TO Prevent County Shortages.

The Columbia correspondent Of the
News and Courier writes as follows
concerning an important matter: 1t
would certainly be most important
and valuable if the taxation commits
m.ion would, in connection with its re-
port on the best plan to increase the
revenues Of the State and maintain
cash basis. take up the matter OF the
better enforcement Of the present
laws and the avoidance of complica-
tions in the accounts OF the county
officers. Of course it is only natural
to expect that officers should get into
trouble, but the system Of making SET
Elements seems to be wrong in some
way when. years after the shortage
has occurred, experts go behind the
records OF the county treasurer and
find shortages amounting to thousands
of dOllhr. If settlements were made
every year only after an examination
of the books by an expert all this trou-
BILE would be saved. The law provides
chat each and every voucher should be
examined by the county auditor and
foreman of the grand jury or a repre-
sentative of the grand jury. The
county auditor and the foreman Of the
grand jury are responsible for the cor
rectneSs OF the settlement and that all
of the vouchers are correct, and the
Comptroller General or his representa-
tive simply witness the settlement.
The Comptroller is not supposed to go
into details and examine all vouchers,
and would not have the time to do so.
II the county auditors and foremen of
the grand juries do not do what is eX-
pected under the law, largely from in
competency. and years afterwards an
expert has to be employed to 90
around and straighten out things and
discover and settle shortages, would it
not be- better and more business-like
to have these examinations at the out
set and have settlements that amount
to a tinality?

He Comes High.

Public attention was recently at
tracted to an imposing incident that
took place at Oyster Bay. The COM
bined squad cons OF the United States
navy were assembled in order, as the
Washington correspondent for the
New York World puts it, to make a
holiday for President Roosevelt, his
family, and a few invited friends" :"
The World correspondent says that
the bringing of the ships to the preSi-
dents summer home involved the cX-
penditure of a large amount Of public
money amounting almost TO quarter
of million dollars and all for the pur-
pose Of providinga holiday for the pres.
ident, the members OF his family and
his guests. The World correspondent
says: Naval officers are especially
critical and point out that the Oyster
Bay meeting resulted not only in valu-
able loss OF time 10 the squadron.
which was interrupted for one whole
week in the summer lnaneuverS, but
also in serious damage to several OF
the ships and small craft. During
the review 2,6O+ shots were fired from
the six-pounders. The cost Of the
saluting charge Of a six-pounder is 10
cents" On the occasion OF this re-
markable exhibit at the presidents
summer home, an accident occurred TO
the Massachusetts. 1t is said that
this great vessel was hurrying out OF
Bar Harbor in i fog to catch up with
the other ships, and that it ran onto
Egg Rock, and that had it not been
for the captains anxiety 10 reach
Oyster Bay with the rest Of the fleet,
the Massachusetts, would have stayed
at anchor until the thick fog lifted.
The Barry and Decatur collided AND
this the Worlds Washington cores
pondent attributes to the en-
thusiasm of the president to call for a
dying wedge" 1t is estimated that
to repair the damage caused by this
nlaneuver at least $50, 900 will be
necessary. Its claimed that The cost
of coal in this utterly useless holiday
affair will amount to very large sum
and altogether it is said that the peo-
pie of the United States expended
very nearly one quarter OF a million
dollars in order to provide President
Roosevelt and his guests with days
entertainment.

Eminent sciectists asseT: that the
small toe Of the human foot will be
crowded out Of existence by the end OF
the present century. Such is the view
of chiropodists generally and of physi-
clans who have given the matter more
than passing consideration, says the
Philadelphia Press.
Just as, according to Darwin the tail
was crowded out of the human bony
skeleton many ages back because it had
no useful functions to perform. just as
the vermiform appendix, the only ap
parent function Of which is to necessi
tate dangerous and expensive opera
tions, will eventually find no place in
human anatomy, so. according to pres
ent indications, the little toe must ultl
mately disappear altogether.
Whether or not the big toe is all that
is needed in walking and running IS
question which has not yet been satls
factorily answered. but the fact re-
mains that athletic instructors and
coaches have universally striven to de
yelop the big toe at the expense Of the
others in the training Of fast runners
and football players, and to that END
the shoes have been made so narrow
that any possibility of using the little
toe has been precluded.
Between the modern method of walk
ing and the wearing of tight fitting
shoes the little toe is doomed to an ear.

