PROGRESS OF ENROLMENT

AS is usual at this season of the
year, the farmers are too much engag-
ed with their crops to give great deal
of thought to political matters, and up
To the present time no considerable
amount Of interest has been awakened
in the matter of enrolment.
The incident of last Monday, when it
developed that about 175 people who
had signed the roll at Glover with
their initials, would have to sign their
full names or lose their votes, created
more than passing interest among
these particular people for a limited
time: but so far as has been reported
there is very little concern about the
matter.
AS has been explained, people are
not apt to give much concern to cleo
tion matters until the campaigners
have had Il chance to stir things up,
and ii is pretty safe TO predict that
unless something develops to arouse
interest in the meantime. the last
Tuesday in July is going TO roll by
with fewer names on the club rolls

than there are on the registration

than there are on the registration
books.
1t is up to every citizen who desires
to vote in the approaching Democratic
primary to go and enroll at once. The
right thing is to do it now. 1t is prob
ably a fact that all the voters Of the
county could be enrolled in a day,
but the enrolment should not be post
poned, for people who put off until to-
morrow that which should be done
now, run a very grave risk Of not do
ing it at all.
The best way to get the people en-
rolled is for every citizen who is in
terested in a full vote with no after
ward about it. to enroll himself at
once and then keep driving on every
friend and acquaintance to do like
wise.
Full official instructions as to en-
rollment were published in The En-
quirer of last Tuesday, and there are
enough copies Of that paper scattered
over the county to give every white
man interested, access to those in
structions if he will only take the
trouble to look after the matter

We can see how, if senator or rep
resentative thinks that exemption re-
peal is wrong, he should not vote for
exemption repeal. He has a right to
stand on his manhood and vote aginst
repeal because he thinks it right to do
so, or if he has no positive convictions
on the subject he has a right to follow
the platform and base his justification
on that. But how any man could take
that recent convention in Columbia as
authority we do not and cannot see.
Ten years ago Senator Tillman would
have laughed at the idea of such a
thing. He would have told the conven-
lion that it had absolutely no authority
to even suggest a platform that was
expected to bind anybody and he would
have been right. South Carolinians are
supposed to be free from the control OF
conventions, and it has been the boast
of Tillman's career that he was largely
instrumental in establishing this free
dom.

ton of support the court ruled out
and held the parties down to the one
question whether the senator and
Mrs. Tillman should be allowed to
have the children during July and Au-
gust. Mrs. Dugas' attorney would
/ not even admit the jurisdiction OF the

this as an objection. Mrs. Dugas,

the possession of this worlds goods
required to pay taxes in just
proportion to those paid by the
poorer people, and in proportion to
others in their own class who do not
try to dodge their just obligations. The
proposed reform, however is an eX-
ceedingly difficult one. For instance,
there are people who bend under a
burden of five or ten dollars taxes;
but become reconciled when told of
some other fellow who pays five hun
dred dollars. They are unable to re-
alize that if the five hundred dollar
man paid in the same proportion to
themselves, he would be coming down
with from one thousand to fifteen
hundred. But with it all the public
need not look for any extensive reform
along this line right away. The tax
dodgers are too numerous and strong
ly intrenched, and the average legisla-
tive candidate is too much concerned
first, about getting there, and second,
about his own comfort after he has
been elected.

Both Tillman and MCLaurin went to
the senate originally under pledge not
to be controlled by party caucuses.
The theory of the Farmers Alliance
was, and it was correct, that both great
parties, and through the parties the
country were manipulated by a few
professional wire pullers, and the idea
of the Alliance was to break up this
system. OF course as things stand. it
is unreasonable to expect party har-
mony in certain things except by
means of the caucus; but nevertheless
when a man Of real ability and force of
character, sees that he is being manip-
ulated in caucus for selfish individual
purposes, rather than in the interest of
the people he will kick and kick hard,
even though he knows the result will
be his political destruction.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

