At this time they are unnecessary taxes and they ought to be repealed. This is the feeling of the people. The tariff bill introduced by Mr. Mills appears to be intended to add to the surplus instead of reducing it. The duty on sugar amounts to a revenue duty, but this is re¬ duced, and the revenue from that source will be increased. How does this help the surplus? So with other reduc¬ tions. With few exceptions, these reductions will add to the customs revenue and thus increase the sur¬ plus. Was this what the ways and means committee intended to do? We had supposed that their in- Mentions were to reduce the surplus, but how can an increase of revenue reduce the surplus? The fact of the busines is, that the ways and means committee are running a schedule that is not by any means democratic. It would be democratic to repeal the inter¬ nal revenue system and make up whatever deficit that might occur by a reduction of the tariff. Such course Would not only be democrat¬ ic, but it would admirably fit the purposes of the democratic party in the campaign that it is about to make.—Atlanta Cdnstitu- tion, Correspondence, Talking Rock Mills. Our people are on a boom this week in farming. A big cotton crop is the boom. Hog cholera is doing much dam¬ age to the hogs in this section. B. B. Bradley and John N.

C, March 3, ’88— Editor Herald; I see that you have made inqui¬ ry as to who is going to run against A. V. P. Jones for representative of Pickens county. I can inform you that he will have an opponent if I have to make the race myself. And the present road working sys¬ tem of Pickens county will be made one of the issues. As the system now is one class works the roads and another class uses themr—the poor man’s work and the rich man's road, and the good people of Fickehs county will want to know if friend Jones is in favor of public roads being worked by tax¬ ation or not. The present system of working the public roads of Pickens county is an outrage upon the poor laboring man, and it is a question that ought to be agitated. 1 believe the majority of the vot¬ ers of Pickens county are in favor of working the roads by taxation, and I believe nil such issues ought to he discussed publicly by all the candidates so that the people may know how they stand.
