Read the advertisement OF the great
Congo Salvage Company of Michigan,
that will sell out the Krasnoff stock OF
all manner and kinds of dry goods,
clothing and shoes at startling low
prices. Mr.. Perry Krasnoff, who is in
charge Of the Krasnotf stock, intimated
to US sometime ago that his buyer in
New York has been shipping to him
some wonderful bargains, and that he
was going to give the readers of The
TINES an opportunity to realize what
a genuine bargain sale is. He claims
that if be can get the people interested
he can save them big money, and de-
monstrate how 6rst-class goods may be
bought cheap when cash is used prop
erly in the big Northern markets to
buy goods. Mr.. Krasnoff proposes 70
create business even at this season OF
the year. He says he just cannot stand
the idea of seeing merchants standing
in their doors watching for trade, that
it is his intention TO have the people
looking for a place to get big values
for a little money. he also proposes
to give money away.
There was neatly dressed, and ap-
parently woman of refinement in
Manning last week soliciting aid; she
claimed to be Mrs. Bishop and came
here in search for her brother, whose
name was McLane, and not finding him,
found herself stranded. The woman
went from house to house. and we sup
pose she collected enough to take her
to some other town; her destination
was Alabama. Anyway she left. Last
Sunday night two men came to Man
ming and made inquiries for the woman
but she had gone. One Of the men IN
curing. gave his name as Bishop, but
| he did not say the woman was his wife
There is some mystery surrounding the
affair. OF course we DO not intend K
intimate there is anything wrong witt
these parties, the woman or the men
but in the light OF recent events, It |:
well to be cautious. There is gans
OF safe crackers in the State, and 1t |:
not uncommon for them to have a WON
an as an advance guard to get the la,
of the land. The local reporter OF the
Columbia State has given warning tt
the public because of the number o
suspicious characters recently seer
in and near Columbia, and now that VIC
too have had visit from an unusua
source, the authorities cannot be tot
careful in finding out the business o
strangers when they come here, a
least they can keep close eye upol
them.

We take great pleasure in our first
letter to you at the beginning of the
new year 1907 in giving a short his
tory of the prosperous condition of the
Negro of this city for the past year
The future success of the Negro of
this country depends greatly upon his
intellectual, moral and property at
tainments. Albuquerque is blessed
with a class of colored people who
are possessed with enough of these
progressive qualities to merit the
high esteem of his white neighbor,
such as we receive in this bright sun
ny New Mexico. We also receive
equality in treatment before the
courts OF justice and much better
chance at labor than can be received
in many of the older states in the
Union.
There Is no better way of testing
the intellectual soundness of our peo-
pie in this city than by summing up
the large list of names of people who
have made themselves prominent by
building nice homes OF their own.
There is no better way of clinching
the bargain which gave us citizenship
than by becoming property holders.
From the small population of our peo-
pie In this city it is wonderful to note
the large number Of enterprising col.
ored citizens who are lining them.
selves up in such permanent busi-
ness-like manner, which. without
question is the surest way OF max.
ing their influence felt in all commun.

the names Of those who are on the
high roll Of honor and owning their
homes. They are: II. Bramlett, T..

sessments will be futile so long as the
legislature does not reduce the levy
as valuations increase.
With $250,000,000 of taxable prop
erty the levy is as high as it was when
there was only $l75,000,0O0. The
people will argue that it is impossible
to trust the legislature, that the more
property we have to tax, the more ex-
travagant will be the appropriations.
If we could only get to the point
where the levy would be reduced and
the appropriations made to come
within the levy as assessments in
crease, the people would be more in
clined to assess their property at its
actual value, and instead Of the $780,
100000 of property, we might have
$500, 100000 on the tax books.
Any proposition in the recent leg
islature to reduce appropriations was
met by a statement that the people
were prosperous and that more mon
ey was need to meet the demands of
the state. This is true in sense, and
it seems to me that there are some
places where increases might have
been made properly; for instance, the
cost Of living is much more than it
was few years ago, and it would be
but justice to increase the salaries of
our state officers, for no man, who has
not some other income, and who has
any business which he must give up,
can we'll afford to take state
Office at $1900.00 per year.

Everybody Works But Father"
Howard Webster's latest musical
comedy, bids fair to become as popu-
lar as the song that inspired it. The
play is enjoying the same success on
the road as it did during the months
of its excellent opening. The music
is catchy and popular, the numbers
are beautiful and enhancing, the hui
nor is infectious and the whole idea
and purpose of the comedy bril-
liant effort in play construction. MIR.
Harrison Greene, rs comedian,
needs no introduction to thcatre-go-
ers, and his acting of The German
father in this particular play has
been favorably compared with the
work of Louis Mann and by some
critics, as even frmnicr interpreted
tion. There is laugh in every line,
and throughout the entire play, the
gorgeousncss of the stage pictures
and beauty and grace OF the many
pretty girls, coupled with the melody
and catchy songs and effectiveness or
it's many musical numbers and clcc-
trica dances hold one spellbound
with the possibilities of the comedy
and beauty Of its conception.
Everybody Works But Father'
will be given in the opera house on

