important decision relative to
taxation. 1t holds that County Boards
of Commissioners have tho right to fix
and collect taxes for county purposes, or
in other words it holds "'That the power
to collect tho taxes for tho subdivision
of the State is conferred by tho COnsti-
tuition upon tho fiscal authorities of such
subdivision whether tho tax was created
by any act Of tho General Assembly or
by the said corporate authorities under
an act of tho General Assembly,"
Tho County Commissioners of Oconco
| imposed an additional levy of ono-half
mill for road tax. The Southern Rail
way paid under protest. Tho Circuit
| Judge held that tho tax levied by. tho
County Board was illegal. The Supreme
Court revorscs tho Circuit Court and
holds that tho county has tho right to
impose an additional road tax to tho ono
mill for road tax already in tho Oconoo
county supply bill as passed by the
countios having tito right TO directly fix
| and collect their own taxes has often
been mootcd and seems to bo sustained
by tho Supreme Court.

According to q historian. this Is the
WAY the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was in the time of Hughes
Caput. Two of his most faithful serv-
ants, a man and woman, had grown
gray in his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling the woman. he said: Your
service is great. greater than the mans.
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
n man. and therefore 1 will give you a
reward. At your age 1 know of none
better than q dowry and a husband.
The dowry Is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with you for five
and twenty years is willing TO marry
YOU, then the husband is ready"
"Your majesty" said the Old peasant.
chow is 1t possible that we should mar
ry, having already silver hairsT"
"Then it shall be silver wedding"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them In plenty.
Such was the origin Of the silver
wedding, a custom which, spreading all
through France, subsequently became
known to the world.
