The directors of the National Tobacco Company are on trial for conspiracy in New York city. i A severe earthquake shock at Calcutta, India, Saturday lasted' about .five minutes. Little dam age was done. It is estimated that the tariff on refined sugar 1.05 fcents per COUNTY AFFAIRS. At the last meeting of the board of county commissioners they decided to fund the county debt and build a courUiouse by issuing bonds to run twenty years bearing interest at 6 per annum. (The last legis lature passed an act allowing them to issue bonds and levy a special tax.) The court house contemplated will be of wood with stone vaults for the records and is not to exceed a cost of $3,000. The. commissioners propose to issue bonds for the ' Lilly judgment (about $28,000) at 50 cents on the dollar, the bonds to bear G interest, (the amount of bonds so issued will be about $14,000) to . run for 20 years subject to the call of the commissioners after five years ; provided, that if the interest is not paid for any two years that the Lilly estate can revive the old judgment for thel full amount less twice the amount paid on the bonds.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia introduced an amendment to the tariff bill placing a tariff of 20 advalorem on cotton im- ported to this country, which was adopted, seven Democrats voting for it. Senator Bacon's ing hyo they desire. The bonds issued will be put on the market and the citizens of the county .will have a chance to buy them. ; To meet the interest on these bonds the commissioners levied a special tax' of 13i cents on the $100 worth cjf property and 40 cents on the poll. The full limit of taxes for county purposes was levied 20 cents on property, 62 cents on the poll. This will make the total State and county taxes, including special tax, 80 cents on property and $2.40 on the poll.

The board thinks it will be able to raise funds to pay cash for current expenses. The f paupers received the cash for tneir orders at tins meeting ior the first time in a good while,. idea is that some of tlie burdens. If a tar id' on wheat enhances the price of wheat then a tarifr on cotton should advance the price of cot ton, as there is little of either imported. Our opinion is that it will not. enhance "the price cotton at all but will enhance the price of the cotton goods in which are used the imported cotton. Senator Bacon's Dem ocracy is termed a "New Dem ocracy" by the Democratic side of the Senate. If the board can arrange to get the county on a cash basis, and it seems they are about to do . 1 1 "I A .1 Oil so, it will be ot great nenent to the county.
