Dating Of tax receipts.

In their report to Judge Sam
Cook, the Coahoma county grand
jury stated that the sheriff Of the
county had been in the habit Of
dating tax receipts back to or be-
lore the frst day of February and
and that it vas found in MANY
cases that ths taxes had not been
paid to this good day. The sher-
1T was charged with the amount
and paid it over but the grand
jury considered that an evasion
OF the law, and made out q list of
all such fictitious receipts that
had been issued and fled them
with their report. The undeastan.
ding is that several other sheriffs
In the state have done the came
thing, and that many Of them will
lose money by their mistaken
kindness.

in youth against hard circumstan-
ces, but inch by inch, foot by foot,
he battled towards the heights.

wealth or Influence, entered into
young manhood armed with cour-
age, conscience and convictions.
HE was Of and from the peO~
pie. He knew the hardships Of
the masses, and he soon became
conspicuous as one who had risen
from the ranks. From young man

has been one of progress, onward
and upward. The same dogge d
courage which impelled him as .
boy to gain knowledge and equip

The Real Problem Being Solved

Columbia, S. c., Special noticed

of this city, concerning the colored
farmers conference, lately organized

the organization is to promote edu-

people of this section In my oDiniOn
1t is good idea in all but the coIored
farmers in other localities don't fol-
low the example Of their Beaufort
brothers.
But the colored farmers of this
state are awakening to the fact that
1t is high time to abolish the mortgage
system, which deprives them of the
real value of their produces, and
causes them to pay low prices for their
provisions
About 8 o'clock Friday morning,

pened in the mill district of this city
