THE ENQUIRER a jug Of molasses that
was sent to him recently by Mr.. w. l..

ty. The molasses is Of Mr.. Tatums
own manufacture from the regular sug-
ar. cane, which grows to much better
satisfaction in Beaufort than in York,
and the product Is Of very fine quality.
Tax Collections.
Up to Monday night tax receipts had
been issued to the value Of about $54,-
900. The treasurer was too busy yes
terday to take time to give any fur
ther idea of the progress of his work.
He was several days behind with his
mail, however, and including the nu-
merous long lists that have not yet
been worked up, the probability Is that
his collections are about as close as u.s.
ual.
