- Columbia special Of March !, to
Charlotte Observer: 1t now seems
practically certain that as result OF
the legislatures heavy appropriations
the state will reach high-water mark
In the borrowing line. At the time
the appropriation bill, which with other
bills carrying appropriations totals
$1,000, 900. was passed, there was on
hand, after paying the notes of last
fall and summer amounting to $780,
900, $272,O00, with $969,242 more to
come on the levy of last year. Thls
with what will come in during Nov
ember and December on the new levy
of five mills will bring the tota! avail
able for the year up to less than $780,
600. including an estimated income
of $500, 900 from indirect and other
sources. In other words, to meet the
current expenses of the year it Will
be necessary to borrow over half a
million, possibly as much as 100000
or $500. 900. The debate in both legfs-
lative halls during the last few days
of the session showed that the men,
bers. sought to cure the evil of the
heavy appropriations by raising the
levy half q mill. The very simple fact
that no part of the taxes under the
new levy would be available till NO
vernber appears to have been entirely
lost sight of. Taxes are due beginning
in October, but the penalties do not
apply till the spring Of the following
year, with the result that a large por-
ton Of the taxes never reach the state
treasurers office till January and
February, the penalty in these months
being only one per cent for each
month. Executions do not issue till
the middle Of March. Before the ap-
preparation bill came from the ways
and means committee. the following
very plain statement from the comp
trOller general was on the desk Of
members: The estimated expenses
of the state government for 1908 are
$1,422.232.3 1t appears that if the
appropriations do not exceed the es-
timated expenses it will require of the
taxes of 1908 $6S1,S46. and as no
part of these taxes will be available
before November 1st. it is apparent
that the state must borrow 1915. 900
to pay expenses before the taxes of
1908 are available. The states rev.
enue for 1908 from taxes estimated
and based upon the present assess
ment of $267,438,030 at a rate of AZ
mills on the dollar, would realize ST.
270,33O. To this add from indirect
and other sources $1T3,700 and We
have total estimated revenue of ST.
444,030. If the estimated expendi-
lures. $1.422232. are not exceeded,
a state levy of AZ mills will pay all
expenses and leave a surplus of $21,-
1873" The comptroller generals es-
innate for the new year included such
extra appropriations as $4,000 for
rural high schools, $500 due on the
purchase Of the police barracks for
the Citadel, $4,000 for increase in
pensions, $4,000 for
state house grounds, $4,000 for
election expenses and other addition
al items amounting to 100000

CONSIDERING what seems to be the
duty of the general assembly under the
circumstances to bind its choice of
senator not to stand in the primary, we
do not think it can do better than to
select Major James l.. Coker Of Dar-
lington. AS has been very clearly
pointed out, Major Coker is not only
eminently worthy but eminently fitted,
and the selection of such man would
be a splendid object lesson for future
aspirants TO this high and honorable
position.

TIE general assembly will convene
in adjourned session this evening at
7.45 o'clock for the purpose of electing
a United States senator to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Latimer and also an insurance COM
missioner. AS to just how long it will
take to complete the business cannot
safely be predicted. The law requires
at least one ballot each day. More
than a dozen candidates are formally
in the race and there is Il probability
that there will be still others. 1t is
quite probable that the general assem-
bly, may elect one Of its own number as
it has perfect right To- do. and also
there is a possibility of a deadlock. 1t
is not thought that the election Of in
surance commissioner Will be a vary
difficult or prolonged task. notwith-
standing there are a large number OF
candidates for the position.

EASY SAILING.
By Frank L. Chance,


with Donovan out Of the way
the next two games will be easy
sailing for the Cubs. He pitched a
wonderful game for seven innings,
relying almost wholly on a fast
breaking curve which completely
baffled our best hitters. Overall
was a wonder in the pinches. and
after the two teams had gone along
through six innings. without a run
ner crossing the plate. I was bit
dubious as to the probable result.
It looked like another extra inning
tie like the first game Of the 1907
series, when Overall and Donovan
had their nip and tuck match.
Pfiester will. In all probability. pitch
for the Cubs today, and is confident
of his ability to repeat his former
victory over the American League
champions"
