The four years administration Of
Governor MacCerk 10 which was the
last Dem ecratic administration, cost
she state $2,766, 134.05. The last two
years of his administration was under
the Republican legislative rule, that
party having carried both the senate
and house in the election Of 1894, so
that Governor MacCorkle never sent
a message to Legislature that was
not Republican. The two legislatures
that met while he WAS governor were
those of 1896 and 1897, and both
branches were overwhelmingly Re-
publican. His term, therefore was
under the direction Of Democratic
legislature only from the 4th of March
1898, till the meeting Of the legislature
n 1896.
The four years Of Gov, Atkinson's
sdmini stration cost the state 1914
62S.34. The four years of Governor
Whites administration cost the State
q, 1907 ,50l.12. The four years Of Cover
nor Da son $ ad Illustration counting
appropriations, now tallies up s6,037,-

Tho above figures are presented to
the tax payers as facts which cannot
be CARRIED and which should not be
overlooked. No wonder Governor
White, in Initiating the tgreat tax re-
form laws, based his argument for
them principally upon the need for
more revenue.

Mr.. Hiner was until this week IN

amazing.
