but they were not sufficient TO hold her
in the blow and before anything could De

Taxes Coming n.

Out of the S1,O22,929.4O which
the State receives from the FIVE mill
tax, the State Treasurer has so far
gotten about $4,000. This is
rather small amount, but most of
the money does not come in until the
last FIVE days Of the year. Consid-
ersble money is needed, however,
the interest on the bonds held In
Charleston, Baltimore and New York
is due January l and it is necessary
to have this money due at the desti-
nation by that time. This amounts to
about $3.50, ,0O0
As result of receiving this money
early the State has been able to take
up two notes amounting to about
$4,000 and it is the hope of the
State officials that it will not be neces-
sary to borrow much more money
this year.

we freely predict that if such men as
Col. Towill was in control of the sys-
tenn in the State we would soon see
a change for the ostter, and we trust
that the Legislature will see it in
that light. The slogan ''only sober

"sit" and s'Set. "

Let us once and for all settle the
"sit and ''set" question. Contrary
to tradition, the hen does not "set. "
The hen "sits." But if you have a
nen that has laid a dozen eggs and
wants to hatch brood of chicks,
you may "set" her. There are no
fewer than eighty-one different
meanings of the word "set," while
of .'sit" there are but twenty-one.
The prophet Jeremiah says: "The
partridge sitteth on EGGS" To sit
as applied to men and animals is to
"caouch," hence the hen crouches on
her nest, or sits on it. Change the
school books, which are full of such
solecisms as, "The hen sets; does
the hen set? The hen does set.''

Last Efforts.

Toxic, Dec. 1.-THE conference
of the elder statesmen of Japan, in
cluding Marquis Ito, and the cabinet
ministers yesterday resulted, accor-
ding to semi official statement, in a
determination TO oppose strong
front to Russia, in view of the latter's &
unsatisfactory reply to the Japanese
proposals.
Another report says it is under
stood that, although the Russian
reply was considered highly unsatis-
factory, the conference decided to
make another and probably last at
tempt to arrive at friendly settle
ment.
The situation is considered grave.
Even the most sober section of the
japanese press declares it is the time
for action.