Gus, Georgia.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, February 2G.-Ncws was
received here today Of the death Of
Mr.. Thomas p. Hoyt at his home III
Amcricus, Ga. The news was not a
surprise, as his relatives here had
been apprised of the fact that Mr..
Hoyt suffered stroke of paralysis
several weeks ago and that there was
little hope of his recovery. He died
at 10 0 o'clock last night.
Mr.. Hoyt was the second son of the
late Col. ]. p. Hoyt, who lived for
number of years at ljaurenS, 5. G.,
where Mr.. Thomas p. Hoyt spent his
boyhood. He was a brother of the
late Col. James a. Hoyt, of Green
vile, and, like his brother, learned
the printers trade in his youth and
spent most Of his life in the newspa-
per business. For the last several
years he had lived at Amcricus, where
he was on the editorial staff Of the
Rarordcr. Previous TO that
time he lived at Fort Valley and at
Augusta.
Mr.. Hoyt was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Matte Ready,
daughter Of DR.. Ready, OF Johnston,
i;dgcticld county, and three sons OF
this marriage survive: Messrs. Thom-
as p. IIoyt, Jr, John p. Hoyt and
w. r. Hoyt, all Of whom live at john
ston. His first wife died a number OF
years ago and he subsequently mar
ricd Miss Fannie Roebuck, Of near
Augusta, Ga. who survives him.
AS boy Mr.. Hoyt volunteered for
service in the Confederate army and
went out with the militia near the
close Of hostilitics. Hc was about 6;'
years Of age at the time of his death.

STATE FINANCES
NOT ON VELVET
; COMPTROLLER GENERAL JONES
MAKES CALCULATIONS.
Appropriations Too Large-The In
come Is Exceeded by Probable
Expenses by Over Two Hun
dred Thousand.
The State.

The State.
Comptroller General Jones declared
yesterday that as. near as he can fig
ure it the appropriations this year
will exceed the income $3.50, ,444! Had
the levy been fixed at S mills the ap-
preparations would have been $4,000
in excess of income, and levy of
5 IA mills would have left the state
but $7,046 over all expenses.
Mr.. Jones fixtures that the appro-
priations aggregate 81, ,454, ,229.79 and
his figures are verified by calculations
made in the state treasurer's office.
Yin eight years the appropriations
(have increased half million dollars
i'm round numbers. The income has
Increased but not so largely.
: The taxable property Of the state
tis $249, 100000, which at 4 1-2 mills
will produce a revenue Of 81, ,122, $50;
at 5 mills it would have been 81, ,247,-
900; at IA mills it would have been
%,309,S75. This is the ad valorem
tax. The indirect taxes amount to
1851 400, estimated. The total in
come this year is $1,274,150 at 1-2
mill levy, while the expenses last
year we're $4,000 in excess of that
amount and to last years expenses
have been added $4,000.
Last year the Hampton monument
was paid for, the jamestown exposi-
ton appropriation was made and the
general election expenses were met.
None of these things are provided for
in the appropriation act this year.
The increase has been general, all
along the line. Mr.. jones' only fear
is that he may be held responsible
because he did not give sufficient sug-
gestion and advice to the general as
sembly. This he endeavored to do.

In part explanatory Of the above
Representative Aull of Newberry
writes the following statement:
u notice in = the News and
Courier and the State of some days
ago a statement in regard to the ap-
preparations by the legislature for
this year and the insufficiency Of the
levy in which, it is said that the ap-
preparations exceed the income $780,
444.00. It is further stated that
Comptroller General Jones only fear
is that he may be held responsible,
because he did not give sufficient sug-
gestions and advice to the general as
sembly.
AS a member of the general assem-
bly, and also of the ways and means
) committee, desire to say that I am
satisfied there was 10 lack Of suf-
fcient information and suggestions
! from Comptroller General Jones, and
that the members of the general as
{ scmbly were in possession Of suf-
=! fcient information in regard to the
appropriations for them to have act
ed intelligently.

appropriation bill as it left the house,
and also the probable income from
the levy fixed by the house, on the
1Aloor of the house once or twice when
Scertain bills we're being considered

81 I went to the trouble to make a
%total Of the appropriation bill as it
iaessed the house, and from the infor-
sS,ndtion given by Mr.. Jones had the
Ssbroblble income when the levy was

GIBSON CONVICTED
Aged Defendant Was Pitiable Sight
on Witness Stand-Will Take
Appeal.
Greenyille News.


!, Columbia,S. c., Feb. 27.-The con-
vietion of ThoS. j. Gibson, OH the
Charge of knowingly receiving thd
stolen bonds taken from the treas
urer's Office by Daniel Zimmerman is
one Of the saddest cases in the re-
cent criminal history of the state.
Half dozen Of the best men in the
community swore to his good reputa-
ticn yet the jury of twelve good men,
feeling it their duty, promptly con-
victe3 him and no doubt on account
Of his extreme i'll health and age re-
commended him to the mercy of tho
court.
Tom Gibson is now beyond the age
of "a. He is bent with age and pal
sled. His mind is clear and active,
perhaps it was too active today, and
his frivolity on the stand may have
operated against him. Solicitors Dav-
is and Thurmond who handled the
case of the state did so with judg-
ment and force. In the first place
they narrowed the charge down to
two specific bonds Of which they had
the complete history and with these
two bonds handled in one sale, they
avoided any confusion.
The evidence against Mr.. Gibson
was in the main that of Daniel Zim-
norman who alleged that Gibson sue-
gested the plan to him but today two
little things developed in his tcsti-
mony that operated against him. One
was that he went out and bought for
Zimmerman coupons. These coupons
were presumably to be used by Zim-
norman to cover up the amount Of
coupons that would have come in at
The appointed interest period. And
the second incident that hurt his
cause was that a Charleston client
discovered mistake of $120 and sent
the money to Mr. Gibson to be re-
funded the state and instead of re-
funding the $120 he used it and stat
ed that he did so because he was in
need Of the money and intended to
repay it and has done so in part to
Capt. jennings. The statute is not
clear as to the punishment, except
that it makes it misdcmeanor and
leaves the sentence to the discretion
of the judge. Mr.. Crawford who
had made a superb fight for his client
gave notice of an appeal and will no

The people Of the community are

trial with the kcenest interest and

larly the promptness with which the
jury rendered its judgment.
