NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Elizabethtown News makes this
good suggestion:
Before the Legislature makes a new
tax law and il is submitted to the peo-
pie, it would be good idea to have the
Court of Appeals pass on the validity o.
the election which was held without the
proper advertising by the Secretary of
State"
Judge j. W. Hughes will take charge
as Collector tomorrow and then watch
him turn the rascals out.
Mr.. McCombs managed the Democratic
Campaign at large very salts a cto-
rily, but having married, his efforts at
managing must cease. Where she leads
he must follow hereafter.
