We find that our Hoard of Com missioners have refunded taxes to the amount of $211.04, for which the Tax Receiver draws the regular per cent, as commissions, which is not in accord with law. We find in offices books known as “Tax Receiver’s Receipt Book.” Now, we recommend that they be bound and filed in the proper office.

We find the books of the County Commissioners and Treasurer in nice and neat order, and correctly kept, so far as time would permit an examina tion. I We find the Surveyor has no book on hand in which to keep his records, but that he is using every effort to get one, and we recommend that the Commis sioners assist him in doing so.

Since the publication in The Herald of the story of the building of the new church in the town of Livinsgton, in Orangeburg county, South Carolina, the full limelight of publicity has been turned on it, and all the facts in connection with it have been made pub lic. The story as published in The Her ald is fully substantiated, but has led to a peculiar situation. The church building is now rejected by the church (organization) and the little town finds itself with a white elephant on its hands in the shape of a handsome and well appointed church building. A dispensary is being operated in the town, and the profits arising from it were so great that after paying for all the municipal improvements a consid erable sum remained. What to do with this money was a question that worried the town authorities not a little, until finally some one proposed that it be ap plied to building a church. A proposi tion was made to the members of a Willing to Serve. Macon (Mo.) Cor. Now York Sun. Walb*r C. Goodson, an attorney of this city, attended Circuit Court atOs- kaloosa, la., one day this week, and noticed some interesting features which differed from the Missouri pratice. “On the day of opening court the Judge lines up the petit jury and asks if there are any members who want to be excused,” says Mr. Goodson. “The day I was there every man with one accord begun to excuse himself. One said he had just purchased a farm, and that he hpd to start his hands fixing it up. Another said he was a candy salesman and that his house would fire him if he didn’t keep on the road. A great big woodsman said he was unable to read and write well and that he wasn’t certain he knew enough to be a juror. “Fully half of the men summoned had one reason or another why it would he absolutely out of the question for them to serve. Later the Judge inves tigated the excuses and found some of country church near the town to build this church and give it to them, which was accepted, after the pastor had con sulted with his presiding elder and ob tained that official’s sanction to the plan. The members of the church agreed to aid in the building, but as the work progressed so well and they were not pushed to put their hands down into their jeans, they gave no further aid than that which accrued from patron izing the dispensary, and the church was paid for wholly with dispensary money. It is completed now, the hand some pews having been put in during the past week, and it is ready to be opened for divine services. But now it appears that there will be trouble in getting these services started. v » The Southern Christian Advocate questioned the truth of the story as published in The Herald, and called upon the Methodist preachers to ex plain. This has been done in a letter from Rev. C. B. Simth, the presiding elder of that district, who states that “the reports as set forth in the news papers are largely true.” He inti mates that building a church with dis pensary money is no worse than build ing a school-house with such funds, but he adds that “no Methodist preacher shall ever preach in it while I am on the district,” unless the "higher church authorities will now give their consent. This they may not do. Then no Meth odist pastor will be allowed to preach in it, and of course the other denomina tions cannot alFord to take a leas ex alted position. And so this handsome, commodious ami comfortable church must remain closed, and the people be compelled to attend some less attractive or convenient church, or perhaps be unable to attend any church at all. Now, isn’t this u curious complica tion? Here is a nice church, which the church authorities will not accept be cause they claim that, figuratively, the devil built it. But what shall be done them good and others not so good. Where the excuse was flimsy he made the man stay on. “One of the lawyers up there told me this story. A lineup of jurymen appeared before a certain Judge just the same as on the day I was there, and every man explained that it would mean disaster to him to serve at that term of court- all hut a little fellow at the tail end of the line. This man was a hunter and he lived in a cabin on the creek all his life. “ ‘You have no excuse to offer?’ asked the surprised Judge. “ ‘No, sir.’ “ ‘Haven’t got a sick mother-in-law needing your attention?’ “ ‘No, sir; I ain’t married.’ “ ‘What about your crop?’ “ ‘Don’t raise anything.’ “ ‘No fence to fix up?’ “ ‘Haven’t got a fence on the place.’ “ ‘You think you can spare the time to serve on a jury two weeks?’ “ ‘Sure. ’ “The Judge sut awhile and medita ted. Reaching over he whispered to the clerk, who shook his head in per plexity. Then the Judge’s curiosity got the better of him. “ ‘You’re the only man who’s got the time to serve your country as a juryman,’ said he. ’Would you mind telling me how it happens?’ “ ‘Sure not,’ said the little man promptly. ‘I heard you was going to try Jake Billings this term. He shot a dog o’ mine onct.’ ” If You Are a Trifle Sensitive About the size of your shoes, it’s some satisfaction to know that many people can wear shoes a size smaller by sprinkling Allen’s Foot-Ease into them. Just the thing for patent leather shoes, anil for breaking in new shoes. Sold everyhere, 25c. She—“How could you tell papa that you were up every morning in time to see the sun rise, when you don’t get up til! nine?” He—“That’s all right. The sun rises until noon, doesn’t it?” with it? Having been built, it should and will be rut to some use. It might be converted into a school-house, but shall the children be taught in a house which the grown-ups fear to use be cause it was built out of dispensary profits? So eventually, because this would be logical, it may be converted into a dispensary. One of the finest and most attractive buildings in the town being a dispensary, while congregations worshiped in much inferior buildings, would aguin be a perplexing condition. So would it not be best for this house, now that it is built, to be accepted and used by the church, lest it be used for a less worthy purpose? HER PHYSICIAN ADVISED Taking Lydia E.
