A LESSON TO VOTERS.

The people OF this county should
thank the members Of the Levy Court
for their good work They have DEM
onstrated that it is a simple business
proposition to run our financial affairs
as they should be. to make necessary
improvements, and yet to reduce the
tax rate
The reform began when by act Of
Legislature two members were added
The men appointed by the Governor
proved to be men Of integrity and capa-
city. There were other members of the
court Of the same fibre. but they had
been in a minority Then a new era
began. Under the presidency Of Mr..
willits secrecy was abandoned and
business methods were introduced. One
member was indicted and resigned, and
the Governor appointed a man to take
his place. Since then there has not
been a breath OF scandal against the
court, not suspicion OF inoompetency.
AAltI .AHt tittNAtu bWV years AbV we
learned another lesson-that what one
honest and competent Official may do.
another may do. Mr.. winits had
made an excellent president and had
revolutionized the methods of the
court. yet Mr Chandler in the same
position has carried the work on with
out departing from the high standard
set by his predecessor. Mr.. Ewart was
"a thoroughly competent and efficient
member. but his successor Mr.. Hop
kins. has given service equally effio-
lent and faithful
SO we need not be depressed over the
fact that new court is to be elected
il we are determined to regard only the
fitness Of candidates. For every faith
ful public servant there may be am
other If we win only use good judg-
ment In selecting him. The people OF
this county IN the new court viii get
what they deserve; If the tax rate shall
be increased without reason, then they

News From the Front Is Eagerly
Awaited.
ST. Petersburg, June 29-No further
advices from the front have been re-
ceived, though news from General
Kuropatkin and Rear Admiral Without
Qn command of the naval force at
Port Arthur is eagerly awaited. The
usual rumors Of heavy fighting pervade
the city. but they are based wholly on
the fact that the armies are in close
touch.
Though It appears now from General
Kuropatkin's tactics that a heavy en-
gagement may be deferred for some
days. it is possible that the Japanese
may rush matters, but it is not gener-
ally expected here that General Kuro-
patkin will give battle until he reaches
position Of his own selection.
1t may clarity the military situation
to explain tnat the country in which
the armies are now coming into con.
tact consists Of a series OF mountain
chains running parallel with the rail.
way alongside of which the Russians
advancing. Fenshui, Molten and Ia
are all passes which take their names
from the mountains over which they
run. General Kuroki. who has hereto
fore been east of these mountains, is
! advancing to the westward from Stu
yen through a very rough country. and
his columns must traverse the passes
named before emerging into the more
open country along the railway, ap
proximatcly abreast of Tatchelliao
Haicheng and Iiaoyang. The Rus
sian outposts and the Japanese ad
vance are now in close touch at al
these passes. The Russians. after
harasslng the japanese advance from
each Of these positions. are falling
back on General Kuropatkin's mali
body which is supposed to be some
where between Liaoyang and Tatche
lSiao.
General Kuropatlin is now moving
slowly northward along the railway
and wherever he makes his stand there
will be precipitated what is expected
to be the decisive battle Of the cam
paign.
There is the greatest eagerness 70
news from Port Arthur, but nothinl
definite concerning the situation Their
is known. A report that Rear Ad
miral Without sailed OFF after givinl
battle to the japanese receives tn
most credence.
