Columbia, February 1S.-The an
nual supply bill-making provision
for the conduct Of the business Of tht
; various counties of the state for tht
current year, passed the house Of rep
resentatives Tuesday night, and l:
now in the senate for consideration
This Is the one measure to which the
members of the general assembly per-
haps devote more care and consider
alton than to any half dozen othel
matters on which they must legislate
This for two reasons: The conscien.
tious member is, first, anxious tina,
his county government be both ef.
ficient and economical, and he mus,
therefore weigh we'll the estimates OF
expense which have been submitted
through the board Of county commits
sioners and others who apparently
make intelligent recommendations af-
| fecting the countys revenues; Sec
ond, IL he has any political ambition
| for the future, he realizes, and Is gov
erned by the realization, that in this
connection his capability as legisla-
| tor Is going to be put to the test In nc
small degree So he does his best;
otherwise, If he asks further political
favors Of the public, the public does
him-which Is as 1t should be.
AS will be seen in the supply bill
passed by the house for York county
the levy for ordinary county purposes
is given as 81 mills; but since the bill
passed the house the county's delega-
ton have put their heads together
and done some more figuring, to the
end that this levy probably will be
reduced to six mills before the bill
| is enacted into law. The supply bill
| for York county Is as follows:
For ordinary county purposes six
and one-fourth (63) mills, and a levy
Of two CD mills for road purposes, as
provided for by law, and IN Ebenezer
| township a special levy Of one-half
| % of one mill, and in Catawba town
| mill, and in York township a special
levy of two and one-fourth (2G mills
| to pay the interest on bonds issued by
said townships in aid Of the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago railroad,
and on bonds refunding same; also in
said townships of Ebenezer, Catawba
and York a special levy Of one-half
| CD Of one mill as a sinking fund to
retire said bonds. The treasurer of
