GETTING READY FOR STAMPS.

Washington, March 24-Unus ual
activity at the bureau of engraving
and printing in the installation of
machines for the printing Of stamps
and the working overtime of the en-.
ter stamp printing force, given color
to tho belief that the new tariff bill
will contain clauses re -enacting the
stamp taxes that were levied during
the Spanish American war period
The bureau has been busyiug
printing millions of stamps and it
is believed that the bureau officials
anticipate or have been advised by
the treasury department that the
task will fall on the bureau to pro-
duce adhesive stamps for use on pro.
prietary medicines, perfurmey, chew
ing gum, checks, notes and other com
meroial paper, light wines. etc.
Mechanics have been installing stamp
printing machines and force, has
been kept busy for the entire "a hours
for several days.
Because of the limited space and
facilities Of the brueau, it will be
necessary to start work almost imme-
diately to make preparations to fur
nish stamps If congress decrees that
stamp taxes shall again be collected.
Hhe ordinary work of this branch of
the treasury department necessitates
two shifts day to print the paper

WHO DID IT?

Who has done the most for tire up
lifting of Florence in the past few
years, and who are the ones who first
started the movement to bring the
city ont of what appeared to be state
of almost hopeless Indebtedness? The
answer is plain; 1t was the Demo-
Gratis, of course.
But the opposition may say that
this is the first time that the Demo-
crats have run their first straight
party for Office in local municipal
affairs. That IL true, but 1t is not
the first time that tile Democrats
have made up the majority of the
city council, and they we're the ma
ority in the last two administrati ons
prior to the outgoing one.
There was the Il. r. Moore admin

Waller Fletcher council. You will

debt, and when they tackled the
job, it was so large that they knew
not at which point to start.
But they started aud succeeded. and
the records of the city hnll Will
prove this to Gnyone's satisfaction.
When the Moore crowd took hold of
the reins of Office. this city had
an indebtedness Of over s270, 600 an
at the close of this administration
and the one following it. the debt
had been cut s97. 900. This was done

Immediately after the organiza-

This has been held to mean that
the legislature must determine the

y any other business can be transact
ed, and it was upon this theory
that the leaders proceeded when it
was determined that no legislation
or other business should be under
taken pending decision of the
Painter 0melich contest. It was
held by the democratic leaders
however, that the election of
senator on January 10 and 20 was
mandatory under the federal law.
which prescribes that on the second
Tuesday after the converting Of the
legislature the balloting for a
United States senator shall take
place in each house, and that. the
Joint assembly shall meet the fol- ,
