WORK OF THE STATE BOARD.

The state board Of equalization met
in Columbia on Tuesday to figure on
property valuations in the state, ana
especially to try to arrive at some
conclusion with regard to the recently
proposed basis o. assessment at the
rate Of IS per cent. Of actual values.
Soon after the board convened, 1t de-
veloped that there was considerable diff
ference of opinion as to what was the
most equitable course to pursue. There
was present also a large number Of cot
ton mill men who were unable to agree
as to how their respective properties
should be. assessed, whether on the
basis of stock valuation, or the number
of spindles, and it was evident that the
problems by which the board was con-
fronted were quite serious. Several
York county mill men appeared before
the board, and the daily papers refer
to them as follows:
Mr.. Springs had no objection to the
figures for the Fort Mill mills, in York.
Mr Fewell, Of the Arcade mills, pro-
tested against paying on the debts or
the mills. He asked for $SS,SS0 on the
stock and to be exempted from taxa
ton on 100000 bonds.
Mr.. Johnson, of the Highland Park
mills, of York county, had no objection
to the valuation Of the stock, but wan
ted the valuation fixed at $123,4 ,487 in
stead Of $2OS,333. The board accepted
this.
The York Cotton mills wanted a re-
duction Of assessment. This is mill
that got into debt and issued bonds to
meet it's obligations. They wished the
valuation put at $150,O0O, plus Is per
cent for the appreciation in values.
and the book value Of the stock Is 1l5.
He objected to the rs per cent. valua-
ton.
The York county member [Mr. SMITH
was facetious about getting no returns
from the Chicora mills, in Rock Hill.
If the mill was heavily assessed possi-
bly, someone would be heard from. The
mill was running today and no report
has ever been received.

limit. There are still a few delin
quents; but that Is always the case.
There Is not a little interest in the
approaching sale Of tine T. B. McClain
residence lot. The amount Of mortgage
is $2,5OO and there Is no doubt Of the
fact that it will bring that sum, but
as to how much more remains to be
seen.
r. The York Cotton Mills company
declared a dividend Of per cent. at Its
recent annual meeting. The affairs OF
the company are now considered to be
in very satisfactory shape, considering
all of the many difficulties with which
it has had to contend. and the stock
holders are very much encouraged as
to the future.

Work on the wells that are being
bored at the York Cotton mills had been
suspended until few days ago on ac-
count Of the press Of other matters re-
quiring attention; but has now been
resumed. Altogether a half dozen or
more wells have peen started; but In at
least four cases the wells had to be
given up on account Of hard rock, to
attempt to bore through which was not
considered advisable. Up to date two
first -class wells have been drought
in" One of them is rs feet and the 9TH
er only 40. Together they yield 60 gal
Ions of water per minute, and 1t Is es-
tmated that If four more wells can be
secured of equal capacity, there will
be an abundance of water to supply all
the demands of the mill. The work of
boring for additional wells. of course.
will be resumed. .....

pondent reports him as saying that he
has lots of friends in York, Chester and
Fairfield and that the. man who beats
him will be governor. There is no

For some time past bees have been
annoying the family of James R. Glenn
ents. of Rochester N. Y. Every day
Or SO a bee WOULD crawl out OF the
opening made for one of the sliding
doors between the sitting room and
The parlor. Lazily poising itself, the
bee would fly about the room until its
career was cut short by a slap from the
palm of Mr.. Clements or somebody else
in the house But another bee would
come forth to take the place of the
slaughtered one.
II finally dawned upon Mr. Clements
that he was keeping bees in his house.
The discovery made no particular i'm
preston on him until the other day.
when one of them ssung him.
Hot water was thereupon procured,
and the spot whence the bees issued
was deluged with it. but hot water was
a failure so far as concerns the exter-
mination of the bees So were other
devices for circumventing insect ma
rauders in the homes of men
While Mr.. Clements was still hot
upon the trail of the bees, another
member of the family came into con-
tact with one Of the small disturbers
and, after /. brief struggle although
the bee was destroyed. a couple of
pieces of furniture were sacrificed and
the happiness of the family was dis
turbed.
That night carpenters we're sent for
and upon the Gay following there was
a sound of loud hammering and rip
ping and tearing of wood Mr. Glenn
ents, from another part of the house,
directed the attack.
The workmen tore away a couple OF
parti. ons and then discovered that
whole swarm of bees had taken up its
aboCe there. Many had perished, but
,till there was a large, active conting-
eos, and they resisted the intrusion.
But sweet were the fruits of victory.
Honey; bushels of it," shouted one
OF the carpenters, tearing into the
room where Mr. Clements was sitting.
Further investigation after the bees
had been driven away, showed the
presence Of thirty pounds of delicious
honey. 1t cost Mr.. Clements $1S5 to
Dut his house in repair-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