The town council met in the council
chamber last night for the purpose OF
considering the request Of the board
of health for the appointment Of a To-
cal health officer, the proposition be-
ing that this official receive a salary OF
$40 q month.
All of the members of the council
were present except Alderman Hart
and after discussion it was decided
not To elect the off 'er referred to.
The question of whether or not the
board snould continue to receive as
compensation, the privilege of free
light and water, or 50 a month, like
the members of council, was consid
cred.
w. w. Lewis, Esq, attorney, on be-
ing asked about the matter. stated
that under the law the board of health
is prohibited from receiving any COM
pensatiun whatever.
The law reads: 1t shall be the duty
Of the mayor to appoint by
and with the consent Of the council
council one or more of whom
shall he n reputable physician of not
less than two years standing, board
Va health and shall designate
them to serve |, =. 3, and years re-
spectively. The members shall serve
without compensation, and in case any
of them after accepting and duly quail
flying. shall refuse to serve they shall
be subjected to a fine Of twenty five
dollars. to be imposed and collected by
the town council.
The present board Of health really
has no legal status in that it consists
of more than five members. and fur
ther in that these members were not
appointed with the advice and consent
of the council which has as much
Say-sO as the mayor.

Reports from the wheat harvest are
to the effect that while the acreage
was small, the yield has generally
been good.
Legislative climber" appears to be
scarce. The Enquirer has heard of
several probable candidates; but has
not been advised certainly as to any
of them.
BY the way, this law that members
of the board Of health shall serve
without compensation, is no new
thing 1t has been the law since local
boards of health were first created in
this state.
The farmers who sell cotton in York
vile should have the privilege Of elect

that privilege under the law until two
years ago; but it has been taken away

According to present plans the prob
ability is that when the Yorkville and
Rock Hill road is relocated, it will
not cross the railroad until it reaches
Ebenezer. 1t is proposed to do away
with the crossing at the j. G. Wallace
old home place. TirZah station, TirZah
church and Newport. 1t is thought
also that the location of the road can
be very much improved at the Simp
Robinson old place, east of Fishing
creek, by going a few yards further
south.

that which his judgment and consci-

If Mr.. Manning persists in his doc
trine that the wealth of the state
should pay the taxes, there are lots of
people we know of who would not vote
for him under any consideration. Talk
about factional lines-BOurbonism,
agrariansm, socialism and all that,
there are those who hate taxes
worse than anything else. To suggest
that they should contribute to the
support of the government in proper
ton to the value of their accumula-
tions is like setting water before a
mad dog. 1t is not to be understood
that all men Of wealth are opposed to
bearing their just share of the bur-
dens Of government-not bit of it.
There are many big. broad minded
men of wealth who recognize their OBJ
ligatiOn to their fellows, and who are
perfectly willing to bear their full
share. There are thousands of them,
and they are really the people who
hold things together. But as has been
stated, there are others of the skim
flint, highwaymen kind who look upon
all manner of taxation as eXtortion.
and who seem to think that they
should have first claim on the full pro-
lection of the government. while they
are engaged in drawing the substance
from the productive energy of other
people; but they themselves should
t,ll 20 la ~
with Mr.. Manning's theory that any
body should be exempt from taxation,
no matter how poor they may be. We
are inclined To think that the right to
pay taxes is a privilege calculated to
foster good citizenship, and to exempt
man from taxes would be to deprive
him of a right. However, we do be-
lieVe that We should live up to the de-
claration of our constitution on this
subject. and make all taxation as just
and equitable as possible. We think
the people Of large profitable sources
, of income and large accumulations
should pay in proportion to the poorer
and more humble citizen, and we think
llldt llllS llldlleI VI ldA lS
the most important problem that
South Carolina has to deal with. AL
though it is fact that right now the
property of South Carolina is not as
sessed at more than One-fOurth of its
actual value, if every citizen of the
state were required to return his prop
erty and pay taxes thereon at valu-
alton in equitable proportion to the
people who are not actually worth
more than two thousand dollars. the
present revenues of the state would he
more than quadrupled. There would
be funds sufficient To furnish a first
class school teacher for every twenty
|.children, make good roads all over the
state within the next ten years; en-
force all laws better than they are now
enforced and increase the efficiency of
all penal ana charitable institutions
more than a hundred per cent. We
do not want To increase the taxes of
the poor man a single dollar: but we
would certainly like To see all peu-
pie who are better cirCumStanced in
