In Anderson county there is one dwelling

correspondent Of the Ne,rs and Courier,
who got his information from Mr.. 4. J.
Webb, our County Auditor. MS follows:
"In the frat place Mr.. Webb informed
your correspondent that the law did not re-
quire any building not worth one hundred
dollars to he returned. and this information

from other counties TO settle here. Again,
If you will notice. the average valuation OF
land per acre in this county is very high.
Il think it is the second county in the State
IN this respect;) Our people buy and sell
land OF SO much per acre, and if there are
good buildings on plantation they merely
mentioned. This beiug the case some me Of OF
our people may think their buildings are
included In the valuation of their land,
AND then there are Il great many who have
houses that are worth q good deal more
than one hundred dollars, who claim that
they are not worth that amount and do not
return them. This is wrong. and Isuppose
that Anderson county has its share of this
class of wrong-dOers. BE II understood that

the children of the Be,ks county almshouse,
is due to the fact that bed quilt was taken
from cot on which aconvslescent patient
was lying and thrown into yard for the chill
dren to play with. The infected spread was
then put into the laundry and WISHED with
the children's clothes. Thirty cases was the
immediate result of this almost incredible
carelessness. For the spread of diphtheria or
mslsrial and typhoid fevers there is always
an excuse to be found in the popular
ignorance of the causes of these diseases; but
the poorest and most illiterate know how
the poison.of small-po is carried; it is i'm.
possible that the authorities in this institu.
ton can be ignorant of it. There is no way
OF accounting for their carelessness but
by criminal Indifference. DR.. Beard. in bis
recent volume on the treatment of the insane
in Europe, states that higher class of at.
PENDANTS, nurses and keepers in asylums,
hospitals and such institutions, are procura.
BILE there than in this country for the low sal.
aries paid 10 such officials. Judging from
the facts of this case. the salaries paid in the
Berks county almshouse must be exception
ally low. 1t would, we suggest, pay the
taxpayers IN raise them; that is If they are
willing to put their dolsrs in the scale with
the lives of the unfortunate pauper babies
committed TO their charge.

of the Academy of the Visitation in West
Washington personally interested in the
advancement of the pupils were invited to a
musicale" and the result was 10 every way
quite satisfactory. The music was selected
from some Of the best works of the noblest
writers and interpreted by young ladies who
had achieved the highest distinction in the
academy. AS an instrumentalst Miss Minnie

Edgas and Gay.

Throughout; the entire day yesterday the
interest and excitement in the great walking
match was constantly on the increase.
Crowds of spectators were attracted BY the
closeness of the contest, and the excellent mu.
sic which was continually kept on hand. The
pedestrians went on the track early yesterday
morning, about 8 O'Clock, and steady gait
was keptup, with only short intermissions,
till our hour for going to press. At 7 O'Clock
a. m. the score stood: Edgas, 1853 miles. l6
laps; Gay, 100 miles, 10 laps. At 10 a. m.
the score was Edgss, l76 miles 5 laps. and
Gay l73 miles laps. At 2:30 D. m. Eipss
was l9l miles laps and Gay 1888 miles II
laps. They went off at 4:53 D. m. and on
sgsin at p. m. At that time the score was
Edgss POI miles and Cav 1893 miles laps. At
l0:l5p. m. Eigss was pa miles 6 laps and
Gay I'll miles II laps. On going to the
press the score was as follows: Ejsss, Ok
miles .lap and Gay 2l2 miles Z laps. As
on the previous day many ladies were present
and the probabilities are that each
recurring day will bring an increased attend.
ance; Both are still comparatively fresh. and
the betting continues about even. Gay,
though somewhat behind, still has the warm
est support and confidence of his hackers,
while Edgss shows perhaps less nervousness
and seems to be the more popular owing
perhaps to the fact of his being among fri Ands
'nd at home. The contest really though has
Tut fairly begun and 1t is useless to specu.
No as yet as to the result. Both parties
are full game and determined on success.
From now on will be the really holly con-
tested and most exciting portion of the
contest.

Every eye IS fastened on the hog root

I've got a two dollar bill that says

hardware man.
"You must be Wild" growls the
