Prompt r"iwf anid quick cure for liver and stoanmeh trou ble. 25o at Pickena ]iug Co.; guarain teed. A GOOD SHOWING. Last week we pu)blisbil a stav ment made by the county commishii showing the iniancial comdition of thi coUty, sho.ving that, even saddlitig a debt made by the former board, they have run the coulily at a saving. of $10,000 less tMan the former ad ministration. This speaks well for the board and shows they are possos (id with mueh business acun.n and financial sagacity*. Just a few rnoro years of such management and ohu Pickens county would be out of debt and movng on a cash basis. The tax levy would be lowered, and good times would prevail. In this connec tian we do iot t:ink it wouild be amiss, and we believe he entire county would concur with us, in sany ing that the law relativo to paying our county comtissioners is wrong and should be righted. They draw pay for 100 days aud live to put in o;er time for nothing. Jol P. Smith has covered 150 days and then had to leave part of hiis work undono They should be given $300 per year, half what the supervisor gets, or be allowed so much por day with the time not limited. 'ickes county is coming to the forefront and her pub lie officers should be paid a living, reasonable, salary. Her oflicials are the porest paid of any in the state The salary of the clerk of the board should be raised fifty dollars, for it takes a good book-keeper to keep up with the work of the ollico, besides that he should be paid a suflicient salary so ho could keep the office open and be prepared to look after matters for the board when they are not in session. In justice to the office of county commissioners and clerk of hoar-d our delegation should raise their erlaries. We believe we speak truly wvhen we say the taxpayers tire ini favor oh higher salaries, as it gives the coun ty better and more comipetenit oflicials. iRAISE THE ASSESSMENT. The F. J. Pelzer [arm, near Central, containing 000 acres and heretofore returned at $5.00 per acre, was as seased at $12.00 por acre this .year. T1his is alright and as it shou11ld he; everybody should retur-n thoirreal and personal property at its true val ua tioE, or what it would sell for in open market. If this po icy was pur~sued byV every taxpayer in the state, in two year's time our tax levy wvould not exceed six mis for state and county purposes, and would piobaily drop below this figure if every enterprise bore its proportionatam share of the tax along with the farming elemnent.