Occasionally one will hear the re-
mark: "Iwish I was out OF this town"
an6 then one feels like saying, Il
wish you were, too," for man who

and splitting, telling obscene stories,
cursing the town. finding fault with
his grand mother because she was a
woman, claiming that the merchants
are lot Of thieves, that the lawyers
and newspaper men would skin man
to finish and a whole lot more, is a
nuisance and an abomination. Any
town pestered with one or more Of
these worthless would be justified in
exercising cowhide authority on the
bosom of their pants. No one is
obliged to live where he is not suited.
II one hasn't a-helpful word for the
business enterprise and institutions
of his town he should so way back
and sit down." If things don't suit
you, move to where they Go. a growler

terprise killer every time. 1t would
pay town to donate S. and tell him

Ever s,:jce the hour IL which Christ

false teachers, aayr the Atlanta Jour
Iai some claiming even to be Mes
Siah. there has been i regular success,
sion of such impostors, differing only
in the buldneSS Of. their claims and
the success of their decep+ions. The
present age-alike skeptical and Gre
dulous--has produced an unusually
large number Of such false claimants
to divinity. In America we have not
only Dowie: with his long hair for
appearance and long head for buSl-
ness, but q multitude OF lesser pr
phetS, setting up similar claims. In
England, however, is perhaps the
most remarkable example OF deluded
fanaticiSm in the history OF such
movements. Gaunt and huge on the
bare eminence Of Chatham hill, near
London, stands an unfinished build
ing one hundred and forty feet square
and about one hundred feet high--an
unsightly cube, with three square
towers-rooftless and with the many
score of windows unglaZed and yawn-
ing. 1t was begun by sect Of religi-
Gus enthusiasts who fancled that it
would afford them security from the
terrors OF the Last Judgment. Twen-
ty years ago, according to writer in
the Strand Magazine, one John White
obtained vast following as divine
parsonage, claiming t, be second in
carnation of the Messiah. Under his
direction this enormous building,
which was designed to reach to the
clouds, was begun and carried for
ward, largely by private subscription.
Forty thousand pounds, or 5000, 900,
had been expended on the structure
when the leader OF the sect died and
the work came suddenly to an end.
His disciples scattered as did those OF
Theldas in the days Of the taxing.
The great tower, like that of Babel on
the plain OF Shinar, was left untin-
ished, monument to the credulity OF
the multitude and the foolishness Of
fanaticism. 1t is strange psychic
defect in the character Of many per-
sons which permits them to be thus

BOIL ALL TIE WATER.-A patient
recently came down with typhoid
fever, in whose household it mad for
years been the custom to boil all the
water used for drinking purposes. AS
the patient had not drunk any un-
boiled water away from home, her
family could not understand how she
could have acquired the disease. 1t
was, however, ascertained that, while
the drinking water had been boiledp
the family had not boiled that used
for washing lettuce, fruit, etc. 1t is
this point that should be impressed
upon the community. If the water
contains typhoid germs, all the water
used in the kitchen should be boiled,
whether it be for drinking, for wash
ing articles of food. or for cleansing
dishes. In cleansing the teeth even
the same precaution should be used.
A MICHIGAN genius has invented
candle which burns slowly and gives
off an ordor which he claims, is pleas
ant to the human senses but death to
mosquitoes. If true, this man has
made a fortune and brought a great
boon to humanity. The mosquito is
one Of the most annoying pests as well
as one of the most prolific carriers Of
diseases with which we have to con-
tend.
