To Examine the Bonds Again,
In the mandamus - proceedings
before Judge Coble, Monday, an
order was issued that the County
Commissioners re-examine the
bonds of W.H. Harrington, for
Sheriff, and J- A. Thigpen, for
Treasurer, which the Board re-
jected the firss Monday in Decem-
ber. The ~Commissioners were
-|perfectly willing to do this -and
pied attorney assented to the or-
er.
Between Two Fires.
In the complaint in the manda-
mus proceedings against the
Board of County Commissioners,
one of the reasons assigned by
the plaintiffs for wanting a re-ex-
amination given ~the bonds was
that some of the obligators had
property that did not appear on
the tax-list. If this is so it looks
like somebody is going to be plac-)
ed in a bad light, and the Com-
mission ars may find cause to bring
action against some parties for
failure to list property for taxa-
tion.

day. and the patronage they are
ready to give will determine this.
If the present patronage is con-
tinued the daily can go on its
present sizs "if increased it can
be made larger. Thcugh the pa-
per is small, those unfamiliar
with such work have no idea what
is required to get it out. For in
stance, this writer has had to put
in from fifteen to sixteen hours a
day, and these hours have been
no play but constant hard work.
Of course such work is a heavy
strain both mental and pliysical,
but we are willing to do allin our
power for the advancement of
Greenville if the people of the
community stand by us. As we
said in a former issue "Greenville

'jpresent it looks like a-good time
to discuss the question of consoli-
.\dating the offices of ~Treasurer
and Sheriff, letting the incum- "
ibent of the latter perform th
iduties. of the tormer.
At the
Democratic convention in Septem-
ber this was suggested, but being
deemed not the proper body to
decide the mutter it was dropped.
We would like to hear this T sab-:
ject discussed fully, andthe Re
FEECTOR columas are open to any
one who would like to express!
himself on it. Some counties in
the State have tried the two off®
ces consolidated and find the ex-
periment very satisfactory. Beau-
fort county is highly pleased with
such a. system. It makes. the
Sheriff's office more remunerative
and renders the giving of the
beads less troublesome.

It is saia that the programme
is to run Senator Ransom for
Governor next election. The
News hears that things are being
shaped to that end, and it wants
to say right now that-the Demo-
cratic party was big enough fool
in the last election, and ought to
learn some sense from what
happened then, -Let Ts let the
timber that has gone to the
tom lie there, and look out for
new material. " Charlotte News.
That is good logic. Let the
Governor's chair next time be
well. Go to bothering with the
old timber and there may have to
be toomuch explaming of why
this or that was done in years
gone by. Plenty of men not yet
reached the meridian of life who
will make good Governors and
against whom a finger could not
be raised.

Young Gladstone Played Pranks.
Mr. Gladstone was once a country
house guest with Henry Chaplin.
Mr. Gladstone one evening asked
him whether his grandmother had
not lived in a certain street in May-
fair. Mr. Chaplin: assented.
**Ah, � said Mr. Gladstone, ~ ~I re-
member it very well. I lived next
door to her for awhile when I was a
child. She used to give evening
parties. When the carriages were
assembled to take up my broether|
and I used to creep out of bed "it

each other whether it- was not be-
ginning to rain.
