So far we have heard no argument
that makes us doubt the wisdom Of the
comutation road law Those who pay the
tax are exempt from road duty only for
tho year in which, they pay, so If q man
pays the 1st of oct. he will be exempt
ouly three months. If he pays the 1st
day of January he will be exempt twelve
months.

AZ D1sTREssINa ACCIDENT. The par
ticulars Of the sad accident at Central last
week which resulted in the instant death
of Mr.. j. @. Dobbins did not reach us
until We had gone to press. He was in
the employ of the eRichmond and Danville
Railroad Company. 1t was his business
to shift trains at Central. He had lust
started to mount moving engine on the
Sd inst, when his foot slipped and he
fell under tho tender and several cars
passed over his body. His remains were
buried at Roberts Church in Anderson
County. Mr.. Dobbins was a young man
OF muchpromise. Industrious, energetic
and of the kindest disposition, he had
Won the confidence and esteem of all who
knew him. A few years ago he was
happily married to Miss Carrie Lay who
with two little children survive to mourn
their irroparable loss. They have the
sympnthies of the entire community.
The Messenger Of August the 9th has
the following:
Next week tho gentlemen connected
with the Wrought Iron Range Company
who have been in our town for the past
three months leave for Hendersonville,
N. c., which place they will make their
headquarters. Capt. Alspaugh, with the
gentlemen under him, Messrs. Hayden,
Neal Dew, Grim, Coaltrain, Span, Pc
tree and Means during their stay among
us won hosts of friends who are sorrv to
learn of their departure. They are iovi-
al companions and whichever town they
visit they cannot help but make them
solves as popular and well liked as the
excellent "Home Comfort Range" which
is now used by so many families in our
county.
Mr.. e. L. Petree, of the Wrought
Iron Range Company, left here about a
week ago for his home in Winston, N.
O., feeling little ill. To-day the sad
news reaches the many friends he had
made here that he is dead.
There is a mistake abroad in regard
to the reason why certain candi-
dates announcement does not appear
in the SENTINEL. Said candidate nor
any of his friends has ever requested
us in due form to publish his card.
The rules have been published three
times. The reasons upon which they
are based are very plain. It would
bee.unfair to put any friend to an ex
pense without his consent. Twice this
summer the usual announcement fee
was deposited with us, and the an
nouncement withdrawn before we
could go to press. The money, OF a.
sight draft, is the only satisfactory
evidence of consent.
