Every thing goes by comparisons.
There is no way of judging any-
thing except by comparing it with
some other thing of like character.
If our rate of taxes is judged by
the rate paid in Texas—without
counting the part furnished by the
state from the school fund, for
court fund, from occupations and
fines—I say make the comparison
with these items left out, and our
rate ia very high; but compare
them with other counties in the
territory where conditions are ex-
actly similar and we make a splen-
did showing. It may not be sus-
ceptible of proof, but theSTAK will
make the assertion that Greer
counties affairs have been adminis-
tered more economically and with
less unnecessary expense to the
county than those of any county
in the territory.

Why, yes, the Star man has
some such recollection, but that
boy and those wolves only existed
in fable and not in fact. This boy

the Sun-Monitors application won't

This bill if passed will authorize
