There has commenced another awak-
ening Of belated taxpayers to dis
charge their obligations with the treas
urer as the additional penalty goes on
after the 28th instant.
People who have fine chickens, fine
pigs, fine cattle or fine anything else
that they want other people to know
about, should advertise the fact in The
Enquirer. The Enquirer readers in
clude large numbers Of the most intel
ligent and progressive people of this
county who are always on the lookout
for everything that is good.
Under a recent ruling of the postof-
flee department, letters which are mail
ed without postage stamps will be de-
livered to the person to whom they are
addressed provided the addressee is
willing to pay double the regular post
age In other words letter that or
dinarily requires two cents postage af-
fixed at the point Of mailing will be
delivered at its destination upon pay
ment of cents by the addressee. I'm
til the order became effective, 1t was
the rule Of the department to hold all
mail without postage until the sender
could be notified. II has long been the
custom to forward all mail matter Of
the first class to it's destination If part
postage was paid at point Of mailing,
requiring the addressee to pay the re-
mainder due, but the delivery Of let
ters which have been mailed with no
stamp is an innovation. 1t Is not the
desire Of the postoGflce officials to en-
courage the adoption Of this plan by
the public, but it was introduced for
the benefit of business men and firms
who mail letters in quantities and Of
ten overlook the placing Of a stamp on
a few pieces. Knowing that sometimes
these letters deal with matters Of ut
most importance, the new regulation
regarding their delivery upon payment
Of double postage by recipient was or
dered. 1t is understood, however, that
If the postmaster at a mailing office
has reason to believe that the postage
is omitted deliberately, the letter is not
necessarily forwarded.

Since all that asylum row has grown
out of and hinges around the executive
session of the board Of regents on the
18th of December last, we have decid-
ed that about the only way we know
Of to give our readers a fair under
standing Of the whole thing is to print
the proceedings Of that executive ses-
sion It will be remembered that one
development of the legislative investi-
cation was to make these proceedings
public The News and Courier of last
Sunday and Monday printed these
proceedings in full, and the Columbia
Record has been printing them in
briefer installments. 1t is quite an un-
dertaking for a paper like The Enqui-
rer to handle such volume Of matter
on a single subject, and rather ex-
pensive; but in view of the confusion
that has arisen and the various con-
trary views that have been expressed
even by people who seek only the truth,
we are unable to see any other way
for it. To attempt to handle this re-
port in our regular edition would
crowd out the installment Of the story,
the Footsteps" and other matters Of
interest, so in order to avoid that, we
have put in other pages.

There are two articles in todays pa
per to which we desire to call the espe-
cial attention of every reader because
both of them are we'll worth while.
We refer to the article on South Caro-
lima politics." by ]. D. Moore, appear
ing on the first page and the article on
the new currency system on the fourth
page. Both articles are rather lengthy;
but they are not remarkable so much
for their length as they are for the cor
rect and comprehensive information
they give. We have seen scores and
scores Of articles intended to portray
and explain the peculiar political con-
ditions as they exist in this state; but
we do not remember to have ever seen
the subject handled with more breadth
of vision or accuracy Of expression than
is to be found in this article. To be
sure, If we were trying to cover the
same ground, there are some things we
would handle differently; but we real
iZe that after we had said what we
might have to say in accordance with
our own ideas there would be as many
points of difference with most readers
as are to be found in this article. In
what Mr. Moore says Of the, newspa-
pers we agree most fully. 1t is about
as correct sizing up Of the matter as
we have ever seen, and we agree also
that peace will come at last; but in the
case Of people like those Of South Car
orna we are not looking for permanent
peace except on basis Of right, and
that basis of right will not be reached
until the grasshoppers and butterflies
accord due Difference and consideration
to the bees and ants. The other ar
ticle on the subject of the new curren-
cy system makes the whole matter
plain to the everyday reader, and we
recommend a careful study Of 1t by all
who are interested in the ordinary bus
mess and professional pursuits.

Although we regret very much to
see the McLaurin warehouse bill fore
ed into politics, that will be the effect
of its passage by the house with the
senate amendment, providing that the
measure shall not become operative
until endorsed by a majority vote in
the next general election. We believe
in the warehouse idea. In our opinion
it promises more benefit to the cotton
producer than any legislation that has
ever been suggested. We believe also
in the rule of the people. AS we see it,
however, we would have preferred to

It is asserted on good authority in

since May 80 of the present year.

A heavy block of wood was hurled

His chest was crushed from being
struck by the flying missile, and his
hip was also severely injured when he
fell against the post.
His condition is considered critical
