Enmity Against Throne.

A large percentage of the common peo-
pie among the Chinese have always re-
scented the accession to the throne of a
Manchu prince as the result of the revo-
luton of 1854 when the Ming dynasty
was overthrown At that time the Man
chus, with the assistance of the Mongols
and the disaffected Chinese overthrow
the reigning Chinese dynasty and placed
a foreign prince on the imperial throne.
To that fact, probably more than to any
other, is due the unrest of the people,
which, from time to time during the last
276 years, has found vent in many minor
revolutions.
Tie Yangtse valley has been the head
quarters of several seditiouS societies.

($15,OOO) dollars more to be raised
in four years time. This will be a
very easy matter and will enable the
incoming administration to make a
still further reduction in the rate Of
taxes for the purpose of the sinking
fund. The rate of u cents even II
there should not be a natural raise
as to valuation of property for as
sessment proposes, would be ample
protection for this fund, enabling
the easy payment OF interest up to
that time. as well as providing for
the principal of $15O.0OO. 1t Will
be a pleasurable compliment for me
to pay you when / recall the neces-
sity at one time in the history of the
county. of fixing the rate OF the sink
ing fund at over Al cents on every
one hundred dollars worth OF proper
ty. as compared with the small rate
of 16 cents now levied for that pUr-
pose. / frankly confess to you that
il was never expected by me. nor by
any of us, that so much could be ac-
complished for this fund as has been
done.
This bonded Indebtedness has al
ways been the barrier that has met
every effort of progressive stride by
the county in the way of public i'm
provements, and has always been
the cloud that has lowered over us
as a county. The county is to be
congratulated that, at last. some
light is being seen. In 1913 we
know thai two hundred thousand
dollars of this indebtedness will be
absolutely wiped out, and my conf
dence in the incoming administra-
ton is such, that we can have the
assurance of the further reduction
of taxes for this fund. After that
time the interest will only be $l4,-
600 annually, and the average frac-
tionaI part of the principal TO be col
lected will be slight for the neces-
stiles OF the situation, knowing that
there will be a natural increase in
values of the property for the pur-
poses of taxation.
Improvement OF the Court House.
In a Retrospective sense. / desire to
call your attention TO conditions ex-
isting seven years ago as compared
TO those of now. There was no. a
floor in the court house that was
safe. There was not wall that had
either been painted or papered for
25 years With all of the inconven-
fences previously referred to, might
be added the fact OF the barn-like APP
pearance OF the two court rooms
and all the offices at that time.
There was no protection whatever
for the records of the county. in
either the county clerks office or
that of the circuit clerk. The rec
ords had been permitted to be stor-
ed away on wooden shelves in each
of the vaults often hidden by ac-
foundations of dust, and more often
being injured and destroyed by rats
and mice because of no covering OF
casing other than wood into which
