The seating of Senator Smoot
or rather the failure to unseat
him, is a victory for constl,
tutioual rights, and a rebuke to
an ::holier than thou" element,
which is constantly trying to
force their narrowness upon the
American Iiberty-loving people.
The evidence showed Smoot to
be a mau of pure life, and we
doubt if some of the Senators
that voted to unseat him can
show such a clean bill of morals:
yet, they would stone Smoot to
appease a popular demand, and
hug to their virtuous (?) bosoms
men Of whose walk in life aud
example to the world is black
with suspicion.

There are many newspapers
and individuals at a loss to un-
derstand the silence of Senator
Tillman, since the enactment OF
the Carey-Coth1au Act which
abolished the State dispensary. 1t
was expected the Senator would
give very emphatic expression
Of his opinion, that would MAKE
his interviews warm reading, oul
in this respect he has been ols-
appointing. It may be the Sena.
tor has reached the conclusion
that. to offer opposition to the
new law before the same has
been put into operation would be
more of a display of peevishness
than wisdom, and then too, it
will be impossible, for at least
two years, to reverse the action
of the General Assembly. He is
taking the reputation Of his
pet institution with a remarka-
BILE good grace, and for thus sit
ting up and looking pleasant he
deserves commendation.

to be IN closer touch with those
liable to taxation, and thereby
through their knowledge Of the
taxable property in their respec-
tive townships secure all of the
taxable property.
Under the present system
there is much taN-dodglng, and
the assessments arc so unequal
that many honest taxpayers are
being burdened unjustlv. On &C.
count Of the unequalled assess
ment of property an Act was
passed at the recent session Of
the General Assembly, permit
ting a reassessment of property
in Pickens county, and the argu-
ment for this unusual proceed
ing was to the effect, that IN
certain sections of that county
property was assessed in accord
ance with the Comptroller Gen,
erals instructions at ITS 1o!l
value, while in other sections IL
was not so assessed. and thereby
over taxing those who had COM
piled with the law. If: however,
fhc township assessors had been
empowered to assess the prop
ertv, no such discrimination
could have occurred, and all of
the property would have been
more equally placed upon the
books.
To change the law in this
respect would entail some addi-
tional expense, but the additional
amount Of property placed upon
the books for taxation would be
far greater than the cost.

A young man seeking with
deepest earnestness Of soul to
get rid of his fearfully overcom-
ing thirst for liquor, went to a
beautiful spring in the woods,
and prostrating himself upon
the ground beside the cool, fresh
fountain, he implored the Lord
to take away this terrible appe-
tite and give him a love for the
water. It was all honest prayer
and God answered it. He arose
and drank refreshing draughts
until he had taken almost an i'm
moderate quantity. He left the
spring with a love for the nat
ural pure, God-made beverage OF
earth that he had never known
before, which remain with him.
He has never wished for liquor
since.

OUR TAX SYSTEM WRONG.

Our attention has been direct

doubt that the present system
has much to do with the inequal-

For the past week we have
had a taste of prohibition, and
it has demonstrated convincing
ly to our mind, that unless Con,
gress will enact a law to prohl-
bit the railroads from hauling
liquor into a State that enacts a
a prohibition law, the enforce.
ment of such a law could not be
attained even to a degree OF
responsibility. There is not an
express office in the State but
what has had an increase OF
liquor hauling since the 10th
day Of the present month, and
this business will increase as
long as the dispensaries are
closed. The new law to cegu-
late the liquor nuisance should
be given a fair trial, and if with
frst-class management it cannot
be conducted without scandal,
then it will be in order to adopt
some other plan.

We may not realize that the
fearful story which the Thaw
murder trial is now bringing to
light brings upon one glass of
wine. If the beautiful and
whose husband is on trial for his
life had been reached by total
abstinence teaching and had
never taken a first glass that
one fatal glass of poisoned cham
paign would never have passed
her lips.

Ii some Southern States many
of the cities are Prohibition,
especially in North Carolina and
Mississippi. 1t is not unreason-
able to believe that within the
next twenty years there will
hardly be any State in the South
which is not almost wholly un-
der Prohibition. Whether this
is the best way to handle the
liquor traffic is a debatable ques-
ton, but it is quite evident that
the people believe that it is the
best way.

FINDS FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Man Who Discovered Old Tunnel viii

William r. Hinsdale of Orange,
y. j., who has discovered the Local
ZION of the ''old Spanish tunnel in
the Shawangunk mountains, IS TO
lay out a park there, according TO
the New York World.
Tradition said that from the tun-

Prof. Mathel, state geologist OF
Ohio, who Investigated, accepted
the theory that the work was done
by Spaniards who formed a part OF
the Ponce de Leon expedition. After
failing to find the fountain of youth
in Florida, and following their lead-
er's dying injunction to continue
the search. they are thought TO have
made the journey northward.
When they came TO a stream lar
ger than a mans arm rushing out Of
solid rock. with no visible source of
supply, they halted and began TO
tunnel TO locate the pool whence it
came. This was in the sixteenth
century. The tunnel was known till
recently only by Indian legend.
IIinsdale. finding stream that
never varied in its flow or ten 1cra-
,ure. employed a force of men. and
uncovered an accumulation OF de-
iris. Then he located the mouth Of
he tunnel itself. 1t is perfectly
formed and the stream gushes from
assure at the extreme end.
The tunnel is 500 feet lon-. six
feet high. four feet wide and
straight as an arrow, with only
rise of seven feet in lis entire length.
