que tales inpuestos son gravo-

paga en- los diferentes condados
para todos fines es un eXceso, una
enormidad y una carga demacia.
do pesada para que la soporten

PARLoR OAR SERVICE.
Receiving More Business Every Day
--Patrons Should Show Appre-
citation Of Southern. ....

The Herald and News IS Informed
that as the people begin to appreciate
the comfort and safety of the parlor
cars which the Southern has recently
put in service on its trains Nos. II
and 10 between Columbia and Green
vile, the travel on these trains in
creases. Of course it should be un-
derstood that if these parlor cars are
not sufficiently patronized to warrant
the road to continue them, they will
not lie kept in service. The cost is
very small and it is hoped that these
oars will be used by the travelling
public 50 that they may be made per-
manent. 1t should be remembered
that the Southern Railway put these
cars on without any request or peti-
ton or solicitation from the patrons
of the road. thus evidenciug on the
part Of the Southern its desire to give
the people along its line the very best
service possible, and if sufficient ell
couragemeht is given Of course the
trains will be made permanent. II
is understood that these ears are
equipped so as to be utilized as cafe
cars, and all that is necessary is to
have them stocked. It would seem if
they were made cafe cars that it
would make them more popular. These
trains do not stop any where FOR din
ner between Greenville and Colum-
bia, distance of about $50 miles.
If the authorities had assurance
that the public would appreciate the
cafe service, it is probable that it
would be put on. Until this is done,
however, the public should show its
appreciation of the desire on the part
of the Southern Railway to give its
patrons the very best service by Civ
ing these parlor cars liberal pat.
rona9e. Since they have been put on,
we should regret very much if the
necessity for their removal should
arise and We do not believe il will.

SAW THE COMET.
A Herald Man Gets Up at 4 O'Clock
to View Celestial Tramp.

A Herald man got up at 4 o'clock
Sunday morning to see the comet in
the eastern sky. over which much has
been written. He took observations
from his own gallery, and not seeing
the celestial tramp went out on a
scout for it. He decided Il was per-
haps so near the eastern horizon that
It was obscured by the houses and
trees. He walked as far as the
Michaux field. southeast of the city.
where he could see the eastern hori-
ION without interruption. and 10, and
behold, he saw the comet Il is a very
dim star in the east, just a few de-
grees removed from the timber line
across this vast field. and in the bril-
liant moonlight Of the morning a tail
could be discerned, so very dim that
IL was almost imaginative. The tail
a few feet from the comet to-
wards the southwest. This comet. es-
Decially in the moonlight, is not a
brilliant success. and unless you have
good eyesight you may fail to see IL.
No doubt il would show up to better
advantage with a darker night
