The costliest book in the world
is the official history of the War of
Secession, which :s now being is
sued by the government of the
United States. It will consist of
one hundred and twelve volumes
and an atlas, the coat of each vol
ume being over $28,000, the cost of
the whole work being $3,000,000.
The material used in the prepara
tion of this history.is taken from
both Federal and Confederate
archives. The government sells
the volumes at a price much be.
low the. cost upon application to
the Secretory of War, and they are
given to public libraries.
Dun's Weekly Cotton review of
the cotton market for the weeks
ending, last Saturday has the
following :
There was some ttrength at the
9":ait on heavy transactions in
print cloths at Fall River mill*,
and the British Board of Trade
reported ar. increase of ten million
yards in the exports of cotton
cloth during January over the
same month last year. But Mr.
Ellison issued as estimate of the
American crop as 8,659.000 bales,
which caused some weakness, and
the selling movement had only
to be started to find liquidation
easy. Port receipts were also larger,
aud accompanied by lighter ex
ports, which together with selling
for foreign speculative account
discouraged the traders who were
attempting to bolster up the
market.' The weakness is rather
remarkable in the face of sales of
print cloths which aggregate about
1,200,000 piece for the week, the
largest on record. . -

It was learned yesterday Satur
day from a reliable source that
the administration would try to
make up the deficiency in the
funds for running the govern
ment by the enactment of an in
come tax bill, a license bill and
an insurance bill fixing a gradu
ated license on the gross premiums
earned by companies. By these
no profession, trade or industry
will be spared. All will have to
bear their part of the burden.
These measures have been
mentioned before as a means of
making up the deficiency, and
they have evidently found favor
in the sight of a good many. The
three meaures'oppoced many be
briefly outlined thus :
MILLS AND BANKS INCLUDED.
The license bill, as explained,
is a graduated ono, imposing a
small license upon all professions,
trades and industries. The cot
ton mills by thin bill are taxed 50
cents upon every $1,000 of capital.
Bagging; factories and similar
industries including banks are
taxed in the same way. A lawyer
or any other professional mau,
whose profession nets him $2,500,
say would have to pay about $6 ;
the clerk who gets a salary of
$1,290 would pay $3. This
estimate for professional and busi
ness men applies to only those
whoso iucomes or salaries is $1,000
or more on which one-fourth of
one per cent, will be levied.
This bill alone is expected to
ra.se about $70,000 or $30,000 per
annum.
THE INCOME TAX.
The graduated income bill
begins with an income of $2,500
and imposes a tax of 1 per cent.;
on $10,000, 212 per cent.; on
$15.000and upwards, 3 percent.
This is intended lo re.ich the man
who has an income but no visible
property. Property holders whose
incomes reach any of the
above figures will come within
the providion of tho act also. It
is hoped that from this source
$50.000 or $60,000 will be derived.
Senator Gaines has introduced
the following bill in tho Senate,
which if passed gives Edgefield
seven judicial districts, each pre
sided over by a magistrate :
There shall be in Edgefield
County aeven judicial districts,
as follows, to-wit : The first shall

is a true ana correct

nce with the Teachers' Monthly
ieports as are found in this office,
find many pay warrants drawn
y teachers and no reports at
iched. Each warrant must be
ccompanied by a full and com
[ete report for each month. I also
rge that the trustees make a com
Tete annual report to this office
1 or before the first day of August
; each year, according to Section
2 of the School Lrw, for without
'cb reports , it is impossible for
e to make a true and correct ap
jftionment. I again urge that
ich and every trustee appointed
r-the county board of education
?me to this office in person, as I
?sh his signature, and at the
me. time get the apportionments
jr the several districts.
T find that several of the school
stricts during the^scal year just
tssed have overdrawn their ap
>rtionment, while ochers have un
?tended balances.
STo teachers pay warrant will be
iproved unless signed personally
rat least a nuijoiity of the trus

impanied by a teachers1 monthly
